Unexpected KoL messages

[lederhosen]

It's not just that KoL has a "vampire duck-on-a-string" as a weapon. It's that it produces hit messages like this one:

You dig through the ditches and burn through the witches and slam her in the back with your duckula, for 75 (+12) damage.

Edit: In other news, after having been told I'd get a second interview for the interesting-sounding job I applied for a few weeks back, have now been told that I won't after all because they've already picked somebody. *grumble*

Awesome! A bumper sticker and an obscure reference (dah widdew bunnies) clarified - in a single post! Having just loads of free time, I am sorely tempted to get sucked in to this witty fun; or is that all the free time I'm going to have if I start playing online games and not doing my work.

One mitigating feature of KoL is that it limits how much you can play in a day. You get a base of 40 'adventures' each day; you can add to that with things like the Girls of Loathing Wall Calendar and by eating and drinking (it's the only game I know where people value cooking skills as highly as combat, and where you can get Liver of Steel as a quest reward) but once you're full that's it. It can still take a fair bit of time, but at least it's limited.
