Anyone else here live in Tallahassee? Come on now I know you're out there!

Um, I'm moving there in August to go to FSU. Where do you usually buy your games?

I'm in Tallahassee.

Darth: Nothing too special here. There's a few EB's, one Gamestop, a few Wal-Marts, a Sears, Best Buy, Circuit City, a place called Games4Less whose prices are no less than anywhere else...

The EB's are fine here, the Gamestop seems to have friendly employees. As always, Wal-mart seems to have things in stock that noone else does. Sears sucks, K-mart is TERRIBLE (if there is even a sale posted on the deal forums for K-Mart, i say don't bother checking the Tallahassee one.), Best Buy is okay, Circuit City is great (in my experience).

Tallahassee's not the greatest place for video games, but whatever.

Signed.

Yeah the CC is pretty good, I was in there yesterday to pick up NSMB. Its never that busy and they always seem to have stuff in stock. I was surprised that I got the second to last NSMB there.

yeah, I'm in Tally also.

Awesome - I got the third to last one, at around 4:30 PMish. I presume you were there soon thereafter?

Yeah like 20 minutes later lol.

I left Tallahassee almost a year ago now... wow was it really that long ago? I enjoyed my time there. Found plenty of good deals. Keep your eye on the EBGames, I usually went to the one on Ocala road (Closest to my house). And if you want to rent from BB, go to the one on Monroe as the one next to campus on Tennessee is always out of everything. Enjoy FSU, I know I did.

Yep, Sartori, Yeldarb, Suko_32 and I are also Tallahassee CAGers.

We used to get together and have pizza about a year and a half back but it sort of fell apart. Anybody feel like getting together again, let me know...

We're always up for some Smash Brothers and Mario Party...

Or Battlefront 2...

Oh yeah - and I'm always seeing Coffee Edge riding his bike around town.

You can spot that dude a mile away.

Crazy hair.

I live in Tally too. I agree with the Gamers4Less, he is a ripoff and has the same stuff in both stores. I use to go to local Blockbusters and get them to pull stuff off their shelves and sell for about $12.99, plus they always have the B2G1 deal. It's hard to this anymore since now they send back their overflow of games to headquarters. Let me know if there any deals out.

I'm wondering if anyone in Tally has ever had any luck scoring deals at the Pawn shops around here? I'd love to go around looking, but there are about 1,000,000 pawn shops in tallahassee, and I'd like to know which ones to scope out.

I've never checked myself but I've wanted to ever since I moved up here. I want to check out garage sales too but I have this problem with getting up early on the weekends.

Agreed. Plus, I've never found anything good at a garage sale, so I've kind of stopped going to them.

I would be up for some Mario Party or Super Smash someday. I'll be here during the summers since I now go to UF for college. I'm taking a summer class at FAMU since I missed FSU's registration deadline.

My neighborhood doesn't really have garage sales like my old one back then.

You went from FSU to UF? You turncoat! J/K, but yeah I'll be up here until the end of next month when summer school ends, then going back home to Ft. Lauderdale for about a week, then up to Orlando for the rest of the summer for a clerkship.

Eh..kinda. I lived in Tallahassee for most of my life. I didn't choose to go to FSU for college though so I was never a student there. So yep, turncoat kinda lol.

Just got my Master's from FSU and I must say I am going to miss my pawn shops finds. For the 3 months I lived in Tally I got 2 complete Final Fantasy VIIs, Wanderers from Ys III, Super Smash Brothers Melee ($3) w box no manual, Gradius III & IV (.50 cents), Legacy of Galahad, to name a few. To make a long story short, Hit up the pawn shops (The Tharpe, N Monroe, to Tennessee Ave., loop will bring you to 7 decent pawn shops).

WOW! I'm definitely going to have to check them out then!
