Old one here.

So, it seems that Mr. Skullhead, one of KoL's "founding fathers", has started work on a comic book with webcomic artist Doug Kallberg, and while the first issue isn't out yet, what's there so far is pretty awesome. Check out the progress here.

Also, my alt is a bad person, spending all her money on booze.

But this is KoL thread 2, not 11!

Because his alt's entire reason for being is to get so drunk the drunkenness counter rolls over. And see at what point that is, if ever.

It's KoL thread II.

I was going to say "it's eleven in base 2" but then I realized a) it would actually be twenty and b) nobody does jokes in base 2.

Roark Desmond Jaffar · « **Reply #6 on:** July 28, 2011, 01:15:47 am »

And I'm going to say that...

...this was a complete coincidence. Makes it more amusing, though!

This would be more like the 4th thread or 5th, actually.

Also give me suggestions to fix the random names (AKA most of them) :<

WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?!

I kid.

If Archie can make a decent Mega Man comic, these guys can make a KoL comic.

I mean hell it's being written by one of the guys behind KoL itself. So I'm sure it will be made of the awesome we all know and love~

I wonder if it's possible to get the 69-dollar sketch to be a short comic instead of a normal picture...I have an idea I'd like to see drawn.

Garlyle · « **Reply #11 on:** August 04, 2011, 05:44:36 am »

Still going~ 8D

I recently finished my last Bad Moon run and simultaneously got the Wrong Place At The Right Time trophy (for defeating every nemesis in order) so now I'm back to normal runs and yay familiars and CONTENT and... me levelling up slower in Hardcore than I was in Bad Moon what is this.

Takamachi Ruroha · « **Reply #12 on:** August 08, 2011, 04:23:40 am »

My god, me and my brand-new Rogue Program are getting along splendidly~

Roark Desmond Jaffar · « **Reply #13 on:** August 16, 2011, 02:34:29 pm »

For those who haven't already seen it, the new seasonal challenge -- Way of the Surprising Fist -- is up! In this challenge, you cannot equip weapons or off-hands, cannot autosell items or pull meat from Hagnk's (even in softcore), donate any meat you get from items to charity, and receive drastically reduced meat drops in combat.

Day 2 of my Hardcore run of this is today, without Kung Fu Hustler...let's see how it goes.

Takamachi Ruroha · « **Reply #14 on:** August 22, 2011, 07:47:12 pm »

You know what's fun? Taking full advantage of Dependence Day festivities to use the according 100% bonuses to stats and using it to clear a whole bunch of bosses at once.

Garlyle · « **Reply #15 on:** August 23, 2011, 11:02:08 am »

Oh god I generate like 200 turns a day now what is this nonsense D:

Uh, on another note though, THE TRAVELLING TRADER IS IN TODAY. The item is a consumable that gives you a total of 20 potions - each gives 30 turns of +Noncombat, +Combat, or +15 Monster Level. Because of this, I think most of us won't find it that useful. On the other hand, speedplayers are abuzz with excitement over the idea, since you really only have to pull a single one to get some massive bonuses - and so it's potentially going to become a major item for optimal players.

A major item that is in ultimately limited supply.

Fate Matsyrossa · « **Reply #16 on:** August 23, 2011, 03:53:10 pm »

I didn't think any of them looked that interesting, myself-- but I'm gonna grab some of these for the sake of selling later. ^^

Takamachi Ruroha · « **Reply #17 on:** August 23, 2011, 04:39:35 pm »

Aye, this is a one-time-only sorta thing. For me, this is a good enough reason to kick reason to the curb and load up.

Lecithul · « **Reply #18 on:** August 23, 2011, 07:57:34 pm »

Ooh, thanks for the heads-up. *goes to invest all his meat in it*

On another note, I did my first 4-day (first sub-1000 turns too!) HC run a few days ago!

Good on you! I myself just broke the prism on the shortest run I've had so far-- 18 days. I know it's not exactly that short, but it feels positively speedy to me!

Gonna kick around for a few more days and then do an AT HC run, I think. To prep for the seasonal challenge.

Dammit. I shouldn't have forgotten to pick up extras.

The Herculossal · « **Reply #22 on:** August 27, 2011, 03:11:17 am »

I honestly got the one I had just to resell, really.

Garlyle · « **Reply #23 on:** August 27, 2011, 05:47:52 am »

I bought like 10. And am going to wait a bit

In other news yay I have entered Fistcore. It's... really, really easy, what the hell.

Conqueror · « **Reply #24 on:** August 27, 2011, 10:11:31 am »

Well that makes me feel a lot better for using all my available funds towards buying chemistry sets. Reminds me of when I did the same with anticheese back when they cost <1k.

The Herculossal · « **Reply #26 on:** August 27, 2011, 02:55:33 pm »

Chemistry set sold for 65000 Meat. That should probably be enough to fund my future endeavors for a little while.

Lecithul · « **Reply #27 on:** August 27, 2011, 07:39:28 pm »

I bought 74.

Just finished my Fist run today. Best thing about Fistcore:

Screw you, I don't wanna farm a pygmy blowgun. HADOUKEN

Takamachi Ruroha · « **Reply #28 on:** August 27, 2011, 09:45:53 pm »

I bought eleven.

Don't intend to sell anytime soon, though. Like the CRIMBCO manuals, those are gonna go in my attic/museum collection.

As soon as I can, I'm gonna finish this run so I can work on Fistcore. It looks awesome.

Garlyle · « **Reply #29 on:** August 28, 2011, 10:35:13 am »

...okay seriously. Minus the meat penalties, Fistcore is stupidly ezmodo. It's even better if you're a Disco Bandit/Accordion Thief, since it [spoilers]hands you really effective combat skills for 0 MP for minimum effort, meaning no need for muscle or mysticality when you can focus on moxie and dodge everything and then kill it.[/spoiler]

Seriously, minus a couple parts where it is an unfortunate disadvantage to not be able to use a weapon (and they are rare)... it really is pretty easy.
