Browser games

How many Thumbs play browser games, like Kingdom of Loathing or Urban Dead?

Surely some of you. Here, I'll start.

I play Echo Bazaar and a pre-alpha of something Urban Dead flavored.

Echo Bazaar is a narrative-oriented single-player steampunk-cum-Gothic browser game set in Fallen London. Somewhere part way through Queen Vic's reign, London fell underground (some say it was dragged by bats, but surely that can't be true), along with its full complement of bohemians, revolutionaries, urchins and writers. Down underground they mingled with devils, Rubbery Men, walking corpses and sailors on the Unterzee. And everyone was getting along, until you came...

The game is primarily single-player, though you can enlist friends for assistance with actions. You ge 40 actions a day, counted out by means of a candle that can hold 10 actions (actions recharge one per 6-7 minutes). You can double your number of daily actions by becoming an "Exceptional Friend" using points - you can find these points in-game but they're rare and most people prefer to buy them with PayPal.

Accounts are through Twitter or Facebook with oAuth, so you'll need one or the other (you can echo things to your twitter or Facebook account if you choose). Oh, and the makers are British, so all the spelling is correct.

If you're playing, I'm Lady Deluxe.

I used to play Kingdom of Loathing for a long time, but after playing for practically five years I got extremely bored with it. Not a bad way to waste time on a budget, but nothing groundbreaking.

I used to play them a lot in high school. Atorian is the only one I remember the name of, in a few ways Neptune's Pride reminds me of it, apparently it's still going.
