DF General Discussion / Re: Things DF Has Made You Look at Differently
« on: August 17, 2008, 02:58:23 pm »
Yep, I agree with the stones...I try to look them up on wikipedia once in a while, just to see what they look like and what they're used for. Quite a few gems too. Oh, and I'd never have known what a hoary marmot was, either. And rhesus macaques.

DF General Discussion / Re: Boatmurdered.. the movie?

Accents, nah. Just maybe rough/raspy voices, if possible and realistic.

The knee-in-boot idea is good, and always worth a laugh. You can always do this with already short people, and make accurate dwarves.

Beards, you can usually buy cheap props at Party City or something. Homemade beards aren't usually very beard-y. Construction paper works though. Heh. Or one of you could grow a beard if you were that dedicated. Or get a grandfather/uncle/father etc. who already bears one to act for you, but that could be a little tougher.

Another thing is arms, short dwarves don't have human-length arms, I guess you could wear short sleeves and keep your elbows in your shirts, but that would look a little weird.

Armor and such could be made with tin foil, or paper, or plastic or whatever. Cardboard would work.

For the magma, you could film at night and light some candles/make a little campfire and the flickering effect could be used.

Dunno.

Spore looks like it will be nice, comes out in US September 7th on Mac and PC. I think.

I honestly have never liked a game as much as DF, so I can't help you too much.

The contraptions remind me of sodaplay.

I recently lost my expedition leader to a skeletal alligator...kind of gives the game a little challenge, but frankly it would have been harder if I'd lost my mason/smith/miner or carpenter/woodcutter or some other worker.

Granted, thoughts begin streaming into your mind, and once all of time until the present second has been funneled in, every single living entities thoughts are being sent to you, every single thought or notion. Good luck doing much of anything.

I wish for a bowl of good soup. +2 soup, of course.

If you like depth over graphics, and hardcore turn based wargames, get Dominions 3.

I actually enjoy Dominions very much, except two things annoy me to the verge of insanity: 1. The trial ends every game abruptly, just when you actually start winning (in my case). 2. $54.95. Who the hell pays sixty bucks for a game like that? I think that's overpriced by at least $25.

Other Games / Re: Unreal World

I enjoy Unreal, but I like DF quite a bit better. I have had lots of crashing in URW, often at times when I'm getting into the game. DF has never crashed for me. And yes, all those games listed are free. Heh.

I like DF simply because of the depth and consistency.

Well, I've actually completed a job for another PC before! I had to gather some obsidian, I actually made quite a bit by my standards. Just try offering work, or asking for it.

If this actually happens, I may never leave my desktop again.

Granted, it slowly melts while you pilot it, dissolving you into the molten pit of toxic glop.

I wish for a giant water powered mech.

I would like to say I have only used a 3rd person program once in my DF lifetime.

And it wasn't even an in-fortress app, just prospector.
