Kentucky CAG roll call!

[Sailorneorune]

(Note to moderators: If this has been done before and has been subsequently destroyed, then do what you want with this thread.)

Bluegrass State Cheap Ass Gamers, stand up and be counted!

I, Sailorneorune, wish to get to know my CAG comrades in my home state a little better. This is the Kentucky CAG roll call thread, in which you give your username and location, as well as tell a little about yourself.

I'm SAILORNEORUNE, a one-year veteran of CAG, and a card-carrying female gamer (gasp!). I'm a second-year college student majoring in IT, and try each day to fit in time for studying and gaming.

My location is in western Kentucky, approximately 2 1/2 hours from Paducah and 40 minutes from Evansville.

That said, welcome all KY CAGs to my humble thread.

Good Morning Fellow KYans,
y2jedi reporting for duty.
Recent 360 purchaser & father of two who plays games between little league and various other fatherly duties.
Stumbled upon this site back in January by googling the term "Cheap games", and have been wasting time at work on these boards ever since.

FYI,
I work near 4 good gaming outlets.
Target,Meijer, EB, & Gamestop. The last two are right across the street from each other and I'm curious how that will play out. I do know that employees at both places seem a little nervous about the prospects.

I can literally throw a rock to these places from my office. So, if I can help out in any way, just let me know.

[mrosecomdata]

Just checkin' from Louisville. I am also a father of two and big-time GBA fanboy. I like the GBA because the games are cheaper and they don't require as high of a time commitment as the consoles do. I also live near an EB and a Gamestop that are right around the corner from each other.


In case anyone cares, I am playing Mario Tennis: Power Tour right now and enjoying it thoroughly. If I see any good deals, I will let you all know!

[mykevermin]

I live in Newport at the moment, and I'm headed off to Glasgow for the weekend in a few hours. I hope that I can shake this hangover by the time I start driving.

BTW, I'll be in Lexington on 4/4 (this coming Tuesday) to see Hank Williams III play at a club called The Dame. Anyone in that area with taste in music ought to check out that show.

[y2jedi]

The Dame is awesome. Do you know if Joe Buck, formerly of Th' Legendary Shack Shakers is still playing for Hank III ?

[mykevermin]

Yes.

[Wlogan31]

Howdy KYans. I originally hail from Shelbyville (half-way between Louisville and Lexington), but have since bought a house in Louisville where I am permanently planted for now. I attend Bellarmine University (senior year) where I play tennis for the Men's Varsity team. I'll be graduating in December and then I'll be working for Ernst & Young (CPA firm), so I won't have much time to play around on the boards.

Nice to meet all of you and hopefully we'll be able to help each other out on finding some deals!

-Will

[Sailorneorune]

If you build it, they will come... :)

Seriously, nice to meet all of you, and while I'm not disappointed with the turnout, I wonder if there are more CAGs in the western part of the state.

[LV-426RS]

From Louisville here. Born and raised. I don't live in rocks throw from any gaming store but I'm no more than 7-12 minutes from a multitude of places.

[jughead]

Bam, sign me up! Maybe moving to South Carolina after graduation.

[Krymner]

Even though I live in Atlanta, I grew up in Bowling Green and lived there until I was 22. I still visit my parents there often, and I'll check in here every now and again. :wave:

[almasy82]

Not from kentucky but..been here for a few years in berea, ky

[DantheApe]

Louisville CAG been one forever it seems.

I'm working out at the Zoo in the mantinence office which has me wanting some handheld games but all I seem to play are consoles [xbox fan, saving up for a 360]

[jdangerc]

I'm living it up in the NKY. Pendleton Kentucky! It's about 45 minutes from Cincinnati OH. I've been on here for about 2 years. I have probably almost destroyed the 3 Gamerushes that are in my area.

[Ronin4223]

Newport, KY here. Moved here from Lexington when I was 8. Found CAG from an EGM article a few years ago. I have a 360 (Gamertag:Rotundra) if anyone wants to add me to their list. I work at Fidelity Investments and am woking on going back to school. I got my girlfriend (Gamertag:big honda girl) into gaming a few years ago, and now it's a tug-of-war for the controller.

[rodninni]

Richmond, Kentucky here. Although I travel to Lexington for all of my CAG needs.

[fatherofcaitlyn]

Been in Kentucky long enough to realize I can't escape. Thanks, marriage and kids.

