[ClubNinja]

COVERAGE!!!!

http://www.gis.net/~bertulli/02Nov03a.htm


Ok, boys and girls, it's that warm and fuzzy time of the year again - fall NECG. That's right. Sunday, November 2nd, tenatively scheduled to run from 2 to 7pm (since we all have to get to bed early for work the next morning!)

Here's the deal: you need to be there. No one is turned away, even Property of H for goodness sake. So just show up.

We'll be featuring the usual trading, gaming, chatting, beer drinking, and a whole lot more. In fact, let's run down some special features of this meet:

- Warlords Tournament! (that Christian will lose, as per usual)
- Demo of Kirk Israel's JoustPong homebrew!
- One or two copies of our special rereleased 2600 game may be floating around seeking new homes (you know which one!)
- Sam Adams Octoberfest beer (deeeeeelicious!)
- More games for trade (and even sale) than one could ever expect to arrange in Christian's game room
- Christian's game room
- Um, more stuff!

So yeah, no excuses this time. We'll be pushing the meet more, complete with driving directions and other such information as the day approaches. Sunday, November 2nd. Be there. Yes, you.

Sound like quitting time to me

[christianscott27]

call in sick to work, tell them you have pac man fever!


we need to restage this picture now that clubninja can actually drink beer, to think i've never been able to unload the other 5 bottles of o'douls.

[Keir]

I'm there.

In fact, I'm already there. Don't look out your window Chris! Mwahahah!

[chadtower]

I will be there.

Yes, Christian and I will be in the same room!

[AB Positive]

I already took the sunday off the week before for my friend's holloween party (who moved to maine now so I only see her when I go to this party), and I can't take two in a row. I'm a keyholder at a strip store Gamestop, and there's just one part timer besides the management staff there.

[chadtower]

Are you the gatekeeper? I am the keymaster.

Yeah, I'd be much more willing to take that road trip on a Saturday. Rats!

[christianscott27]

now its about who cant and can make it but when its over and you see the pictures and finds it'll be about who had a great time and got what, and sadly who couldnt make it and who missed out.

dont hate yourself later, three afternoons a year, thats all we ask and in return you get more games then you'll find anywhere else, not to mention free beer and canine leg humping action!

seriously people, digital press folks fine as you may be have been getting out attended 3 to 1 by atari agers, show up and represent!

Sunday?? What happened to the usual Saturdays? This sets up the ultimate battle: NFL Football vs Retrogaming I think Football may win -unless the Pats are off that week?

[christianscott27]

not to worry about the game, with as many TVs as i have around i'm sure you can have your cake and eat it too. you're already assured of a room full of guys, chips and beer...throw in the game and you're there.

[toddst]

As usual, I will be there. Damn, now I am going to have to remember to go to the beer store on Saturday so I can bring over some tasty Schlitz. Damn Massachusetts laws of no buying beer on Sunday.

the last time todd showed up without beer things got ugly real fast


little known trivia, todd will trade video games for beer. thats how i got a vectrex and a GBA off of him

[ClubNinja]

Mike/other football fans - good news for you! The Patriots have the Monday night game against Denver that week, so no game on Sunday. I think your decision has been made

(begins practicing his Warlords. Considers spotting ClubNinja four games in a first to five series to be sporting like last year)

Cool, so that's that much less traffic I have to deal with that day. It's a bitch getting around my town on game days.

So do we bring our own beer or will there be beer there? Both have been implied.

[christianscott27]

bring beer, lots of beer, more than you can possibly drink, preferably good stuff, bottles not cans, i like lagers, pilsners...remember the more beer i drink the better the deals i agree to!

also feel free to bring chips or what not, no more of those generic label cheese puffs please, i still have some leftover

free beer to anyone who shows up in costume as their favorite game character!

[chadtower]

Cool, I will come as Lara Croft.

Dude that pic should be in one our caption contests!

[SoulBlazer]

Just thought I would say I'll be there this time. I got sick last time but Chad has very nicly offered to drive me up there if I just go the short distance to his house and buy beer on the way.

And I seriously think I may bring a complete (with games) 3DO and Sega CD system with me to sell or trade.....

[klimatron8]

**drooling over the 3DO** No Pats=I'm in! like I always say: prior planning prevents poor performance. BTW - If anyone has any ngpc games they will part with please bring'em along. For instance maybe you splurged for the $80 ngpc package at EB, but now you want to dump the NeoTurf Masters game- i'm your man.

[ClubNinja]

If anyone has any ngpc games they will part with please bring'em along.

Agreed - because this Neo/SNK fiend wants to scoop 'em all up

Oh, and Kevin, you'll need all the practice you can get in, son. May the trash-talk begin!

[SoulBlazer]

Yeah, well, I'm not getting much play on either of those systems right now....maybe someone will make a good offer or I can trade for something else I actually WILL play.

At the least I can show them off -- those are the only retro game systems I have left.

Assuming Chad has any space in his car, that is.....

[chadtower]

Actually, guys, a 3do is high on my wantlist... so even if they make it to my house... they may not make it any further than that!

I've got quite a bit of tradebait I plan on bringing. I still have some testing to do, but I should have multiple boxed Odyssey2s as well as multiple boxed ti99s, possibly a Saturn and multiple n64s and NES to go along with quite a few games. I need some space in my basement!
