    1. 7-Eleven sells games?
    2. You can preorder games at 7-Eleven?
    3. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't understand what I'm talking about at 7-Eleven.

    Fuck games, I just want 7-11's in MD to get goddamn liquor licenses. I hate having to go to a dedicated liquor store just to pick up a goddamn 6 pack.

    @emwurst: Uh, because plenty of 7-11's all around the country have liquor licenses. I'd guess the reason 7-11's in the DC metro area don't obtain isn't because of crime but because the dedicated liquor store industry is pretty strong in the area. Hell, I only know of one grocery store that can stock beers, and I'm pretty sure that's because they haven't remodelled yet and haven't had to renew their license. And even then they can't sell on Sundays.

    7-11's carrying beer and wines would put a hurting on the liquor stores, and they have a strong enough presence that I'm pretty sure they can lobby to keep that from happening.

    @Sir-Lucius has no pictchar!: Maryland has varying laws, but for the most part, the way I understand it, spirits are controlled. If you don't know what I mean, allow me to give you an example: I live in Oregon. Oregon is a state that controls alcohol, in particular, distilled spirits. This means grocery stores and other convenience stores cannot sell liquor. You have to go to a dedicated liquor store to purchase them. This is to prevent minors from having access to places that sell liquor, by having a store you have to be 21 just to be in.

    This, and now Domo-kun is coming to America. The U.S. 7-11 is becoming more and more like it's Japanese big brother everyday.

    Here is domo-kun, American style.

    And yeah, I would consider pre-ordering this, but my local 7-11 doesn't carry games.

    Yeah, but based on the beta MAG really isn't very good. The fundamental gameplay just isn't enjoyable and I really can't see it being fixable in the short term.

    @SacGamer: That's like saying an RPG is an RPG, or a rhythm game is a rhythm game, etc, etc.

    There are numerous reasons MAG could be better or worse than other shooters, just like how there are numerous reasons FFXIII, Resonance of Fate, or Magna Carta 2 could be better or worse than other RPG's available.

    Oh, yes. 7-Eleven.

    I see commercials for it on TV all of the time. But I have never seen one. In fact I think the closest one is more than 100 miles away.

    What are they like?

    @AncientUnknown1: They are your typical convenience store, but they do carry a little bit of everything, so there is more variety than your typical gas-station type store. Kinda like a mini-mini-grocery store.

    They are a Japanese company by the way. In fact, they look pretty much identical to the ones in Japan.

    @bakagaijin: I remember about that. One of the funniest things in business. 7-11 starts as an American company. Decides to start up a Japanese subsidiary. Said subsidiary grows so quickly it then buys the American parent company.

    Now that is comedy.

    @AncientUnknown1: Like a convenience store. You have an AM'/PM? Or any other type of convenience store? Pretty much like that, only ever so slightly bigger. Not all of them carry video games. They have a nice selection of snacks and drinks. They've started carrying semi-decent sandwiches at a few near me.

    When you say you haven't seen one, it boggles my mind...I think I have like 4 or 5 within a 10 mile radius of me. No joke.

    Great, yet another reason to be stuck in line at 7-11. First the old people came for the lotto, then the service industry people came for the taquitos, now the kids will be standing there trying to explain to someone who *really* doesn't care that they'd like to pre-order a video game.
