Wow and CoD Featured on Southpark and the Office, respectively

It's been a big week for video games on network/cable tv this week.

First off, the tenth season of "Southpark" started by pwning kids getting sucked into World of Warcraft by using the four SP stalwarts as guineas pig (and, in fact, saving WoW from destruction at the hands of a fat, pimply, loser....by becoming the same type of person).

bOING bOING has more coverage.

I'm fairly sure this is the first time machinima has been used in a major animated sitcom.

Then last night we were treated to the joys of multi-player Call of Duty on "the Office" as Jim tried to fit in with the crazy cats at corporate.

TV Squad has more coverage of the episode.
