It's been over a year since dwarf fortress last had a version released. The last time there was a wait this long, 3D happened (and the barrier to entry for people who hadn't already played the game hit everest like heights.)
This time, there is sophiticated anatomy (It's pretty certain that grappling attacks on exposed intestines will be possible, for instance) sophisticaed medical car e(well, sphisticated medieval dwarven medical care, which is different), randomly generated megabeasts (oh, a 40 ft tall bird man with razor sharp claws and poison breath) armies (go my dwarven minions, destroy all before you) and goodness knows how many other awesome and amazing things.
So I'm geeking out. And I'm prbably going to run a fortress with individual dwarves. And they may well have names that some of you will recognise. And I might just issue the odd bulletin about how suo and so fell 20ft into boiling magma after a trap went wrong, and her husband went mad, stripped off and threw himself into the cave river to fight carp until he died.
It's going to be win.
