Quirky, stick-figure "Kingdom of Loathing" shows continued promise of independent game-writing.

An adventurer is me!

My entire life I have been one of those females who would respond to questions on the subject with a hasty "Oh,I dont play video games." Sometimes I would play cards ,a little Tetris ,even an occasional on-line spelling game like Boogle....but gaming was something my man and the kids spent their time on. I never understood the attraction and it was fine with me. I had books ,gardening and REAL world interests. Why would I ever want to get myself caught up in a fantasy? Why? Because I am a born Disco Bandit ,thats why. When I told my family that I had found a game online that they just had to check out I was greeted with polite replies that they would be sure and do so. "How nice you found a game you really like" I heard. Seriously, I should have known that I was not going to win them over with my endorsement. I had never even sat and played "Zelda" with them. They now have respect. My man may be more addicted than I. Both girls have accounts and many of their friends are now citizens of the "Kingdom". Me? I'm the most moxious mom in town. I am a PLAYER. I am Marlowe the disco bandit. The Kingdom of Loathing is a bright and shiny place and I thank you Jick (Zack) everyday for sharing the brilliance.

It's what real intellectual property looks like. I've got a 3d interactive movie log myself which is text based. That's just the way ip is - and it's closer to the original purpose of the internet among the universities.

I just have to let everyone who reads this know that KOL is THE best game I have ever played; hands-down. It's unbelievably addictive right from day one, and the community of players is great. I've been playing for seven months, every single day. (Barring my computer being down for a week). It's awesome and all should be a part of the Kingdom. Long Live Jick and KOL. Faile, Level 21 SealClubber.
