QuoteCNN is reporting that China has over 3 million World of Warcraft players, compared to the US's 2 million.
Gentlemen, we have a WoW gap!

QuoteOur Nation could have afforded, and can afford now, the steps necessary to close the WoW gap.

By enlisting the aid of non-gamers and gamers alike, it is my firm belief that the missle gap can be closed.

Ask not what your country can do for WoW, but what WoW can do for your country.

QuoteDude. Think in terms of percentages of population.

China has well over 1 billion people, yet only have 3 million players?

QuoteThe New Frontier of WoW of which I speak is not a set of promises â,¬' it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them.

Even old people and females, the typical non-gamers, must direct their full efforts to this end.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure our survival and our success at WoW.

And if we don't do something NOW, they will have 30 million!  
Where are our European allies?  Less than a million players.  Come on, you Euros, we did not save you from the Nazis just to see you fall prey to China's legions of gamergeeks!

It is a shame they didn't let Sellers play the fourth role he was cast for.  It was given to Slim Pickens(who was awesome) at the last minute.

If you buy me the game, I shall play.  Until then however...

I have here in my hand a list of 205 names that were known to the Secretary of WoW as being members of the Anti-WoW Party and who, nevertheless, are still working and shaping policy in the WoW Department.

You sir, are an Anti-WoWist and a traitor.

What are you, HUAWoW?
Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away all of the lights
We've always been out of our minds

I can no longer sit back and allow WoW infiltration, WoW indoctrination, WoW subversion and the international WoW conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

I personally fail to see the point in playing WoW.  You pay money to get the game software, and then pay more money every month to keep playing.  And I get this horrible feeling that this is the new trend in gaming, and that Starcraft II and Diablo III are going to follow this pattern.
"Regardless of what happens, our lives are finite. We all know that we will grow old and that someday our lives will end. That's why we try so hard to live each day to the fullest. Thats why we keep stumbling on by trial and error. But it isn't just for ourselves, its so we can leave some signposts for the people following in our footsteps. To cowards who cling to where they are and who've given up on trying to move forward, theres no way to see how bright the future is, even though its just around the corner!"

Don't you see that if we don't stop the Red Menace on this gaming front, more games will begin to fall?

I personally object to monthly fees on a philosophical basis... but I can see why they are there.

But then again, 15 bucks a month is chump change. I'm a poor college student making 6000 a year and I don't even notice 15 bucks a month.

Wait...your a college student making 6 GRAND A YEAR?!?!!?  How the heck do you manage that?  I could upgrade my desktop in no time with that kind of money.
