Report from Gaming for Hope

Ladies, Gentlemen, I just got into the office a bit ago after attending the first couple of hours of "Gaming for Hope" at Marist College (I would have stayed longer, except you all do need me to design Sunday's Sports section, don't you?) and already the gray gym in the James J. McCann Center is full of happy gamers.

For a photo gallery from the event, check out THIS LINK. The photos are taken by yours truly. Yes, I know, I'm no pro.

Anyway, I highly recommend EVERYONE getting their butts out of the gorgeous sunshine and heading indoors to the McCann Center. The rumors are true — you can win a Wii, a DS, or an iPod Shuffle in raffles — but, more importantly, there are all sorts of consoles set up and room to play them. By my count there are at least 4 Wiis ready to play, with a few Xbox360s all networked to play against one another, to go along with a Guitar Hero station an original Nintendo section, and plenty of others.

And the best part is, all proceeds from this FREE event are going straight to the Child's Play charity!

So forget the sunlight — Who needs it???

Oh, and I'll likely have more info by the end of the night, and a full story in Saturday's (next week's) Gaming page. In the meantime, check out the photos!

Check your photo gallery link; it appears to link to the edit function to the gallery rather than the gallery itself.
