DP's "Brick and Mortar"

Photos from the "Digital Press Videogames" store at 387 Piaget Ave in Clifton, NJ.

This is a somewhat chronological photo journal taken at the store on October 25th, 2008 at the monthly NAVA meeting. This was also "Night of One Hundred Prizes" where the store gave away tons of videogame swag. See below the photos for past galleries of the store and its setup. Click any photo below for a larger view.

This "Night of One Hundred Prizes" actually started pretty early in the day. Good thing, too, or we would never have gotten CLOSE to giving 100 things away. The obligatory "shot across the loot" as attendees line up their items for sale and trade across the floor. The now customary "home made baked goods" area only BEGINS with these autumnal cupcakes. Actually, four of these had little winner tags on the bottom of them. One of the many ways we devised to give stuff away.
Early in the day a Super NES was hooked up where Mario Kart go the bulk of the action. The other screen awaited Rock Band but was used to play through our downloaded XBox Live Arcade games. Pac-Man CE never disappoints. Trivia questions were issued at random. Guess correct, you win another prize.
As we were so near to Halloween, we also gave prizes to anyone in costume. You'll see a few really interesting ones here. A Domo-kun cake, RAWR!
Whoever made these, I didn't thank you. Please let me know! Great job. VIDEO: The NAVA crowd gathers around Rock Band and Super Mario World  
  This cupcake, apparently reserved by one of our staff members, sat on the countertop until it was teeming with enough bacteria to be REALLY scary. And yet, it did eventually get eaten. Jesus H. Christ. And Frankie.
This was the NAVA introduction of Rock Band 2. And with Guitar Heroes World Tour just out, it looks like there will be more rockin' out in future NAVAs.    
  If I have to tell you what Steve "NoahsMyBro" Jacobs is dressed up as here, you're too young to care anyway.
Who knew that one of Super Mario's Bros was Indiana Jones?   VIDEO: Mike and Chris bounce to Devo's "Uncontrollable Urge" while a dark stranger watches from the background.
  Maryah came as a vampire. They have to blend in with the humans for it to really work but look at the biting and the eyes. YIPES. Chelsea came as a character from Persona 3.
Mike came as "A really good employee of Digital Press", complete with beer-cup accessory. Costume with the tastiest brain? That's Scott "stonic" Stilphen.
    That is one creepy costume, man.
  At 6:30 I read off videogame related Haikus that were submitted throughout the course of the day by NAVA attendees. The crowd (about 35 people at that time) judged. There were about ten winners - some really clever stuff!
