This Makes How Many Posts? In One Day? WOW!
That's correct boys and girls. This is my third post of the day. Can you stand it? I'm a writing machine. Cool.
I come to tell you all about the greatest thing on the 'Net since sliced bread ( .com? -- oh, gosh, please don't let that be a real site. ) It's a little site called www.kingdomofloathing.com . It is funny and cute and too cool for ( many ) words. It's a game, sort of. It's a community, sort of. It is my kind of place, definitely. You can adventure ( for awhile ) without having anything much to say to anybody ( that isn't a computer construct --- otherwise known as an NPC ). Some of it is stupid. ( Most teenagers will love that part. ) Some of it could be a bit better. ( I'm no professional, so I won't give real thumbs down criticism of any particular part of the site, but you'll recognize it when you see it, and heck there isn't anyone doing anything better, so . . . even the bad bits aren't really bad. ) All in all it is creative and smart and wonderful. I just love it to pieces.
Yes, the graphics are crude. ( Hugely cute. ) Yes, the writing is flawed. ( But they ain't writing Shakespeare, folks. ) The ideas are neither crude nor flawed and it is chock full of ideas. ( I like to think that it's being run by a bunch of youthfully young teenishly twenty-somethings who'd otherwise be out running wild in the streets. ) Did I mention, I love this Thing? It's too much of everything to call it just a game or an Internet site or a community. It's a Thing. A good Thing. A hugely wacky, desperately geeky, wonderful Thing. ( And that's all I have to say about that. Until the next time I have something to say about it. At which point it'll probably be gone. --Sigh-- )
