    Let's Play Dwarf Fortress: Syndrome Conundrum

    From what I recall, the reason they're called dwarves is becuase they were named by the giants, who of course thought they were abnormally short. Or something like that. The Elder Scrolls series doesn't actually have traditional dwarves in it.

    The New Shiny Escapist

    I haven't posted here in ages. Decided to come back to see what was up only to be hit by this...mess. You messed up. This new layout is really, really bad compared to the old one. It looks empty and dull yet somehow manages to be cluttered at the same time. I wish I could give more solid...

    Let's Play Dwarf Fortress: Syndrome Conundrum

    No I don't have an excuse for not updating the thread. Well I do have several excuses, but none of them are good. Let me sum them up; College, Skyrim, Blood Bowl, not wanting to spend all day in front of a computer, etc. You can basically chalk it up to real life issues and me being a lazy fuck...

    Let's Play Dwarf Fortress: Syndrome Conundrum

    It's a terrifying tropical ocean bordered by a savage savannah. It's hot year round which is why we have never had a single drop of rain. The savannah itself isn't haunted though so the creatures coming from it aren't undead. Not the most brutal place you could embark on but it isn't exactly...

    That's odd. They're working just fine for me...shit, let me mess around with stuff. EDIT: I don't know what to say. It works fine for me and other people. I have no idea what the issue would be.

    Let's Play Dwarf Fortress: Syndrome Conundrum

    Some goons are assholes. Some Escapists are smug pricks. Every website has it's terrible fucks, and Something Awful is certainly no exception. It's still a decent site though. You probably wont' catch any flak so long as you read the rules and don't post like a moron.

    Let's Play Dwarf Fortress: Syndrome Conundrum

    You're looking at it the wrong way. It's not paying $10 to read one LP, it's paying $10 to get onto a really good site. There is a lot more to Something Awful than just the LP forum. Don't take this as me praising SA as the god of all websites, but the $10 fee isn't that bad. Especially since...

    What game(s) do you want to see Let's Played?

    I understand what you mean, and don't worry you're not being insulting. There's nothing wrong with wanting to do an LP. However, that alone isn't usually enough for an LP to turn out good. You need to be passionate about the game you're playing. That can passions can be for a huge number of...

    What game(s) do you want to see Let's Played?

    If you're asking people what game to LP, it's probably not going to be a good LP. You shouldn't LP a game just for the sake of doing one.

    Yes, it is completley coincidence. I doubt Lowtax even knows about the LP, and if he did he wouldn't care. Besides, I'm pretty sure it automatically locks out nonmembers at the end of every month.

    In case you guys can't get enough of Dwarf Fortress LPs, the users of Something Awful are starting another one [http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3445758].
