Tuesday Gaming Zone @ Main Library
Well, we had a successful second week of our Tuesday Gaming Zone. Although we only have one XBox in use for these events right now, we will have to grow it to two or three. Gaming time was maxed out with people trying to get a controller and everyone had a lot of fun competing with HALO 2. We will soon be taking some pics to show you what this looks like in real life. The setup is great. We have a large screen projector setup, with a killer sound system and wireless controllers.
Hope to see you there soon.

Just to add to what Martin said, I've had a lot of feedback by folks who want to know a bit more about what we do to stage the events and want more diversity.
The mainstay of the Tuesday gaming has been the console gaming and as Martin notes we're expanding there. That's more his territory but I'll tell you what I know about it. We setup one of our meeting spaces at the Main Library with a digital projector, sound system andone or more game boxes. The meeting room varies from date to date as we have to share nice with others.
The standard setup are our most popular selections - Madden NFL 2005 and Halo 2 on the X-Box. Based on feedback we're planning on adding more games such as Capcom Fighting Evolution, War of the Monsters, Burnout 2 and Soul Caliber 2 and the Game Cube and Playstation 2 platforms. We're pretty confidant of a few of these choices such as War of the Monsters and the Playstation 2 but we're still looking for more input from attendees. You can come by, email us or leave a comment on the blog.
We'll also have special events from time to time such as our Holiday Game Buying Guide in December and our November Managing Madden NFL Franchises.
I'm more involved with the newest part of the curriculm of our Tuesday events, the role playing games. This is the newest thing we're doing and we're getting a lot of great interest already. I'll soon be posting an entry about the RPGs as well to give folks more information about them.
Hope to see you there soon.
