    Default NAVA Gamer's Meeting, July 26th: "Weekend at Hardie's" NOW WITH PICS AND VIDEO

    NAVA = North Atlantic Videogame Afficionados. YOU are invited.

    Previously at NAVA...
    - "The Angry Video Game Nerd" made a special appearance.
    - PBC Productions attended in full force, with the entire cast of "Captain S", "Little Miss Gamer", and more.
    - "The Nostalgia Critic" drove all the way from Illinois to issue a challenge.
    - There was a slow motion brawl in the parking lot behind the store.
    - A live game show pitted various gaming forces against one another.
    - TWO game-related cakes were baked, displayed, and promptly eaten.
    - Pictures and video tell it best:

    There's really no way to follow up an event like last month's so soon, so we'll kick this event OLD SCHOOL. The July NAVA shall be the first in what we hope will be the LAST "John Hardie Memorial" NAVA. Some of you may remember John Hardie from past events. Atari guy. Friendly. Usually had a beer in hand. We haven't seen him since 2007. And if you DON'T know who he is, this is the time to find out. Scan some of the older photo galleries from the link above, because...

    SHOW a picture of John Hardie at the register on this day and you automatically receive a 10% discount on all used/pre-owned games, systems, and accessories. BRING John Hardie to the register with you and get 15% instead! Naturally we're not expecting a "Weekend at Bernie's" scenario here but who knows? If that's what it takes, fifteen percent is fifteen percent.

    At 6pm we'll do a Wii Mario Kart tourney. If you haven't played the game yet, what's wrong with you? And if you haven't MASTERED it yet... expect a world of pain come tourney time.

    SO... we're ready to go. The summer days go by fast, so start getting your trade boxes in order, photographs printed, and game face in condition. It's time for another NAVA.

    When: Saturday, July 26th, noon to midnight.
    Where: Digital Press Videogames: http://tinyurl.com/yscakm
    What happens: Gaming, trading, tournaments, big prizes! Attendance is FREE. Half price for kids!
    What can I bring?: Snacks, soda and beer are always appreciated. Cakes have been very popular as well.

    Mario Kart Wii? SWEET! This is gonna be a great NAVA and I can't wait to be hanging with my DP Buddies as always.

    So Joe, how will the MK Wii tourney work? will we be going against others? And do you have to use the Wii Wheel? I'm only good with the GC controller.
    Either way, I'll still play.

    Also, bring ANY photo of John Hardie to get a discount?

    EDIT: This may be the first NAVA I may be driving to! I have to do my road test (get my Permit basically) on Wednesday! Wish me luck ya'all!

    Ah Mario Kart, the only good one to do is the GBA version, no cheapness from the AI and the weapons, and entirely based on skill. However it should be fun none the less, also one of the games I did not play on the "store's" Wii so I guess someone/group of people will have to do the unlocking.

    ...Wait....... YOUR RIGHT! Mario Kart Wii on a such an Old School day? I say and OLDER Mario Kart, but either way it's still gonna be a blast meeting everyone again.

    I'm also suprised cause I think this is the first NAVA where I haven't e-mailed someone internet famous and told them to come down, I SHALL REMAIN STORE AMBASSADOR THOUGH!

    WOW. That almost sounds doubtful...

    The store has a number of games in session. Instead of "I thought we were..." why not ask "What's on the other..."

    Ask - or just show up - and you shall see an old school event like no other.

    It's because I was doubtful! Though now I am not, as it sounds like something good is in store. I'll hopefully be able to make it.

    If it's a "John Hardie Memorial" NAVA, then shouldn't the tournament be some Pokemon game?

    If he shows, make sure you snag his 2600 kidvid, it's his last one!

    Good luck. Please don't do this:



    My wife and I are coming, most likely with TheSmirk in tow. I haven't seen John in a long time, hopefully the store will be playing some Asia in his memory.

    Why do I have a feeling that the recent talks of 80's music and C64 SID sounds are going to come into play this NAVA?

    Unless something comes up, we should be there yet again. Hopefully we'll have some oldschool 2600 gaming action.

    80's music is always relevant, all the time.

    After a month of bringing absolutely ZERO swag, I've gone through my collection once or twice, mulled it all over, and I'll be bringing the following to NAVA this time around :

    One near-mint US copy of Christmas Nights Into Dreams with only MINIMAL wear on the top edge of the "happy holidays from Sega" sticker and a few very very minor impressions on the front cardboard. The disc is pristine.

    One Dark Purple GBA with a Halo Screen Light attached.
    Included are a blue carry case and a 128M Visoly GBA Flash Card (with a fat-top that will only fit in a GBA) the games on the card are : Super Mario Advance 2 (Mario World) (JAP), Super Mario Advance 1 (Super Mario 2) (US), Double Dragon Advance (US), and Texas Hold Em' (US) ...I no longer have the hardware or the means to flash the card so it's going with this GBA as a package deal.

    One ELink 1G GBA Flash Card (Complete) (see the details/specs in the link below) I absolutely couldn't get this to work on either of my comptuers ... but I think it's functional - just NOT with my computers. This one will be a bargain for sure, and if you're experienced with these probably worth it.

    http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.13363

    Elite Beat Agents DS (Complete)
    Cooking Mama DS (Complete)

    and probably some other neat stuff.

    PM me if you want me to hold any of the stuff for you.

    <3 Frankie

    Hopefully, something else will come up and a friend will offer me a ride, if anything I'll keep you updated.

    Like Frankie, I have begun to go throw my stuff. See the attached pictures and let me know if you are interested in some of following:

    Boxed Dreamcast Collection - system, just about every accessory and controller, 14 games

    Boxed Lynx Collection - 23 games, case, system, visor, battery pack

    Genesis Collection - including boxed nomad, mix of loose and boxed games some hightlights include Raiden Trad, Mega Bomberman,JM Sports Talk FB proto.

    Turbo Express Collection - Perfectly working express, no dead pixels or sound issues, 7 titles. Most are boxed and complete.

    Other things that I may be adding pictures for later include a Boxed Jaguar system with extra boxed controller, composite cable, and 18 titles including Tempest, Raiden, Doom, and Wolfenstein. A boxed 2600 with assorted boxed games, and accessories. Numerous 2600's just about every version (heavy, light, Vadar, Jr, etc.). Various boxed NES games. Maybe even my supergun.

    The photos are more descriptive then I can be, if you have questions shoot me a PM and I can send the higher res pictures. Since I have so much stuff I want to thin out, chances are I am only going to bring items people have expressed an interest in and I am looking for cash, no trades at this time. Preference will also be given to those who want to buy entire lots. Prices will be added once I sort through everything.

    I'll be sad if nobody takes advantage of that great LYNX collection!

    Next to PSP, LYNX is easily my second favorite handheld system of all time!
