It has been over 2 years (http://www.digitpress.com/images/store/index_35.htm) since James "The Angry Video Game Nerd" Rolfe has made a scheduled visit to the Digital Press store in Clifton, NJ but a new date is set and we're ready for a full day of anger, gaming, and nerdy-ness at the store! You are invited.
If you don't know who "The Angry Video Game Nerd" is, you've been hiding under a rock for the last 5 years. And I say this because I have pretty much been hiding under a rock for five years and yet here we are, hanging out together at the store. You can get caught up with his work at http://www.cinemassacre.com where you'll find a plethora of hilarious videogame and movie reviews.
James will be on hand from 3-8pm on Saturday, December 4th to sign autographs and compete with attendees on our fine selection of NES titles. At 6pm we will host a special "NES Jeopardy" game, a live game show where 3 smarty-pants gamers (one of whom will be James) will test their knowledge in a real-time replica of the popular television show.
Mark your calendars. We'll see you there!
When: Saturday, December 4th, 3pm to 8pm.
Where: Digital Press Videogames: http://tinyurl.com/yscakm

Will this disrupt the normal NAVA schedule, or will the November/December events occur as usual?

NAVA will be held the Saturday prior (last Saturday in November). I'm just spacing the announcements out a little bit.
Incidentally the November NAVA is also the store's 5 year anniversary. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY.

99% chance I'm not off for November's NAVA. But the Saturday after is a good possibility!

Funny, I was just thinking about that a few days ago. I also thought to myself that there is NO WAY I'll miss it.
Congrats on a fantastic 5 years.

I'm a definite lock for this event. My friend MIGHT go. If he does, he will have a whole SLEW of Game Boy Advance titles. All in box, some are hard to find ones.

Can only hope similar shinanigans will happen.
I've met Doug (nostalgia critic)--he and his bro (Rob) are cool guys.

I saw your video of AVGN going against Cptn S and a DP guy in that show. It was very cool

I heard the DP guy was pretty drunk. In fact, I heard he was drinking during the competition.

I would be absolutely shocked if he wasn't. I also heard he's pretty good at Mutant League Hockey.
Edit: Oh god it's been years since I posted on here. I need to change up my avatar and sig and all that stuff.

I wish I could come to this... Too bad I'm across the continent. It is my dream to visit Digital Press someday.

Excited to say that I got my copy of Metal Gear signed by him today at Digital Press! Three hours in line! Unlike him, I loved the game though :-P
I also got him and Mike Matei to sign a promo card of my very own retro video game for Mac called "El Ballo (http://www.prorattafactor.com/news/angry-video-game-nerd-signs-el-ballo-promo-card/)."

Not only did I miss NAVA, I missed this event as well.
I drove to the store and got there at 5:30pm, to see the line out the door, arround the nail salon, past the parking lot, down to the corner and arround the other corner. I knew the guy was popular, but no way man, too cold!!
I took my beer and went home!
Next time, sell tickets! I had an easier time when I saw Wierd Al in concert and got his autograph.....

Penitence is something that enervates our spirit, causing a greater loss than loss itself and making a bigger mistake than mistake itself, so never regret.
