“From the outside my fort looks just like a gold block road leading to doors with fortifications above it. Most seiges end with my few remaining dwarves chasing the last few elves/goblins to the edge so I added a few blood trails.” - mcguinty, Dwarf Fortress forums.
Ah yes, after the blood soaked hole in the ground, the road leading to a bloody hole in the mountain is EASILY the next most common type of fort I see (Nice Golden Road though) XD
This is the reason why I play DF. You don’t get stuff like this in any other game.

Dwarf Fortress (why not?)
Well.
If my dashboard is anything to go by, making a post about Dwarf Fortress is a good way to raise one’s popularity. You probably don’t know it, but I had some pretty big plans for this blog: a video edition! an AI War: Fleet Command LP! stuff that got pushed off in the name of procrastination.
But you know? There’s something about Dwarf Fortress. Or “Slaves to Armok: God of Blood: Chapter 2: Dwarf Fortress” if you want to be anal about it. Maybe it’s the way that every dwarf in the game has its own procedurally generated personality. Maybe it’s the insanely detailed interactions between all the different systems and all the different ways one can maintain a thriving fortress (gems, metals and cave spiders, oh my!). Or maybe it’s just the way that the game simulates all sorts of things that most other games don’t even think of, like every. single. body. part. on. every. dwarf.
Oh, and did I mention that this game has no graphics?
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Basically, if you don’t want to read a wall of (highly amusing) text past the break, I’m planning on doing a Let’s Play of Dwarf Fortress. Stay tuned. If you do want to read more about what the heck Dwarf Fortress actually is, read on!

Hollywood needs to pay attention to stuff like this, instead of making something like Battleship. Or Transformers, for that matter. Ugh.
Sometimes I come upon things in life that I have to share with the world, and this is where it goes. Reviews, recommendations, random thoughts and repostings abound!Also, since I'm planning on recording my Katimavik experiences:
