You can’t deny that Nintendo really is either a marketing genius of a corporation and started their campaign for this system a long time ago, or they are just inept at making great sounding names ever since the Nintendo 64.
I’m leaning more towards the latter as they just took the name of their last system and added a U to the end of it which makes a sound all too much like Ling from Kung Pow: Enter The Fist, a great kung-fu movie parody that had some of the best dialogue replacement I’ve ever heard not to mention a fight with a CG cow. Now have fun with the rest of your day as you cannot unhear what is posted below.
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.
