The Gravity-Challenged Terrarian

Time after time I am gravitated back to this thread. Gravity's quest for the domination of laws of physics is almost complete!
[[Don't worry. Still haven't forgotten. Just on the back-burner for a little bit. (Read - I'm lazy. Sorry. :( )

I'm currently doing an expert Archer playthrough in my spare time for now, and I have to say - it feels good to be back doing a full Terraria playthrough after playing so much Minecraft for the past year or so.

Once the Archer playthrough is done (Currently Pre-Plantera, Post-Mech), I reckon I'll be ready and raring to go on continuing Gravity's adventure.

As a side note, I was working on the OOA event, and it was coming along well for the most part... but I just can't put aside the fact that there is no salvageable in-game sound. The best I can do is slap some music on top of what is essentially a silent movie reel. It works but... eh. It still seems a little off. We'll see if that ever sees the light of day.]]
 
Don't worry about it. Wait, I have an idea... Just put any relevant Terraria soundtracks over the video so you have music! No need to edit in gunfire or spell sounds, we can survive without those. I'm doing my own Expert mode playthrough as well, I'm post Golem, post Martian Madness and I didn't assign myself a class to stick to, to wield all of Terraria at my fingertips. I'll almost always be here to revive your thread, so do whatever it is that you love the most, X.
 
[[Doo be doo, don't mind me.]]
[[Still bummed about the lack in-game audio, but I think this came out really nicely, all things considered. I'll be sure to double check my microphone settings next time...]]

~Hooray, Hooray, It's Finally Here~
 
[[An interesting quirk I found while watching the video all the way through...

In the sped up section, TB looks like he's moving a frame every half-second. Cool little effect, but weird with all the projectile spam.

Plus, no smart-sampling FTW. Video looks much crisper than the previous ones IMO. :D]]
 
well that actually went very well for gravity's first time considering he has never done it before and is *POST-GOLEM*
No kidding. I was kinda impressed with his performance.
But, be honest. You have looooooved to see him be brutalised by Betsy.
Of course. But he still did well, even though he only had a Tier 1 Sentry from the Tavernkeep.
 
Poor Gravity has to swing Terra Blade more before he gets a better Lightning Aura sentry. I'll say the future loot from Betsy will *ahem* SPIN HIM 'ROUND!

...But Tsunami's effective against Ogre and Betsy, he might wanna try that more next time.
 
do the staffs have voices like the other weapons?
[[No. Not in my headcanon.]]

Let's check in on Gravity, see how he's doing after the OOA...

Whhhhyyyyy do these weapons have to be sooooo expensiiiiiiive...
I'm starting to have second thoughts about keeping you around...
20170530155706_1.jpg

Eh. I have a few spare platinum coins lying around. Why not.
*SPOILER ALERT - He never uses it. Congrats on your 2 plat paperweight.*

So I guess I should get started on that bridge you two mentioned last time, correct?
Well, unless you want to meet your Ma-
Right OK, I got that part, I'm going.
20170530155819_1.jpg

MY EYES! I HAVE SNOW IN MY EYES!
Hah. Eyes. Such a primitive notion.
I LITERALLY CANNOT HEAR A THING YOU JUST SAID, BUT I'M GOING TO ASSUME THAT MY RESPONSE IS 'SHUT UP TB'.
20170530155918_1.jpg

At least I can take shelter in this tunnel I built.
And hey! Giant ice monster cheesing FTW!
20170530160216_1.jpg

Well, while I'm here, I might as well get a little bit of this pretty blue biome to spread. I've heard from MM that I potentially missing out on some pretty good stuff without a proper area to farm it out in.
20170530160309_1.jpg

It seems to be working. I got this horn from one of the horned horsies from that biome.
Plus, the bridge is... slowly getting there. Why does block placing have to take so long...
20170530160440_1.jpg

Sooooo loooong...
20170530160723_1.jpg

Finally! There's the Dungeon. I'm pretty sure MM said that the bridge didn't need to go further than this... and thank goodness for that.
20170530160806_1.jpg

Buuuut while I'm here, let's keep spreading this biome for farming purposes later.
20170530161054_1.jpg

I will admit, this isn't necessary, but it just looks 100 times better than the jaggy mess it was before.
20170530161224_1.jpg

...I'm pretty sure everyone know my feelings on these plants by now.
20170530161422_1.jpg

Yeah. Meteorite-struck Crimson tunnel, you're gonna have to move.
20170530161523_1.jpg

Annnnd back to boring block placing again.
20170530161756_1.jpg

There we go. FINALLY. The bridge to the right of my house is finally done.
Part 1 of 2 complete. Now he just needs the left side.
I've got the popcorn packets here, ready to cook.
NO! Not yet! I want them to be out of the microwave as soon the fun starts. Gravity still has, like, 2 or more chapters before we can think of cooking popcorn.
...fine. We'll see you guys next time for Chapter 64.
 
