yeah we have the real thing over here too this is RA from XFX she showed up
0:08
for our first Markham brand opening sale so they've got a whole Booth here set up
0:13
for XB we've got video cards and and
0:16
boxes for video cards and all kinds of product roers so uh ra is going to tell
0:21
us a little bit about what she does for XFX well the simple answer is that I am
0:27
a spokes model but that's not really all there is to um a lot of what I do I
0:31
manage the Facebook page um I make Vlogs
0:34
on YouTube basically I just I am
0:37
actually really into games that's always the first question and I just basically
0:42
document my life as a gamer talk about XFX is new products and it's sort of A
0:48
New Concept that's never been done before it's never been done because it
0:51
took a while for them to find the one lady PC Gamer in all of the North
0:56
American continent and then hire her so
0:59
um um okay maybe here's a question that I can ask you do you know any other
1:04
female PC Gamers that you frag with um
1:08
you know I don't necessarily have a lot of I know a lot of females at game but
1:12
whether or not their taste and games line up with my own it's always a toss
1:16
up however um I do have a good friend
1:20
who's very into like RPGs Final Fantasy
1:23
things like that um I know a girl who's obsessed with Call of Duty but she's
1:27
Xbox and I'm PlayStation and PC so you
1:30
know Xbox Gamers yeah and then and also
1:35
like just how I got the job with XFX
1:38
there was a contest and during the contest there were six finalists and I
1:42
met a lot of really cool girls who were all into gaming we all got to have
1:47
arguments over what games were the best and so there what game is the best oh
1:52
you know right now I'm loving Starcraft 2 even though it's not loving me back um
1:56
there's a bit of a learning curve there did you play Starcraft 1 I did not you
2:00
did not well there's your problem yeah that's why I was really obsessed with
2:04
World of Warcraft for a while so that like ate up all my G I think everyone
2:08
goes through one of those phases I actually had about a 3mon stint with
2:12
World of Warcraft uh back when it launched it was just terrifying I I I
2:17
basically like kind of went okay here's
2:20
my credit card take it away from me I'm not buying this game anymore and I've
2:26
been clean for uh several years now from Wow addiction so
2:30
I've been paying my 15 bucks a month for like four years oh wow yeah um I don't
2:36
know cameraman's pointing at something I have no idea what he's talking about I think he's pointing at the table uh he's
2:42
going to show us something about the table I think they're giving away some video cards here today uh XFX is a radon
2:48
video card manufacturer up until recently they uh they did not have ATI
2:52
cards but they have since brought their lifetime rather double lifetime warranty
2:57
and mod friendly warranty over to the red camp
3:00
so that means that with an XFX card like a 5970 a 5770 any of their full line of
3:06
ATI radon cards you can not only replace
3:10
the stock cooler that is take all the screws out take it apart put something
3:14
else on make it make it more quiet put a water block on it whatever you want to
3:18
do you can also put the stock cooler back on resell that card to someone
3:23
later and they still have a lifetime warranty on the card so that's one of
3:27
the really unique things about XFX that they bring to the table for their
3:31
customers because it really does improve the resale value of your card if you can
3:34
sell it to the guy with a warranty so that's pretty cool and I just want to
3:38
thank ra for coming out to our grand opening I hope it's been as exciting for
3:42
you as it has been for us and uh say hi to my YouTube audience of about
3:46
25,000 excellent why is the camera looking at

3:55
things to add here sorry I cut it off a little early last time it's okay okay
