I don't think there's a demo, but I'm pretty sure if you can run Minecraft you can run this. ALSO: The single play is still pretty fun, too.

Minecraft is hardware rape compared to other games, so you should definitely be able to run it.

Kim · 05-19-2011, 11:02 PM

There are some things that make me feel like Notch is not as clever as he'd like people to believe. Minecraft lagging on ANYTHING despite being ugly and made of boxes is one of them.

Aldurin · 05-19-2011, 11:10 PM

It took him forever to add an option to remove buried blocks from the active memory, and Notch is a bit of a douche, especially when he was throwing around the ideas of "only obsidian can make blocks float" or "torches should be made temporary". But it's just one of those downsides.

At least Blue (Terraria's PR guy) has said that they're trying to go for the features that people will like, and not adding annoying bullshit like creepers (that was forgiven 99.999% though) or animals that hijack your minecarts.

Minecarts would be nice.

As well as some monster spawn scaling that will make singleplayer seem less like it requires more people to actually play once you get down far enough. Keep getting cluster-raped by forever spawning Imps that shoot fire through all walls and hordes of Bone Serpents

Yeah, I saw a discussion between Mr Podunkian and Notch where the former was criticizing Notch for not implementing something to let people mod Minecraft more safely, despite using user created code in his game, and Notch called him a troll and just generally came off as kind of a jerk.

I have just confirmed beyond the shadow of a doubt that the dungeon hates you and wants you to die, regardless of how well geared and prepared you are. That said, I am well geared and even have a lot of items I would just love to give away to anyone who is up for some shenanigans. If anybody can run a server, I would love to just throw all this free shit at them just to motivate them to run said server.

Among these free things are*: 1 Heart Crystal, 3 Mana Stars, 1 Flaming sword of doom, 1 molten bow, 1 whatever the fuck else I feel like I don't still need or have dupes of.

*subject to change based on whether conditions and what mood Im in at the moment.

Re: Meteorz, dig deep, lead water to lava, or bring buckets. Get 20 obsidian and craft them into a skull. Should make meteors not wreck your face.

Eye of Cthulhu is annoying, but easy. I've got like four summons saved up, just gonna blow them all and shoot straight for demonite. If you just build a giant sky road at say, 800 height, you've got all the room in the world to kite him around, and it's great for blood moon/star farming.

E: Also I have a spare grappling hook if someone doesn't have one yet. Freebie etc.

I just purchased Terraria it is officially time to party.

By which I actually mean it's time for me to die repeatedly until I get the hang of things.

EDIT: My character's name is Pinkie Pie and her homeworld is Equestria.

AUTOMATIC VICTORY

EDIT 2: Heeeey they actually got the genders right, she shouts in a feminine tone when attacked!

...Also DEAR GOD I SUCK AT THIS WHAT AM I DOING AND WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SLIMES AND MY ATTACKS ONLY DO 1 HP OF DAMAGE AAAAAAHHHHHHH

Pip Boy · 05-20-2011, 03:10 AM

Dont worry, everybody gets killed a lot by the slimes when they're a newbie. Someday you'll be like us pros and get killed a lot by giant lava snakes instead.

Seriously though, I've got like 600 hellfire ore. If anybody wants to just host a thing for NPF guys to play on, I'll give them a piece of that.
