Fugly Friday: Carnage UK, best viewed when drunk -- blind drunk

Either way, their brutal, eye-gouging monstrosity is quite possibly the most garish and ugly site I've ever seen. I don't know if it's meant to scare prospective clients off -- or lure a very specific subset of the human species into their lurid, sweaty, drunken grip.
Further research shows that one of their clients/binge-drinking brain-dead student punters recently got into trouble for urinating on a war memorial. Why would I research such a debauched and drunken leper of a domain, I hear you ask? Because really, such a creation must be a front for something truly nefarious -- no one designs such vomit-inducing promotional material with benevolent intentions. No one.
So, if you're looking to get rip-roaringly drunk in the UK and wear 'fancy dress t-shirts', or if you're looking for a good excuse to piss all over our respected and revered military veterans, look no further than Carnage UK.

I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before.
Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening.

Carnage is famous in the UK for student nights out, they don't really need people finding them they just organise a massive cheap pub crawl in different cities and then tell every student in that city. Liverpool's carnage is literally carnage! The website doesn't really do it any favours i guess, but it's not as bad as you're making out :p

You must be one of their classy clientele...!
I'm sure they know how to organise a good party/pub crawl. They're pretty damn big, from what I can tell!

We have Carnage down in Colchester, Essex. Tends to be frequented by the uni students down here. Some nights seem to have scoring systems, you get points for drinks, snogs and other random stuff.
Everyone I know that's been on a carnage crawl says it's amazing - they have become alcoholics too though.

That's where I went to university... but the Carnage must've appeared after I left... alas!

Aberystwyth is a couple hours from my parent's house. It's alright, got a beach and Wales' national library.
The more you know!
