The Binding of Isaac: now with more vague non-endings!

BugBoy

my favorite item so far is the stuffed animal head, don't remember what it's called

damage up is useful

plus isaac gets these huge sad eyes when you pick it up

it's adorably depressing

BugBoy

runner up is the mushroom that ups all your stats and makes you a giant

Nerdgasmic

I got a really weird combination of the snake that makes all of your shots wiggle and the item that makes your shots bounce back about halfway through their normal range

Magus`

Max's Head and Magic Mushroom.

Makes your tears larger due to increased SADNESS.

TheySlashThem

I don't think it's meant to be a stuffed animal's head, bugboy!

Magus`

Oh yeah, none of those animal heads are stuffed.

TheySlashThem

I've been watching this guy's let's plays of this game

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5PLC6nmOO4

it's already to like 65 parts

Magus`

Is he doing anything interesting? That's a lot of parts. It's a like a BoI centipede.

Nerdgasmic

I've been really enjoying it

he slowly gets better, and I don't think he really uses the wiki or anything so he goes in blind for the most part

BugBoy

he does some good lping

I've lost a lot of time watching those videos

it can be pretty entertaining sometimes

mostly it's so long since he's been doing them since the game came out

there's even a video where he plays right after the free halloween update but before all of its bugs were patched the next day and you see the fucked up glitched final boss

Magus`

Which one is that?

Magus`

Thanks! I love you TDoT.

Squall

apparently if you activate the book of shadows, you can use blood banks without wasting hearts

doesnt appear to make it more likely to give out a blood bag sooner, but it is an easy way to rack up the dosh

unfortunately in this latest run i got 99 coins by the depths but both levels had greed sitting in the shop

Magus`

I wouldn't be surprised if Greed showed up more often the more coins you had.

Squall

thats exactly the kind of bullshit logic i've come to expect from this game

TheySlashThem

greed is such a huge pain in the ass

oh fuck off man, there aren't any stores in the womb, this is my last chance to spend this shit unless I find a slot machine

though it becomes less of an issue if you unlock and manage to find the Money = Power item

Squall

i did just beat the game for the third time, unlocked the nail

still have only beaten it all the way thru with cain; lucky foot is just an incredible item

Magus`

I wonder if that item lets you go beyond your normal amount of power, like how the Onion lets you go beyond normal max tear rate.

TheySlashThem

listening to the super meat boy ost again

god damn danny baranowsky does great music

just

so good

Magus`

Is it free to download? I've never gotten SMB. :<

TheySlashThem

isaac ost is there too

and SMB is on steam you should totally get it

TheySlashThem

just unlocked the fetus!

babyeatingjesus

So noticed the blue rocks make for items if you bomb them, are there any such visual cues for fake walls?

TheySlashThem

not for the walls, no

generally the only clue you get is that secret rooms are usually connected to at least three other rooms

babyeatingjesus

MAN this game is tough, disturbing and fun!

It's such a heartbreak when you have a shitload of powerful items and then a fly kills you.

Squall

lately when i play i either bite it immediately on the first or second level (start with cain, no good upgrade, headless horseman boss)

or complete the game

Nerdgasmic

I'll never top the run where the first treasure room had x-ray specs

I think those are the best passive item

Magus`

Dr. Fetus is the best 'passive' item. I will fight anyone who disagrees.

BugBoy

the giant red flies get me every time

not so much because they explode into blood, but because they're big and come in packs and corner me

Squall

the worst rooms are the ones filled with those stomach enemies

rooms filled with knights are a close second

Magus`

Just wait until you unlock Dr. Fetus, Squall.

You will be in heaven.

Bedlam

Only on the demo but the biggest problem Ive had is narrow alley ways with those charging grubs. No where to hide from them.

Squall

i do love technology tho; makes very short work of knights since it damages them from the front

Nerdgasmic

I don't like Technology so much, particularly for certain bosses where it's not the best idea to stand in front of them while you're firing

LOOK AT THIS

Squall

thats twenty five minutes long!

Magus`

Well, some of it! Just to get an eye for how amazing the Fetus is!

yeah, I hate that

I guess tears up or damage up items are necessary to do those parts without taking a hit
