NAVA Gamers Meeting, May 31st (NOW WITH PHOTOS)

[digitalpress]

Previously at NAVA...
- An Intellivision sat side-by-side with an XBox 360. For about an hour the Intellivision got more attention.
- A Gold Nintendo World Championship cartridge was sold from one attendee to another. Price: $12,000.
- The band blasted Ballroom Blitz. Babies bawled.
- Mario Bros were replaced by Space Fury Bros and a tournament ensued.
- Captain S and Little Miss Gamer from PBC Productions made guest appearances.
- Shelley Duvall's "It's a Bird's Life" was picked up and considered.

It just goes to show that ANYTHING can happen at a NAVA meeting. Pics or it didn't happen? Here you go:

May has an extra Saturday so don't get the dates confused! This is the weekend AFTER Memorial Day.

Digital Press, Screwattack and PBC Productions continue to bond, which is bringing more new faces into the mix. More new faces means more goodies to trade, more gamers to mingle with, more competition on hand. It's all good.

Here we go / Here we go / Here we go again. The more the merrier, so be a part of it!

When: Saturday, May 31st, noon to midnight.
Where: Digital Press Videogames: http://tinyurl.com/yscakm
What happens: Gaming, trading, tournaments, big prizes!
What can I bring: Snacks, soda and beer are always appreciated.

Sweet can't wait, I did a plug about the event over a noob toob so that we might get another site to mingle in with what we got. The good news is that I might be done school by then and actually *gasp* have a job so I can buy something!

Awesome, totally looking forward to this month's after I missed last month's. Can't wait to see all my Digital Press buddies

I'm am uber excited about this month's NAVA meeting like I was with previous ones. I am bringing my 10 year old Sony Handycam camcorder this month so I can record stuff and post it online as soon as possible [I just got some blank tapes for it and am I am in the process of getting a new battery for it]. I am going to get some food for the event probably an hour or so before the tournament starts. Additionally once I get a Game Boy Player for my Gamecube I may finally have the means to directly capture my Game Boy Camera pictures and post them with better quality [I will likely repost last month's pictures as a test to see how they turn out. I will make another post in this thread once I do so]. Can't wait to see everyone at the meeting!

I won't be attending the May NAVA. That's the weekend I'm going up to New Hampshire to visit Ralph Baer and Funspot.

I assume you'll be working on your next book while up there?

It is time once again for The Journey.

Great news everyone! I finally found a way to get 'direct' Game Boy Camera pictures [direct meaning directly off the console I am playing the Game Boy Camera on, not directly off the Game Boy itself] . Long story short I just had to use a Game Boy Player with my Gamecube in oppose to my Super Game Boy on my Super NES since the latter outputs incompatible RF singals that my video capture device cannot read. I posted the newer versions of the same April NAVA pictures in the same set with the older ones at http://www.flickr.com/photos/1273340...7604759385146/

The quality seems a little on the low side so I may need to find a better video player program than VLC player that can take bigger high quality screenshots. For those who are curious I posted the original movie I took the screenshots from on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynNzvJfzdDQ

I'll also be up at FunSpot, I've had the room reserved for a while now. Ralph's going to be there again this year? Cool. Never thought I'd get to meet him three times. He's a really nice guy in person. Last year I got my Simon autographed by him, since I got the book at the last Philly Classic.

We WILL make it in June. I got a lot of stuff I need to pick up for my new Saturn. So have a good one this month guys.

We're going to stop at Ralph's house on the way to Funspot. I don't know if he's going to take the ride with us. It's up to him.

I have a gaming friend visiting NYC this month who's interested in checking your shop out...maybe I'll let them know that there's a NAVA meet going on that day :P

[Dastardly Dylan]

Well, I have told some more friend's about the store, so that's about 4 newcomers to NAVA. Complete and total awesomeness

[Vectorman0]

I'm hoping to make it, especially since Sniderman is making the trek.

[Apollo]

Should be there as usual, providing I have gas.

Also, I'll be bringing a bunch of NES cart cases, both blue and clear plastic ones in addition to the black plastic sleeves.

[Sniderman]

I'm hoping to make it, especially since Sniderman is making the trek.

Thanks for that! However, something has surfaced that may keep me away this month. I'll know next week if the schedule works out.

[Vectorman0]

Does anyone want to buy/trade for an Xbox 360 Rock Band bundle? I'm sure I could work something out if someone was interested.

[Apollo]

Well, as long as I have gas on Saturday, i should be there. I'm especially looking forward to meeting Vectorman and Sniderman, so it should turn out to be a pretty awesome NAVA.

Hope to see you all there!
