I know there’s quite a few of you older folks reading WPR right now…so I gotta ask, were you like me and can relate to this kid’s situation?
SPOILER ALERT! Vader is Luke’s father, sorry if you didn’t know it, but the look on this kid’s face is just priceless and reminds me of when I was a wee lad who was watching this on bootleg VHS tapes. When the big reveal happened during the waning minutes of The Empire Strikes Back, movie magic was made.
Who else was as slack jawed to find out the big bad guy of Star Wars was the hero Jedi’s father? Discuss!
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.
