I wondered how long it'd be before this got a thread on... well pretty much every other RL's forum. xD;

Nevertheless, good times. Now I have two awesomely addictive games to pass the time. <3

Yeah, noticed this not long after I woke up today. Had I not had class, I would have... well, been playing DF. Which I am, now. (Almost lost my first fortress, yay! Haha, murder.) Mecha are well and truly awesome, but... magma sea. Magma sea. Yeah. Oooh yeah.

Hopefully at some point in the future, some mad genius will fuse GH-style mecha into DF's madhouse. Brains would asplode, honestly. The good kind of asplode.

Haven't had a chance to play it yet, myself. Eh, it's... a very different kind of beast from GH. DF is certainly ambitious, but I dunno if I can see for certain how far it'll go. Still, MAGMA SEA.

I rest my case.

Magma sea: First experience in new version.

I became coherent just now to check. It is awesome. ~150 z-levels of pure awesome.

And then I went and made another fortress, for ease of glass making. And it turned out awesome too.
