I guess I should write in here as we’re approaching the end of July.<\/p>\n

KoL has been interesting lately, as I’ve been pulled into a series of Hobopolis speed runs to obtain things like an invisible hamster, a technicolor overcoat, and a whacking stick. (They’re kind of like raids in WoW, in that you need 7+ people participating in specific ways to get the rewards.)

\nDetails here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s the awesomeness that happens as a result:
