SW MO NARP and my new computer
crackity jones | 11:11 PM on 03.29.2009 13 comments



The evening started off with a simple enough question. “What exactly is a NARP?”. As we all know NARP stands for No Apparent Reason Party, but how many people do you need to qualify or a party? Well we ended up deciding 3 was enough people for a party, and thats how the very first South West Missouri Dtoid NARP started. It was a little after 11 when Brecksher showed up. After some careful consideration I decided to let him in my home. We still had one more joining us so we didn't wanna get too crazy yet, so we jumped into a game of Left 4 Dead. Not too long after that Jackal called me and it turned out he was as directions retarded as I am. So we ventured out and found him and showed him the way.

Once we were all finally back in my house and situated we decided to get down to business and ended up talking about video games for a while. Then it was time for some bullet hell. We popped in Metal Slug Anthology and started up the first Metal Slug on hard. We played all the way to the end on that one and decided to move on. Some how, I don't remember how but we ended up talking about Gurren Lagann. Brecksher and myself had never really seen it and Jackal insisted that we needed to so we took a gaming break and watched the first episode. I gotta say, that anime is pretty awesome! I haven't watched a good anime in a while (last one I watched all the way through was either Witchblade or Speed Grapher … I forget which) but this one just had something about it. I'll definatley be watching the rest of the series sometime in the near future.

The next logical step from here was obvious. Noby Noby Boy! Noby Noby Boy can only last so long though. I tried eating my own ass for a while and showed the guys how weird this game is. We then tried to play some GTA: Chinatown Wars multiplayer … however … Brecksher and I's NOT pirated copies couldn't seem to get wireless to work. From there we talked shop on some DS games and came to realize something, we all three play a ton of DS. So we have decided to start a DS podcast; speaking of which anyone have any idea for a name for it? Then finally we all raped the shit out of each other in Brawl. That was pretty fun, I love Brawl so much.

So overall I thought the first SW MO Dtoid NARP was a success. Theres lots of things I'd like to do differently next time but I had a lot of fun. Also this week I ordered a new PC. So if you guys could recommend some good PC games that I may have missed out on in the past that don't require a Internet connection to play that would be pretty cool. Here are the specs:

Processor: AMD Athlon X2 7750(2.7GHz) 64bit Dual core
4GB of RAM
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 4550 512MB PCI Express Video Card

It comes pre-installed with Vista Home Premium but I'm thinking I might just install XP instead.

And …... Done

Yeeeeaaaaah! This was awesome. We'll definitely have to do it again. I've been trying to think up names for the handheld gaming podcast... No luck... What about you guys?

Brecksher ... I remember beating you at least once or so ... remember Olimar?

I still can't think of a name either. Maybe like Porta-Cast, or Gaming on the Go, or Game N Go ... IDK