[n3xus1]

Hey Guys, I'm from Jackson, KY. South east of Lexington about 2 hours drive. Nice to meet all of you.

[bigjay]

I'm from Louisville.

[Sailorneorune]

My thread lives!

*sniff* I'm so proud... ^___^

Nice to meet all of you.

Lately, I've been turning more towards older games and portable games, simply because they're easier to pick up and drop within a moment's notice. I'm online with my DS now too thanks to a cheap ass grab at Book Broker, so if any of you go online with your DS, feel free to challenge me (only applicable on Mondays and Tuesdays, probably until the end of time).

/tech support

[yetidaddy]

hiya, yay thread lives!

I'm from Louisville, KY near UofL. Was planning on attending computer, but never got around to it. Currently enrolled in JCC downtown, just going for general. I don't find time anymore, only about 3 hours a day or so.

[Saikou]

I reside from Louisville ladies and gentleman.

[yetidaddy]

oy, it always seem like the deals are everywhere else but Kentucky.. doesn't it ? Or maybe I'm the last to know about it.

[monkeywithanuzi]

oy, it always seem like the deals are everywhere else but Kentucky.. doesn't it ? Or maybe I'm the last to know about it.

HA! So it isn't just me? They're out there...

Reporting in Loo-ee-vaille. Deals can be had, just gotta keep a sharp eye and learn to use up those lunch breaks (deals don't make it past business hours :D).

[jdangerc]

FALMOUTH KY HERE!!!!

45 minutes away from Cincinnati, and 45 min away from Lexington.

[Sailorneorune]

I usually have to sneak across the bridge to get in on the CAG deals (this is why I hang around in both the KY and IN CAG threads)... I've found my fair share of cool stuff in Henderson, Evansville, and Owensboro, and I REALLY need to get back over to Paducah and raid the classic gaming goldmine I stumbled onto last fall.

If any of you have any locally owned stores that have games near you, give them a look. They may not know what they have... ^_^

[yetidaddy]

hehe. Very true. I once went into CC hoping to find one copy of .hack but stumple on a lot of pokemon card reader thing. I occassionally find deals on ebay and half.com. Usually is cheaper than my ebgames and gs.

Now I'm more open and looking at target and compusa.

I never checked the ebgames or Gs was it, in Jeffersonville IN ? Did ya see anything in there ?

[monkeywithanuzi]

Naw, they're no better. Too many eBayers in this town. I had better luck during the last CC clearance when I happened to be in Evansville. You gotta get up REAL early and check the deals to get in on 'm quick here.

[Sailorneorune]

monkey - I'm glad you were able to get some deals out of that... I had snagged Drill Dozer, Guilty Gear DS, and Metroid Prime 2 from the last clearance, but other than that... nada.

Most of the cheap stuff ends up on ebay or at the Book & Music Exchange. I checked out both tent sales there, which were slightly more organized than a riot. Yikes. o_O

If you're ever in Henderson or Evansville again, you just might see me, raiding the Book Broker.

Stay cool.

[Wlogan31]

Anyone in the Louisville area lucky enough to score a PS3 preorder this morning? I wasn't :(

Maybe someone would sell me their preorder :)

[Z-Saber]

I live in Southern Ohio. Does that count?

[levanjm]

Hey,

Just noticed the thread! Nice to see so many Ky-ians on the site. Of course, I guess that makes it tougher to get the good deals in Lexington......

I grew up in Richmond, and am now living in Lexington. Been lurking through the boards for a couple of years now.

Take care,
Mike

[Sailorneorune]

Z-Saber - sure, why not? The Indiana CAGs don't mind me being in their thread (I think ^^; ), so why should I exclude you from this one?

Levanjm - welcome! :)

Great turnout thus far... though I wish there were more CAGs in the western part of the state. It makes me wish I were a little further east.

[T234]

I live further out in the country than any of yall, Montgomery County here (30 Miles east of Lexington) although I'm sitting in a comp. lab at school in Lex. now.

[misterbowtie]

Louisville, represent.

[iced1138]

Hey, I live in Paducah. First post ever here, yay!

[Wlogan31]

Hey, I live in Paducah. First post ever here, yay!

Welcome!

[Sailorneorune]

Welcome aboard, especially to my humble KY CAG thread.

[dandylife]

Here's a thread I never thought I'd see.

I'm from Louisville, too. I went to Bellarmine College, too. Graduated with a degree in Sociology. I do nothing now. That's what you do with a degree in Sociology.

