Give it a couple more years, and Sean Connery could probably play Cohen the Barbarian.

But enough off topic nonsense. Back to the beasts.

I first started playing fortress mode sometime in 2008. The first big update I remember is the one that allowed you to designate more than one wall at a time, or something like that.

If we're talking about when I first heard about Dwarf Fortress, well, that was in a long dead forum, shortly after the first public release. People were complaining about the GUI, and how it made no sense. I thought to myself "well, that sounds annoying. Not for me." What a fool I was, etc.

After losing an entire fort to a desert titan, I reclaimed. My new dwarfs got to shelter and then got to work building a magma cannon. Construction was slightly succesful, but the titan always managed to escape the waves of lava we sent after him. At long last, Lusnub Howlpacks the Hairy Raptor-Season of Birds was slain by a crossbow-dwarf that accompanied a caravan. Now, what to do with all this magma?

40d wrassledwarfs against one gobin siege? Yeah, that aint much of a contest.

This is one of the game mechanics that the new version will undoubtedly fix, someday.

Sorry. I was talking about Furtuka's. It deserves votes. I am terrible at making myself understood.

Desert titan.

It just bit off the hands of half my military, leaving them bleeding out in the sand. While this is frustrating, I am amazed at its aim. Seriously, this thing is dedicated to biting off hands, and only hands.

Ravens, magpies, crows... why not just vote for the whole family Corvidae? They are the best of birds.

I used to play the euphonium, though I wasn't much good at it. Back when I did, I was quite fond of Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring.

Nowadays I'm trying to learn to play the kantele. Trying work out how to play "Froggy Went a' Courtin'" on the thing is fun!

Music is good times.
