Bay1games is up and running. Yay! The forums should be back soon.

Hmm.. Bay12games.com just times out for me. Was there a name change or something?

(Wathathafatha = The Siege of Battles, literally, or as I'm using it here, The Downtime of Ages)

That should totally be the official name for what happened.

In 2008, Wathathafatha occurred.

Recently read Day of the Triffids. It's great!
Also Do Android Dream Of Electric Sheep. The Blade Runner movie is based on it. Weird book. Much better than the movie, though!

I'm thinking of re-reading Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy or 1984.
Once I get some money I will buy some new books.

I've read Day of the Triffids as well. It is indeed an awesome sci-fi book. 1984 is also doubleplusgood.

Right now I'm reading the Catcher in the Rye. It's a good book, a classic even, set in the 50's from the point of view of a teenage dropout who wanders around New York city getting into all sorts of trouble. It's an interesting book mostly because it really seems to get into this guy's thoughts. and he's pretty messed up.

Well, in Dwarf Fortress, you start with 7 dwarves(nice reference) but you don't control them directly. Instead, you tell each individual dwarf what they can and can't do, then set out jobs for them to accomplish. These jobs include things like building, crafting, recordkeeping, weaving, and mining. Some other jobs, such as sleeping, eating or drinking, are automatic to dwarves and they will do them as long as they are alive. Speaking of which, the game features many ways for your dwarves to perish, but luckily if you make your fortress worth a bit of money, some more will come along.

Yeah, Wiki for me too. That should get many of the regular forum users here, but until the real forum is up, it'll be anarchy to a degree.
