Raging Fury - View Single Post - How commercial is online gaming in your country?

In the US, I can't remember seeing any TV adds for WoW, but it must be a big enough part of the culture because it shows up in places like 2-3 commercials for other products that I've seen, and an entire episode of a popular TV show (South Park). I'd guess that most of the shows viewers have played WoW before or at least know ppl who play and know the stereotypes and such. The commercials seem weird, but I guess not so much since teen agers walk around actually saying shit like "W T F" or even "L O L" now.

Of course WoW is it for RPGs, but there's plenty of adds for other online games, shoot em ups like halo, sports games, etc.
