Oh that seanbaby, so funny yet so true. I've seen videos on WoW and this pretty actuality describe the WoW community. At least the ones I've seen.

Can't connect to Cracked at the moment. Seems as though they are having a server issue... or my connection is messed up.

That's odd, i was just there 2 minutes ago and now i'm having the same problem.

I checked, seanbaby's article is down for some reason, sorry Sad

Don't worry about it. Considering the amount of hits that site gets it shouldn't be too long before it is back up again. Smile

So the page is working now? I checked through the link i posted, even though it was the one listed in the address bar, there must have been a glitch because it's not working still. And i also checked Seanbaby's column and two other articles are down, i'm assuming his whole column is experiencing technical difficulties right now.

Sounds just about right.

I think he got it wrong. As many problems as the game has, you would be surprised at how often you can get a 40 man group coordinated effectively.

I think the ultimate problem for the game and the one he didn't really mention is that even if you get your prize its still basically a night job to get anywhere in it. So that even if you're peeved that you didn't save the princess in SMB for example you still get the enjoyable platforming experience. The journey in WoW is boring, so it basically relies on the illusion of progress or status for its continued player base.

I really don't like his writing style. I think I would have enjoyed the same article if it were written by someone else.

I didn't care for it.

He implies that WoW players never get laid(wouldn't know what a condom looks like) and other such things and then adds later "...one of them is you're girlfriend bitching..." that seems a bit contradictory.

I've heard great things about Seanbaby, yet have not really enjoyed any of his articles so far. Some have been decent but no where near the praise led me to believe.

I have played WoW, it's fun for a week then get's old. From his article I would wager he hasn't really played it much if at all.

I get a kick out of seanbaby mainly because many of his jokes seem to come out of nowhere and still connect with the article, kind of like Syd. Oh and it's good to see the page is working now.

I like Seanbaby's writing but this article wasn't that funny.

Looks like Sean got some hatemail over this one (shocking, I know) and wrote a sequel: explaining hatemail through Pac-Man:

Personally I found this one quite a bit funnier. He's a bit over the top with his insults imho, but the Pac-Man graphics alone are worth it.

I just read that today, i was going to post it but it was more of an internet 'haters' article that didn't relate to video games. Your right, he seemed to be in a bit of a heated rant mood that makes about as much sense as 'The Amateur Communicator'. Then again i see comments like that on most any website, namely youtube. I bet half the people who send the hate mail would never say shit about him to his face because their animaty is their only source of invincibility. I also guess most of them don't give a shit about WoW and simple wanted to piss him off. I figured with all the years hes had as a humor article writer, he would let shit some sociopath 5th grade said roll of his back.

While i found the article amusing i am a bit disappointed in him.