I wish I could report on some great deals around here, but I don't encounter many good buys. The best way to get cheap games is to purchase them at Best Buy on release week and take advantage of the pricematch + retroactive 10% discount when they inevitably go on sale a few weeks later.

[Sailorneorune]

College towns seem to be a mixed bag for CAG deals...

Based on personal experience, I've had the best experiences in Evansville, IN and Cookeville, TN. Murray and Henderson (the latter only counts as a college town on a technicality)... not so much.

/wants to go to Cookeville again... but can't. damn work and all...

[DeadGein]

Hey, I go by Gein, I'm in Louisville off dixie highway

[jughead]

Anyone found any stores in the Lexinton area releasing Halo 3 early?

[Jewelz23]

I am in Lexington right now, UK baby.

[Mako1215]

In Frankfort.

[Corvin]

Louisville - J-town to be exact. Not to far from the Hurstbourne/Taylorsville sprawl. (2 blockbusters, Target, Wal-Mart, Meijer, 2 Gamestops)

I seem to miss all the great deals as well. :lol: I think there are few ebayers around here. :(

Owner of a trifecta. The 360 gets the most time followed by the PS3 and lastly the Wii. Truthfully, the PS3 only gets play because I never owned a PS2 so I'm catching up on titles I missed. So technically if you exclude PS2 games, and only go by NEW systems, then the Wii has the PS3 titles beat. I actually don't own any PS3 titles, but a half dozen Wii ones.

Howdy KYans. I originally hail from Shelbyville (half-way between Louisville and Lexington),

I used to drive out to that Wal-Mart, weekly, in the mid 90's when it first opened. It was a good place to find the hard to find Star Wars figures. I also managed to get a launch PS3 from the Gamestop in the same area.

[misfits859]

Danville here. I do most of my game hunting in the Lexington area. Seems I always end up in Hamburg anymore.

[PhoenixRisen]

Eddyville here.. and for deals i have to hit up paducah or usually online. Thank God for gamefly tho.

[Ralphie]

Born and raised in Louisville and been a cheap ass since I made my first dollar. Still playing PS2 and not even thinking about a new console, maybe a DS or PSP though.

Hey, I've been to the prisons down there a few times. Business only though, not as an inmate. :D

[SexyBeast]

Lawrence County and Morehead, here. Morehead for college, Lawrence County for home. How's all the other KYCag'ers?

[mitchondria]

fleming county here.....

im the only cag from this area other than sexy beast (morehead) 10 min away.

[Mako1215]

I'm not in Frankfort anymore. I'm back home in the East End of Louisville(middletownish)

For anyone that plays Halo you can sign up for Halocal and it allows you to search for people that play Halo3 that live near you.

[sodapopinski]

Louisville, East End here as well!

[thundarr]

Elizabethtown here. Guesss I'm the only one from Central Ky. More for me, more for me.......

[Sailorneorune]

I'm the only Henderson CAG, it looks like... oh well, more for me until I cross the bridge. ^^;

[drtomoe123]

Well, I technically live in VA, but at home, I'm 15 minutes away from Middlesboro, so I just count myself as living in Kentucky, and I used to live there, so yeah, haha.

I go to college in Wise, VA now, so I pretty much hit up Pikeville and Middlesboro/Barbourville/Corbin every so often. My dad lives in Lexington, though, so I'm up there a lot too.

No one from wayyyyy southeast, eh? haha

There's a nice game store in Corbin as I recall, only dropped in once but they had a ton of stuff. Seemed like it was called King's Games or something like that. Check it out when you're in town.

[Sailorneorune]

Henderson County here -- *points to insignificant blip southwest of Evansville*

Glad to have so many KY CAGs here - may just keep track of the counties represented for a cheap laugh or two, though it's pretty obvious the majority hails from Louisville and Lexington.

I've been to the gambling boat in that area before, little west of Owensboro and I think it was in Henderson. I believe it was Aztar...I'm getting a little sloppy with places and things anymore.

[rodninni]

I'm from Middlesboro, but now live in Berea. The store in Corbin is called Game King, and they have a lot of neat stuff in there. It's located on Main Street; you'll see a billboard by the Gamestop on the Parkway. I stopped in this week on my way to visit my folks. I think they have almost every system you could imagine for sale in there, and most with original packaging. Things I had never even seen before, much less owned. Check it out.

