Hot Topic How Did You Come Across Terraria?

[raymcxbox360]

I'd heard about it here and there across the interwebs, as well as the occasional Minecraft Splash art. Didnt care, saw a pic or two was like meh, then about three or four nights ago was just googling games for older computers (mines not old per say, just a cheap laptop) and one article was about it. Checked out a few vids, was interested, and now here I am. Am happy with the purchase. Great game

A friend showed it to me three years ago and the next day I bought it. I still love this game.

A friend told me about it and gave me a chance to try it out, and after about 30 minutes of playing, I said dude, this game is better than Minecraft and when I got home I bought it. In fact, I think Terraria is the best sandbox on the market.

BTW I got it during 1.1 and I use the same character every day.

A friend of mine introduced me to it earlier this year; was something all four of us played together for a few months on end. I've been stuck on it since.

some of you may know but when i got minecraft on my xbox it had a selection of similar titles one of which was terraria. i tried the trial which kind of frustrated me but when i got the actual game i loved it

The way I found out about it was through paulsoaresjr's many lets plays of the game. Wow, those videos are older than I remember...

Well it was late 2011, and... I don't remember. But I know it was late 2011.

I was in minecraft dusting off the machinery in my doom fortress to the tune of mobs getting blasted into their base components a floor below when a friend said "A minecraft like game just came out called terraria." I said "What the hell are you talking about?" Clicked their link and here I am today.

I saw one of my favourite youtubers PaulsoaresJR playing Terraria with his children. It looked interesting, so I bought it. It was worth every single cent.

I like how PaulsoaresJR does that. It's cool.

I saw a guy selling it on TF2Outpost for 2 TF2 Keys, so I decided "Why not?" And had alot of fun.

Only found out about Terraria youtubers like 2 months ago ;P

It was in 2012, when I was full on Minecraft. I've been playing MC in my desktop PC, but one day I got really sick, so I couldn't use the PC because I needed to stay in bed all day.
I got an old laptop that couldn't run Minecraft, so I searched a similar game that I could run. The Laptop could barely run Terraria, but it was overall playable. Got a BLAST with it

I found stampy on YouTube since I watched his minecraft I came across terraria.

This.

 

[FrostyFawx]

I watched Yogscast, they made a video on it, I started researching it back when it was in beta and started watching people like PaperBatVG until launch, I bought the hell out of it and haven't regret it since.

I bought the hell out of it

That is the best way I've ever seen someone put it.

TV tropes.

Thats how I met a LOT of other countless games, actually!

I played it at a friend's house and then fell in love with it.

Jack (a friend) talks about Minecraft with one of his other friends.

Like, a ton of months later- "Hey Jack, finally got Minecra-"
"That old game? Terraria FTW."
"Isn't it just a 2D Minecr-"
"Shut your face. It has a WAY better item system."

Even more time- "Hey Jack, I finally got Terr-"
"I don't give a about that game anymore."

EDIT: I call Jack a friend, but he's more of a "dude who tolerates you that is part of a group of people that hate you".
