If you're in the South and can't make the Baltimore NARP this weekend don't let it get you down, just come on down to Miami next Friday! I'm happy to show you the floorplan of our Miami NARP held at Florida International University on November 21, 2008 from 8pm-12pm in the Rathskeller/Gracie's cavern of awesome.

Activities include a $200 Halo 3 tournament & Gears of War 2 (2x2) Tournament, Smash Brothers Brawl, and giving away both an Xbox 360 and a new 80GB PlayStation 3.  Other notable games playable on large projection screens will be Left 4 Dead, Megaman 9 (time trial mode), Street Fighter II on gigantor ArcadeStick controllers and the obligatory lit Rock Band stage area.  We're also feeding you and best of all ... Destructoid's programmer Tlack will be DJ'ing in scary rapist drag as the unshaven DJ Grrlpower ... and also ...

NO ADMISSION FEE. ZIP. IT'S ALL PAID FOR. JUST SHOW UP. ENJOY.

The event was made possible by our friends at SFX-360, GameWars, Rey's Gameday, Gamertag Radio, Epic Sugarworks, FIU's Anything Goes Anime and sponsored by Goozex - you guys rule! Special thanks to everyone at Epic Games: We'll also be giving away signed posters by the Gears of War 2 developers and limited edition "I came" Destructoid T-shirts (harr harr) to the first few dozen attendees. I did it for the group photo. 

Looks like a little McDestructoidCon, doesn't it? On a serious note, it's something I'm proud to bring to South Florida as we've been starved of cool gaming industry events for years.  I got sick of it and fixed it! Hope you can make it -- see you there!  Yatta!

I had no idea that the Miami NARP was going to be this huge!

God I wish I lived in Miami right now. ;(

Man, I have been advocating a DestructoCon since like two years ago; I'm sad that I won't be able to go to this.

Omg this looks amazing. There needs to be a full fledged Destructoid con. Also, I wish we could get stuff like this in NY.

Yo, is the Smash Bro.s Tourney have a fee to enter? I know the door doesn't, what about the tourneys?

Are people really willing to give away $200 x.x?

Hmm... drive four hours down for four hour party and then drive until four in the morning back home after an 8 hour workday.

Not going to happen.

Damnit. Can we do something in Central Florida next time?

Wow, too bad nothing ever happens around here. I love the Midwest, but it seems like nothing ever goes down in central Illinois. I am at college though, so it's not such a big deal.

Why can't Miami be at the top of the state instead of the bottom? Can we move the whole city up there? That would be great.
