Urban Dead vs Kingdom of Loathing

I've played both Urban Dead and Kingdom of Loathing for a little while now, and the winner is: Urban Dead. It's not just the fact that it's focused on zombies (though that is a major plus) but I just find it sustaining my interest far more easily than KoL. It's got less to do, there are far fewer items, no quests to speak of, character stats are as basic as they get, and any humour is supplied by the players. Somehow these all manage to win out over Kingdom of Loathing in a similar way that some people prefer Pac Man and Pong over Unreal Tournament.

PS - I prefer just about anything to a first-person shooter.
PPS - A hit on the thumb with a hammer, for instance, rates higher than Quake.
