London mapped in Warcraft II style

Jeffrey sez, "Take a look at this map of London with a Warcraft II theme; I used GSS/Geographic Stylesheets and Cartagen to create a custom map style that displays the entire world as if it were a Warcraft II level. This was done to showcase the abilities of the dynamic mapping framework Cartagen, which is open-source and runs in HTML5's Canvas element. No Java or Flash!"

Warcraft map stylesheet for London (Thanks, Jeffrey!)

Let's make this a thread about the pros and cons of MMORPG respective to WoW again, shall we? That made for an interesting thread last time. Why do you play and/or why did you quit?

The underlying map data he used was from OpenStreetMap.

Chocolatey Shatner: it is illegal under the Terrorism Act to photograph, map, describe or discuss the City of London.
