What else have I been up to? I've been playing
The Kingdom of Loathing... a lot. Much more than my patient wife should tolerate.
A revealing part of my personality is how addicted I can get to trivial personal challenges. An obvious example is computer gaming, of any flavour. I must beat them. Revealing of what - I couldn't say: Feel free to add a comment with your theories.
Another example is my irrational determination to find the answer to any trivial question that passes through my skull. Anything. Anything I want to know, I must know. The internet is a vast library of good answers to dumb questions.
Never the less, I continue to play the games.
The Kingdom of Loathing, as well as appealing to my belligerent sense of "there really is something brilliant just around the corner" has the added benefit of being very funny.
You wander around this little world, gather various useful items, and fight various monstors (today I ran into a topiary golem who beat me down). My Kentucky Fried crossbow and my Howling Balloon Monkey familiar were not strong enough to kill it, and my sticky meat pants and hobo gloves (with immunity to stench attack) were no bloody help.
