I'll let you in on a little secret. There are posts often in this forum that make comparisons of real world stuff or other games or apps to GW that are just way too much of a stretch. There's a recent one in this forum where the person is displaying about four outfits (out of millions) in Second Life and trying to associate them with GW. It's a joke. Hellboy's gauntlet is closer... much closer... and, of course, it precedes GW... as does SL.
I couldn't resist. See the grinning/laughing face at the bottom of my OP?
