Yet another Dwarf Fortress reference thread.

I'm making this both so that every time a new reference is found it doesn't need a thread, and since I found one myself.

A flash game called Elements of Arkandia has your character's default name "Urist McMage".

So, what other references have you guys found in your day to day life?

Well, I've had to put up with six dwarves following me around everywhere, insisting that I am the only guy around who meets a very specific skill set they apparently need for an expedition. I'm not going, though, because those dwarves are jerks- I am so much more than a "competent" cook.

Ahem.

[Xaft]

that game you linked in the first post, has more references than just that, its loaded with them

[Tharwen]

There are more than the ones on that page, surely?

From memory, the cargo bay you get updgrades from in Starcraft II is called 'Bay 12' (I think I got that information off this very forum, in fact). That could at least go under the possible references section.

Umm... what else? I can't think of any right now.

It's almost certainly a reference to the Alien series, which I believe is what the name "Bay12 Games" is a reference to as well.

I've never seen Alien...

I mean... yes, Alien! I know exactly what you're referring to! In fact, I just finished rewatching the entire series so I'm about as knowledgeable now as I'll ever be!

I'll get round to it at some point.

I was under the impression that there was also a very dwarfy looking mechanic in the cargo bay?

He is very dwarfy.
