Miami's second NARP was more epic than the first! Plenty of pictures.
SakuChan | 10:02 AM on 05.17.2009 30 comments




Only 6 months after the first one, Miami decides to have yet another epic NARP! There were a couple of new things this time around, including the special guest Carlos Ferro! After being there from 12pm to almost 1am, it was a pretty tiring day between the setting up and the actual event itself. But I must say that having it more organized this time made it more enjoyable.



The layout was different this time and made it easier for people to walk by. This is a view from the "chilling out" area that Game Wars was set up at the last NARP.



The table near the "chilling out" area had free game play of Street Fighter IV and Left 4 Dead. I was all over that Left 4 Dead until I felt that playing Versus mode was way too long.


The awesome set up by GameWars! They were running the Halo 3 and Gears of War 2 tournament. Once again, the tournament ran really late and we had to just eventually kick them off because el beijo janitor was "threatening" us about calling the police.



Infinite Bits practically took over this room with their awesome kiosks. The Smash and Tatsunoko vs Capcom tournament were in this room, along with Glitch Gear.







Epic Sugarworks was there once again with their delicious chocolate pops! This time, they also made some delicious red velvet cake. That shit was like sex in my mouth. They were really helpful with selling pizza and drinks to everyone.



SFX 360 were on a roll with all the free goodies they were giving away. I know I saw T-shirts, Halo and Guitar Hero goodies, and free systems being given away. I know there was a lot more because people were constantly around them, looking like this:



Cute little monkeys.



They also got help from Carlos to give away the XB360.



The Street Fighter IV tournament was in a corner of the room near the Game Wars area. This crowd didn't really seem to ever move so there was always a great amount of people watching. This tournament also ran pretty late when the janitor was whining about us.

And of course I have to share some pictures I took with my friends.



The lovely lady who gave me the wonderful job over at Tomopop, Colette! She is my girlfriend. :]



Mr. Destructoid himself. I also heart him lots!



Awesome times with awesome people. Notice the Prinny and Mr. Saturn hat. BOING!



And Destructoid user TDiddy. He mentioned I should post this picture of us. Are you trying to show me off, you pervert? :P Come back to Miami soon!

Last but not least, because this guy was extremely amusing, was the guy who sang TIMMEH!! I later found out he and his friend were also Destructoid users. They never found out who they were so come out and let us know who you 2 are! Sorry for the crappy quality -- it's actually a screencap from a video I took of him. I don't have time to upload it or whatever.



Thanks to everyone for attending the NARP!

 about me



Alias: Saku
Age: Twenty-Three
Location: Florida
Twitter: TalesOfSaku

I've been a gamer almost my whole life. I'm not your average girl who grew up with Barbie's and whanot (though, I admit I still played them -- I enjoyed my brother's GI Joes more, hahaha. Boy toys are just better! .. wait, that didn't sound right.) Having an older brother, it was easier to get games and enjoy them more. The NES was my first love along with Sega right after. I miss Sega systems. : (

Systems I own:
Nintendo
Super Nintendo
Gameboy (aka "The Brick")
Gameboy color
GBA SP
Nintendo DS
Nintendo Wii
Sega Saturn
Sega Dreamcast
(Insert Sega Genesis that was broken by my mom's Godchild. ;_;)
Playstation 1 (both old and new version)
Playstation 2 (US and Japanese)
PSP (Have 2, actually. Gave my brother my blue one when I got the FF7 Crisis Core one)
Xbox 360
(Insert PS3 sometime in the future)

You'll come to learn that I am a huge Tales of whore (and that I only bought a 360 for Vesperia). And I really love my RPGs. I'm not really big Xbox fan because of the extreme amount of FPS, though I don't hate them. But I never wanted to own it because most of their games are FPS. But the RPGs are coming so yay :D I love fighting games, and rhythm games, and do not like horror games at all.

Along with video games, also been into anime for as long as I can remember. I love cosplaying, collecting crap to clutter my room, wasting my brain cells on the internet, and being with my friends.

Feel free to contact me if you ever want to talk. I love to meet new people!
