Dwarf fortress guide:
[8:09:18 PM] Mike Colt: Okay, be prepared to read some.
[8:09:36 PM] Mike Colt: Dwarf fortress has you commanding dwarves to build a giant dungeon-like fortress underground.
[8:09:53 PM] Mike Colt: The only downside is that EVERYTHING. and I mean loving EVERYTHING wants to kill you.
[8:10:05 PM] Edward: :c
[8:10:20 PM] Mike Colt: From pigeons that stuff on your fortress and catch it fire, to GUPPIES that jump out of the water and kill ARMIES.
[8:10:40 PM] Mike Colt: This game's lurning curve is a complete 280 turn.
[8:10:49 PM] Mike Colt: This is literally the hardest game to play.
[8:10:54 PM] Edward: Hmmm
[8:10:59 PM] Mike Colt: Here I'll get a screenshot.
[8:11:26 PM] Mike Colt: Here's one layer of a fortress:

[8:11:50 PM] Mike Colt: But don't be intimidated by the graphics and difficulty.
[8:12:00 PM] Mike Colt: Trust me, this is the best game ever created.
[8:12:18 PM] Mike Colt: I created a fortress with a drawbridge near a goblin camp on purpose.
[8:12:43 PM] Mike Colt: I set up these suicidal lava traps that open up holes with a lava cavity above it once set off.
[8:12:55 PM] Mike Colt: I opened the drawbridge and they immediately decided to launch an assult.
[8:13:36 PM] Mike Colt: The result was burning goblin corpses, a half-filled fortress and insane dwarves.
[8:13:43 PM] Mike Colt: Every now and then a "Fey mood" takes one of your dwarf workers
[8:13:59 PM] Mike Colt: They either build something completely irrevalent.
[8:14:06 PM] Mike Colt: Or they go on a bloodthirsty rampage.
[8:14:27 PM] Mike Colt: They go insane if you don't supply them with a sturdy amount of alchohol.
[8:14:44 PM] Edward: Sounds confusing man.
[8:14:44 PM] Mike Colt: Oh yes, and once you've lost a fortress...
[8:14:59 PM] Mike Colt: you can reclaim it as a lone adventurer with a weapon in hand.
[8:15:11 PM] Mike Colt: Let me tell you this..
[8:15:21 PM] Mike Colt: The funnest part of the game is figuring it out.
[8:15:34 PM] Mike Colt: Don't read the wiki, just start it up and figure it out from there.
[8:15:42 PM] Mike Colt: Hilarity and chaos ensues.
[8:16:06 PM] Edward: Lol. Maybe. NEED FUN GEAMS
[8:16:17 PM] Edward: Wait imma just chill with my cat
[8:16:19 PM] Mike Colt: You should try it out when you have free time.
[8:16:36 PM] Mike Colt: It's like warcraft set underground only more indepth
[8:17:06 PM] Mike Colt: Each dwarf has a "Healthbar screen" showing each of their body parts and how much they're injured.
[8:17:53 PM] Mike Colt: One dwarf of mine who I named "Crazyinforgetsane Beardgimp" who cut his own leg off and then threw up on a door, only to return to the mine to bleed everywhere and get lots of gold.
[8:18:25 PM] Mike Colt: I didn't study anything about this game.
[8:18:37 PM] Mike Colt: I just started it up and hoped for the best.
[8:18:51 PM] Mike Colt: As I said, though. The best parts of DF is:
[8:18:54 PM] Mike Colt: Losing
[8:18:57 PM] Mike Colt: and figuring it out
