A small buisness owner in the township of Beacon, New York was forced to shut the doors to his buisness due to an archaic law in the city that makes it illegal for there to be pinball and arcade games in the city.
Fred Bobrow, owner and proprietor of the Retro Arcade Museum in the city was facing a $1,000 a day fine and jail time if he didn’t shut his business down, luckily the city council is fast at work repealing this law so hopefully one day, he’ll be able to reopen his business.
I miss arcades, and I think that any place that would be as classy as this one appears to be would open up in my area, I’d be on a first name basis with Mr. Bobrow within a week.
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.
