Munchies:
Demonstrating a deep understanding of what its computer-gaming audience
wants, Sony has built the ability to order pizza into its latest online
multiplayer game.
Type the command "/pizza" while playing Everquest II, a fantasy game with
330,000 active players, and get the Pizza Hut website, where you can place
orders for delivery.
Sony (SNE) plans to integrate the pizza function more tightly into the game,
so players can charge pizza to their monthly game subscription bill.
Though the new pizza feature might satisfy appetites, caution is required as
the game doesn't pause while you're ordering.

=====================

So... when are they going to implement these commands?

/bathroom
/soda
/clean_my_messy_neglected_room
/shower
/laundry
/exercise
/frenzied_self_pleasure
/need_more_money_too_busy_playing_computer_games_for_a_job

(Feel free to add to this list)

/play_my_round_of_golf
/fix_meal
/take_out_trash

If they could just implement these and the ones you've mentioned, I
could spend many more hours in game.

As long as they actually learn to read and spell, it'll be better than
what we have now.

People who write things like "wat"(what) "neway"(anyway) and similar
abortions instead of proper english need to be beaten severely until
they stop.

If corporate primers will stop it, more power to them.

The problem with that is it's not a matter of not knowing, but a
matter of laziness combined with the delusion that it makes them look
"kewl". I only fear these becoming accepted norms
