So, last week I saw this truck commercial:



And the second episode of Law and Order: SVU this season was about a girl who played MMORPGs and they went into the game to find out who raped/killed/ate/whatever'ed using her avatar.

And now there's an episode of CSI:New York that involves them going into a MMOG to solve some crime.

Keep this stuff in parents' basements where it belongs, in my opinion.

Apparently you can play WoW with the Xbox 360 controller now. You should check it out with a free trial or something.

Navigating through ALL the hotkeys must be a pain in the ass, no? I'm having enough trouble getting through spells on Magic the Gathering: Battlegrounds and I barely have any spells for that beast.

Most people only use about 8 things most of the time.

Perhaps so, but I still think it'd be rough.

Still, I won't have any time for gaming come Nov. 1st when my copy of HELLGATE LONDON arrives.

Apparently it scans your hardware and software to provide targeted in-game ads.

Hell yes it does.

I am certainly not one of thsoe people who will give a shit about seeing dark horse comics posters in my game, like I already have on the demo. (not sure if that's standard in the demo or if they were actually scanning my computer)

That is, provided it does not scan my porn and start showing porn posters. That'd just annoy me.
