I've never been to Boston before but I do know a few good game geek stores. There's gamestop, EB games, FYE video games, Toys R Us has a good stock, and also you can try checking out a few pawn shops in downtown, they always have a good stock of old and new video games. Well good luck finding a good geek store.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
