Anyone else like dwarf fortress? I find it's one of those games I'll play obsessively for a while then put down for something else, then come back and it's like I never left. I'm on a playing obsessively kick right now.
My friend loves DF but I can't get past the tiny ASCII or tile graphics and stuff to play the main mode. I mean, I grew up with and still love Castle of the Winds but I've been spoiled with such trivial newfangled things as buttons and polygons.
However, I do love me some adventure mode. I always max out wrestling, throwing and misc. weapons so that I can defeat the first large animal I see with hand-to-hand combat and then use its corpse to strike down the next victim.
Once I amass enough corpse shillelaghs, I start to use them as throwing weapons -- if something is running from me, just throw a horse at it like an ancient boomerang. More often than not, its legs will break and I can beat the shit out of it using any one of my vast array of once-living creatures...it's then assimilated into my quiver. Sometimes I dual-wield corpses, even though the second hand weapon doesn't count for damage.
Eventually as your stats build, you gain the ability to stab enemies with your dead animals, then move them around in the wounds. I'm not sure how that works with horses and zebras and shit, but eh

Haha yeah, adventure mode is hilarious, but I think getting past the graphics and insane interface to get into fortress mode is totally worth it. Once you're used to that it's such a fun game!

yeah, if you have master of control it is possibile. I saw all of those videos, he just exploited boss weak spots. Magic is god like, so there you go.

Hopefully it won't be too bad...slowly dumping bits of cash into weapons upgrades but all my augments have been hack/stealth geared so far.
Deux Ex on hold until I finish Driver.
Driver SF peeps...am I missing something or is slowly panning across the map the only way to "quick" travel?
It's painfully slow sometimes to make it from a garage to my next mission/searching for new stunts/dares.
I feel like I'm playing the Mass Effect 2 resource mini-game just hunting for stuff to do

Nope, you're not missing anything, that's about the way it is. As you get farther in, you can zoom out a little farther to go a little faster.
