Meet The Angry Video Game Nerd at NAVA, June 28th (NOW WITH PHOTOS)

[Rob2600]

I posted photos from the June NAVA:

Flickr - Digital Press, Clifton, NJ 6/28/08


EDIT: As you can see, I got to take a picture with James (AVGN), which was great!

I also like some of the artwork featured throughout the store. Joe, where did you get the Atari stuff hanging from the ceiling near the entrance?

Thanks for sharing your photos!

I've had those forever. I'm pretty sure I got them in a Woolworth circa 1984. Most of them still have the price stickers on them! I had them laid out flat in a box for years and thought that spot in the front of the store was PERFECT for hanging 'em. I think they look great.

You're welcome. Thanks for putting the event together!

Some people go to your store for the games, but I go for the art. I've always loved the old Atari 2600 paintings.

Not much to look at, I was going to take lots and lots of pictures this month but I was having too much of a damn good time with the Nerd, PBC, and DP members.

Pics with John Hardie, or it didn't happen.

Thank you to Joe for the event and the chance to say hello to the AVGN. Unfortunately we had to leave right after that.

[HarroSIN]

For my first time visiting DP, and my first NAVA, I have to say it was pretty cool. I didn't expect that the crowd was going to be so large (judging from the previous NAVA pictures, it looked like 2 to 3 times as many people showed up)!

Pictures NOW! Videos...later!

NAVA was awesome, I'm definitely going to next month's session again.

Exactly when did the nostalgic critic come to the event, because I left right around when the nerd went behind the counter to sign some autographs. I knew I should have stayed but my friend had to go to a party.

*kicks myself in the back of the head*

At least I got my autograph and photo of the nerd though, and got my Friday The 13th for 99 cents.

I'll be posting a blog post about my time at NAVA once again, it's going to be pretty amazing.

EDIT: What image code does MySpace Blog's take? I've been trying to put pictures in it and it won't show up on HTML or IMG!

The event was ace and there was a great vibe at the store. This being my second NAVA I was pleased to find that nothing was stolen from the box this time! Thanks are in order to Joe who recommended a bear trap as a security measure for the event

Can't wait to see the Triple Bypass Mac 'N Cheese at the next event.

Good job on the video. Mike (the guy in the yellow shirt) was clearly buzzed ("It's all about the Nerd!") but the little bits of interview you got on the side are great. Plus, the video of the road heading towards the store might help people find it. I get a call almost every day "I can't find your place" because the address says Piaget Ave but the building is really right on Route 46.

He stormed in about an hour after James.

Here is the "official" battle video from the Critic himself.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. I showed up late due to personal things during the day, but I was at least able to get some interesting discussions with James and some store footage. I had my GPS with me, so finding the place wasn't too complicated. You're more than welcome to use the video for people to find the place (I can cut it up for you if you'd like).

SO TRUE I passed the place so many times and ended up on route 21 making u-turns back on to 46.

yea i've done that before for the first 3 months I went down there. If you see a white castle then you passed it. good motto.

[digitalpress]

Good thing you are where you are... the guy in the black shirt four guys to your left is LEANING ON MY FIREBIRD. That wasn't part of the deal. Heads will roll!

[Sin Cargo]

I'm glad I was there to get between them, and confuse the whole internet as to who the short guy with the blue coat was trying to fight the Nerd and the Critic.

Seriously, though, this NAVA was the best one yet. Thanks to Joe and the DP staff for a smooth event. My biggest hope is that all of those people who came to see James will now come back to Digital Press and NAVA again, regardless of whether or not he's there.

Hell yeah, it made it alot more epic. What I'm wondering though is when James and the NC planned it out were you originally supposed to be in the fight? or it just happened that day, it caused confusion to many but it was still awesome.

EDIT: My blog about the event is now up! The only thing I didn't know is what image code MySpace blog's take, if someone can fill me in on what code it is it would be greatly appreciated

James told me about Doug coming a few weeks back, and asked if I wanted to be involved, since the event was technically for ScrewAttack, PBC, and DP.

EDIT: I also forgot to thank Frankie and Lis for both their amazing cake in honor of the Starcade, as well as their hilarious TV commercial. The height of class, my friends.

You're very welcome!

The cake ... was not ... a lie. (But the fondant might have been a bit thick.)
