All the graphics are badly hand-drawn stick figures. Meat is the currency &#8211; not gold. Adventure to Mt. Noob for instruction, challenge the Brotherhood of the Smackdown, find adventure in the haunted pantry, or the dungeon full of dungeons. You must pass a literacy test in order to gain access to the online chat (including knowing the correct usages of their, there, and they&#8217;re).<\/p>\n<p>So far I have attacked: a possessed can of tomatoes, undead elbow macaroni, and so forth.

I don&#8217;t have a real job! I only listen to bands you&#8217;ve never heard of!&#8221; Knowing better, you lay the smack down and take the brush, determined to return it to its rightful owner. You acquire an item: pretentious paintbrush&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>How can you go wrong like that?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ha ho ho ho! This adventure game is awesome.
