My parents were glad I gamed all the time instead of caused trouble.

You clearly were locked in a basement if you think those are the only two other options...

As far as hanging out with friends at night goes...yes pretty much. TV? Movies? Video games? All involve a screen. What else is there to do at night on the weekend?

LOL, great episode! I'm a WoW player, and they really nailed it dead on. The scenery, music, and characters are lifted straight from the game, although the combat on the show is much better looking than in the game. They didn't show many spells though.

This makes me wonder how much of South Park's audience is of the 'non-gamer' variety. I've never played WoW but I did play EQ for a year so I got most of the jokes. Did the non-gamers find it funny?

oh.... my... fricken... krishna!!!

lol. I was downtown playing poker at makertstreet pub in gville when I saw the (no sound) tv airing this episode.

I know it is a new season and all... but even with no sound, I totally knew what was going on and couldn't stop laughing.

Man, I am home now and waiting for the late airing.... but holy fircken buddha.... I have not had to hold back laughter like that since someone farted at a funeral. (it was a 10-second, 70dB anus rip)

man, that was funny. It was funny because it's all true! The whole Teamspeak crap reminded me of the guild raids. I still have the horrible memory of waking up at 5 am in the morning to kill some stupid crap for XP before work.

Thank the lord I have been MMORPG Free since June 2005.

That was a great episode. I don't play WOW, but I sheepishly admitted to my friends that I actually understood most of the jargon they used.

That guy spent a year and a half leveling up, yet he had no reaction when he was killed. Does WoW do that to your brain?
