This would actually be a funny shareware game, a sort of “SimNerd” thing; manage a guy through playing a lot of WoW without actually dying of malnutrition, smelling so bad his parents kill him, or losing his job at Blockbuster. It would be set in a parents’ basement, of course; you could buy items like “Wrath of Khan” posters and porn mags. ---

[QUOTE=Gangster Octopus] Check it out! [World of World of Warcraft](http://www.theonion.com/content/video/warcraft_sequel_lets_gamers_play) [/QUOTE] Someone ought to make that, but have it automated and turn it into a Progress Quest sequel.