Sweet, I live in Louisville, what kind of stuff do they have in there? Anything really old, like SNES and stuff?

[misfits859]

Yep. I recall seeing plenty of NES, SNES, Genesis, N64 etc... Lots of older stuff too that doesn't interest m: Intellivision, Atari and so forth. I guess what makes'em different for me was the wide variety of just about everything anf lots of stuff you simply never see in stores in this area.

[MightyHealthy]

Just checking in...yet another Louisvillian

[Hollywood]

Maybe we should make a Louisville mail list or something? I don't find a ton of awesome deals here so I would like to keep up.

[Sailorneorune]

Please feel free to do so - I'm from western KY, so I won't be much help, but I'll be glad to help compile the information.

[Mako1215]

Checkin for Louisville.

[doughazelwood]

Grayson Co. here, 30 minutes from thundarr. no deals in my hometown...

[brittonrupp]

hey i"m in Louisville, if anyone ever wants to meet up i'd be cool with it. once my wife and i get a house i would love to have a CAG meetup there! hopefully it will be soon.

[T234]

Oh shit it's Hollywood!

I live in London currently and lived in Manchester (home of University of Kentuck & Clay County basketball great Richie Farmer) for pretty much my entire life. They're near Corbin, Barbourville and Somerset.

Hi all I live in Nicholasville currently. Originally from the London-Corbin area. Lived in Morehead for a while during the mid to late 90's.

[PJSkiboy]

Bowling Green is in the house. Raise the roof! Errrr.......not.

[craigbezzle]

I'm in Louisville.

[Sailorneorune]

I know everyone here is either in Louisville or somewhere else not in western Kentucky, but I've got the time off to go to OMGCon in Paducah in June.

[Mako1215]

I know everyone here is either in Louisville or somewhere else not in western Kentucky, but I've got the time off to go to OMGCon in Paducah in June.

The what??

I guess it must be everyone else from Louisville that is raping the clearance games before I get to them

[Kanyon9891]

I'm in western KY too Sailorneorune. Owensboro to be exact.

[masishadow]

Ah OMGcon...try to keep daniel (the founder/financier/scrawny blond guy) from tearing his hair out. Murray here, originally from Paducah. Recently quit playing mmo's and went back to consoles...1 month and 2 broken 360's later, waiting on a repair :p (never had a 360 last more than 21 days)

Wish I could go to OMGcon but I'm heading to China in about 10 days. Go go international student girlfriends. I'm hoping to get some cheap region free games over there. Hell, maybe even pick up a japanese unit, probably a PS3 though. (I knew there was a reason I learned Japanese...not for my business degree, just to play games. Though I do know a korean guy who learned english solely to play FFVII)

Nice to meet ya.

[DantheApe]

3 years later and I'm still in Louisville....now at insight, any other call center workers up in here?

Book and music exchange in Henderson is the best place i found for games so far :).
Great place that is.
Theres a wallgreens by a wendys (like henderson doesn't have enough of those) that you take a right at, then keep going straight, if you went the right way theres a school and a dominoes XD.
Keep going straight for like 1 minute and its just to the right in this plaza like area.
ALSO!
I have to get across the bridge to get ALL the CAG deals here.
Damn evansville bestbuy seems to never have anything though :cry:.

[masishadow]

I agree book and music exchange is awesome...also greetings (even though nothing good comes from morganfield!)

[zombiealucard]

I agree book and music exchange is awesome...also greetings (even though nothing good comes from morganfield!)
Yup.
Im all this towns got XD.
Book and music exchange should have a website up though.
I'd like to see how they do their trade ins/how much each game is worth :D.

[sleepydumbdude]

I used to work at Book and Music exchange in henderson like 3 years ago. I got fired because I kept purchasing games from my own pocket instead of from the store. Oh well it was worth it. I used to have like at the kmart there but not anymore.

[marshmayhem]

http://kygamersguild.roflforum.net

Hey this is my forum I made its purely for ky gamers to meet locals exchange gamertags or PSN ID's or just talk about games,we also are going to be planning some tournaments but theres plenty areas for just casual gaming discussion too.If ur from KY and game join us!

[zombiealucard]

I used to work at Book and Music exchange in henderson like 3 years ago. I got fired because I kept purchasing games from my own pocket instead of from the store. Oh well it was worth it. I used to have like at the kmart there but not anymore.
yeah, since the kmart is owned by Sears its gone to hell.
even all the standard k-mart deals aren't there :/

[Sailorneorune]

Hey, thanks everyone.

