Frag Dolls in Toronto - GRFS Launch and Beyond!
May 19, 09:00 AM

One of the things I love about being a Frag Doll is getting to travel to places I wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to visit.

I brought my camera along with me on the trip, and Fidget equipped her trusty recorder so together, we have a bunch of moments to share during our adventures. Here's is a video of the Epicness that took place at that launch party. The winners of the Ghost Recon Future Soldier and AXE Canada Sweepstakes that were flown out to play against us during the launch event were such awesome guys to hang out with.

Edelita Valdez, also known as Pixxel from the all-girl gaming team, the Frag Dolls, is a hardcore gamer hired by Ubisoft. Originally hailing from the Big Island of Hawaii, Pixxel made the journey across the Pacific to pursue a career and education in her two biggest passions: gaming and technology. She now lives in San Francisco, CA studying Computer Programming by day and can be found racking up achievement points, as well as exploring the city, by night.

Pixxel has held a controller in her hands from the moment the minimum dexterity requirements were met. Her mother raised her on Super Mario World, and from then on, Pixxel was hooked. She also owned an NES and enjoyed classics such as Duck Hunt and the original Mario at a young age. At age 8, she found her love for RPG’s as she picked up the first game for her Playstation, Final Fantasy VIII. To date, this is still her most beloved genre. After years of playing on consoles, Pixxel turned to PC gaming where she discovered RTS’s, FPS’s, and a slew of MMORPG’s.

For Pixxel, the sense of community and the social aspect of gaming has always been important to her. She can always be found forum posting, chatting, Venting, and helping to cultivate any guild or group she belonged to. Now, with the ability to attend gaming conventions and events, Pixxel thrives on meeting those in the gaming community face to face. She believes gaming can truly connect and bring people together and with that, there can never be too many couch co-op
titles.
