World of Warcraft (wow)Officially a Job You Pay For

One massively compulsive game playable within another massively compulsive game? Why, that’s like mixing Pringles with heroin. Yes, an official (from Popcap’s end, at least) Peggle plugin has been released for World of Warcraft. Which is a) terrifying b) exciting and c) supports the viewpoint that MMOs are not merely a genre anymore - they’re a platform all of their own these days.The obvious response is “if you’re bored enough in WoW to want to go play Peggle instead, you should probably just stop playing WoW.” Which may be true, but it’s not that simple - the WoW devout like to live in WoW - it’s their internet. So this is a joyous thing - they don’t have to leave Azeroth if they want to play something else, plus it’s something to help while away those long minutes waiting for everyone to gather at the raid entrance or to cling to sanity during those oh-so-tedious cross-continental flights. Damn. Just damn. oofay will take it The next person who honestly tries to convince me that MMOs are rewarding and compelling's going to get teabagged. You know, verbally. I'm so glad that we can all use teabagging in normal speech now, by the way. It's good to have as many blue albeit under-the-radar expressions as possible, and now I won't feel like some greek wanker douche for saying it out loud.See? Look at all those great words that you can use to describe people who pay for two games because the first one is too boring to keep your attention except that maybe it's a little more colorful than a day job.
