Review Visit: December 22nd, 2013…read more Adventures here tend to be on the more nerdy side. Heroic Adventures, just like Slackers, is a frequent stop for my friends and I when we are visiting friends in Edwardsville. Just like Slackers, the price of things here tends to be on the 'higher' side of things. But with higher prices come a lot of cool things... They have board games, card games, collectible/trading card games, comics, graphic novels, figures, and the list goes on and on. Almost anyone who has the smallest sliver of geekiness in them will find something here they want to buy. One of my friends always drools over they figure section. I always browse the board games, DBZ stuff and Magic: the Gathering sections. We typically spend 30 minutes looking around before we finally leave and one of us bought something. It is a great companion store to Slackers.. Whereas Slackers is heavy on games, this place is heavy on everything else.

The staff is super knowledgeable and friendly and I love building a comic, manga and book library for my grandson to create memories and leave them behind with him once I'm gone.

The people working were talking really grossly about women the entire time while I (a woman) stood in front of them. My husband even joked that I should ask questions to see how often they looked at him to answer as the man. The other major issue was the bathroom. It has a sign warning of the "wrong ways to use the bathroom" and that using their bathroom was a privilege, not a right. But the bathroom itself had blood drips down the walls and on the floor, followed by not having toilet paper. Even washing my hands I felt like I wasn't actually getting cleaner. I will say that I asked someone for recommendations and they very obviously googled things before realizing they didn't carry any of the games he named. He then tried googling a bunch of random titles to see if they fit my interests, which I can just do myself. Great concept, not so great experience.

I've been here many times and this place is fantastic for older consoles and games. The guys are…read moresuper nice and cleaned my n64 'jungle green' for me when the reset button got stuck. The gentleman was professional and quick and resolved my issue. They also have popular RPG games, like Magic & Warhammer, etc if you're into that. I'll keep returning for the vintage games (& possibly some newer) that's for sure.

Review Visit: October 5th, 2013…read more Music. Movies. Games. Debt. Let me preface this by saying that I love what Slackers offers. They have a huge selection of video games and as a gamer, I love that. They also have a wide variety of stuff between movies, cds, anime, posters, figures, and whatever else you could be looking for. Now the negative aspect. What I do not like are their prices. I am thrifty, so when I am shopping used video game stores, one tends to get a general idea/feel for what things should be priced at. Slackers tends to price everything above Market Value. Whether they do it because it is a college town or because it is a bit of a nicer area... it seems to be working for them. I love swinging by when I visit my friends in the area, but I hardly ever purchase anything since I can find it for a lot cheaper where I live. Any who, they really do offer a large selection of everything. I love the fact that most of their SNES-era games have boxes on the shelves. Nostalgia kicks in looking at some old gaming boxes. The games don't come with the boxes, as they are store displays. But still cool to see! I will try and snap a few photos the next time I go and update this post with them. It's a great place to scratch almost any nerdy itch you have, but it does come with a premium price. If you are in the area and are looking for something a bit cheaper on the video game side of things., check out Grumpy Bob's Emporium a few miles away. If you need more of a geek fix (board games, figures, comics), you can pop over to Heroic Adventures. It is literally a 2 minute drive from Slackers.

This is a legit place with staff who know what they're talking about. Good prices, very organized, and clean. My recommendation is to make an afternoon of this sleepy strip mall and include a visit here.

Small small parking lot on a hill so probably best to come visit spring/summer. This place was jam packed with so much. The guy who checked us out educated us on these comics we saw of invincible characters on the covers but weren't in the comic at all. It was nice to see an array on invincible (I know, im obsessed). We were looking for some Kingsman comics but only found the one with the cast from the movie on it. We bought a comic and some cases for displaying. We'll probably visit every now and then just because it's so far from us.
