As if spending hours upon hours playing the same game that doesn’t have an endgame, wasn’t bad enough…we’re now seeing rich ass MMO players in China attempting to outdo each other, in ridiculous ways.
The video today shows what happens when nerds try to one-up each other. Yes, that is a guy who is sitting in a roped off area playing his favorite MMO, World of Magic 2 I believe, on a screen that is about 77,000 square feet large in Beijing. That’s the equivalent of playing World of Warcraft on the Fremont street screens (except the resolution is bound to be better in China).
His whole reasoning for this is that a competing guildmaster showed off first by playing his game on an IMAX screen. Seriously, what’s next for these people? Someone needs to send that guy off to one of those ‘treatment’ facilities to help him with his ‘problem’.
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.
