Huh. I find myself miffed that they included WoW and not EQ. I know, I know, we can make arguments about WoW's mass appeal, etc. But it seems to me that EQ really paved the way for WoW in ways that UO, for example, didn't. As I say, I'm just miffed.

Yeah, that was my reaction, too.

If you're going to honor WoW over EQ in a Hall of Fame, why select Pong instead of Breakout, or Doom over Quake?

After looking at the list of finalists, we can't be certain Everquest was nominated. I think we need more transparency on the selection process for this particular Hall of Fame.

Ehh...you all know the saga of KISS and the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame, right?

Religious conservatives weren't ready for the Knights In Satan's Service to be honored as immortal rock and roll legends. They still aren't, there just aren't as many of them anymore, and so Satan finally won.