My thread gets some more love. Yay. ^_^

Zombiealucard - you're really close to me! I work in Morganfield, all my friends are in Henderson, and I currently reside at the halfway point. The underground lair is still standing.

Born and raised in Kentucky, too. Started CAG 4 years ago, and fell in love with a guy who sent me some games to test the Saturn I paid $5 for at the old Morganfield SA Thrift Store.

My favorite games are Super Mario Bros. 3, Klonoa, The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past, and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

I gotta cross the bridge just the same, but I buy my anime from Right Stuf and my games from Book Broker.

Have any of the western KY CAGs been to Book Broker? It's worth the trip - they may not always have what you're looking for, but when they do, it's cheap. Half-price Dragon Quest IV ftw.

About the BME - the Diamond Avenue store seems to be the best. Numero uno - they're the only BME that carries Sega games and consoles. Point 2 - they don't seem to get as many of the Amazonesque price hikes as the Henderson store.

But when the Xbox I got from them bit the dust, they were nice enough to transport another system from Washington Ave. to Hendo under the warranty.

[masishadow]

2 more days before i leave for china. go go region free ps3 and happy endings (-_-)shhhh.

[Sailorneorune]

Take care. :)

[HCHecxz]

I'm from Elizabethtown, KY

Plus i'm close to town so I got Wal-Mart, GameStop, Best Buy, K-Mart, Target, Blockbuster, Game Crazy and FYE (which doesnt sell games anymore) to cover.

Best place I get deals at is a Mom and Pop shop in town called "Ol' Buddies" which sell as new and used stuff including a lot of retro gaming too, they are really good on everything!

So I try to keep tabs on things if I see anything clearance or some great deal. :)

While I'm not at school in Utica NY, I'm at home in KY.

Unfortunately, home is in Somerset, which makes life as a CAG tough. :S

[HCHecxz]

Welcome. Ol' Buddies is the greatest.

You damn right it is :)

Heck, they hooked me up with my 80GB MGS4 PS3 Bundle when it came out before everyone else cleaned them out, now everyones complaining they didn't get them then because this one has the full backwards comp. on all PS2 games :)

[masishadow]

Note to self...don't buy video games in convenience stores in Tokyo...omg expensive.

~65 usd for dragon quest IX ds...65 for a ds game...

Oh well...off to china today...the land of cheap knock-offs (video games included.) I've heard from my chinese friends that only stupid people buy the authentic copies of the game in China.

So may I ask the name? :D

[B.K.]

Can someone give me directions to the Gamestop in London? I've tried three or four times, but I can't find it. All the directions I find online take me to the wrong place.

[DGibFen]

Louisville CAG - The Wal-Mart on Hurstbourne Ln. (near J-Town) has 2000 point Wii cards with a joystick sleeve for 10.00 on clearance. There were about 10 or so when I checked this morning.

[Sailorneorune]

So may I ask the name? :D

My name?

Search for sailorneorune on GameTZ, or trade with me, and you'll find out. :)

Hey all, another Elizabethtown, Ky CAG checking in here. I agree with HCH about Ol' Buddies but I think it should also be noted that we have probably the friendliest Best Buy staff here that I've ever seen. I do alot of price matching and they not only work with you but I've even had a manager print out an ad on their own computer when they could not use the one I had (for a 60gb PS3 no less!). Great people!

[Sailorneorune]

Yo, I'm in Nicholasville its near Lexington like a 10 min drive away, I'm also new to CAG so haya lol

I shoulda added a little more about myself eh? well... I've lived here most of my life and I've been a gamer for just about the same amount of time, I loves me some good old school gaming especially jrpgs, I love all genras of gaming save for the new trend in fitness games and sports games (though I'll give sports games a chance I loved NBA jam on the genesis XD) my favorit game of all time would be Castlvania: Symphony of the night and all of the castlevania series. anyway its nice to meet you all!

[thundarr]

Greetings Athanasius, and welcome to CAG! Good ol' Jessamine County, isn't it?

Thank you, and yup yup lived here most of my life.

[ender65]

I'm from Villa Hills, but going to school at Centre College.

[deathmothon]

CAG noob here. I'm originally from Grayson Ky (near Ashland). Don't see too many eastern KYans here. Guess the internet hasn't penetrated into the hills yet :-?. I live and work in Lexington now though. Best deals are usually Amazon or EBay for me.

