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.

I don't know how I feel about Nick bending over in front of me making that face. I'm even less sure how I feel about Matt thrusting with his eyes shut behind me. What happened!?!

ah Keener I totally forgot you're a Keen fan. we could have talked about Commander Keen for hours. I'm so staying longer next time.

oh and Danielle was really glad you kept up the social porchyness of the NARP for the more porch inclined ladies.

Why are US NARPS so much more grand and epic
UK ones (yes, that's a whole country) tend to only have about 6 of us there

And I just realized that I'm subconciously doing that Star Trek V thing with my fingers. EVEN MORE AWESOME

Awesome weekend!

i'm with Rock. if Keener said he had the commander Keen avatar, i would've known who you were right away and started a convo on the awesomeness of Commander Keen.

on that note, this NARP still means awesome. though I didn't keep up the "only black guy in a bmore NARP" bit. but who cares. shit was still awesome.

you also forgot about too much powerstone 2 and the fact I was kickin ass and takin names against most people in SFIV.
