    inb4 the customers use those markers to draw dicks instead of signing their name

      I thought the same thing as soon as Rudy mentioned it. The light will do a great job of casting dick shadow puppets all over the store.

      I don't think Rudy has a choice now. Even if he changes his mind, if there is glass, there WILL be dicks.

    They probably left the extra carpet because they heard someone was opening a card shop in 2017 and they knew they'd just be back in a couple months to change the floors again when the next tennant moves in (old carpet will be stained with tears)

    Nah bro the carpet people ALWAYS leave extra carpet behind , always , Idk why , but I do construction and they always leave a bunch behind, also the drywall/ stucco people always leave behind bags of drywall and stucco , and the painters always leave behind buckets of paint.
    And no trade cleans up behind themselves , painters over spray everything without care , drywall people get drywall on everything , they also pee in bottles and leave those behind , sometimes they even get drywalled into the walls leaving a terrible smell for a year or so after construction.
    Seen a bathtub with poop in it today , they even left a nice new roll or premium toilet paper , Incase someone else wants to use the tub?
    Even though there are portable John's a few feet away...

      The Xmoda It's just annoying as shit that more and more adults are swooning over a more simplified version of Magic. Not knocking older people who like Pokémon because I'm 24 and still love the video games, because they're good RPG's. But it just doesn't make sense. Support a good game that is tried and true to be amazing. Support Pokémon too, but for fucks sake, don't drop Magic for it.

    • @MrXmoda
      @MrXmoda 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @zeroconsequences
      @zeroconsequences 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Xmoda pokemon doesn't have the legs and is a fad as it was back in the late 90s. As r3ikobomb put it, the game is a way simplified version of magic and it has no investment status in original sets or any set moving forward. you need that economy, and a varying format system like magic's modern/legacy to stabilize a collector's market and keep people playing.

    And, the glass signing idea sounds like it'll look like ghetto graffiti before too long. I REALLY like the idea of the card frame border however. You could maybe even have different frames for MTG card frames, Pokémon card frames, or whatever. Just build the frames in pieces: 2 vert sides and 2 horiz top/bottom so you can swap in/out easily and store away with little space consumed.
