Hey everybody. Today we have two new videos for you.
First is a video of me playing Stern's Family Guy pinball machine. (Poorly) The first time we shot the video it went too long and it wasn't able to be posted on any of the video sites, so now that I played a REALLY bad game, we're finally able to show off the machine.
Family Guy from Stern
The next video is another interview from NAVA. This time it's Dan from Life in a Game. If you haven't seen the show yet, then you owe it to yourself to check it out! You can view it over at Screw Attack, Life In A Game
Interview with Dan
The Otakon comic is going to be up for another week. We wanted to give it a little more exposure so people can check the comic out and hopefully vote on it for their webcomic contest. We've also been really busy working on the new print comic for Game Trader and we're also at work on the new "10 MORE Games You Should Have Played" panel for Otakon
The panel this year will be taking place on Friday night from 12-1am in Panel Room 1. 2600 and I will be there to show off ten more of our favorite under appreciated games. I also hear the guys from PBC-Productions will be there as well. What their up to is a mystery so we'll find out soon what they have.
Don't forget this Saturday yet again is another NAVA meet up in Clifton New Jersey! We'll be back with our new T-Shirts and DVDs so be sure you come by and pick them up to help support us.
We'll be back on Friday with a new Arcade Review and more from Coldguy.
An Interview with The Angry Video Game Nerd!

Hey guys. We're really busy so we won't have a comic this week. But we finally got the video interview with James "The Angry Video Game Nerd" Rolfe when we met him over at the last Digital Press NAVA event.
Check out the interview, here!
It was great getting to talk to him, on and off camera. James is a really nice down to earth guy and he loves talking about horror movies and games.
We also got to meet the Nostalgia Critic for the short time he was there. While we didn't get to talk to him on camera he was also a really nice guy and it was great getting to meet him. Even if he was only there for less then an hour. If you haven't checked his site out, be sure you do!
That Guy With The Glasses
Well, I'm off for tonight. We're going to be hitting up Castle Video in New Jersey for some pinball and we'll have more videos and pictures for you soon. So for everybody just checking us out from YouTube, welcome and I hope you like what we have!
An Interview with Captain S!

I really wanted to call today's news post "Puppies! Puppies! Puppies!" after the hilarious Nintendo press conference, but since we don't really have anything to add to it (and Gabe and Tycho NAILED IT) I decided on not doing it.
But today we got an interview with one of our good friends, Brett "Captain S" Vanderbrook. We had a chance to talk to him at the Digtal Press store about the Starcade event, the history of PBC and some of his favorite games.
Interview with Brett
We also have an interview with James AVGN Rolf coming soon, so be on the look out for that one when Revver decides on putting it up.
The Press Start crew is going to be heading to New Jersey to check out Castle Video for a little pinball action this Saturday. I'm really looking forward to it. I haven't played The Twilight Zone in a good five years so I'm getting ready to put about five bucks into it this weekend.
We'll have pictures and videos of Castle Video after our trip, as well as a couple of new things. So be sure to keep checking back with us for more!

Things have been very busy at Press Start. We are getting really close to premiering our new TV show for the internet, Nick and I are busy working on the "10 more games you should have played" for Otakon this year (we have some really insane games to show off), and finally, the biggest news, Press Start will be appearing in Video Game Trader Magazine! Yes, the fine people over at VGTM liked the comic idea I pitched to them, I asked Cycloptic and Nick if they would want to help, and Press Start will be appearing in VGTM. The comic is going to be a continuous story that will appear monthly in VGTM. The comic is also going to be exclusive to VGTM, which means if you want to read, you need to subscribe to VGTM. VGTM is an amazing online magazine that I have been subscribed to since May. The magazine covers mainly classic gaming and includes reviews, news articles, retrospectives, interviews, event coverage, and a continually growing game pricing section for classic games. I love the magazine for the fact that they don't just cover classic games, but new homebrew games for classic systems. Plus, Coldguy, from the infamous Coldguy Blog also contributes some great articles, his newest being a terrible two's match up between Super Mario Bros. 2, Castlevania 2, and Zelda 2. If you are into classic gaming, head on over to Video Game Trader Magazine and subscribe! Well thats it, and enjoy our tips for Otakon attendees comic.
NAVA Video

Hey folks. As was said before, sorry about the technical difficulty. We should have had everything up on Friday but we weren't able to do so.
Saturday's NAVA was amazing. Crowded. But, amazing. A lot of the Digital Press regulars showed up as well as some other special guests, including the crew from PBC-Productions, Dan from Life in a Game, James the AVGN and of course, The Nostalgia Critic came, if only for an hour. I was shocked he didn't stay that long after coming all the way from Illinois but he was awesome to meet in person and their video came out great too.
Our video also came out great, we put it up on the Revver site into three chunks for your viewing enjoyment. This is just one part of the video, the other interviews with some of the guests will be up soon, so be sure to check em' out!
