So, I've been playing Don't Starve avidly for the past couple days, while trying to avoid wikis and guides to keep it interesting.

I reach Day 35 and Winter is coming to an end. I found the Deerclops while rabbit hunting, so I make a mad dash for my base camp by the Pigs's Village. When I just reached my camp and warmed up by the fire for a bit, I hear the hound calls. Quick! Make a torch and head to the beefalo.

After skillfully scurrying round the Deerclops by the savannah, I find the beefalo in mating season! So, now I have a small herd of beefalo and about 5 hounds chasing me. Luckily, the beefalo aggro the hounds, so I have time to make a camp fire. While not freezing to death, I decide to celebrate the end of Winter and surviving hounds, mating beefalo, werepigs, and the Deerclops.

What better way to celebrate than shave my magnificent beard. I shave, they drop beside the fire, lite on fire and kill me.

All I can do is laugh at the irony, while fighting back tears of crushing remorse.

Tell me about it! Things were going so well and that had to happen. I don't think I'll play Don't Starve for a while...

Oh shit. I feel sorry for you. I hate such situations - well, who doesn't?

I feel terrible. Mainly because my base camp was so awesome! I had berry, twig, grass, and farms, plus I was surrounded by rabbits.

I hope you learned your lesson...that beard is too epic to be shaved.

My best game was also crushed in a similar way. Middle of the first winter (my first winter too), and the hounds come barging in. And then not one but two giant trees come and crush everything in my base. I died freezing, unable to gather enough resources in my base.

I really like the game, but it is quite difficult... There are a lot of mechanics you have to discover, and it is quite time-consuming to restart a game and reach those points again when you die.

Damn! I play Don't Starve since beta. Since the beginning, the idea of the game is: the enviroment will kill you, no matter how much you try. You will die. Like a boss or in a dumb way.

And I think its really fun. A game really difficult nowadays its the minority. I suggest you after that experience play Terraria in mediumcore/hardcore mode.

PS: sorry for the bad english
