I love Dwarf Fortress, Boom-De-Ah-Dah Boom-De-Ah-Dah
« on: November 12, 2010, 07:00:57 pm »

Urist McTaverish originally suggested this on a thread, and after seeing this- http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=57356.0

I concur.

For example:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So, I'm thinking follow rhyme/rhythm scheme, and provide images/video to go along with each line.  I'll probably come up with something later tonight, but please contribute!

For !!ART!!

even sticking to the orginal words and just doing pictures would be awesome.
For amazing ease of design, wikipedia has listed the lyrics with the orignal pictures.
Some of these would be pretty cool/easy in DF:
I love arachnids (Cave spider web trap anyone?)
I love hot magma (finding the best image for this would be SO hard

EDIT:
Man this has really got me thinking:
I love real dirty things (v-inv, find a dwarf that is 15 kinds of dirty, (7 types of blood, 5 types of vomit, water, mud and dust)

Wouldn't be too hard,
Just collect screenies/ short video recording (and the odd bit of fan art?)
and then put them in a slideshow to the background music

EDIT 2:
And the chorus,
Boom de adah: (Short vid of dwarf pulling lever, 5x5x5 of natural stone hitting even merchants)
I'm sure there are lots of other booms, magma cannons :-D,
anbd final chorus?
Boom de adah: (Short vid of dwarf pulling lever, fortress held up by single support collapses (and we watch the dust settle as music fades))

I'll find/take screenshots.

For magma:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Does a better job explaining it than any screenshot could, methinks.

It's not quiet the vieo i was looking for,
Really you can;t love magma properly unless it's smitting you enemies (or dwarves, I LOVE MAGMA so much Fun)

EDIT:
Wait does the picture symbolise falling into magma?

Although not ASCII, a clip from towards the end of Episode III would nicely illustrate how useful magma-mediated relations are when it comes to elves and terrible actors.

I think that would look best as individual lines hitting the screen from behind the camera until it's unreadable.
