I'm not really in the loop as far as that discussion goes, so trying to piece together what the heck they're talking about is a bit difficult. Help? By the way, are you really in Osaka as your IP suggests? I'm just curious -- I don't think I have many readers in Japan! Oppa,

Even non-gamers may have run into people who played WoW, since online gaming has penetrated the culture much more thoroughly over there than in the US even. (And I know people of both genders who would never play D&D or most computer games but who spend loads of time playing WoW...)
