Here's a most excellent archived version of a Something Awful thread about a relay of people playing the game.

By the time it got to StarkRavingMad's managerial tenure, I injured myself laughing.

    Note that this story is about a previous, simpler version of Dwarf Fortress, which didn't even let you make a fortress with more than one level.

    The very idea!

    I can't believe I just read the whole thing. Hilarious.

    Here's a big Penny Arcade forum thread about the game as it now stands.
