There was a great mix of popular titles and more niche ones, all at reasonable prices.

Worst part though was the truly useless customer service when I contacted them to find out where the heck my stuff was. Confrontational, blame shifting and unable to even muster an apology or read my emails properly. I've spent €1,000s here in the past but they won't be getting a penny more from me. I know their discount is tempting but there are other retailers with similar discounts and WAY better attitudes.

And of course, that has direct repercussions on our household life. It means many hours walking by Games Workshop and Dark Sphere to pick up things for his army. It means many hours helping him paint tanks and aliens. It means bookshelves in our cramped apartment devoted to paints, men with little guns, and armored aliens. It means all of this to me. But of course so much more to my husband. With my husband's discovery of Dark Sphere, it means that he can now complete his army and get 25% off. Not only does that make him happy, that makes me happy too! Because that 25% in savings usually means treating me out to a nicely deserved weekly dinner for being a very tolerant wifey! (You can save 20% when dropping their shop, or 25% by ordering online, OR you can even order online and then pick up in their shop!) P.S. They're currently moving to a less crowded location! More gamey nerdiness on its way!

It was our 7th and last night in London, and the other bars near us were showing the England Futbol game & was packed with tons of people. This was the only one that seemed calm, so we walked in. I was surprised at how nice it was inside: wooden bookcases with games. People at the tables actually playing board games! How cool was that. Unfortunately, we were there mainly to feed our 5.5 year old son & get something to eat ourselves, so we turned down the $9 fee per person to play games. I ordered Nachos Grande with pulled pork. The pork was great, and I think it would have been delicious in a sandwich. My husband ordered the Ribsteak double cheeseburger, which he liked. There was a kids' menu, and my kid had their cheeseburger, fries, and ice cream. Everything was devoured. For dessert, I asked for the Sticky Toffee Pudding, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The server was amazing; he gave us some kid friendly games to try "on the house." He took the time to explain how each game is played. I would probably never buy these games in the future, but it was fun trying them out!

There was no way to just order water when ordering other things (i had one beer and wanted to add it). The staff did bring some after asking but didn't offer to refill. The games themselves really need some love and care. All games were missing some piece or another and 2 out of the 3 games we played were missing instructions. One game had duplicate cards making it hard to complete rounds. We only came for the board game space to which we had to prepay so it was a little disappointing. This place has so many awesome things going for it so I hope the shop can take the time to give the board games the love they need.

I know I'm in Oddballs when my phone rings and I answer my wallet because I'm trying to concentrate on the store clerk moving back and forth on a unicycle while I'm trying Chinese yo-yos with one hand.

Oddballs, in addition to their unicycles and Chinese yo-yos have kites, juggling balls and skateboards both normal and excessively long. They even have off-road skateboards. It's a high-energy heaven, and kudos must be presented to the talented and capable staff members who are always on hand to show you how things work. Their job interviews must be amongst the most interesting this world will ever see.
