Wow, I think we've only been talking about this for months. Enough talk, time to finally act. The Chicago Gamers Club (hence forth known as the CGC) is the official club of hardcore Chicago gamers that are looking to make actual connections outside of World of Warcraft or Xbox Live.



Uh oh, you might say. Does that mean you have to be actually social? Yes it does my fellow gamer. The CGC aims to connect adults that are out of college with like minded other adults. Many of us are married, and some of us are even going to have kids soon. Unfortunately, many of our workplaces still can't seem to accept the notion that video games aren't just for kids anymore. Well, consider the CGC your oasis. And, for those like me and my CGC founding partner, video games are our #1 pastime.

Just because your wife doesn't care you finished a speed run of 4:30 on Super Metroid and your boss doesn't know the difference between Pac Man and Ms Pac Man doesn't mean you need to give up hope. In the coming months, we're going to be founding our first CGC board that will coordinate events and write up a newsletter. We're going to do a little bit of everything.

And, for those already wondering...
-Yes, we are going to drink. Probably a lot.
-No, this is not a nerd club. We're all working professionals.
-Yes, you must be 21 to be a member.
-No, you don't have to be super hardcore to attend.
-Yes, you'll feel awkward if you're not slightly super hardcore if you attend.
-No, no founding members are psychopaths.
-Yes, you must send an email to ChicagoGamersClub@gmail.com
