Ready to get your FEST ON?
DtoidBaltimoreDC | 1:00 PM on 10.02.2009 14 comments




Plans are pretty much finalized. If you haven't guessed it by now, we are taking our little NARP to THE GREAT convention known as MAGFest! It takes place in Alexandria, VA in January and gaming bliss happens there at a hotel so you are never far from the action. And to answer your question...

Yes, we have a suite!

Unfortunately, there is limited space in a suite (to sleep) and we just about got the first one full. That shouldn't stop you from coming since if there is another large group of people we can get an additional suite for twice the epic! Individual rooms are also available for the cheap though as well if you don't want to join the crazy overnight. But the rooms won't be avaliable forever!

There are also group rates for badges that the major of us will be getting into since discounts are pretty sweet! You could help out with your body count and get a good chunk off yours as well.

All other MAGFest questions can be answered at the official website. If you want to join us and be apart of our little meet up, send an email to Blindside Dork @ gmail . com, but remember spaces are evil.


PS: Sorry about the image, it was like 1am when I did it.

It is about that time, planning of the next EPIC DC/VA/MD NARP is underway. It'll be bigger and amazinger than before. So big, we are actually adapting it and undertaking something larger.

Keep your calendars clear for the fun times! Details will hopefully be popping up shortly.

Just a little more NARP recap! UPDATED w/Part 2!
DtoidBaltimoreDC | 2:08 PM on 05.06.2009 20 comments


Since there are no words to describe what went down as mentioned Monday, let's try some video! This is how a Bmore NARP throws down, as well as surrounded Bmore areas like Karaoke since bloodylip got some karaoke on.



To start things off, an important questionis asked...Is Jennifer Garner hot?




Time to discuss waffles!




Knives is a drinker, confirmed.




Superflossy has some candy she wants to give to you!




Knives and Chopsticks don't mix well together.




And the infamous Sexy Beach 3, Part 1



Sorry, you have to either find the game yourself or imagine what the content looks like. No naked people on YouTube!


Sexy Beach 3, Part 2 is here!




I think that about wraps things up here. If you missed out on this NARP, don't feel bad since I am sure there will be another one in the future. In the meantime...


We're gonna need a montage (montage)
Oh, it takes a montage (montage)

Baltimore NARP COMPLETE, also Topher Birthday!
DtoidBaltimoreDC | 4:28 PM on 05.04.2009 19 comments




Another weekend has come and past, but not just any weekend. This was an EPIC Baltimore NARP weekend! Where there was much gay time and way too much Street Fighter IV!

From trying to find Canadians at an airport to Settler's & Zombie board games, delicious Hito meat to 10 boxes of pizza that was never enough, ice cream cravings to Sexy Beach 3, and Moo's Ammo to some form of Street Fighter always being played, there was something for everyone to remember.

Unfortunately a lot of people remembered Aerox's beating them in that button masher, but something more special than someone actually beating JRo in SF4 happened. Topher had a birthday!



Once again sorry for the darkness, YouTube likes to take video turn them super dark even though they are fine in person.

Like that cake? I told you it wasn't a lie. And see how it was made in this in-depth look at Rockvillian in action.




He can sure make cake decorations fast!

And what kind of birthday celebration would it be without presents?




This is just a small taste of what happened saturday night. There's no way these measily words could come close to describing what happened but I am sure you will hear tales here and there.

Here's what's out there from this weekend's happenings so far:

Spectral had a blast! Also, Linux
Tubatic has bad cell phone pics but great memories!


Once again, thank you everyone for coming out and making this such a memorable weekend and for bringing a towel! The number 42 thanks you.

 about me

Where the toys are cool and the arcades gleam, that's where we'll be! Whether it is Hito's meat or Karaoke, that's where we'll be! With lightsabers to play and Papa John's to eat, that's where we'll be! Just tilt the screen or take a seat, cause this is where we be!

If you live in the area, join the BaltimoreDC Google Group! If you don't live near us, better luck next time. But check out our friends and see if there's a NARP happening near you soon!
