Warcraft restaurant opens in Beijing


Source: CCTV.com

A newly opened Beijing restaurant captures the trend. The
interior decoration of the place is inspired by one popular
online game.

The owner of the restaurant said he created the diner in the hope that people who share his enthusiasm for The World of Warcraft would find a comfortable gathering place.

In addition to the interior decoration, game features dominate
the menu selection. Diners choose from dishes named after
denizens of the virtual world.


I don't know much about Warcraft. I did hear that the government restricts parts of the game, like zombies and undead. Is that true?

Yes, the Chinese government did order the company offering WoW in China to cover up the undead. Seems wacky to me, but what do I know?

I think the Beijing WoW restaurant needs to have divided Horde and Alliance sections, and a middle part where the patrons can attack each other for control of the dessert cart. :D

This is interesting. I guess the culture of TV has spawned in the culture of videogames. Too much of anything probably isn't good haha

I wonder how they're food is?

Yeah, the chinese government doesn't allow pictures of skeletons.

They even asked them to remove them from the game, http://gaygamer.net/2007/07/china_demands_removal_of_skele.html
