Dat wrath.

So this is the age we live in -- Maine state Senate candidate Colleen Lachowicz is an avid World of Warcraft player, and she's catching all kinds of hell for it from her Republican opponents.

Lachowicz is being called out for her "time-consuming double life," and her opposition has even gone so far as to dig up forum posts that are proof of her "crude, vicious, and violent" behavior.

Putting aside Lachowicz' actual legitimacy as a candidate for a minute, what's notable is the way political vetting has extended to the virtual world -- should politicians be forced to maintain constant professionalism online, or should the public forgive this sort of behavior?

Sure, maybe you're done with World of Warcraft. It's understandable. In fact, you might not even like a single game from Blizzard.

A contestant on the UK game show World Series of Dating, known as "Nervous Marcus" by the show's hosts, surprised everyone when he and his blind date hit it off over World of Warcraft.

She shyly confesses that she plays WoW, and then he drops the bomb that he used to be in one of the game's top guilds, Method.

Marcus: "Are you, like, 85?"

His date: "Obviously."

Ladies love gnome rogues. Who knew?
