For us here at WPR, this was merely a foregone conclusion that the man who warmed our hearts as children as Captain Jean-Luc Picard would eventually join the ranks of other British actors such as Sir Alec Guinness and Sir Ian McKellen. But this past Wednesday, the man who some of us called Gurney Halleck (from Dune) and Charles Xavier was given the highest honor that a British actor could hope for. That being his entrance into knighthood.
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.
