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.

Observation Post: Who [in the world] Killed Captain Alex?!

Into the mind of Chance Carantes

Who Killed Captain Alex is Uganda’s first ever action film (as far as I know).

It incorporates cut pieces of metal molded to look like guns, and totally awesome actors. You could hear some laughter in the background too.

Some of the scenes (like a scene where a chopper destroys buildings by sitting on it) were totally outrageous (and after the building “collapsed”, the fire stayed in the sky; this totally defies the laws of physics). Another [ridiculous] scene happens when the man in the helicopter shoots the ground with an AK. I mean, why would you do that? Don’t military choppers have guns mounted already? And besides, who’s driving the chopper? There was this one fighting scene which involved some people fighting in a building. When, suddenly, the helicopter “demolishes” the roof by once again sitting on it.

Some weird things are how they edited the blood when people get shot. It looks like fluffy cotton candy coming out of weird holes. Another “weirdness” are the explosions. Basically, it looks completely computer-work, and the explosions do completely no damage to any surroundings. Though it isn’t the best movie out there, it was still a good try from the Ramon Film Production to create an action film in a country where it had never been done before.

And in the end you got to ask, Who Killed Captain Alex?
