Wiki FTW
« on: April 30, 2008, 01:04:00 pm »

Yesterday I finally gave in to the incessant DF references on rpg.net and installed it.  If not for the wiki, I would've confronted the opacity of the interface, said "later for that" and been none the worse for wear.  Instead, thanks to the wiki's newbie guide, I was up all friggin' night and did exactly none of the work I brought home with me, and am presently surviving entirely on coffee and Monster Khaos energy drinks.

So, yeah.  Good work.  :)

Yeah, the God damned Wiki, Dwarf Fortress, and my own spiritual weakness together  are responsible for about 50 hours of lost productivity. I enjoyed every minute of that, completely free of worries and concentrating only on my dwarves, though.

Edit: keyword "lost" was missing.  :)

50?

You're a noob, you need to get back in there.  For a while I was playing all day, every day, for like two weeks.  I've lowered my DF intake, but it's still there, taunting me.  I'll probably start again this weekend, once I don't have to worry about school.

No, I mean I don't have to worry for two days.

Turns out there's a free weekend of Team Fortress 2, so I guess it'll have to wait till next weekend.

You mean N00b Fotress 2, I swear I'm getting tired of switching my radio station off QQFM*  :mad:

the spinning bb round hits jack johnson, scumbag in the lower body!
it is pierced through entirely!
his right kidney has been poked out!
his liver has been mangled!

jack johnson, raider has been shot and killed.

The above (including bbcode) neatly weighs in at 255 characters. Fallout meets DF
