It’s a Friday Night Round-up – brought to you by Rich at Games Plus.
It hasn’t been a huge release week, but at some point there is a bit of slow that happens…

As a note to those coming by the store in the next week or two. Don’t forget that you can park in the lot behind the building (but not in the spots specifically allocated to Prospect Place) and all the way down Prospect Ave to Central. The city is doing work on curbs and (maybe) pipes so there are areas of no parking dotting the neighborhood in our area.
