  1. I actually used to work with Ben when he lived in Atlanta. I can safely say that almost ALL of this is stemmed from the nightmare customers we used to have at our previous retail jobs. We dealt with the worst of the worst, especially coming in to get our expert knowledge on men's footwear and then running home to Zappos to save $15, thus taking money out of our pockets. 

     

    He's a character but I can tell you that this is Ben 100%, he's a fucking weirdo but he'd be that way whether the camera was rolling or not. He always talked about opening a shop and I am super stoked that he went out west and is knocking it out of the park. 

     

    But on the flip, I can't stand the RGT/Made in USA fan boys that flock to his shop. I can't blame him for catering to them, because it seems they will buy whatever he says is cool. But jesus christ, they all dress the same. We have a store similar in Atlanta and while I want to support them, it's very obvious they just found out about denim within the past year.

    Which store, Chrome Yellow?

  2. I had no idea there even were Rogue Territory fanboys, or that they all wear the same thing (well, any more than the guys on here do?) But I don't use Instagram at all, or read anything on that awful MFA reddit forum, ugh.

     

    I got a Fair Isle sweater, scarf and plan gray zip-up hoodie from JCrew, a gray pair of PF Flyers hi-tops, a bunch of books, and from my girlfriend and her family, some Legos, phone accessories, and guitar maintenance stuff!

    Ha, sounds like my Christmas - but I'm swapping out the PF flyers for the USA ones, all the books were comics, and the J Crew stuff was a few Wallace and Barnes flannels. Missed the Legos this year :'(

  3. Similar to Vanishing of Ethan Carter?

    It's a "walking simulator". Other similar titles:

    Firewatch

    Adr1ft

    Tacoma

    Everybody's Gone to the Rapture

    Journey

    The Stanley Parable

    Dear Esther

    The Witness

    Some of these aren't out yet but some demo footage exists so you can explore the genre
