161: Stumbling Into the Kingdom of Loathing

[AboveUp]

hey, did you know KoL also has a free, awesome shoutcast radio station that can provide you with contest and music to adventure to, and the twice a week show with any number of the devs, their friends, countrymen, and women, that wasn't mentioned in the article? It's here: www.radio-kol.net!). It would just crash, but at least it would be a safe crash and wouldn't harm the plane.

I absolutely love KoL radio. Some of the weird random stuff they do there is just hilarious.
Not too long ago one guy actually played an episode of Freakizoid in his show, he played 5 minutes of the episode every now and then, giving us stupid cliffhangers like "Who is in that car? Find out after the next couple of song!".

The chat is great too, as long as you don't ask for help, since nobody is allowed to give any.

I have been an on/off KoL player for about a year and this review has just giving me a craving for it

I am, and it makes me seriously consider getting an ipod stylus. But I've got problems with all websites, my fingers are pretty big..

Hit me up at Tunerlord666. I've been playing KoL since Nov 2004, and it's one of the best games I've ever played. I suggest anyone who likes fun should play this game.

Allright, I'm going to follow the way of ViranethXeres and post my username: RuroRemy, just send me a message or something. I'm in hardcore, so I can't send anything at the moment.

yeah, other than the sizing issues it's pretty sweet. now i visit the Kingdom of Loathing everytime i'm in the crapper. it's kind of like Narnia but with a toilet.

Oh boy, KoL. I have played it on and off for a long time. Now I am off, and I don't think I will ever play it seriously again, but it's cool. I have about 7 million meat from drawing pictures though if I ever go on I will slowly (or maybe quickly) gamble it away and if I don't log on my account will go away :{

Great article on a fantastic little slice of gaming satire. I waste almost as much time there as I do on WoW.

I'm a huge fan of this game, so it's nice to see it mentioned. A gamer is me!

I love the kingdom of loathing! I'm on my third run as a boozefettarian and am currently level 23, under the username EmpireFFF.

I had an account back when I was a poor college student. Now I'm an unemployed poor college graduate, but at least I'm getting payed for being unemployed, so I plan on donating for that permanent account. I haven't played in so long that a lot will be new to me once more!

 

[thiosk]

I have an account. I think I will see if it still exists...

 

[ghalkhsdkssakgh]

Woo! Kingdom of Loathing! My favourite online game ever, and I've been playing for less than half a year. The sense of humour is incredible, and it's great fun telling someone that you've just come back from a day of Pastamancery.

Oh, oh my.

I had no idea KoL was so popular here, and I had practically forgotten all about it.
Seriously, why can't everyone go through a literacy test before being allowed to write anything?
Cheers, thanks for reminding me of some class A gaming.
Maybe I still have my account..?
