A heartwarming story from the Chicago Tribune. The club lounge of the Sedgebrook retirement community in Lincolnshire has recently installed a Nintendo Wii and the residents have become enthusiastic fans. "They come in after dinner and play," explains 72-year-old Flora Dierbach. "Sometimes, on Saturday afternoons, their grandkids come play with them. A lot of grandparents are being taught by their grandkids. But, now, some grandparents are instead teaching their grandkids."
The group are now arranging a Wii bowling tournament, complete with a fan so they can dry their hands before they bowl. One veteran of real-life bowling competitions was on hand to praise the realism of the game. It later transpires he's also an ex-gamer: "I used to play Pac-Man a little bit, but with this you're actually moving around and doing something. You're not just sitting there pushing buttons and getting carpal tunnel." Can the Wii story get any more touching?
