Hey Gamers!

I'm sure you're all glad that this quarter is finally done and it's time to enjoy the summer! I know this because Xfire has been lit up by people rocking their games once again! While I'm stoked about seeing xfire alive once again, I wanted to apologize that the End of the Year party didn't end up happening. It just wasn't plausible with how few people were showing interest in it. I had a lot of plans and announcements I wanted to make at the party as well, but alas, it was not to be.

All is not lost though, for you see we have an entire summer of gaming goodness ahead of us! A few of us may have graduated and be heading off to better things, but before we bid you farewell we will have some fun this summer!

That's where you all come in! Head over to the forums and start planning and discussing ideas for fun things to do! They can be online or off, a public event or private. Just make it known that we aren't just bummin' around and being antisocial all summer! Let's get together and make what made The Gamers Club great all school year last throughout the summer!

Now on to the fun news stuff!

Hey Gamers

This has been an amazing week for gaming! E3 reallyblew away any negative thoughts still remaining and made a great show!All of the major consoles, handhelds and even the PC had a lot to offerthis year! Beyond mind-blowing games, it seems that everyone's gettinginto the motion control business! Project Natal from Microsoft, Motioncontrol from Sony and even Nintendo's pulling a do-over with WiiMotionPlus! All of these seem gimmicky at first, but the firstimpressions demonstrate they go far beyond what we're used to! It lookslike the next few years will be a the renaissance of electronicinteraction! Anyway, on to news!
