NEW YORK - Only a year after its release, the Japanese phenomenon continues to grow in popularity, especially in hot spot areas like New York City.
People of all ages are logging in and becoming a part of the fast growing virtual world on the web. Paired with a Digital Monster, or Digimon for short, users can explore the free world and partake in a whole slew of activities that range from battles to contests to races.
Joining is simple. All that's required is access to an uplink pod which are located at various arcades throughout the city or purchase a personalized pod. After uploading is complete, a digital crest is assigned to each user as well as statistical data that can be accessed at any point during the journey.
The Digital World, the new frontier, is the gateway to a new type of living and experiences. "The experience is so surreal, you have to try it for yourself," exclaimed avid Digimon Tamer Charles Lee. Renee Blake added to Charles' comment with, "It's fun and a great way to get away from it all."
Hello there. I'm Enya Turner, a writer/editor for The Grunge and I also happen to be a an amateur blogger. That little piece you saw above was one of the lines in The Grunge, a magazine that relates to gaming. It's a small magazine but it gets some great circulation, especially in the gamer world. I've been working there for about two years now and I love every second of it. I'm pretty much married to my work. Why, you can even ask my ex-fiance Bryan about it. Okay, so not my best moment but I just wasn't ready to become a housewife and mother, especially not with the Digimon just within my grasp. Which leads me to my next point...
Due to the nature of my work, it only makes sense that I dabble in all the latest games and such. And, being a bit of a closet otaku, I did a lot of networking to gain access to all the servers so I can write my personal blog on all things Digimon. At this point I should state that I am fluent in several languages. I can speak English, French, Russian, and I'm working on learning Japanese. I also know basic ASL - American Sign Language. In case you were curious, my mother is French and Irish and my father is English and Russian.
Well, I have a press conference in a second and then I'm relaxing for the night by getting back on the server and playing around. If you need anything, just Tweet me at @13leeds&Leads or you can find my contact information on TheGrungeMag.com.
Oh, before I got. Why 13leeds&Leads? We have a thing in the newspaper world that goes, "If it bleeds, it leads." I thought it was pretty witty, especially since I used to report on crime prior flipping to The Grunge and then picking up blogging (13leedsDigiBlog).
Anyway, catch ya later~!
