So Blue got epically trolled by The Best Gamers and took the bait. The "review" of Terraria is somewhere between a parody, a purposeful misrepresentation of the game and an outright troll bait to the community and the devs. Someone, it's being said Blue, contacted Youtube and had them take the video down, although I'm not sure on what grounds. Blue closed his Facebook account he was getting harassed there and his deviantArt page, which was featured in the video showing some of his poetry.

They were playing the leak in the review, which is probably why it got pulled down. Stupid drama aside, Blue is getting a healthy dose of BS with his fame and monies and he doesn't seem to take it very well. I wonder if this is just what happens to an indie game that goes mega-hit so quickly, or if they seriously pissed some people off along the way.

During the testing phases, Blue had some issues with 4chan. Impersonators and such. After /v/, I guess Blue has become a bit trigger happy in fighting back against trolls

I knew about the alpha leak and 4chan. I dunno if this is actually connected to that.

I found that storing water and then dumping it seems to increase the amount of water.

What app produced this screenshot? I'm assuming you didn't draw it by hand in MS Paint...

yes, water have a tendency to loose quantity when moving

Only when emptying as one "level" into lava.  It is evaporated without any thought for how much quantity is going through.
Though if you're playing online, there is a nasty tendency for water to multiply.  It can, for no apparent reason at all, stop draining at the top, but continue draining at the bottom, IE infinite water.

Storing and dumping a la buckets?  If you're talking about just creating tunnels, and this is on an MP server, see above.
I've never seen problems with water in SP, apart from the infinite drainage that can be caused if you get a small enough quantity flowing onto lava at a time.
Buckets just move singular blocks.  If, for some reason, you're able to grab not-full blocks of water, that would be the cause of bucket water-multiplication.  But I didn't think you could.

And people said infinite water would be hard to pull off 

Seen this happen a lot. Basically had water frozen in mid-air for up to 10 minutes in a 100 foot waterfall.. Makes for a fun way to get down chasms, but I don't doubt it contributes to DCs, desyncs and worse. Restarting the server so the world settles the fluids is advisable, especially after doing lots of drainage.

Actually, maybe the water issues are related to something else, instead of being the cause of it. Who knows.

World viewer thingy. Makes paint-like maps based on your world files. Look at at fan forums, it's there somewhere.

Thanks, Haspen.

Also, I have decided that building in 2d is so much more fun than in 3d. So I'm going to start building myself a winding Dragon Tower to reach into the sky. Inaugural baby etching: http://i.imgur.com/4kVi6.png

Moogie, I am rebuilding my Home World. Can I please use your Dragon design to flank the tower that will reach the sky???

Anybody got a spare download they don't mind giving away? I'm short on money, and can't really afford to get one myself.

I have that, and it doesn't go into that much detail (labeling stuff). Is it a new version?

There's a symbols thing that you can turn on in the latest download, I wouldn't know if it was in earlier versions though.
Apparently, it's true that a meteor hasn't spawned yet since my first shadow orb was broken, which was a good in game week ago or much more. Is it ever going to spawn, or should I just break another orb?
