I have never played an MMORG. I think ... no, I know that I would have loved them when I was twelve, but all we had back then was Compuserve. Thank God. I am sort of glad that I became an adult and lost interest before the technology came of age. These days, the only gaming I do is on an old Atari emulator. Viva Missile Command!
My lack of experience may, in fact, be why I find this hysterical:
The webisodes are even funnier. At least to somebody who has never actually played a MMORG, and probably never will. YMMV, so reviews are desired!
I beleive the colloquial expression for this is "Win."

Er? What is the word "this" referring to?
I feel old. And not just because of the wattle and the joint pains.

Remarkably, the video actually made happy that I never got farther than owning a couple of AD&D manuals and missed all this on-line shit entirely. There but for the grace of God, etc...

Holy crap, Episode 1 made me tear up. "My stupid nanny left without feeding Bellamy AGAIN!"

The video is win, of course. A couple of moments of laughter, but as Bernard says the videos are even funnier.

I admit I am curious how the proliferation of online games is affecting America's youth.

Jerry was upset when I could easily play _Alpha Centauri_ for nine hours at a stretch. At his place.
Largely as a result of that, I decided to stay away from _Spore,_ especially because it looks so cool. That'd be my crystal meth.
Online games? Eee. One of my co-workers replaced smoking with _Warcraft_ and is much the worse for it.
