Who is Xopher Reed?

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.

It's is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.

I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.

It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com. Sure, you may think that what we're offering isn't unique, but our community is. And that's something that comes for free with participation in this website, just like our podcast hosting services.

Winter Soldier Concept Changes My Mind

The Marvel Cinematic Universe seems to be eating up a whole hell of a lot of blog space for me these days as I find it incredibly easy to get lost in these movie remakes of comic characters I’ve loved for years. There was only one movie in the MCU that I didn’t LOVE and that was Captain America.  

Iron Man 3 – Review

I laughed, I swooned, and I damn near had a seizure during a particular scene. But there’s always something I walk away with when I watch super hero movies, though I’ll be damned if I can figure out exactly what that was this time around.
