I was using Genesis So yeah. But imagine it, a dwarf just sitting in a lone table, hidden by the shadows, and the only thing one can see of him is his hand holding a cup shaped as a booze waterfall. A mere dwarf would fall on to his knees in glory of this magnificent feat!

This game is like crack to game designers. Thinking about the concepts behind what it's trying will to achieve is as fun as playing it.

Fixed for ye.

DF is the worlds most interactive video game in the sense that you can make absolutely whatever you want out of what is happening. it really engages my imagination in a way that no other game has ever done and i think that is tremendous.

I actually want some magazine to write a story on it, to get more people playing. DF is well known, but we could always use more players.

At least one magazine did. They spoke high praise of it too. Of course most people are turned down because of the graphics. Specifically people who are too lazy to imagine things. Plus the learning curve.

Dwarf fortress is awesome because twelve werewolves sieged my fort, and only two survived

I enjoy reading about all the crazy bugs that pop up.

Is... is that weird?

On the item is an image of Ngom Fishsin the goblin and a alligator in mountain goat leather. The alligator is striking down Ngom Fishsin. The artwork relates to the killing of the goblin Ngom Fishsin by a alligator in Crueljoy in The Mechanical Spine in the late autumn of 11 during Kaguskok, "The Crazy Assault".

When they're things like elk bird invading your fortress, kicking your chickens out, unloading a massive clutch of eggs, then starving to death because they don't bother to graze while defending their eggs, or the bug where megabeasts rise from the dead to keep rampaging even after being slain?

Nah, that's comedy gold.

Personally, I like [DF] because after climbing the damned learning cliff, I'm too elitist to consider not liking it.
