Onion unveils WoW expansion World of World of Warcraft

by Justin McElroy { Jun 11th 2008 at 1:58PM }

We hope developers learn a lesson from The Onion's above reveal of World of World of Warcraft, the new WoW expansion that lets you play as a player playing World of Warcraft. The educational take-away? It's all in the presentation. Sure, playing as a WoW-playing player is revolutionary, but if you don't have your keystroke sounds exactly right then who'll be around to experience it?

Also, big ups for the added layer of detail. Letting avatars call their virtual internet service provider when their virtual connection craps out? It's virtually genius.

Hahaha, that was actually pretty good.

"The graphics are amazing, uh they're revolutionary - When you're staring at the computer screen, you actually believe that you're in a dimly lit basement staring at a computer screen."

I want it. I actually felt like I was watching a guy believing he was in a dimly lit basement reading a terms of usage agreement. Brilliant!

Somehow reminds me of looking at the internet in GTAIV.

Since no one else will say it, I guess I'll have to.

The Onion is lame and that story was lame. They're like Mega64 except shitty and overpaid. Actually, they're nothing like Mega64, forget that. It's more like Mega64 and the Onion are on two sides of a spectrum. On one side is awesome, Mega64, and the other shit, the Onion.
