    Feel free to comment - I might add that I really don't do sugar but was compelled to try that NES cake. This morning I have a sugar hangover!

    Wowee, what a cake! That thing looks awesome! The only problem is, after eating it everyone was blinking ...

    Brings me to asking the question yet again:

    Why is it that I'm NO WHERE NEAR NEW JERSEY!?

    That looks fun. Too bad you're so far away.
    The world has moved on and left me behind. Therefore I choose to retreat into the past.

    Looked like a sweet night. Those comments under the pictures were hilarious.

    The tournament was great. We should do it more often, even if there isn't any special prize.

    That tournament was hilarious. I enjoyed it even though I suffered what was IMO the second most arbitrary elimination (the first was Hardie "losing" Entombed). It appears the best man won though.

    There is definitely a lot of luck involved in Maze Craze. I played some against Mike later in the day, and half of the time it was luck who decided who won or lost. And entombed was definitly a weird game; that block removal/addition thing was tough to figure out. I don't feel bad at all losing, because I know Mike is better.

    I don't think Maze Craze is as much about luck as others do. If the game is new to you perhaps, but seasoned players know that 3 robbers have to be studied before you start dashing toward the exit. Like the ghosts in Pac-Man, they have a very predictable pattern. It's all about hiding out, letting them pass by, then making a break for it.

    That tournament will definitely be a fixture at future NAVAs. I've already got ideas for new games to inject into it. For now though, "killersquirel" is house champ.

    I enjoyed the night there. The cake was great. I wanted more, but wanted someone else to try it, too. Who's birthday was it? Was it even a birthday cake? It was the most creative one I have seen. I hope the next NAVA will have another competition. Next time I will try to arrive 15 minutes earlier so that I could be in the competition.
