[Lost Requiem]

One of the caves Al-Qaeda was holed up in was abandoned and Pakistani soldiers reclaimed it recently. ABC had a report on it, and took a brief tour of the caves.

Who else can't watch this and not think that maybe someone in Al-Qaeda didn't play Dwarf Fortress?

Urist McTerrorist has been quite content lately. He has slept on the ground recently. He ate a fine meal lately. He had a satisfying sparring session recently.

I wonder if the guns the villagers are waving about at the end were taken from the caves, or ones that they already had.

it look like there Tunnels are bigger than during the Vietnam War

Diagnosis:  Tantrum spiral.  I didn't see any legendary dining rooms!

[QuakeIV]

I think they DESIGNED that cave with dwarf fortress.

actually, the villagers at the end are the talibans, and they're having the laugh of their lives.

The Vietnamese have had to widen some of them to stop fat American tourists from getting stuck.

Now I have a visual to think of when I dig out walls.  Cool.

That would be pretty hilarious, if they happened to go out to breakfast or something the day the military showed up.

Without fail.. you can set your watch by it..

To be a bit more relevant, it's because these are built into rock with digging machines. The ones in vietnam needed wood to support things of that size and they were done mostly with shovels.

I guess once they realized they embarked without magma they just abandoned the whole thing :\

Possibly, though in places like Afghanistan and Iraq people swap AK47s like trading cards. A lot of the time, the "ten dollar Taleban" we encounter are just locals taking a few potshots, sometimes without any actual affiliation with Al Qaeda.

When a wedding takes place, it's common for the men to fire their AKs into the air in celebration. It has been known for the resulting hail of lead to fall down on someone's unsuspecting house a mile away. It also shows how difficult it can be to distinguish between a Taleban attack and a wedding party.

But yeah, no magma, no HFS, no zombie carp. This was indeed a poor choice of embark location. They probably gave it over to the Pakistan military quite willingly.

I won't post it here because it is prolly against forum rules but I know of a video of a brides father firing his AK into the air at a wedding...with one hand....the kick then gets out of control and he actually kills the groom....talk about bad day.

Looks like no water or proper soil layer either. That site sucked.
