It was difficult to pry myself away from World of Warcraft. It’s simply impossible for me to play the thing casually. It eventually came down to an all-or-nothing deal, and so I had to shelve the thing so that I could move on to other games. I could have done a ten-part comic series on the game, but there are limits to my self-indulgence. With uncharacteristic restraint, I’m packing a few of the unused ideas into a three part series, and letting the rest go.
This is my extended farewell to the game: Azeroth Travelogue, Part 1.

Why Batman Can't Kill
His problem isn't that he's dumb, the problem is that he bends the world he inhabits.
Linux vs. Windows
Finally, the age-old debate has been settled.
What Does a Robot Want?
No, self-aware robots aren't going to turn on us, Skynet-style. Not unless we designed them to.
