This Is Post #3000

It’s been more than two years of hard work and growing up, but we’ve reached yet another milestone for our little website.

It might be a bit of navel-gazing but you have to understand how excited it makes me to see numbers this large. When I first started this website back in July of 2008, I had no intention or aspiration to make it the site that sits in front of you today. I just wanted a blog and site to put my podcasts on.

Here we are, it’s the first month of January, and the gears are turning to make this place a serious business. We’ve got four regular podcasts, daily content, and a thriving community that lives through our forum.

This really is going to be our year. I’ll check back with you all at post 4000 later this year (I’m aiming high!).

Thank you for all of your support and love over the last 30-ish months.

XOXOXO,

“It’s What We Do!”

by Alan Smithee

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.
