If you didn’t know you can watch full episodes of the television show South Park at South Park Studios. Some people find the comedy of that animated show very crude, but bear in mind it is a two-time Emmy Award-winning show.
There are 2 episodes in particular that really nail it when it comes to tech.
Make Love, Not Warcraft
Description: The boys dedicate their lives to defeating a mad gamer and saving the World of Warcraft.
If you’re a gamer at all, you know this episode and have probably seen it a few times. It shows the lifestyle of “basement dweller” gamers and what happens when you have a full blown gaming addiction.
This episode also has the distinction of introducing the phrase “How can you kill that which has no life?” (in reference to people who “have no life” so to speak).
In addition, this episode did win a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour).
Over Logging
Description: One day the citizens of South Park wake up and find the internet is gone. When Randy hears there may still be some internet out in California, he packs up his family and heads west.
This episode raises up a very important point. Can people function without internet? Is it that integrated into our society that we simply can’t live without it?
Dave (the boss of PCMech) actually recommended this one to me. He personally found it funny that “the internet” is depicted as a huge Linksys router.
