Man. Vintage Blockbuster nights as a kid. We'd load up on video games, while Mom picked a bunch of new releases.

We'd watch them all, and then play video games 'til we damn near went blind. Return them Monday and start over again.

The best feeling ever at Blockbuster was noticing your video game/movie was out of stock, only to discover that it had just been returned and was waiting at the front desk to be reshelved. That could make or break a weekend.

Yeah, you might get lucky and have the "cool" clerk who would actually grab it out of the return box for you, or you might get the dick who said they had to be rewound and reshelved.

We had a Blockbuster on the nicer end of my neighborhood. On the run down side, we had the independent little store that was full of obscure straight to video action and horror movies. And of course, the little store had the little room in the back that you'd always try to peak into.
