Extra Life begins for me in little less than 30 minutes. I know, most of the gaming world had their marathon last week, but due to some unforeseeable circumstances, I had to move it to the make up weekend. Unfortunately it also means for the most part, I’ll be hanging with myself most of these 24 hours. Hopefully some friends drop by, but we’ll see.

My plan is this — for starters, I’m popping in Fallout New Vegas. I think this new game will give me ample playing time for a while…and anyone that wants to join me on Xbox 360 are more than welcome to! Invite me to a game — my gamer tag is RobustOne.

As it states on our Facebook Page, I’m ready to go — I’ve got sweets on my right, and electronics on my left. My iPod touch is there and it’ll be my continuation in case I need to walk around…I’ll play Plants vs. Zombies on that.

So that’s my gameplan for today. Keep an eye on this and I’ll keep you posted on my progress.

The Nintendo Wii is one of the top selling consoles in this generation. The Wii was innovative, pushing video games into the mainstream and opening up the gaming community to include the casual gamers. The Wii is in homes of people who never before bought consoles simply becasue the games are easy to use and fun to play. But I think the Nintendo Wii could be perhaps one of the last consoles that Nintendo produces.  Doug Attempts to explain and defend his point,  just in time to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Super Mario Bros.
