Either there are a lot of WoW players on the South Park staff or they've been watching all the WoW videos on Google and YouTube. They got the detached zombie voices of the players talking about stats, items, and macros down to a tee.

OMG that was hilarious!!! I'm surprised they were allowed to use company logos and in-game footage when depicting the game in a disparaging way--I guess the folks at Blizzard aren't just a bunch of suits and they have a sense of humor after all!

Youre kidding, right? I'm not a WoW player, but every other game they've ever made is filled with great pop culture reference jokes and inside jokes. I'm guessing that the entire episode is a sweetly enjoyed mockery of the dorks who commit every waking moment to a game. They've been dealing with them ever since that game came out.

:confused: how the correlation was made

casting time vs duration of the spell perhaps.

When you get a g/f you will understand.

It wouldn't surprise me if Blizzard played a hand in making the episode...the in game footage was just too spot on and well orchestrated for it to have simply been the South Park crew playing in game and hitting the record button...some of the scenes smelled of cutscene goodness.

Given that Parker and Stone had all summer to craft this episode, I suspect they worked with Blizzard on it to some extent.

One of their best episodes in a while.

Actually I was confused how you thought someone worried about inaccurate cast times would have a g/f.

I thought you were the original poster :) Sort of my same point though :beer:

DAM that was HILARIOUS :D

I got most of the references but didn't know what the hell some of the stuff was :p. I played a night elf warrior to lvl33 then I let my bro play the character. He is up to lvl60 and rank 12 and about 65% through that lol. He's 11 :p.
