It’s looking to be a big weekend for 4 Colour 8 Bit. And we hope you can make it down for some of the action. Here are some of the big things going on...<br /><br />Free Comic book day:<br />Just as it sounds we’re giving away free comic books from a number of established publishers and you’re welcome to a few yourself just for showing up. <br /><br />Shadomoor Release Tournament:<br />The new block of Magic the Gathering, Shadowmoor, has released today. We’re kicking it off Saturday with a sealed deck tournament. Get your hands on the new set and get a foil version of the popular card “Vexing Susher.” If you hate counterspells, this card’s for you.<br /><br />Blow Your Allowance: <br />You might not know Erin “IvyClimber” Robinson by name, but if you’ve seen an issue of Golden Words in the last 4 years you might know her as the one who did that comic that’s been on your fridge all semester. She has 4 years of solid work to show for her stay in Kingston and we’re excited to be selling her book in the store. You can have her 54 page anthology of awesome for only $17.95.4 Colour 8 Bit comicstag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683119320646518436.post-8506258044870219632008-04-03T12:21:00.000-07:002008-04-03T12:22:19.114-07:00Its time for our Smash doubles tourney!<br />Bring a partner in our 32 man multi-player tournament on Sunday the 13th of April<br /><br />The details...<br /><br />Smash Bros Brawl Tournament : Sunday April 13th 12:00pm - 9:00pm<br />$15 per group<br />All money goes into the tournament's prize pool.<br />Max 32 players.

It's been a busy season and we simply never got around to updating this page as much as we wanted. Not to mention having nobody specific to do it means nobody does it. So while I've been updating the more official smoothed out store times, I figured I would mention some of the other things we're working on lately:<br /><br />Nintendo DS nights. Wednesdays at 7-10.<br /><br />Come on in and bring your Nintendo DS and play networked games with others. No games? No problem. Many games feature download play letting up to 8 people play with only one cartridge! <br /><br />Smash Bros tournament : March 9th. "Show us your moves."<br /><br />We're working on a Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournament in the store. $5 entry fee or $3 with a Brawl pre-order. Up to 32 players will be competing to become the best brawler in an all day tournament. You can also warm up with us anytime by stopping in and playing Smash Bros Melee in the demo area.<br /><br /><i>Games We're loving now : No More Heros(Wii), Burnout Paradise(Ps3 & Xbox)</i>4 Colour 8 Bit comicstag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683119320646518436.post-10667576859957740192007-10-04T08:43:00.000-07:002007-10-04T08:52:34.721-07:00<a href="http://www.4c8b.com/uploaded_images/Buy-Somethin-775415.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.4c8b.com/uploaded_images/Buy-Somethin-775410.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />It's been a great first month, thanks to everyone who's joined us from the start! <br /><br />The new store copies of Heavenly Sword and War-hawk continue to show off the demo area's set up. <br /><br />We've also established our comics suppler so it's easy as pie for you to order whatever you want through the store's e-mail, phone or face-book group. <br /><br /><br />So come on down and buy something will ya?4 Colour 8 Bit comicstag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683119320646518436.post-66898629202285305172007-09-19T11:42:00.000-07:002007-09-19T11:43:08.032-07:00New store copies of Dynasty Warriors Gundam, Transformers and Warhawk!
