So of all the things you can do in DF, it's the fractal artifacts that make you think dwarves are crazy.

Never mind the magma falls, the atom smashers, the cog-and-axle turing-complete computers, or the colonizing of Hell itself... all those are fine, but man, those recursive artifacts! Where do they get such ideas?

Start with "Still Alive."
I thought this was going to end with the fact that pretty much every line you said could be applied to Dwarf Fortress and that the song wasn't about Portal in the first place. :P

You: And we're out of beta

Probably the only use for omegle is tricking gullibe people into thinking you're a cosmic horror. I once convinced someone I was a AI from the future sent to tell him how to survive the incoming nuclear fallout.

I once convinced someone to join the Army Engineering Corps...

Proper English will make people take you more serious.
In order to improve the universe's frame rate, we must all throw rocks into volcanoes and then do absolutely nothing, worldwide, for a week, to take pressure off pathfinding.
