The Terraria Times: Corruption Control and Battling bosess

Another busy week deep within Terraria of course although I might have played a couple other puzzly type games but I think ‘ll write about those later.

I’ve mostly completed my aimless building projects now and stocked up on a lot of the needed materials. Lots of monster bitsies and plenty of ore. I was gong to start on my underground frozen fortress and maybe a pirate ship within one of the oceans (that’s totally still going in) but it seems someone was too eager and initiated Hard mode ahead of schedule.

Link Dead Radio: Hats, Halloween, and making a Home

The Links

• Gamasutra has an interview with the Fullbright company about what goes into making an engaging story and the decisions behind Gone Home

• A large interview delving deep into the mechanics and world of Destiny

• Herding Cats is arguing that pay to win can include the purchase of hats. My end game tends to revolve more around cosmetics at times so I have to agree as well

• GamerDame furthers her discussion on the variety of female Protagonists we tend to get in games

• Null Signifier explores what it means to gank and certain restrictive mechanics

• There is a post exploring our psychological propensity to be asses towards eachother online at Life as a Digital Salad

• And of course I had to include one Halloween inspired post; I’ve read plenty of ones about movies, food, monsters and games but this one about Four frightening Industry facts was amusing

The Vids

Shroud of Avatar might be good, although I am a little nervous now

So excited for the Repopulation and it’s not a murky grey pixel graveyard anymore.
