Brand-New Gaming Franchise, Gamer Doc, Makes Its Asian-Themed Festival/Convention Debut At TAKII 7, Plus Pre-Registration Ends
ORIGINAL PRESS RELEASE URL: http://forum.pdnmz.com/viewtopic.php?p=209#p209
April 18th, 2009 -- Upper Darby, PA -- With only a week to go before TAKII 7 ~Simply SINs"ASIAN"al~, the world's premier Asian culture fusion festival accentuates its video gaming roots by being privileged to announce the Asian-themed festival/convention debut of the world's lead retail gaming alternative, Gamer Doc! The franchise's recently-premiered Springfield, PA store joins The Asian Karaoke Idol Invitational's 7th season celebration of Asian culture's guiltiest pleasures by establishing a presence in both our Dealer's Dominion (http://takii.pdnmz.com/events/vendor.html) & Vid Game Events (http://takii.pdnmz.com/events/vg.html).
So, just what is Gamer Doc in a nutshell? Some say it's a hardcore gamer's paradise. Others will say that it's a casual consumer's gateway into what the youth of the USA call "America's new favorite pastime". If you ask a Gamer Doc employee, they'll simply tell you they're "the next big thing" in retail gaming alternatives within an industry that has beat expectations in what many would say is "the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression".
"Springfield, PA's Gamer Doc location is proud to carry the banner of the entire franchise into TAKII 7 ~Simply SINs"ASIAN"al~," says the store's unofficial "1st Lady Of Gaming" & seasoned employee, Allison Christopher. "After having requested information by way of TAKII's Sponsorship/Affiliate Initiative (http://takii.pdnmz.com/interaction.html) & presenting it to store management, it literally took a matter of moments to say HAI (YES) about being involved with such a uniquely gifted & dedicated organization. With us being a compelling alternative to retail video gaming & TAKII being it's own extreme brand of Asian culture fusion festivals & conventions, it was a perfect fit!" When asked about more detail about Gamer Doc's involvement with TAKII 7, Allison was quoted as saying "We will do our best to bring a Gamer Doc store experience with us to TAKII's Dealer's Dominion, along with assisting in the weekend's varied gaming contests & tournaments. We'll also be mingling with TAKII faithful to get their ideas on how to maximize one's retail gaming experience, promote some of our own upcoming console tourneys, & enjoy the celebration along with everyone else!"
When talk turned to the historical nature of this interaction between TAKII & Gamer Doc, Allison was quoted as saying, "Anyone who has followed The Asian Karaoke Idol Invitational knows how much they love to make history. For those who are fans of Gamer Doc, they, too, know how proud we are, from President Jim Belanger all the way down to the newest employee of the newest store, about how far we have come & where we are going in this wonderfully exciting industry. This is only the beginning of what our shared desire is to be an innovatively-beneficial professional relationship."
In the run-up to TAKII 7, we encourage our fans in the USA & Canada especially to take part in Gamer Doc's 1st Open Class International Halo 3 Tournament! Registration is now open at each Gamer Doc location, & there is a $50.00 entry fee per team. The last day to register for the tournament is Friday, April 24th, 2009.
