A few years ago I posted about someone trying to kill 1000 Happy Happyists as a challenge (see here). They didn’t quite make it to 1000, but it was still pretty impressive. Well, now a fan by the name of VyseOfLegends9001 has gone and attempted the challenge… and beaten it by a lot! The total count: 3448 dead cultists. If anything, I think that makes Ness the villain of the game now. ...Read More »

The problem is that Jeff doesn’t have an ATM...Read More »

You know how in Happy Happy Village, the Insane Cultists will call for other Insane Cultists? Well, Starmen.Net forumgoier Murcielo happens to be insane too: For those of you who may recall, I managed a 502 Insane Cultist battle back during EBFGP, and I stated back then that I would defeat 1,000 Insane Cultists in a single battle; well, turns out…. I failed for now. I have been relatively busy w...Read More »
