Ok, so at this point it should be clear that I both have ignored this thing completely for the last few months (or years, whatever), and have again decided that I should write. I've given up on the 'insightful-witty-analytical' intent I orginally had: I'm a college student and I have way more pressing issues than seeming like a lobotimized pacifist. For well or ill I exhibit the properties of neither, and I figure I shouldn't try to.

In related news, find Scottmale24 's comic. I'd link it but I can't remeber where it's hosted and don't recommend it for people who don't know what an imageboard is or have a propensity for depression.


I've gotten into webcomics lately- I'll link the ones have bookmaked but there are more. I've also been introduced to the Kingdom of Loathing. KoL is a text-based RPG where you mix cocktails and try to free the imprismed (yes, prism) King Ralph by defeating the Naughty Sorceress so you can do it all again. It's also, as far as I know, the only RPG that limits the time you can spend playing- your character gets 40 advntures per day, and when you pick it up you'll want more than that, trust me. You can drink booze and eat foods and other special items to gain turns, but only a certain amount depending on your skills. The six character classes work well with each other, and their summoning abilities keep the 3-billion-meat-per-day economy rolling right along. Yeah, meat- the currency and crafting are done with meat. The game's defining characteristic, is, though, its tongue-in-cheek humor. Almost every adventure, quest, occurence, item description, everything in-game has some sort of cultural reference to it. Some things are obscure to the point of not noticing them, but Jick (the creator hailed as a god among players) has a remarkable range of stuff programmed in. There's a site devoted to categorizing them all- the game has a huge fanbase. The game also has an (imho) awesome internet radio station via Shoutcast- Ashallond, Starkmoon, EyeSpeculum all are entertainers. EyeSpec's complete-words-to-songs ratio approaches 1 to 1.
