    WOW alright, I had no idea that that many people were into this game... I mean its the same thing over and over and over an over... My kid wanted me to get it for him, but instead I bought him a DS and brain age... no way am I letting that game into my house, I hear that they allow openly gay people to play it online, and there are roving packs of lesbians.

    Who would have thought there were that many nerds and dorks out there. The Geek shall inherit the Earth! (Or at least the digital Warcraft equivalent)
