NAVA Gamer's Meeting, July 25th: "Save Joe" [NOW WITH PHOTOS]
NAVA = North Atlantic Videogame Aficionados. It's FREE, and YOU are invited to attend.
Previously at NAVA...
- Donkey Kong was turned into a cake and swiftly devoured. Mario never thought of that.
- A NAVA rookie was a single championship point away from swiping the event's most sacred crown.
- Laserdisc games were played (via DAPHNE emulation) all day. And Daphne is still hotter than Kimberly.
- Random customers were killed and burned to death.
- Many games and systems traded hands between attendees (haven't seen an X'Eye in the store for awhile).
- Pictures and video tell it best:

This time 'round, we're going to take advantage of the Super 8/PowerPak combination, which lets us play virtually any NES, Famicom, and Famicom Disk System game there is. Plus we can sneak in some SNES gaming without missing a beat. Also, love it or leave it, Rock Band is a favorite with us. We haven't had the set out since the December NAVA and with all the new content it's just time to bust it out again. Practice your basic skills for the 6pm tournament. Sign up for the very cheap-to-join tourney at 5pm... here comes the "Save Joe" bit.
Tournament: At 6pm we'll start a 5-set Rock Band 2 tournament. In this tourney, your humble host Joe will front a band of four (for Rock Band n00bs: drummer, lead guitar, bass guitar) in EXPERT mode. The band that scores the highest point total wins the tourney. So that's 5 songs, 15 different players, 3 winners (Joe doesn't count). The winning prize will include a box of random gaming memorabilia: t-shirts, posters, pins, pre-order exclusives, that sort of thing. You'll like it, and there's at least one item in each winners' pack that many store members have asked to buy but were denied. This is why! OH, one note - JOE'S SINGING SUCKS. So you're gonna have to carry him, that's part of the challenge. Good luck with THAT. You're gonna have to "Save Joe" or die trying.
Prepare for an afternoon of intense gaming and trading, and a night of caterwauling (go ahead, look it up)... it's NAVA time.
When: July 25th, noon to midnight.
