Talking mainly about MMORPG's such as WoW & Second Life, but it gives a mention of Habbo Hotel and shows you a bit of it.

I know it's not exactly groundbreaking, but I just thought i'd share if none have you had seen it.

Yah I did say it's not exactly groundbreaking stuff.

But it's nice to see Habbo being compared somewhat with MMO's like WoW & Second life isn't it?

Even though WoW iz liek teh pwnage'n'stuff

I wouldn't say having Habbo in that video was a good thing for the game. It suggested that it was more of a scam to get children to spend money than a game with a good community.

Look dont take this the wrong way but habbo is kinda pathetic spending money on virtual furniture and im a hipocrit as id spent £200+ up until i got hacked :(
Ill admit i enjoyed it while i had ma stuff but £200 dow drain is disgusting!
