Do the laser sharks have their own, smaller laser that fires laser sharks as well?

Modern gaming suffers from a serious lack of recursive weaponry, DF artifacts notwithstanding.

In Metagun, by Notch, you have a gun that fires little men that fire their own guns.  At you.  Read the RPS coverage.

... That's pretty amusing. The forums never cease to amaze me with utterly random cool stuff that's spewed out on a regular basis.

There's also Cortex Command. It's the only game where you can make a gun that launches people armed with the same gun.

I never remembered to rig the Skelegun someone made to fire skeletons armed with more skeleguns instead of grenades...

Heh, someone.

It'd be hard to modify the Skelegun to do this, since it doesn't use Lua. You can't have perpetual recursion in CC with just definitions, because they are linear - if you want a skeleton to pack a skelegun, the skelegun must be defined. If you want a skelegun to launch a skeleton, the skeleton must be defined. So you can't just have the skelegun launch a skeleton that packs a skelegun. It's possible with Lua, however, by having the projectile launched by the Skelegun instantly turn into a skelegun-wielding skeleton on creation.

Wooooooo, mithril. Also woo drill, but eh.

[nenjin]

'bout time we got a drill.

(That new armor looks sexy as hell too)

[Darkmere]

Interesting. Kinda makes me wonder how their mechanical components are gonna turn out. This talk of "do something and the world gets re-seeded with new stuff" has me intrigued as well. Hopefully at least some of the new stuff can be forged into bricks and walls, as well.

It's a hand-cranked egg-beater.

[SirAaronIII]

Huh, could have sworn I posted earlier.

Anyway, that armor sure is awesome-looking. And the drill.
Ours is the drill that will pierce the heavens! And everything else, after we get bored of heaven-piercing.

[Seriyu]

Yeah, the idea of "do a thing, world regenerates with different stuff" is what I'm most excited about, although all the new ore and new biome is pretty nice too.

[Darkmere]

Maybe I'm just too old and jaded to get truly excited about games much anymore, but can someone explain to me why, in the linked thread above...

1) There's a picture of a drill and mithril (this I understand)
2) 300+ posts all have to say OH OH THERE'S A DRILL! AND MITHRIL! OMFG! (completely baffled)

Maybe I should do that IRL. HEY STOP SIGN! AND A TREE! MAILBOX! HOUSE!

[Sean Mirrsen]

Twofold. One, the overwhelming desire to post SOMETHING, since drills and mithril confirmed for the next update is awesome. Two, the complete lack of anything OTHER than "Drill!" or "Mithril!" to post, since that was all that was in the news bit, and there isn't much else to say on the matter. Some posts do point out the mithril armor, btw.

[Darkmere]

I suppose so. It just seems "Hey guys, looks spiffy, keep up the good work" would serve just as well and sound less like a 3 year old.

Ah right, the armor, and don't forget everyone who made a Gurren Lagann reference.

I'm spoiled by these forums, where every new item is a new weapon and theorycrafting begins immediately.

[timferius]

I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to drilling through hordes of zombies!

Hai guise :v

I'm bored with singleplayer but on other hand I don't want to join multiplayer full of shenaningans, so... Does anybody need a home/castle/tower/bunker built?

I won't be mad if you will pay me with gems but I will be happy with just building something. As long as you help me provide materials for the construction :v

In case you want to know how I build, I posted mah castle few pages ago~~
