  As an Englishman, I feel it&apos;s my duty to inform you that the wifi at my local CEX is called &quot;unprotected CEX&quot;

  The CEX that said Computer Exchange was the first ever CEX. The man on the front was drawn by Charlie Brooker of Black Mirror fame when he worked there.

  Fun fact: the boba shop you visited on the first day used to be an independent import/retro game store called Game Focus. I used to work there about 15 years ago, but unfortunately it shut mainly due to rent being pretty ludicrous in central London.

  GAME had a hard fall from grace, they were everywhere, but a staggering amount of terrible corporate choices basically left them bankrupt. They got brought out by Sports Direct and now the live a withered life tucked away in the back corners of their sports direct shops =(<br>What&apos;s worse is, there was another awesome game shop called Gamestation, GAME brought them, converted them all and wound up destroying them too =(

  That Mario poster was signed by Charles Martinet. I’ve seen him incorporate that Mario face in his autograph before

  Sadly, the reason why GAME was so good when you visited is because they&apos;ve decided to stop selling physical games altogether. What you picked up was them desperately getting rid of their stock of actual games to make space for funko pops and Pokemon plushies

  Just a bit of context, a few years ago Game was bought by British businessman Mike Ashley. He owns a company called Fraser group, as a result there is a load of stores that has sports direct, flannels ( for rich people), Frasers, and game
