So I basically spent all of today playing Dwarf Fortress. You get a team of dwarves, and go out to the wilderness to build a fortress. It is sort of like Stronghold or Sim City combined with Nethack. It’s incredibly addictive, also. And presumably gets increasingly complicated! You should go check it out. There is fightin’, and tradin’, and economy buildin’, and I don’t know, it’s just generically fun. This half-assed post is brought to you by addictive little games that take up all of my time, forever, the end.

Seriously though, what is with these economy-building games that makes them so absurdly fun? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?
