 I enjoyed it as well....very humerous, and speaking from someone that has done alot of forum rpgs, chat, and even PC game rpgs I can saftely say that many of the jokes on here are very relatable. And the sideplot was good too, who would of thought that Lisa would be even more sneakier than the infamous Jessica Lovejoy  (Helen-"Come on, save our failed marriage!") even the whole "random guest star popping out of nowhere" joke seemed to make sense.

And Homer doing the Mia Hamm scene plus that one guy who headbutt the other player was priceless.

What was that guy's name?

Anyway, the point is this episode more than made up for "Romeo-old" in my opinion.

Hmmm...It seems we got two episodes for the price of one tonight. 

If I had to pick a word to describe tonight's episode, I would have to say it was "disjointed."  First, we had the main plot of Marge getting online with the MMORPG (which seems as highly unlikely an activity as Marge could ever pick).  The bits were funny for the most part, though I couldn't help picturing the writers in the writing room saying, "Hey, South Park did a "World of Warcraft" episode!  Let's try that!"  Next thing you know, Skinner will be getting a sex change operation (aaaaaaggghhhh...).

In Episode B (which isn't even introduced until after the first commercial break), we had Lisa taking up soccer.  Homer does something to incur Lisa's rancour, though, it's not really clear what it is other than Homer just being Homer.  So he becomes a referee in her League and calls fouls on everyone except Lisa.  A soccer player I've never heard of has a cameo.  Everything is tied together in the last five seconds of the episode.

It seems to me that the writers had two good (or one good and one mediocre) episode ideas, but couldn't flesh either out to 22 minutes.  So they just melded the two together and threw in some jokes about genitals. 

Grade: C-

Not having seen a good and decent NEW Simpsons episode for a while, (24 mins was an exception) I thought that this was fairly decent material and a good poke at the MORPG Games that we internet fans love. I did like Marge's character (the elfine woman) and the Shadow-Knight Bart though (hey, I like his ponytail! Cool ) Although some jokes seemed pretty bland, like the one where Skinner's character was a Cocktrice and the 'Hello Kitty' bedroom pack...
