Virtual Worlds have been in the media a lot lately and there’s been so much hype, I sometimes just wanna shout “OH…GET OVER IT!”.
Clickable Culture has a little rant about a Toronto Star article which I found highly amusing.
“On the other hand, it’s supremely social. Players band together, chatting incessantly. They hook up for virtual drinks at the inn, share a slab of wild boar meat. They dance, they have picnics in the woods, they even share a bed on occasion.” Dude, I don’t know what server you are playing on, but I have never heard of players going to an inn in Warcraft for a pint and a slab of meat. Picnics in the woods!?! Cotroneo is embellishing here. Maybe he plays on a server dedicated to role-playing, where players imagined they were eating and drinking together, or having cybersex in the woods, or whatever the hell he thinks he’s talking about.
Oh how I chuckled!
The Norwegian press has actually been rather thorough in what I’ve read at least. Something to be thankful for! ;)
Remember What The Dormouse Said 
Oh dear, Clickable Culture seems to have not noticed that it was a tongue in cheek, humorous article and not intended as an accurate portrayal of WoW
Oh really?! I’ve done the same mistake so many times I’m to embarrassed to count! I didn’t read the article myself…but I certainly will now! What’s a day without some satirical humour?!!
