Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Like I always say, while hipsters are stupid, they are generally non-threatening.

hey what's up guys, i'm kinda new, but if it's cool I might try to see if I can tag along, beer and videogames is a tough combination to beat, and it would be cool to meet some of the people on racketboy, i met up with saturnfan briefly for a trade. I live in Sparta, NJ (no we don't all walk around making 300 references) but it's pretty easy for me to get into the city. Heard that 8-bit place is out of this world.

Let me know.

Peace

Definitely stop on by! The more the merrier, and welcome to Racketboy! You've been on here longer than I have, so that should say something! :lol:

Okay, at this point since we have a date established, we should have at least a tentative meetup place/time or even a couple, like Barcade sounds like a good place to be later on in the day maybe a specific time there, etc. I don't know the city as well as you guys who live there but I think this is a good idea especially for those of us who are from out of town and have to plan the trip ;-)

How early do people want to get up and stay out? Here's a suggested schedule, but I live here, so I'm malleable on when we want to meet up:

Nintendo World Store: noon
8 Bit and Up/Video Games New York: 1:30pm
Barcade: 3/4pm
Console gaming: 6pm

Should we go earlier, later? I know people still might have places to be, things to do on the following morning, so really it's up to you all. :D

Will there be overnight accommodations? Always important when booze is involved.

We have modest accommodations - a futon, a sleeping bag, decent spacing.

I have a Saturn multi-tap if people have controllers.
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.
