WoW the Next "Golf"?

TheGrapeApe writes "1up has an article about the possibility of World of Warcraft becoming the next "Golf": A place where friends, acquaintances, and perhaps even business partners will meet up to "talk shop" and swap stories. Personally, I can't wait until I have my next job interview in the Deadmines. " I demand extra healing and mana pots from all my employees.

golf is good because it's long walk long walk. It's not like people can make business contacts when people are screaming "OMFG! HEALZ!"

Pepsi stock has taken a harsh beating today, after allegations of "Corpse Camping" by the Coke Guild. When approached for comments, Pepsi replied "AFK bio"

Yeah sure

Gregarious people are surely going to trade face to face time for a game. "Hey, let's go get a beer after we play." "Ok, I'm headed up to my fridge, tell me when you got your beer and we'll have an online toast."

Bleh.

Undead Stratholme (with your Boss)

One guildie relates this story:

"My coworkers and I were in a particularly heated meeting recently. Our management team had thrown a ridiculous project our way, and later yelled at us for not completing it to their non-existant specifications. When we met to discuss possible ways to satisfy this lose-lose situation, no one had any plausible ideas. During a break in conversation, I said, 'What we need to do is five-man the Baron'.

At least four people present laughed, including my boss."

I know I saw the TeamSpeak icon on a coworker's laptop the other day, and came very close to asking him what game it was for. Boy, it would be disturbing finding out he was on the same server; especially if he were a member of the other faction...

What we need to do is five-man the Baron

I'm glad I play WoW and can understand that, otherwise the connotations could have been awful.

Is $this the next $that? $publication is running an article that suggests that $this could become the next $that. $this mirrors that because $weak_correlation[0] and $weak_correlation[1]. Futhermore, $fluff_item[0] and $fluff_item[1]. In conclusion, $conclusion[int rand(10)].

WoW is not Golf

[The-Bus]

If World of Warcraft was like golf, then WoW players would:

• obsess over every single detail of the game
  
• have others complain about wasting money on such a frivolous pasttime
  
• spend endless hours comparing equipment and bemoaning the lack of funds to acquire upgrades...

Wait a second...

Choose a race. Choose a class. Choose a profession. Choose a guild. Choose a fucking big sword, choose rings, cloaks, engineering trinkets and electrical hats. Choose good HP, low SPI, and soulstones. Choose auction house re-selling. Choose a starter inn. Choose your friends. Choose twill and matching vendor trash weapons. Choose a three-piece armor set in a range of colors. Choose gold farming and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that AH bridge watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing n00b talk, stuffing fucking junk mage food into your mouth. Choose leveling away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable inn, nothing more than an blink to the selfish, fucked up alts you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose WoW... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose WoW. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got noggenfogger?

Funny, I assumed you were going to tell me you have a level 60 undead rogue on a PVP server the instant you said you were a "suit".
