It's a diablo clone that uses predetermined heroes you can change the appearance (and by extension stats) of.

Unfortunately, my Nvidia 6800's age is showing as I can't run it worth crap (LAGS HEAVILY) even with everything turned down.

I only played the tutorial levels, really...

Vodka!

There is far too much Korpiklaani in that statement.

As for those speaking of Heavy Rain...

Yes. It's immersive. I got sucked in for hours. And hours.
However, you might notice a few problems here and there....

Spoiler: Will ruin game. Don't read unless finished (click to show/hide)

I have to agree with Hawkfrost that Kaizo Mario is difficult as hell.

I had my friends try it just to listen to their upsettedness about losing the first level in under 30 seconds.

So what, this game is basically just the old DOS game Sword of the Samurai?
Yeah, concept sounds VEEEEEERY similar, Paradox.

DF Modding / Re: Flying Dwarves

I was tempted to make a fortress for fliers/large hole in the ground with walkways (for injured flying dwarves) thus everyone would be able to path.

But I read somewhere that the dwarves would claim it was dangerous ground.
Was that untrue?

DF Modding / Re: What are the specific in-game effects of various position/RESPONSIBILITY tokens?

In order to have a nondwarven military, you have to make sure to get it set up exactly right.

As a matter of fact, I don't even know if it's possible to have one without copy/pasting the entries for their militia commander/captains/etc. and changing the nonvitals.

Yes, a bee is generally considered a bug.
...Wait, that wasn't your question.

Actually, no, only insects of the order hemiptera are considered true bugs, though some would further restrict that name to the sub-order heteroptera. Bees, wasps and ants all belong to the order hymenoptera, which is quite separate.

For those who have forgotten their Latin, hemiptera means "half wing", heteroptera means "different wing" and hymenoptera means "membrane wing." Once you realize that the "ptera" part is from "pteron", which means wing, you can learn a few things you might not know about some other Latin-derived English words. In other words, yeah, the name of that other thing is just "membrane".

This concludes your daily dose of pedantry and entomology.
Entomological etymology?

And for those who have further forgotten their Latin, those are all rooted from Greek.