Hey X, got a question for ya. If my favourite biome is the Corruption, and if I like Blood Butcherer's character as a Crimson sword, does this mean I have universal appreciation of both biomes?! *hopeful expression*

Well... it's sounds like you have appreciation for all of the Corruption, and only 1 weapon out of the entire Crimson biome. I wouldn't classify that as 'universal appreciation' technically.
Oh come now, X. You are delving too deep into this. Let the man enjoy appreciating the Corruption and the Crimson as he sees fit.
But but but... technicalities!
Sparkling mineral water X! Not everything needs to be explained in 100% detail without moving left or right from the technical definition.
 
I don't know what to say here.
20170530161818_1.jpg

Ohhhh. That's what I've been missing out on. Cool arrows!
20170530161941_1.jpg

I didn't have a lot of the horns though... Let's fix that.
20170530162126_1.jpg

Oh! Cool! Rainbow coloured bricks dropped from those rainbow coloured slimes!
20170530162259_1.jpg

Yeah, look! There's another slime! Awww, how cute, he's stuck.
20170530162322_1.jpg

And another...
20170530162526_1.jpg

And another!
20170530162541_1.jpg

Huh. I didn't know those ghost enemies had alarm clocks on them... where would they put them anyway??
20170530162954_1.jpg

There's what I'm looking for! But I probably need quite a few more...
20170530163016_1.jpg

Hello, more horns!
20170530163637_1.jpg

Huh.
Oh yeah. I made this little divot in the bridge, just to keep the spawn spaces above me off screen.
20170530163845_1.jpg

Cool! A shiny apple! But I'm pretty sure this is the key to a mount... and mounts don't work in my perspective. Dangit.
20170530164110_1.jpg

Who knew that an alarm clock could combine with a map to make a sheet of paper with some text on it.
20170530164405_1.jpg

Oh yes, let's not forget the arrows.
20170530164523_1.jpg

And while I'm here, let's give the shiny golden armor its own stand.
20170530164622_1.jpg

Wow. Stingy Goblin much.

So... I guess I should probably get back to work.
20170530165139_1.jpg

Yeah... at least this side isn't as bad as the other one. I've pretty much done it to the entrance to the Jungle.
20170530165725_1.jpg

Bridge is fully complete! At long last!

...oh dear.
Dammit! Now the popcorn has really got to wait.
I don't think the editor will do a second round of Martian Madness in a video... so I think it shouldn't as long before we see the end of this.

I reckon you can probably get the popcorn cooking after the next chapter.

Brilliant. We'll see you guys next time for Chapter 65.
 
Gravity made an excellent choice. Holy Arrows are the best choice when it comes to pretty much every mob or boss. Though I am curious as to what the very long bridge is for; whatever it is, it sounds like a little more than ease of access.
 
...I had completely forgotten about the rarity of Rainbow Slimes.
Damn you and your crazy ridiculous luck, Gravity.

I really want to eat this popcorn, so let's check in on him...

20170530165936_1.jpg

Gah! Aliens everywhere! Get away you slimy scoundrels!
20170530170110_1.jpg

Well, one advantage of this large bridge. The Alien ship can't hit me!
20170530170150_1.jpg

Cool! A staff of some sort.
20170530170220_1.jpg

Heh. Completely safe.
20170530170302_1.jpg

Hmmm, looks like a hook...
20170530170511_1.jpg

I've defeated quite a few of these alien ships now... I'm kinda tired of seeing them constantly spawn once I kill them.
20170530170636_1.jpg

...I think it's done.

Finally.
20170530171045_1.jpg

Thank you Goblin for not being stingy today.
20170530171143_1.jpg

...these plants man.
20170530172222_1.jpg

So yeah... as much as those aliens were a pain... I kinda want to see if the alien ships have some more drops I haven't seen yet.
*10 MORE MARTIAN SAUCERS AND SOME BORING SKIPPED SCREENSHOTS LATER*
20170530173342_1.jpg

Wow. Okay. The alien ships kept coming in droves, and I got a lot of things.

Plus, this gun. Apparently plants have guns.
20170531113535_1.jpg

Before you ask, yes. I want to do this just one more time.

*YET ANOTHER MARTIAN MADNESS LATER... I MEAN SERIOUSLY GRAVITY. THIS IS GETTING EXCESSIVE*
20170531204757_1.jpg

Annnnd that's that. Even more drops from the ships.

I think that's enough aliens for today.
*CASUALLY DOESN'T MENTION JUNGLE KEY*
20170531205210_1.jpg

This alien weapon looks really cool... it spits out machine gun lasers!
20170531205357_1.jpg

I'm also kinda bummed I let the crystal be destroyed last time, so let's have another crack at it!
20170531210204_1.jpg

...dammit.
Wave 6 again. Impressive.
But surely. SURELY. We're getting close.
It could possibly be after the next chapter.

So you know what to do.

FINALLY. Popcorn is going in the microwave. We'll see you next time for Chapter 66.
 
My Martian Probe luck is on par with Gravity's, and my Rainbow Slime luck is better. Unfortunately I get tiny amounts of Ice Golems (at least on my current Expert playthrough), so barely any Frost Armor. He also seems to have my Influx Waver luck.

I also haven't beaten Tier 3 of OOA, and I even went out of my way to defeat the Lunatic Cultist before Fishron.

But I admit that my OOA shortcomings are due to a lack of Flameburst Towers. Those solve everything, in my experience.
