Observation Post: Loath-Bread (Bad Puns and Kingdom of Loathing)

Into the mind of Chance Carantes.

For those who are too lazy to read, here is the gist:

IT’S A GOOD GAME, WHY DON’T YOU TRY IT?

Have you ever played a game that involves stickmen? Well, probably not, but I have. It is called {Superfluously long drumroll}

………………………………….K…………………O………………………….L…..........

Which stands for Kingdom of Loathing. Yes, that’s right, kingdom of hating.

Simplicity at its best.

The Pictures of all items are stripped down to the most basic drawings; it is not colored, not edited in the computer. It seems that the first drawing is the final drawing. This game uses parodies of popular songs, quotes etc. and messes up some (many) words (like instead of zombie, you get zmobie or instead of bonedragon, you get bonerdagon).

Your objective of the game is to rescue King Ralph from the Naughty Sorceress, but you have to finish a lot of quests before you can unlock this final quest and achieve ascension. After ascension, you have to choose how you want to live your new life like choosing a new class and so on.

There are many classes like the Turtle Tamer, a muscle based character; Pastamancer, a mysticality based character; Disco Bandit, a moxie based character, so on and so forth. You start with 4 locations in which you can travel, but after completing tasks, you can unlock new levels of this outrageously interesting game. There is also a PVP (player versus player) option in which you can battle other players, but first you have to break that bloody hippy stone in you campground. There are also clans that you can join, and these clans yield rewards, like more meat (game’s currency) and the basement (I’ll leave this for you to figure out). So if you play this game, it would be beneficial to join a clan, especially the rich and popular clans.

I would recommend you to try this browser-based RPG game. It’s a completely different genre. It’s interesting, it is witty, and it is many more good things.
