Good Gaming Stores in Atlanta?

I've got some time to kill this afternoon and tomorrow.

Sorry, I don't know Atlanta and can't help you except to say that I think your question in not OT and therefore could be posted in the General forum where you'll probably get an answer.

By the way, I'm not a mod and you may want to check with one before posting in the General forum.

Where are you in Atlanta? Arguably the best and most popular gaming/geekdom store in Atlanta is Oxford Comics, which I /believe/ is on Piedmont road. I know how to get there from my apartment, but you'll probably want to do a Google search.

If you were here on a weekend, you could probably find open gaming at The War Room, which is up I-85, north of the city center. They don't have so much in terms of products, though.

I suggest Oxford. You won't be disappointed (unless you happen to be a representative of the Japanese film industry, in which case you'll die upon realizing how many, well, illegal DVDs they keep at the store for rental purposes; but they're mostly things that haven't been licensed here, so they're in a legal gray area).

you could also try the War Room
and a small shop called the Dragonshoard out in Stone Mtn off Memorial.

Titan Comics and Games is still in the area, but i'm not sure where. the store near me closed.

maybe Odin's Comics in Lilburn, too?

Sword of the Phoenix would be a great choice. Titans has a couple stores around I think. One is on hwy 41 in Marietta not to far from 285.

I would avoid Xavain games and comics just because I don't like the owners. My neighborhood game store is Dr. No's it is on hwy 5 in Marietta. That might be a bit too far.

War room is not as big as it used to be and moved to Duluth. You'll have to look them up.

Titan on 41 is not worth a special trip. It's really small and mostly comic oriented. I really like the War Room but I haven't been to their new location. The one on Hwy. 5 that somebody mentioned has a nice spread too, but it's likely going to be a bit far to get to.

I mentioned Dr. No's also.

War Room again is small. I've been only once to the new store but I think you can just scan the place from the entrance and see everything.

So you did. I can never remember the name of that store. It's a good one though. Maybe I'll drive up there this weekend.

Thanks, all. Man, did I just get lost trying to find some barbeque. I ended up in a super sketchy part of town.
