Random Things
Just some random stuff for you to check out...
Kingdom of Loathing: This is an addictively Silly (yes, it deserves a capital S) web-based role-playing game. It has the basic RPG format, like Hit Points and magic, but with insane details. The character classes range from Disco Bandit to Seal Clubber, and you can work on skills such as cocktail-crafting and meatsmithing (this is making items out of the game's currency: meat.) Everything is drawn in stick-figure format, which adds to the silliness. Some of the notable monsters I've encountered so far are Briefcase Bats (a briefcase with bat wings) and Cans of Asparagus. Tons of pop culture and obscure references everywhere. Also, the game is turn-based, and you only get a certain amount of turns per day, so you can't waste all of your time on it!
The Darth Side: Someone who watched the Star Wars movies way too many times came up with this hilarious blog. Its Darth Vader's day-to-day musings on his pursuit of the Rebel Alliance. Funny stuff, especially the parts where he complains about his leg.
Thats all for now. My sleeping schedule is still a little, um, strange. Right now I am trying to stay awake long enough to watch the first Cubs vs. Red Sox game since the 1918 World Series. The only problem is that I've been up since 5pm yesterday, so I'll be knocking on the door of 24hours awake.
Gotta go, The Price is Right is coming on......
