I understand the blog is satire, but.. I admit to being slightly offended by your apparently idea of what a 'w00t' user looks and acts like. Gamers come in all shapes, sizes, and sexes, and from all walks in life. World of warcraft makes this even more true, and expanded the MMO market dramatically. People who normally wouldn't play games, much less the previously-exclusive MMORPG market, suddenly started playing WoW. And I promise they didn't change into dorito consuming slugs. In fact, I can think of several of my RL friends who are gamers--mmos and otherwise... one of them did spent a lot of time playing EQ several years ago, but he's never weighted more than 140 lbs and he's nearly 6 foot tall. and he's the 'worst' of all my MMO playing friends. (outside the one who's living on government money due to extreme social phobias... but his problems go a lot deeper then a computer game. He also weights next-to-nothing.) Just sometihng to think about ;) c_c

I’ve been using ‘w00t’ a lot longer then I’ve been playing MMOs.. . the ‘we owned the other team’ thing was.. well, *I* have never heard of it :P I wonder what ‘whoo-hoo’ and ‘yay’ are acronyms for?

In fact, I can think of several of my RL friends who are gamers–mmos and otherwise… one of them did spent a lot of time playing EQ several years ago, but he’s never weighted more than 140 lbs and he’s nearly 6 foot tall. and he’s the ‘worst’ of all my MMO playing friends.
