GameTrailers, an MTV gaming forum I'm a moderator of.

More specifically, the site has "factions", pretty much private forums for members (which is sadly being phased out). I heard it from one of the private factions.

My dwarf worships the goddess of suicide. This can only bode well.

My friend introduced it to me back in 2007. He learned about it from the Dominions forum over at Shrapnel games.

On LordKaT's website, where he implemented Boatmurdered into his DnD campaign. T'was hilarious, so I read the official Boatmurdered and ended up here. Because Flinging goblins halfway across the map is AWESOME. Also, f*ck elves.

Review on Play This Thing: the one that suggests that DF is from an alternate universe where computer technology developed along different lines, going for power and complexity rather than aesthetics and ease of use.

Minecraft introduced me to the name.

TVTropes introduced me to Boatmurdered.

I introduced myself to DF... and now cackle with glee as naked goblins try to navigate my masterwork serrated steel blade trap maze...

Well it was 2 years ago, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to say you've forgotten, but then again conspiracy theories are always better.

You were head crab'd.

4chan/v/ thread with jokes about the game. I'm so glad I was online that day.

But then again, my bio-rhythms and my exam reports aren't too glad about it.

I read about the story of Boadmurdered on 1d4chan, and of course wanted to play.

You seem to be under the illusion that we give a shit about what happens to dwarves who are too dumb to live.

TVTropes was my first exposure to the name.  I followed it up, read Boatmurdered, and then discovered the forum.  Now I'm here.

Minecraft.

And like Minecraft, DF took a couple tries before it took hold.

But when it took hold, it TOOK HOLD.
