NWSFS August Social, Retro-Video Gaming Social

Posted on behalf of Jeanine Swanson - NWSFS Vice Chair:

Please join us Saturday, August 20th at Chris McDonell’s home in Lynnwood for a NWSFS Retro-Video Gaming Social!

The WHAT:  Offline muti-player and single player console videogame party. We’ll start at 4:00PM and continue until around 10:00PM. This is a videogames potluck so please bring your contribution of overly caffeinated beverage & munchies. 

The CONCEPT: An event intended more for the casual or neophyte gamer rather than the extreme hardcore. Chris is tired of trying to compete with a 13 year old's reflexes only to have my sad carcass tea-bagged all over Blood Gulch.  Gamers who like to play on Normal, rather than Heroic.
 
The SETUP: 3 big Screen rooms and a bunch of Video monitors. Chris has a bunch of x-boxs linked together for mutiplayer Halo 2 and Crimson Skies as well as Playstations 1, 2, & 3. wii, and a Gamecube. Extra monitors will be there for people who want to bring their own consoles. Pachinko, pinball, and an old Asteroids arcade game may be dusted off for the most diehard retro fans. (Note: This is an OFF-LINE event. No Internet access available!)
The WHERE:  3408 158th St SW, Lynnwood, WA 98087
The DIRECTIONS: 
  •  From south of Lynnwood, take I5 or 405 north to I5 exit #183 `164th Street exit, Turn left onto 164th Street, go over I5, go down the hill and up, to turn right onto 35th Ave W. Turn right onto 158th St SW. 3408 is the third house on the right.
