Recently, we were given a board-game version of the World of Warcraft. It looked interesting and we decided to give it a go over the Christmas break.

Jaysus! It took us almost 2 hours to set the damn thing up and an hour or so later, I was mightily relieved to be eliminated from the game as my last hero bit the dust. I’m the first to admit that I’m hardly Mr Patient and the game is obviously complex, which means that it takes a while to get used to, but even so…

WoW is no doubt a great computer game, but I’ve resolved never to go near the board game version again if I can possibly avoid it!

On the plus side…

Thanks to StumbleUpon, I found a great website called www.xkcd.com, which has a brilliant collection of weird and surreal comic strips…and this one reminded me of the WoW board game.

There are plenty of other laugh-out-loud strips (and not a few: “eh?” strips too). Why not check it out for yourself and post a few links to your favs.
