WoW!

World of Warcraft - for those not in the know, the name alone wafts a certain stench of greasy hair, freshly-plucked acne and teenage sweat. It's too bad that the games' reputation of ultimate geekdom precedes it, for anybody that enters its vast world will find love at first log-in.


Even before the entire Springfield populous in The Simpsons played the game and South Park "PWNED the n00bs and WoW elite" World of Warcraft had garnered enough hardcore users to call it more than a mere "cult phenomenon." Millions upon millions of gamers have logged in countless hours trekking through the endless horizons of planet Azeroth in the game that flat-out defines the most obsessive kind of digital entertainment: Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPG...these techies just love their abbreviation!).
