Monday: Kingdom of Loathing

Ben and I started playing Kingdom of Loathing (again). It's probably about the third time that we've started, but I also think it's the longest I've played it. One of the fun parts of it is the text that comes with the mobs. The other is that everything has a real-life reference. Below are some of the things I've fought in the last few days.




This is a play on Hello Kitty, the famous cat character created by the Japanese company Sanrio. "Iiti" is the ancient Egyptian word for "hello", making this an ancient Egyptian mummified version of Kitty, hence the mention of merchandise with her face on it.

The second part of the use message is a reference to the environmentalist cartoon Captain Planet and the Planeteers.

  • haxx0r = hack or hacker
  • 1337 = 'Leet' (as in an elite hacker)

PS: Should you consider playing the game there are two things to consider. 1) It's free and 2) the on-line wiki is a must use
