How disappointing the Snail is now
During a business trip into the city today, I took the liberty of hoofing it up to Silver Snail on Queen West while waiting for the next GO Train back to what The Law calls Not-Toronto. I learned two things.
One, I'm way too out of shape to be walking anywhere in the downtown core. I really need to get out more and get some exercise. Maybe there's a jogging group in Ajax or something. I think I'm the type that needs company when exercising. I need to get in shape and drop a couple of pounds off my love handles.
Two, the Snail licks donkey dick these days. For games, the Snail's selection sucks. They seem to have everything under the sun published by Wizards of the Coast these days, but if you want something else, forget it. The store had a bit of White Wolf's new World of Darkness stuff in stock and a few odds and ends here and there, but the gaming selection is getting smaller and smaller. It's being replaced by more action figures and a bigger anime section. Even the board game selection has gone to shit.

Yes, don't bother with the Snail. Unless you really really need a 14" high sculpted bust of "The Hobgoblin". :P
Why didn't you go to the Hairy Tarantula? Closer to Union Station and a heck of a lot friendler.
Of course, if you've recently won the lottery, there is the best board game selection in TO right underneath the Royal York, in the basement. I forget the name of the place, but it's right across the street from the train station! Now the prices might make you faint, but no denying there's a lot there to see...
