crazy asian chicks are always welcome on Destructoid

Well according to Summa, nobody cares about the MMO industry except MMO players. Which is true. I really don't give a rats ass about MMO games or WoW's impact on them. The only things WoW has given me is Leroy Jenkins which was a cheap laugh and that South Park episode which was sadly very true to life for so many people.

BTW: COMMODORE64, definitely.

live tv is very awkward...i agree.

on a serious note, very nicely done rob.

i remember when i did a live tv spot that i said something like "we doubled the size of the walk-in humidor, hence the humidor is twice as big"...NO SHIT?! i felt stupid. and i constantly said 'uh'. and uh.

so yeah, winner winner chicken dinner summa.

what does Karin Chu think, will still play with atari-like joysticks?

Good job man.
Too bad you kept on being interruppted.
But yeah, stupid question. G4 is retarded.

Haha, you seriously looked really pissed though ;)

@Bluefision
'New' MMO's are thought of and created all the time. Whether you like WoW or not, it's a huge success and people want to copy it. During AGC I actually went to a talk (forget which one) where they actually addressed that when a lot of people try to sell an MMO, WoW is mentioned somewhere in their pitch.

Don't you just love that satellite delay?

You have a big jaw Summa.

WoW is probably the best MMO on the market today.

I guess it's too bad that I, personally, have no interest in MMOs.

I agreed with Summa almost entirely. However, unlike most of the previous commenters, who apparently thought she was just a raving lunatic, I thought that Karen Chu had some valid points as well... at least, up until the end when she was talking about how the "communities would react" regarding having WoW on a console, which I took to mean that she considered console players to be too... I dunno, backwards and primitive to be allowed to step foot on the hallowed soil of Azeroth or something. Then again, given that your stereotypical Xbox Live users are potty mouthed 11 year olds, maybe she has a point? *shrug* I have as much interest in Xbox Live as I do WoW.

But the basic premise of "Will WoW kill console gaming?" was asinine. Yeah, this one game on the PC, no matter how good it may be on its own merits, is going to kill the console market as a whole. Right. I mean, it's not like you guys were really disagreeing about anything, per se. It was just that the whole thing was trying to compare apples to oranges.

You make me proud to part of dtoid..they should put you in Metro more too, i enjoy reading your articles while on my way to work on the subway..You should have a daily colum...
again great job bro-seph

I don't think of WoW or other MMO's to really be games, the visuals are where the similarities end. A video game is something you play for entertainment, like you would watch a movie or read a book, where you go through a story. Online games are similar in that sense, only replacing the story element with the fun of playing with others. But someone who plays an MMO has different motives than the traditional gamer. Where gamers play for fun, MMO players spend endless amounts of hours online because they become addicted to the feeling of achievement (leveling up, getting armor, whatever), it makes them feel good and they neglect other parts of their lives in order to get that feeling. It's pretty pathetic and sad. These MMO's are designed to hook you, but then you find yourself spending more and more time to get the feeling of accomplishment, and it just sucks time and money out of people. In short, gamers are cool, MMO players are the new breed of geek.

Nice Summa.

MMO MINESWEEPER FTW.

eh.

In the future when you talk about yourself in the third person you had better refer to yourself as "The Summa."

It's only fitting.

You're playing a video game whether you're playing Zelda in the dark, on your couch, by yourself, or whether you're playing WoW in the dark, in front of your PC, with 8 million other people.
There's varying degrees of loserdom in both camps, and to someone sitting on the outside (like people in the demographic that G4 is failing at appealing to) you look like a dork. Embrace it.

Jesus, can somebody upload a version without so much damn QUALITY?! I'd like to see this, but it's not worth the hours of download time that my ****ty connection requires.

that asian chick was pretty hot though.

I wanted to get into console evolution and why that's caused PC gaming to decline, but damn, we had no time to get into it.

Hopefully I'll be talking to those guys even more once I move out to L.A. next month. So you never know.

If you cop a feel of oliva or morgan (or adam) you have to tell us summa

Karen Chu sounds like a really nasty flavor of Red Man.

I love Dtoid... things can only get better from here.

This chick won't STFU! Summa I would have just gave her an internet donkey punch. As much as I love MMOs I have to agree with Summa, people who like the game will get the expac and those who don't won't get it no matter how friggin cool it is. I never played Halo for Xbox and how big was that game, I didn't want an xbox and didn't wanna spend the money.
