I've recently returned to
The Kingdom of Loathing, aka KoL.
In this game, the monetary system is meat. I was making sausage the other day and couldn't resist stacking my finished product into a neat, easily manageable meat stack:

Truth be told, I haven't actually returned to the game, so much as the community. In particular,
Radio KoL. It's an amazingly diverse online radio station with DJs from all around the globe, playing music from all imaginable genres. There are some DJs who talk more than they play music, and there are some who simply try to be as shocking as possible... and yes, it can get offensive at times, depending on how easily you are offended. I'm pretty immune so I take it all with a grain of salt, and often actually enjoy it. I am really very interested in becoming one of these DJs. I think it would be a lot of fun to have a show where I play music from my travels, as well as bits of my favorite audio books and maybe even take phone calls. Must explore the technical possibilities of that.
Back when I was actually playing the game avidly (which means about an hour a day actual game play), I went to a Seattle gathering-- a picnic and then a house party with a bunch of the players . It was a blast. I was starting to flirt with the idea of becoming a RKoL DJ back then, but never pursued it. Now I am finding myself drawn to the idea again. I have always thought it would be fun and I would be good at being a radio DJ. People have told me I have the voice and personality for it often. Maybe we'll see. I am actually very interested in figuring out how this shoutcast stuff works, so I've downloaded it and will experiment a bit.
