I don't think I'll ever be able to call DF anything but Dwarf Fortress.

It's important to wear lots of face paint while you program. And you can type with your long Gene Simmons tongue.

Yeah and Half Life shouldn't be called that because it has nothing to do with the half life of anything. It's a fucking name, who cares?

Wow, this has gone downhill fast.

Look, people, this thread was _not serious_. I was just poking fun at the name, nothing else.

Okay? So please stop getting angry at each other.

In my lab where I use to talk a lot about the game people starter referring to it as "That game about dwarves" or "That game about points and commas" (referring to the graphics). Whatever...

Anyway, the name should stay as it is or get longer. Big games need long names.

Within my local fangroup we call the game SimDwarf. But yes, the game needs a name as epic as the game itself. Maybe we should let the random name generator make up a a name? Every time you start the game, it's called something else.

Actually I do wonder if you know what zombies are. But the fact that those zombies are people invested with head crabs might null that...
