It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Most people have probably seen it, but it's based on a hilarious Youtube show called 'The Guild', about MMO guild members meeting in real life.

A lot of the games in that list should be pointed out for popularising already existing game genre's. Wolfenstein did not invent First Person Shooting. WOW was not the first popular MMORPG. Etc.

Breakthroughs though, you can't say they weren't.
Although I do wonder why Zelda is so high in there. And GTA. And that there's no Civilization in that list.

Because zelda is freaking awesome! At least the NES and SNES versions. I never got a nintendo 64, so my zelda adventure was discontinued 
One of the things that bugs me with wow these days is that everyone refers to it as being the holy bible of mmo gaming since its birth. These are people who probably joined late, or are just slighty retarded.
The fact is that in the beta and for most of the first year, wow was buggy and had very little content for lategame. Yet, every new mmo become judged to how wow is NOW and not how it was when it just started.
Good day to you all!

Well, of course WoW raised expectations - after all, the lessons Blue had to learn along the way are freely available to new developers. The game evolved tonnes. It's really come a long way since Elwynn Forest's "Kill X of Y and bring me Z bear asses" quest format in WotLK, and Cataclysm will, as far as I can tell right now, absolutely overshadow Wrath. It's the most massive expansion they ever did. I doubt they could squeeze more out of the ancient engine.
The problem of new MMOs is that they make too much hype around themselves before launch, aspiring to be the "WoW Killers", at which they fail miserably. Others are really niche products.
As a side note, I like how Blue addressed the housing requests lately: "Housing will be introduced to WoW some time right after "never"."

My brother bought a real copy of StarCraft II. I would like to play it on my laptop against him or campaign. I have no interest in playing online against others really. This BattleNet account and activation shit is profoundly retarded/potentially evil and prevents us from enjoying the game as it should be enjoyed.
Is there a way I can get the offline content to work? I don't want to pay 50 some dollars just for an activation code and duplicates of the physical objects, when my brother and I already have the legitimate copy in our hands here.

After you activate the game initially you can choose to play offline (campaign or vs AI, I believe). However, there is no LAN multiplayer option; the only way to play against someone else is for each person to own the game and have an individual Battle.net account.
It certainly is a far cry from the original StarCraft that could install spawn copies of the game to play multiplayer. Blizzard is just going a different direction now. You gotta pay to play.
EDIT: Also, although I really agree with you, the physical game is meaningless. You paid for a license to play the game, not a disc full of data, and the license agreement states that it can be used by a single person, blah, blah, blah. I agree with you that it's ridiculous, but that is the legal reality.

you can install the game multiple times, I believe. my memory's fuzz y on exactly how much you need to do to activate the game battle.net-wise.
I DO know that once you have the game installed, every time it loads you are prompted to log onto battle.net IF you choose to play offline instead, you'll be able t play the campaign/skirmish, but your stats won't be boosted and you will not be able to unlock achievements. Also, i'm not sure how the patching will work.
hmm, come to think of it, your brother CAN probably use his CD-key to install on your PC and activate the game, but once again, multiplayer is now routed exclusively through battle.net.

You should be able to install, though you'll have to share the account your brother has.
