We’ve all seen stories of videogame characters running amuk and destroying shit…most memorable would be the episode of Futurama “Anthology of Interest II” episode where Fry battled Lur’s onslaught of Space Invaders. Well, just imagine if the city of New New York was real and it wasn’t just Donkey Kong and Space Invaders messing things up.
Below is the video “Pixels” by Patrick Jean, one of the best bits of live-action mixed with video game animation I’ve seen in a long time. It also answers the question of “why did our parents hate us spending so much time gaming?”
Now we know why…it’s because they’d end up destroying New York, then the entire world.
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.
