Get ready for South Korea to be on the nightly news every single night when the wave of deaths occur from gamers starving and depriving themselves after the release of Starcraft II this summer (July 27 in the US).
They’re getting started with the hype machine this week as they’ve released a commercial for the game here in the United States…and it’s pretty damn awesome.
Even though I’m not a PC gamer, when I see commercials for games like this, it makes me want to upgrade my rig. Boy, Blizzard really knows how to do CG that’s for certain.
I’m still not ever going to get used to commercials that say “for Mac and PC”, not because of the Mac bit, but that there are no console versions AT ALL planned for this one.
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.
