It’s the end of the World (of Warcraft)

South Park did an episode about MMOGs and it was hilarious.  I found it funny even though I didn’t realize they were talking about a real game: World of Warcraft.  It’s easy to write gamers off as the nerdy minority but they really aren’t.  Seven million people are onto something.  

While I haven’t figured it all out, what I do know is:

• My cube neighbor was one of the Reuters Second Life Reporters
• The S.O. has filched my bluetooth ear piece to communicate with his COD4 teammates
• I’m addicted to Guitar Hero

Finally, I now realize that MMOGs are money makers and message vehicles.  I believe that I might become obsolete as a public relations professional if I continue to ignore everything that is more technically-challenging than MarioKart on Super Nintendo.  

RIP Frogger