[oliverqueen]

Cag from the ville now living in London, England for the year. Miss my hometown!!

[BaratoGamer]

I'm in downtown Louisville.

Anyone in the Metro Louisville area thinking about going to GameStop for BlackFriday (if Amazon doesn't match/beat or you can't wait): The Poplar GameStop is less than two years old, a very nice store and on two different trips, I was told their BlackFriday was slow and they only had 16 people line up yesterday. According to the associates, BF was weaker than a midnight release.

Owensboro - Born & Raised

[Sailorneorune]

Cool, someone from Owensboro. I head that way every so often (Waffle House FTW). Anyone find anything cool in the last few weeks?

[AEJustin1]

Born and Raised in Owensboro myself, work in Owensboro as well, although I currently live just on the other side of Reo, IN. 15 mins from O'boro

[Rusty Spoon]

Currently perched in Bowling Green, though I'm looking for any reason / opportunity to move elsewhere.

[goatofwonder]

Just saw this thread for the first time. I live in Owensboro and work in Henderson. I also know Rusty Spoon...and I am scared of him.

[Sailorneorune]

It's good to have friends, even if they scare you a little.

Thanks for posting in my thread - sorry for the lack of deal postings, as most of the places I go to are pretty random on the goodies.

[An J0e]

Louisville for me.

[neonlights326]

Bowling Green. Hi everyone!

[litjester]

I grew up in Pikeville, Ky. now living in Georgetown, on account of working at Toyota. Great to see that KY is so well represented here, I just wish the stores around here would put stuff on clearance when everyone else does.

Want target clearance:drool:

[misfits859]

Kinda off topic, but...Go CATS! One win and we're into the Final Four!!! One year removed from the most horrible disaster of a season ever.

[Sailorneorune]

This is the Kentucky thread - the Cats are considered on-topic. ;)

Cool to see this group growing.

Now for my turn in the OT-mobile: anyone going to OMGCon? June 11-13, in Paducah.

[Mako1215]

Anyone getting any good stuff? My last good catch was BS2 LE that price dropped to 69.99- 20$ coupon.

Got 3 because I had some games to return from my bday.

[HCHecxz]

Haven't seen anything that has blown my mind that isn't being discussed in the main Video Games forum.

However, I saw the regular version of Splinter Cell: Convinction (with the 1 Month Live Card) at Target in Elizabethtown, KY for $49.99 tagged inside the glass case. However it saids $59.99 in their sale ad. So I dunno if it's a typo or legit, but figure someone close by could jump on it.

I got the CE of it today at Best Buy for $59.99 with a Working USB Drive, YAY!

[Mako1215]

I'm going to see if I can get that Convinction CE soon. I got a GC to burn.

[Rusty Spoon]

Bowling Green. Hi everyone!

You wouldn't happen to be the BG CAG that's hording all the Target clearance, would you? :lol:

[SEH]

Just moved to Leander, Kentucky about a month ago from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Liking it so far, but ya' gotta drive 40 minutes to get to a Gamestop which sucks, and there's no Targets in the area period.

[PJSkiboy]

You wouldn't happen to be the BG CAG that's hording all the Target clearance, would you? :lol:

Nope, that's me. :bomb:

Stopped by the BG Target this week. For the XBOX 360 all i saw was the Beatles game for maybe $20~ish...? I know GH: Van Halen is down to $30. Two copies left. Hoping that drops another $10 next Monday. (Just in case anyone wants to be nice to me and leave me one of the two copies on Monday morning. :) )

[Sailorneorune]

Picked up a few uncommon guides at the Henderson Book & Music Exchange over the last couple of weeks, including the one for Ogre Battle 64. What I thought was really funny, though, is that the Monday before getting that guide, OB64 hit the Virtual Console!

So, I should probably play it, eh?

Another shoutout to the Western KY CAGs - anyone going to OMGCon Paducah?

[neonlights326]

You wouldn't happen to be the BG CAG that's hording all the Target clearance, would you? :lol:

No, and I was wondering who the hell was doing that as well! :bomb: It really ticks me off.

[An J0e]

KY thread seems the best place to ask this; does anyone know if ear x tacy closed yet (or re-opened somewhere). i don't feel like a 30 min ride for disappointment. They are the only place i know that carry the bands i like.

[Sailorneorune]

I'm a lot closer to Henderson than to Louisville, but here are the results of a quick Google search:

lol

Funny, when UL players do signings they are free. $20 for Cousin's autograph? What a douchebag.

