Ok so for the last couple of days, I’ve been ok watching really disturbing images first thing in the morning combined with great metal tracks. Today’s wont’ be any different. If you’ve never seen Neon Genesis Evangelion’s movie End of Evangelion then you’ve missed out one one of the biggest mind fucks that Japan has ever shared with America.
The track you hear is from Slipknot’s self-titled album and is known merely as “Surfacing”. It’s a pretty fitting track considering that the premise of End of Evangelion is the culmination of Adam and Lilith that causes all of humanity to disappear almost instantaneously…Shinji (the protagonist of the show), a mere student manages to wipe out the individuality of humanity while retaining his own, the chorus just seems to ring more and more true when I watch this video.
“Fuck it all, fuck this world, fuck everything that you stand for, dont belong, don’t exist, don’t give a shit, don’t ever judge me.” Indeed.
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 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.
