People take WoW way too seriously if you can't meet someone in real life and not be cool about it. These people were, but it took them a moment to decide to be… crazy.
From Wonderland :
Yesterday I went to see a buddy down at a certain large satellite-TV company. He brought some game dude friends, and perhaps inevitably, the talk turned to World of Warcraft.
"Alice plays..", said my friend.
"Oh cool," said one of the chaps, "what level?"
"A 60 lock on the UK servers and a 57 mage on the US servers," I said. "Do you play?"
"Yep. Are you Horde?"
"Yes! You?"
"…Alliance."
"Oh."
There was a beat as we assessed this new data. I looked at him, he looked at me.
I grinned:
"/Spit", I said.
He laughed.
Whew.
I think perhaps WoW needs to be added to the trio of things you don't talk about at the business or dinner table: politics, religion, income… and Warcraft.
Yeah…well…what can you say to that. Funny and retarded. Then again, I guess that really fits with the rest of the internet. Hell, if there was a catchphrase for the internet, it would be, "retarded funny". I swear.
