My current skin! Quickman with a sword. A little redundant considering he has two boomerang launcher things on his wrists, but oh well.
Anyways, let us begin the tour of my Greeastlehouse, which, as the name suggests, looks as though a castle and a greenhouse collided and merged into one. Though I usually play on Peaceful mode nowadays because I am a huge wimp and don't like having to constantly be on the lookout for things trying to brutally slaughter me, at first I played on Normal, hence the ridiculous amount of glass. Each morning I'd flee my base and promptly spin round, and I was guaranteed to be met by the sight of a Creeper leaping off my roof and chasing after me. One time he brought his friend, which was not the most fun of experiences. Anyways, I started off with a sunroof of sorts so I could see if there was anything on my roof, and... it kinda went mad from there, as I built a glass tunnel so I could get to the cave opposite my base. Yeeaaahhhh.
But I digress! Here is a poorly made Creeper statue which doesn't really resemble one much because I made it too small. Hooray! My brother initially said I should make one as a joke, but I decided to take him up on that offer and spawned this eyesore. Still, I guess it adds character...?
There is lava beneath him. Why? I dunno, I thought it'd be kinda cool or something.
The entrance to my Greeastlehouse, complete with sign stating the obvious. Fun fact: for some reason I could not open the door at the side of the glass tunnel, so I smashed it to pieces with a block of wood. Fun times!
The... sub entrance, I guess? My base started off as a door and a few windows in the side of a hill, and then I decided to make a long sunroof over the entrance so THINGS WOULD STOP DROPPING ON MY FUDGING HEAD. And that is how my Greeastlehouse came into existence.
The inside! Not terribly fancy or anything, but it gets the job done. Or rather, it did, before I promptly stopped using it and started making my base larger. I still remember when it was a tiny, cramped little space and I had to block off the entrance with dirt. I have fond memories of clearing said dirt one morning to find a Creeper staring directly into my face. I then promptly shoved the dirt back where it was and sat in the corner of my base gently rocking backwards and forwards.
This is normally where I incinerate stuff, but I sorta kinda took the lava so I could put it under my hideous Creeper statue, and never replaced it. Doop
The back entrance to my base, which is very rarely visited. I also have fond memories of expanding my base on my very first night and accidentally creating an opening and coming face to face with a Creeper and some spiders. I then promptly shoved the dirt back where it was and sat in, what was back then, an incredibly small and thin excuse for a base and gently rocked backwards and forwards, feeling rather quite scared of all the noises coming from outside.
The next morning I revisited the opening I had created and there was still a Creeper there. And then I went to my front entrance and there was one waiting for me there as well! Hooray! Anyway, yet more glass ceilings, to prevent the same situations that plagued me every time I left from the front entrance.
A fairly recent staircase that connects to a short hallway which then in turn connects to a very long passageway which then finally connects to a series of very large caves. Yay!
Said hallway. Behind me is more hallway and an alternate entrance, but that's not very interesting to look at.
My storageroom because I was getting fed up of having chests scattered all over the place with random bits and bobs in them. The plants are to make the room look nicer.
DESCRIPTIONS OF THE WONDERS CONTAINED WITHIN. I don't really have Stoneman in that chest. If I were to shove any robot master into a cramped, dark, lonely, enclosed space underground, it would be Needleman. :>
MORE DESCRIPTIONS
These chests are not worthy enough to contain my belongings and so here they sit, devoid of signs and pictures. Really though, I don't have quite as much stuff as I thought I did. Still, better to have too much space than too little~
More signs, and the exit. Thrilling, isn't it.
There were originally some chests up there, but obviously, I moved them.
An incredibly long and tedious passageway. Yay! I totally did not steal the name from my brother. Nosirree.
For some reason this painting tends to startle me when it comes into view. I should probably change it at some point.
This was the first proper cave system I ever found. Despite being on Peaceful at the time, I was still paranoid as hell. Also I am now holding an egg for some reason.
S'more of the place. But I'm sure you've all seen things like this before so yeah, that's enough of that.
NOT CONTENT WITH WHAT I HAD DISCOVERED, I PROMPTLY DUG FURTHER DOWN.
I make the most informative signs
Well, there was lots of lava down here, before I had my way with it.
Just in case I ever forget
The alternate exit I mentioned a few screenshots ago. Conveniently, it is now night. Why is this convenient?
Because I think this is pretty.
My pitiful Creeper statue looms menacingly overhead.
My crop monitoring station, as my brother would put it. They were getting a little out of hand so I had them all decapitated.
My pool, which serves little to no use other than to look kinda nice at night.
My mother called me whilst I was in the middle of this so the sun was rising by the time I got back to it. Also, a chicken appears to be emerging from the egg I am holding. Ah, the wonders of life.
I wanted it to be night again so I sat and waited for it to be so. Anyways, the cave that was opposite my base. Turns out it wasn't as awesome as I thought it was going to be.
In an attempt to see if it could get any more interesting, I began to dig down. But we're not going to dwell on that.
I should probably have made the glass tunnel higher so I could actually have proper steps, but ho hum.
Hello, derpy sheep.
The view from atop my Greeastlehouse, rudely interrupted by Packard Bell Updater. Honestly, that thing will do anything for attention.
TREES
I see you, base~
Yeah, this isn't the most interesting of areas. I appear to have captured a chicken though.
Hello pigs. I must say, I am pleased by the lack of cows at the moment.
The Creeper is always watching.
The aftermath of the previously mentioned decapitations. The soil is still damp with their inner juices.
Aaaand that just about wraps it up for my really rather boring base! I'm sure Quickman would love to say goodbye, but unfortunately he is cursed to forever be facing the opposite direction from you. Poor guy.
