What is this? This is Kingdom of Loathing. It is an online game which has put such a dent in my personal productivity that both alcohol and online porn are insanely jealous.
You can find the game in the link at the top of this post. The game is free; it is fun; and the people who run it may or may not be completely and utterly insane. My character’s name is Groovius Maximus, and I am a member of Clan Newsarama. Currently I am a Pastamancer, but I will switch back to being a Disco Bandit before Crimbo starts.
Odds are, you have no clue what I just said. Pastamancers and Disco Bandits are two of the six classes of characters that you can play on the game. The others are: Seal Clubbers, Turtle Tamers, Accordian Thieves, and Saucerors. Each class has its own special attributes and are ruled by one of the stat categories: Muscle, Mysticality or Moxie. The game itself is free, and you earn items by defeating monsters such as Hippy Shaman, Beer-Bongadiers, Vampire Ducks, Furry Giants, the Twig and Berries, the Muff, the Whitesnake, and various other creepies, crawlies, ghoulies and sleazies. The currency for the Kingdom is meat…but you cannot eat the meat. You can only collect it to help maintain the wonderful market-based economy.
You can eat; however. That is one of the ways to get more adventures. The other is to drink as much booze as possible without passing out.
If you decide to check it out, send a message to “Groovius Maximus” and I’ll send you a welcoming gift.
