Do you want to expand your gaming collection to something other than Cards Against Humanity and Pokémon Go but don’t know how? Well, sweet friends, you’re welcome, because I have compiled a list of damn near every gaming store in town as well as organized them into categories of where certain games can be found and played. I originally thought this overview would be a breeze (I mean, how big can Denton’s gaming scene really be?) but the more research I did the more I realized that Denton is overflowing with incredible, nerdy gaming energy and I simply feel like it is my civic duty to give you all the 411 on how kickass Denton’s gaming scene really is.

Break is over and today is actually Spring Equinox. It is officially springtime in Denton, y'all if the high eighties temperatures didn't already inform ya.

In the pros column, though, it is also time for those colorful springtime photos.

BESTROOMS 2016
In previous years, we've looked at some of Denton's best and worst restrooms. As frequent urinators, we thought ourselves fairly adept to judge such a thing. It's been about a year and a half since then, and things have really changed in the Denton-potty scene. Some new restrooms have come into play and made themselves contenders right off the bat. Some of the worst restrooms of the past have jumped off the bench and proved themselves contenders once more. This year, we decided we'd focus on a few of the nicest new restrooms in Denton. Read on to find out what we think are restrooms worth of your peeing. Heck, maybe we'll even make a trophy and hand it out. Let's totally talk toilets...
