I recently purchased World of Warcraft (Great Game) and I was wondering if I could use some kind of cable to have the game run through my TV. There is no S-video in the back of my Imac so do I need a Usb-svideo cable??? I have a wireless keyboard and mouse so i think this would be really cool on my big screen. Please help.

You need an Apple Video Adapter

You plug the adaptor into the computer, then plug the composite or s-video cable into the adaptor and the other end into the TV. The iMac will recognize the TV and the TV will mirror the display on the iMac.

Note that the game will look real bad on your TV b/c it is only VGA quality. Besides that, most of the TV's in peoples living rooms (mine included) are of worse image quality than VGA so all the real swell graphics in the game turn to mud.
