Pretty epic.
My favorite parts:
"The first thing you should know is that most people playing World of Warcraft are terrible at video games, especially World of Warcraft. Every Nintendo owner has encountered the following scenario: You hand over the controller to a friend and then watch them clumsily murder Mario with the same bottomless pit until he stops coming back to life. World of Warcraft is an entire society of these people."
"In SMB, taking a step in any direction in under six seconds would be considered a minor challenge, if not an insult. To a Warcraft player it’s impossible for two reasons. One, flippers for hands. You can only sit in one place for so long before your DNA starts to think you’re a walrus. Two, most WoW players are away from their computers, stuck at a traffic light because their reflexes don’t work quickly enough to press the gas before it turns red again."
