    Still, the WoW players who watched the ad on YouTube aren't very impressed.


    Granted I didn't go to the youtube site myself, but why did you assume the commenters were WoW players? They're obviously very disparaging to WoW players. Cause actual WoW players wouldn't have time to comment on YouTube, they're too busy playing WoW.

    Here's what I like:


    All the women on here going "hell, I'm hot." This makes me happy.

    For the record, the Horde drink pwns the Alliance drink. Just saying!

    @victoriasauce: I disagree. The Horde drink tastes like cough syrup and the Alliance is like amazing Hawaiian Punch (and I play a Tauren).

    @SovietBear: haha It's funny you say that because my first reaction was exactly the opposite. The Alliance drink reminded me of Halls cough drops.

    Note to my geek bretheren:


    The idea of two attractive women playing WoW may seen foreign, even suspicious, at first blush. The beauty of WoW is that you just never know. Besides... HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?!?!?!?! You've got your puffy butts stuck to your pleather gaming couches and your potato chip grease-stained hands are busy fingering your keyboard to download pr0n when you're not in WoW, while your mother pounds on your door and tells you to keep it down!


    Word of advice: best to be a fool and stay silent than speak and remove all doubt.


    Thank you.

    I don't think it's solely a stereotype of women, but of gamers in general. For every female gamer that is called ugly, a guy is being called "fat" or a "loser". It's pretty annoying either way.

    @cassis is a cereal girl: No kidding. I'm headed to the MTG PTQ in Indy tomorrow and I'm dreading being one of maybe a dozen women at the conference. At the Chicago regionals event, I was playing another woman (we were two of seven total, not counting non-playing girlfriends and moms) and MID-GAME her boyfriend leaned over and told us to "make out."

    @cassis is a cereal girl: The worst part was she was underestimating me, too! There was no sisterhood to be found! I was playing boat brew, but I got a few bad draws game 1 and had to mulligan to 5. Even then I had bad draws and wound up losing game 1. She then asked me, "are you new?" and "do you have enough lands in your deck?"


    She shut up after I ripped an austere command out from under a windbrisk to blow up all her borderposts and bury all her creatures. Pfft.

    Why do female video game characters always have enormous perky tits? As someone who played my fair share of video games growing up, i've noticed this a lot. Mostly for the newer games and not the old school Mario games.

    Next we'll be checking in with the IMDb commentators to see what they think about summer's movie releases (apparently they're all 'Gayyy!!1!!!').

    These are Youtube commenters. Youtube commenters.


    Seriously. They are generally known to have no useful input, and are only there to see who can write something the most annoying and/or offensive. Plus, this is a commercial featuring WoW. Who do you think is going to comment? /b/-tards.
