Mr. Ruzbarsky and Mr. Evanko are looking to make Video Game Club a hit again this year at Jonathan Law.
The first meeting of the club was held two weeks ago in Room 193. There was a big turnout of interested students ready to game.
“The Video Game Club is more focused on variety this year. We are planning on switching consoles every two weeks to enjoy different games more than last year,” Evanko said. “For example, right now we are playing the Wii U and Gamecube, while in two weeks we will likely switch to the Sega Dreamcast and N64.”
The main focus of the club is to play multiplayer games (especially 4-8 player games) so everyone can get a chance to play.
Ruzbarsky and Evanko plan on expanding the selection of games this year.
“We are planning on playing Wii U and Gamecube games, including ‘Super Smash Bros.,’ ‘Mario Kart 8,’ ‘Nintendoland,’ and others,” Evanko said. “Club members bring in whatever they feel like playing so long as it is school-appropriate.”
Club members most enjoyed “Super Smash Bros.” and “Mario Kart 8” last year, but now with this wider variety of selections, that could change.
The students in the club can really play any games they want as long as they own the game and is school appropriate.
“(Kids can play) any game, as long as the person owns it, it’s up for play,” Ruzbarsky said.
This club is even good for the students that aren’t really into video games; it can introduces them to a type of game that they may like.
“We are trying to expand everyone the genres of games that everyone plays,” Ruzbarsky said.
Evanko and Ruzbarsky enjoy advising this club and hope that it lasts for many more years to come.
