Kingdom of Loathing @ Coldfront http://kol.coldfront.net 2009-11-07T18:18:24+01:00 http://kol.coldfront.net http://kol.coldfront.net/images/M_images/coldfront_rss.png text/html 2009-11-06T22:55:39+01:00 http://kol.coldfront.net http://kol.coldfront.net/index.php/content/view/1856/43/ This month's offering from Mr. Store is a tasty treat for all your familiar friends. The Moveable Feast (thekolwiki/index.php/Moveable_feast), when equipped, not only adds the standard +5 to familiar weight, but also causes your familiar to occasionally do some combat damage. But wait--there's even more! You can feed your familiar a feast from the table, buffing him or her for an additional 10 pounds. The buff lasts for 20 turns, and can only be cast on a familiar once a day, but it can be cast on five different familiars each day. Beware though, that the buff is removed after rollover.

Following directly on the heels of Arrrbor Day (thekolwiki/index.php/Arrrbor_Day)--and in the same location as The Arrrboretum (thekolwiki/index.php/The_Arrrboretum)--is The Shivering Timbers (thekolwiki/index.php/The_Shivering_Timbers). I'll not give away any spoilers, other than to say that there's a new outfit to be had, some nifty consumables, and a spooooky item (thekolwiki/index.php/Underworld_trunk) that might just become usable in a few days... For those not afraid of spoilers, the forum discussion thread can be found here (http://forums.kingdomofloathing.com:8080/vb/showthread.php?t=177672), and the appropriate Wiki pages are linked above. text/html 2009-10-26T17:39:27+01:00 http://kol.coldfront.net http://kol.coldfront.net/index.php/content/view/1854/43/ There's an interesting discussion (http://forums.kingdomofloathing.com/vb/showthread.php?t=177556) afoot in the forums about how long the game is supposed to take to play on a daily basis. Admittedly, there are a bunch of details that I'm going to conveniently gloss over, but any thread that has a post that uses the words Opera and plate of dicks can't be all that bad, can it? Go join in the discussion/blowhardiness today. text/html 2009-10-25T22:21:00+01:00 http://kol.coldfront.net http://kol.coldfront.net/index.php/content/view/1853/43/ You hate dolphins. You've always hated dolphins, since the day you entered the sea. The dolphins have always been there, stealing your stuff. Always. You've spent days and nights furiously racking your brain, wondering how to exact revenge upon these dolphins. Now, with the help of a dolphin whistle (thekolwiki/index.php/Dolphin_whistle), sold by Big Brother for a single sand dollar, you can finally pummel these rotten dolphin thieves (thekolwiki/index.php/Rotten_dolphin_thief). You've been waiting for this moment. The next time a dolphin steals your item drop underwater, you'll be ready. These dolphins will not know what hit them. Victory will be complete and final. Failure is no longer an option. text/html 2009-10-11T00:49:11+01:00 http://kol.coldfront.net http://kol.coldfront.net/index.php/content/view/1852/43/ In celebration of Mr. Store's anniversary, two new familiars hatchlings are available to the playerbase. Replacing the Psychedelic Bear (the Leprechaun/Baby Gravy Fairy combo) is the Dancing Frog. Stepping up to the plate for the Uniclops (the Leprechaun and a Blood-Faced Volleyball combo) is the Chauvinist Pig. As always, these guys can be had from Mr. Store (in Market Square) for 2 Mr. As, or you can try your luck in the mall or in chat in /trade. And just in case you were keeping score, the Dancing Frog and Chauvinist Pig are the sixth incarnations of the 2 Mr. A familiars.
