The evils of MMO gaming
Swedish TV show says all

The geniuses at Sweden's Plus show have uncovered the shocking truth about World of Warcraft and MMO games in general when a 18-years old Jonas Nilson was ripped off by Blizzard's "World of Warcraft". Not only it requires internet connection but also monthly fees! After the store refused to grant him a refund, Jonas filed a complaint to Consumer Association who took his side. Plus decided to investigate the matter and came up with amazing revelations! According to them, "a monthly fee in computer games is just a clever way to get people's money".

(By the way, do yourself a favour and watch the video here.
Watching that idiot drag a humongous cable through his living room to connect his laptop to internet is hilarious.)

Yeah, I was entertained by that video. I think it would have been funnier if I knew what they were saying. Or maybe not.

Oh gods, that's just too funny... thanks for bringing "The Absurd" to "Off-Topic & the Absurd".

I once met a person who claimed he spoke for every character in Baldur's Gate II when he played it, thus creating many bizzare dialogues. Mayhaps you can do the same with this video?

Most of the time you can understand what they are talking about, though.

The less WoW copies sold, the better.
