Entertainment & Sports: August 2007 Archives
In addition to Dwarf Fortress, The Independent Gaming Source points to a slew of other entertaining and interesting independent games. I've enjoyed Flow and Warning Forever, and there are a few others I'm going to try this evening if I have a chance.
I've still been playing Dwarf Fortress, and it recently got a nice spread in Games for Windows magazine.
I'm on my third fortress right now, and this time I decided to go all-out and head straight for the magma so I could easily make steel. Heck yeah. My fortress is huge and awesome, and none of the various monsters have been able to touch me yet. I'm still waiting for a goblin siege or some magma men, but so far nothing!
Here's my current fortress Ducimalis. This is the first time I've made it to the magma, and I dug straight for it, getting my magma smelter up and running during my first winter. So far the chasm and river monsters haven't caused me many problems, and I haven't seen any magma men. My economy is booming, and I really need more dwarves to help me expand further!

Anyone seen any episodes of Star Trek: New Voyages? Looks like it could be cool.
I've been playing this new-to-me freeware game called Dwarf Fortress: cracktastic. One of the most addicting and engrossing games I've ever came across, largely because the artificial intelligence endlessly engaging. Be warned: DF has an incredibly steep learning curve, but the Dwarf Fortress wiki will be of enormous help.
If anyone else plays, shoot me an email!
