Real life's a bugger...

 A conclusion that the author has reached after spending years doing his best to avoid it at all costs.

 One of the milions of boys (and sometimes the others who smell better and have interesting curves) who spent the 80's playing games with model soldiers or pretending to be a mighty warrior, the author takes the reader on a journey of almost three decades from his first forays into gaming to (supposedly) making a living as a games store owner in the 90's.

 This is the story of a decidedly abnormal son of a decidedly normal Northern, working class family.

 Skip hand in hand with the author along the yellow brick road of youth and into the red brick wall of adulthood! Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always unrepetantly entertaining.
