No meat today, my game has gone away… //at 02:38 //by abe
Jick seems to have wrecked the main KoL database and restore doesn’t seem working as expected. So KoL will be down for a while. Which means for me: More time in the evenings. ;-)

Oh no! Yet another WML… //at 02:33 //by abe
As if I have not enough troubles to explain that there is not only the Wireless Markup Language (of the WAP consortium) named WML but also the Website Meta Language, there is now yet another WML: The Wesnoth Markup Language for the game The Battle for Wesnoth, of which version 1.0 was released two days ago. (Via Isaac Clerencia)
Although I usually don”t play games of that type, I’m quite curious
about it, maybe because it’s
dangerous. ;-)

One thing I love the Kingdom of Loathing for are the countless allusions to movies and songtexts. Today I found something, which can’t be anything else than an allusion to one of my favourite movies:
When I only read the name of the item I was immediately reminded to a scene from Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs (IMDb entry, Wikipedia entry) when President Skroob drinks -eh- breaths a can of Perry Air. (Which itself is an allusion to “Perrier”. But I only found German written references to “Perry Air”, so it may be that the original version didn’t have this allusion, since the script directly refers to “Perrier Salt-Free Air”.)
BTW: Nice typo in the English Wikiquote article about Spaceballs: “Dark Helmut” instead of “Dark Helmet”. :-)
