When All You Have Is a Hammer: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' players joke that there is one thing in the game that can deal with all other troubles - [http://dwarffortresswiki.org//Magma Magma]. This was so even before minecarts made liquid management cheaper and safer, and heat-stabilization of magma pump stack (preventing most of simulation slow-down it causes) was invented - see also ''Boatmurdered'' below:

{{quote|Magma is very well known for being the perfect solution to any problem encountered by dwarves. Giant badger invasion? Pour magma on it. Noble being his usual snotty, useless, arrogant self? Pour magma on it. Door locked due to invaders? Pour magma on it! Flooded your fortress with magma? <s>Start pouring magma out of it.</s> Congratulations, you just won the game!}}

* One of the most iconic weapons in video game history is the [[Impossibly Cool Weapon| impossibly cool Buster Sword]] used by Cloud Stryfe in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''. In the original game, this was Cloud's "starter" weapon, and like most characters in RPG games, he'd swap it for something better rather early. However, during the time between the original version and remake, the Buster Sword has become ''so'' ~~ironic~~ that fans would want to lynch the developers if they forced a player to do that, so in the remake, Cloud has it for the whole game, the player able to upgrade its capabilities using XP points, causing the weapon to gain power as Cloud does. Of course, you ''can'' give him a new weapon, but honestly, you wouldn't be playing this game if you wanted to do that.

** And it's not just Cloud; the "starter" weapons used by the other playable characters can be upgraded the same way.
