I haven't been into a GameStop in a couple of years. There was a time when I went weekly.

Curious, indeed. I guess they want to put some Think Geek items in brick and mortar stores.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Me, too. But with the advent of GoG I just don't feel the need. They seem to gone exclusively to console games and I just don't have that as an interest.

Well, the option was Hot Topic buying ThinkGeek, so GameStop is probably a better fit, if not a great one.
