Applied Photonic Particle Physics and Waveform Mapping!

Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation!
Oh wait, that's already taken.
Dwarves with Lasers would be awesome though. All they need is high-voltage current and mirrors...
Dwarves already have the gemstones usually used for such things, the high-strength metals needed to withstand the temperatures, so now all we need is <<-copper wires->> and a *dynamo* attached to the water wheels and the <<-silver backed clear glass->> and we should be all set.

Laser towers inside the eyes of a giant statue of Armok? Truly a Gaze of Armok there - kills anything it sees.

As a massive fan of Pratchett's Discworld books, I heartily condone this.
As a matter of fact, I was reading one barely 5 minutes ago!

Hatchets eh?
Sounds like the game Savage to me... in fact, that would be a brilliant DF mod. We need more Redstone!

How about calling it "Advanced Synergistic Photon Raytrace Physics"? Sounds really complicated and awesome that way.

I like to imagine he has drunk so much alcohol that the normal dwarven brews don't do it for him anymore. He now needs to move onto stronger and more exotic stuff.

Something like "Elf Blood Brew" should suffice.
Talking of which, with the new update we'll be able to make Elf Blood brewable. And then we can make Booze from our fallen foes.

The only reason I'm downloading this is so that I can rampage around in adventure mode and tear the Pokemon apart.

...under the sphere of duck tape....

Sorry to nit-pick but this really gets my goat I'm afraid.
IT IS DUCT TAPE. NOT DUCK TAPE, THAT'S JUST HOW PEOPLE PRONOUNCE IT.
DUCT. DUCT TAPE. ARRRGH.

For his cousin to be his mother, his father would have had to marry his sibling's daughter - and then, y'know - to make this guy.

So it's like this:

Father Married Brother's Daughter. Has child with her, making this guy.

When I read the dev log, I had the mental image of a Dwarf just sawing the other wounded Dwarf in half, and proclaiming him cured as he dies almost instantaneously.

Being a Scot, I'm slightly out of place with my total non-accent among th' rest o' mah haverin' peers.

I actually don't have an accent at all, it's quite odd; but I suppose that's what happens when your father's Australian, your mother's Scottish, your Grandmother is English and your other Grandmother is Irish.
