** Jim Raynor hanging out in Bay 12, with a Dwarf. If anything, someone in Blizzard seems to be a fan.
* [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=80043.0 This thread] chronicles the adventures of SpiralDimentia and forum members managing to trick him into removing the [[Unusual Euphemism|cotton candy]] sword from a [[Unusual Euphemism|curious structure]] and experiencing [[Legions of Hell|spoilers]]. To his credit he took it with a great sense of humor and it turned into an epic thread of awesomeness.

* The recent reclamation of Battlefailed has been amounting a large number of these, the first one being turning the sludge covered, toxic floors of the old Fortress into a defense against everything from kobold thieves to rampaging forgotten beasts. Choice picks include the successful cleanup of the decades of waste lying around in Battlefailed's exterior, the exploitation of Forgotten beasts' builder destroyer trait to create a potent trap against them, and the epic fight between a goblin warlord and a dwarven champion who had just recently been turning the warlord's brethren into pincushions atop the ruin of Fail Cannon. Unfortunately, the restoration and near activation of Fail Cannon seems to be a lost opportunity for now, since the Goblin siege that had prompted the Cannon's activation was annihilated long before the Cannon finished powering up.

* In [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=94084.0 this fort], they had a 7-year old who was cornered by HFS after the entire rest of the fort had been slaughtered. The 7-year old then proceeded to dodge every single attack for almost half a year before finally succumbing to starvation. To quote a forumgoer "a child dodged demons until he starved. Not passed out, not even dehydrated. That isn't a ninja, that's a glitch in [[The Matrix]] turning one dwarf kid into Urist McNeo."
