[PEPPY]: Fox! do a barrel roll!

i cannot read those words without remembering the feel of a snes controller.

also, ive been trying to get ahold of a copy of godzilla, the original Japanese version, for ages. it was made as a big budget top end film for japanese cinema, but when they released it in america they cut it to peices and reshot a lot of footage of an american reporter character to give the US audiences someone they could empathize more with. it was released as a B grade monster movie in american cinemas, and did well as that was what was popular at the time. but the original was quite a bit more then that.

i have seen THEM! though. thats the giant atomic ants movie, which in 1953 was the first film ever to invoke radiation as the cause of making nature huge and pissed off. if you played fallout 3 there is a quest that parodies it. that was a good film. i liked the end, it had the US military with its ww2 era jeeps, rifles and flamethrowers clearing stormwater drains of massive ants.

also, any creature movie with ray harryhousen doing special effects was awesome. he gave us many DF creatures, including the bronze collosus.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.

Golden Axe, perhaps?

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

It comes from a thread.
I'm the only one that does,
but it is catching.

Much like you just did,
often people answer me
with their own haiku.

Wasn't me. Haiku came first. I'd missed that it was THAT old thread. Also, I was trying to find Turtle lymerics to post.

And thus:

The giant turtle Nethg”nbidok
had a Zansong Obok like a rock
After downing a flagon
He scuttled a wagon
Confusing it for breeding stock

Lol I was listening to the Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack while reading this, and it made the idea seem even more epic.
