Best thing evar

I finally found out where my crocodile icon came from. It comes from an online javascript game called The Asylum: Psychiatric Clinic for Abused Cuddly Toys. It's exactly what it sounds like on the tin.

There's a more detailed analysis here and a walkthrough in the comments section here but the gist of it is you are a mental health professional trying to help traumatised stuffed animals. You can do things like Talk Therapy, Art Therapy, Dream Analysis, all so you can find out their tragic backstory and properly diagnose and treat these animals.

So my icon is even more apt, since he (Kroko) is an anxious nervous wreck, just like me!

This game is fantastic, it's got a warped sense of humor and it tugs at ye olde heartstrings. I just wanna help these widdle guys!

(They even have the actual stuffed animals for sale. Too bad Christmas is 6 months away.)

I've managed to cure Kroko!

On my first try I accidentally overdosed him on drugs and then had to shock him back to his senses. I felt HORRIBLE.

But he's so happy to have his waterbottle back!

Yes! I sort of electrocuted the poor guy first time round.

Oh man, I've known of that game for years, and figured since you had that as a userpic, you knew what it was. I would've told you ages ago, if I'd known you didn't know!

D'oh!
