The World Outside of World of Warcraft is Now Superfluous

By John Farrier in Toys on May 11, 2009 at 6:40 pm

Gamers at MIT have built a self-contained life pod in which to play World of Warcraft. It features a built-in toilet, three days worth of food rations, fresh water, and a small cookstove. Thanks to these Prometheuses among us, it is no longer necessary to go outside or interact with people face-to-face. Truly, we live in an age of marvels.

    This is truly PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    MIT???? WTF???? These social retards are obligated to be make our lives better by finding ways to better it not defeat it by creating a stupid fucking HUT so anti-social morons can hide out cause they cant function in the REAL WORLD. HELLO …WAKE UP AND ASK A GIRL OUT YOU DOUCHE BAG. It really freaks me out that these people jerk off in front of a computer when the could get the BALLS to do it with a human. I am so disgusted with these people. Is this really Drawinism.? NOPE

    @Anthony vERBICK: It’s Drawinism in the initial sketching phase.

    It should have a self combustion button too, so when the person dies they can be instantly cremated. What I’m saying, is they should kill themselves for this.

    I agree with Anthony, people do need to get the courage to masturbate with another human.

    @Anthony vERBRICK

    I’m confused by your comment. What is a “girl”? Is that something like a drow elf? ‘Cause those things are dangerous.

    Where can I find some of these social retards? My guild is having quite the time getting enough people together just to go raid Naxx. Stupid guildies with their lives and marriages and children and such. No commitment, I tell ya.

    Kelthuzad (Horde)
    Khadgar (Alliance)

    I pretty much only play Khadgar when Kelthuzad goes down.

    It’s only a small step from this to being plugged into the matrix and being harvested for energy.
