By Paul HunterNextGen Player is gearing up for a night of racing, Mario Kart Wii style, this Thursday, February 25th, 2010 at 7:00pm. Best of all -- you're welcome to join us!
The fine folks at Offshoot, a Toronto-based interactive marketing firm, will be hosting their second gaming tournament at The Bait Shop, a unique and multi-faceted gallery space that serves as a recreational hub for skate and extreme sports culture. I checked out their December tournament and had a blast; if you're interested, some photos can be found in my impressions post on the Future Shop Tech Blog.
The Bait Shop is located at 358 Dufferin St. Suite 117 in Toronto west's Liberty Village district.

For those looking to be spectators, there will be a room full of entertainment including a live DJ spinning tunes, food and drinks, and a great vantage point to watch the gamers triumph and fall during the competition. Feel free to cheer, hiss or boo at your leisure!
