FuncoLand

There's some other things that I was...

I mentioned this on my Funkoland episode, but one of the things that I remember very vividly about Grand Theft Auto 3 specifically was I was working at Funkoland when it was popular, like when it had been out for a little while by the time I started working there.

And what I mentioned in that episode, and I'm pretty sure this is very accurate Every single shift I worked, I sold at least a couple copies of that

game.

Is that-

Yeah, the back always seemed to be, like, the import stuff and the, like, the non-GameStop, Funcoland, like, other-

Yeah

... like, local here, here are the, like, the, the price guides and all that kind of stuff.

I remember going to somebody's house and, like, being in their basement for like three hours and playing Crash Team Racing, and that was kind of it.

Um, but when I got the PS2, I started going to, there was a place by us called Funcoland.

Yeah.

Uh, and I, I went to Funcoland, and I would, like, root around in the bargain bin for PS1 games to see, like, what kind of stuff I had missed out on, and a lot of it was horrible.

Like, a lot of this-

[laughs]

And I said, well, what the hell is the point of my pre-order if we're sold out of it? They're like, yeah, we're also teenagers, so we don't really know what we're doing.

So tail between my legs, I walk out and I'm telling my mom, hey, look, they don't have it, but Funkoland is literally a four minute drive.

Let's go to Funkoland.

Let's get this game.

She drives me down there and they're like, oh yeah, it's a great game.
