World of Warcraft

Hated by: Staff Contributor Tyler Nagata

MMORPG = Mostly Men Online Role-Playing as Girls. With over five million users worldwide, World of Warcraft can boast a virtual population that rivals the city of Los Angeles, California. With such a large pool of players, you can count on meeting your fair share of soon-to-be-divorced husbands masquerading as sexy Night Elves as they swan and swoon over flirtatious 16-year-old boys plying their cybersex skills for some spare gold.

When you're not competing with farmers - players who repeatedly kill the same monsters over and over again to sell gold and items online - you can always brush up on your l337 speak by tuning in to the general chat channel for some of the worst internet arguments of all time.

PlayerA: OMG ony wtf pwnd us 4 teh tenth time
PlayerB: STFU u noob
PlayerA: /cry

Translation:
PlayerA: Oh my god, Onyxia has defeated our group ten times and I've lost 8 hours of my life.
PlayerB: Shut the f*ck up you loser.
PlayerA: I am crying because you are right.

Above: A sultry elf. About a million little icons on the screen. Pages of tedious text. Do we have to explain why you should hate this game?

If you manage to find a group of like-minded friends and form a guild, you can look forward to six-hour marathons and repeated deaths as you attempt to conquer the game's hardest dungeons in 40-man raid groups. Frustration from repeated failures in these epic dungeon trips will eventually turn you and your friends against each other before your guild dissolves and joins the ranks of other burnt out crusades.

"Make sure to invest in a headset, so you can listen to insults fly as tempers flare in the never-ending online drama that is World of Warcraft." - Tyler
