More creepy

melliciousI am newly obsessed - again - with Kingdom of Loathing (known by certain people on TUS as "Kingdom of Creepy" mostly because game-talk, as I'm about to amply demonstrate, doesn't exactly sound like English). Jick (finally) implemented Ascension, the long-promised new content. It involves completing the last quest, which involves battling your way up the Lair of the Naughty Sorceress, defeating her and freeing the King, and then you are rewarded with access to a portal which you can jump through to Valhalla. Once you get tired of Valhalla (which takes about a minute and a half, Valhalla is excruciatingly boring - I assume that's deliberate!), you can ascend - be reincarnated as a new character. There are different paths you can take, and you can choose a new character class and keep one skill from your old class.
The Sorceress Quest turns out to be pretty difficult, even with spoilers. I have two characters, and I've gotten one character through it, but I'm still working on the other one. Since they are different classes it takes different equipment, and I still haven't hit on the right combination of stuff for my Disco Bandit! (Any tips on that would be greatly appreciated.) Ascension, once you've managed to get there, turns out to be surprisingly fun. I did "softcore" ascension for my primary character, which means you have limited access to your stash of stuff, but if I ever get my DB past the Sorceress, I think I'm going to go all the way and do hardcore.
In other news, we went to see "Mr and Mrs Smith" this afternoon. It was very fluffy but fairly fun. (A little too long, was our main gripe.) And the Astros actually managed a sweep this weekend, of the Blue Jays, who had previously been playing pretty well. Next they have Baltimore, on the road, which should be a little more difficult.

Date: 2005-06-12 09:36 pm (UTC)I actually was asked out to see "Mr and Mrs Smith" over the weekend, but I refused, being too tired to be among people or follow anything.
I wish I could play, I so wish, but even solitaire seems to be asking for too much concentration and mind power lately - I open it on desktop, start and get too tired to finish it. I would be so much happier person if I could play, instead of sending letters everyone hates.
