this is FUBAR, and I'm going to go to another thread now and curl into a fetal position.

Ex. I am frequently annoyed by videogames that don't have destructible terrain. In games that do, I always dry to dig underground tunnels, even if this entails repeatedly firing a bazooka at the ground.

Also, Dwarf Fortress 17: 2 Dwarf 2 Fortress.

I still think that the whole fortress should be flooded with magma the moment you try dividing by zero.
This could be a handy way of teaching preschool children mathematics.

Sounds like a typical game of DF.  ;)

Yeah, whenever I look at FPS games, my first thought always was.
"I got this tank... why can't I just blast my way through the building towards the objectives?!"
And...
"How the **** did that piece of wood stop a tank shot!?"
At least in DF, you can conceivably think that wooden wall is the thickness of a dragon (which would make it somewhat indestructable).

One of the toads decided to go for a swim in the moat - presumably because he could path through the moat to my dwarves. He is not charging in, just loitering in the moat.

The toad is having a nice relaxing swim.
The goblin mounted on his back, however, is drowning.

to be picky, most games never tell you what kinds of ammo you're blasting out your cannon. it could just be exploding-air-in-a-shell for all we know.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

No, I used the Earth Strikes Back. We were going chronologically earlier but I guess that's over.
