USA Today coverage on World Series of Video Games Presented by Intel - just in!
July 06, 2007
Well this is cool news! USA Today just did a huge write-up on the World Series of Video Games Presented by Intel and you can read all about it here. I was so excited I even added a comment because people don't realize how popular gaming really is.
I had no idea until I started working on this promotion myself. Over 90,000 people attended the series last year and it's this cool sub-culture phenomenon that I think is really taking off and becoming mainstream. Lots of celebrities like gaming too now - Chuck Norris is into World of Warcraft apparently (oh no, another Chuck Norris internet rumor! Just teasing - he really is into it), Nick Lachey and his girlfriend, Vanessa Minnillo, play Halo.
Did any of you catch Jonah Hill's (the guy from Knocked Up) interview on David Letterman where he shared getting caught playing Guitar Hero naked in his apartment while construction workers were working across the street? Too funny.
Here's some of the pix I've been promising from the NorthPark Center Mall promotion. Sorry they're not more exciting, but I wasn't there and the person taking them took them just for fun not publicity. Enjoy! You get a feel for it though right? Welcome to Texas and their gamers!:)
If you want to see live video from the real Dallas World Series of Video Games event currently taking place over at the Gaylord Texan Resort right now - click here. There's all kinds of live video, pictures, stats, upcoming contests, how to get there, where to stay, everything you need and want to know!
HAVE FUN!!