[SEH]

Had it been free, I would've stopped by one of the Pikeville signings. I'm not paying for an autograph though.

[gargus]

NOrthern KY cag here, just bit south of cincinnati OH.

Anyone in the area wanna say hi just shoot me a pm or something. Maybe can go have a beer sometime, or I know a arcade near me you pay 10 bucks and can play all day long, or hell do both!.

[Kilvas09]

Eastern, KY, cag here.
Add me on PSN, Xbox live, or steam and play some games with me. :D

checked that right before i put up the question and the site was down :D ty.

[PJSkiboy]

The Bowling Green Target clearance has pretty much dried up as far as games go anymore. It's been like this since they changed over to the new layout in electronics.

Anyone else notice the same thing in any of the other KY Target locations?

[SEH]

Anyone know about the new Gamestop in Prestonsburg? We moved here about five months ago, and there was one in Prestonsburg at that time, but it had just closed. While browsing Gamestops website about an hour ago, I noticed some used games in-stock at a new location in Prestonsburg. Anyone know anything about this store? I've been dying, having to drive 50 minutes to Pikeville just to go to a Gamestop, so if there really is a new one 20 minutes away, I'll be very happy.

It didn't close. They couldn't open it due to some sort of agreement with Movie Gallery's lease of no video game retailers allowed in the lot. So they had to wait for MG to close so that they could open it. It's alright a few of the guys that worked the P'ville location are working their now. It's like every other GS I've ever been to. If it's a shorter drive definitely go to Prestonsburg.

[SEH]

Yeah, I stopped in today. It's a nice location and a pretty large store (the main one I used to go to back when I lived in Wisconsin was half the size). It definitely beats driving all the way out to Pikeville. The guy working there was really nice too, which is a great change of pace. Most GS's I've been in have employees that are just downright rude.

[wittyreference]

What's up guys? Witty here, born and raised in Louisville, and currently attending UofL for an Arts and Sciences degree (would you like fries with that.)

P.S. The Cardinal has teeth! WTF?

[Sailorneorune]

Welcome aboard!

[BravoCCRider711]

Sailorneorune is looking for CAGs in the WKY - here's one. Though my wife, kids, and I are basically nomads (I sing opera for a living and travel from gig to gig), I grew up and frequent western KY. Marion is the town - about an hour drive NE from Paducah - where I was raised and where my parents still live. Gotta bring those grandkids in for them to see as often as possible. ;-)

[Sailorneorune]

^_^ Welcome!

This is actually a thread for all Kentucky CAGs - finding ones in the western part of the state is just a bonus that I hope will one day lead to a CAG meetup at OMGCon in Paducah. Being in western Kentucky also makes it easier to sneak across the bridge for sushi and $10 copies of Professor Layton and the Unwound Future.

Hoping to spend about twice as much time (and money lol) in Paducah as I normally do come June 2011, so I can see my youngest cousin before her 16th birthday and invite her to party down with us at OMGCon.

CAG meetup at OMGCon would be great. I've never been, but I was thinking about going.

Anyone from northern ky area want to grab a beer and hit a arcade with me sometime? Im from around cincinnati area. Shoot me a pm sometime if anyone wants to just chat some or whatnot.

Fellow NKY CAg here. I think this site has caused me to spend more money over the years on games as I'm afraid to miss out on all the great deals that are too good to pass on.

[Rusty Spoon]

If any BG CAG is looking to buy a PS3, I'm looking to sell mine (just not enough time to play it). Local only though, unless you want to drive here and meet me. Here's the details:

http://bgky.craigslist.org/vgm/2239627919.html

[ssr]

BG, KY here. Moved to BG when I came to WKU 6 years ago. Just finished graduate school there and am now looking for a job in the state (preferably Lexington area). I'm a KMart release week frequenter but I hit up Great Escape and CD Warehouse for some amazing deals on games pretty often too.

[xtortedmemory]

NKY here tooooo.

[EarthBoundX5]

I'm from and live in Minnesota...but I have property down in Murray that I visit often (that and my family used to basically own like half the city a long long time ago); so as far as I care, I belong here too 8-).

Wish KY had a deal thread, so I'd have something to watch each time I was down there. WIthout it though, I've managed to get some of my coolest finds down there. Most recent was Shenmue II for Dreamcast! complete and mint for $2!!!
