Reminder: It’s tonight! I’ll have to cut things a bit short due to TGS, however. We’ll see how much gaming we can get in. And don’t forget it starts at 7:30!

I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do Game Night next Friday, but I should be good to go for this week’s event. This time around, I’m aiming to start at around 7:30 PM EDT. If that doesn’t sound alright with you, let me know by posting a comment. Also, if anything changes, I’ll be sure to post an update on the site.

AARP’s Life@50+ National Event & Expo Attendees to Get Active with Nintendo’s Wii System at Sept. 21 Meet-and-Greet

WHAT: Visitors to this year’s Life@50+ National Event & Expo in Los Angeles will be “getting their game on” during a lively meet-and-greet event hosted by AARP on Sept 21. Nintendo will be on-site to encourage attendees to step up and enjoy live, hands-on demos of video games for the Wii™ system, including Wii Play™: Motion, Wii Sports™ and Wii Fit™ Plus. In addition to the social, physically active fun of Wii, the meet-and-greet will feature live music and a delicious variety of California-made food and wine, creating a festive block party atmosphere.
