According to CCTV.com there is a new restaurant that just opened in Beijing. Not just any restaurant mind you, it's a World of Warcraft themed establishment. The owner hopes to create an atmosphere that fans of the game will find comfortable. I suppose it makes sense to reward a hard day at the gold farming sweatshop with a delicious meal that offers nostalgic reflections about the work day. I wonder if you can pay for your meal with in-game gold.

The restaurant's entrance is a real-life re-creation of the opening animation from the game, The World of Warcraft. The dining area is called the Hall of Snow Storms." Here, an immense plasma screen displays action from the game. There's a towering tree at the center of the dining "portal," creating a pleasing ambiance for leisurely diners. Most patrons are fans of the multi-player game.

The video that CCTV published in conjuncture with the news article is a must see. What do you guys think about this? Let us know in our forums.
