Trying out Terraria

After waiting 2 weeks to get empath onto Skype and play Terraria multiplayer, I gave up and went solo.

THIS IS THE MOST CONVOLUTED GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED.

How so, you ask?

1. The escape key does nothing. If you use the default controls, escape is used there (I customize mine). Any other game allows escape to well, escape from menus and get to the main menu for quitting.

2. The mouse wheel is backwards. Scroll up to go down menus, scroll down to go up.

3. A side-scroller that uses WASD. I’m sure I can use the cursor keys, which I likely will, because why does a side-scrolling game need up, left, right and down keys? Left and right, yes, just to move around, but up and down? What’s the point of the jump key?

4. You have to stand right next to something in order to do anything. No space between you and the crafting table or that block of ore, no no!

Since I’m on a gaming rant, I found out what my problem is with Steam. It doesn’t like starting a game from my desktop via shortcut. The shortcut opens Steam anyway, but that’s not good enough. I have to open Steam and play games that way. So, what’s the point of allowing me to get a desktop shortcut if you keep buggering up when I use it?

And in case you were wondering, empath still can’t play New Vegas, DE:HR, etc. etc.. Of course, no one connected with Steam/Valve acknowledges that there’s a problem.

ION, the diet is going alright. I’m cranky, tired and hungry and I hate it. I’m also very, very bored.
