[B]WOAH[/B] [I]Hold on.[/I] Why is this the first I'm hearing of an expansion to this game? I don't think I could be any more happier. As much entertainment I got out of Isaac for what little I paid, I'd easily pay more then the $3 asking price for the expansion.

Have any facepunchers done videos of their playthroughs?
Lifted from Joystiq but the Expansion Pack is titled "The Wrath of the Lamb." [quote]Tired of endlessly replaying Ed McMillen's latest title, The Binding of Isaac? You probably shouldn't be, as that's kind of the point, but there's an expansion on the way should that be the case. McMillen revealed the title of the update via Twitter, naming it "The Wrath of the Lamb," and offering roughly zero details about its content. He did note that he pulled the name from the Catholic Bible's Book of Revelations, and that "whoever wrote this part of the Bible has a profoundly epic imagination." The only info we've got so far is that it'll cost $3 and will apparently feature a whole mess of new items (over 205), including something called "trinkets" that will passively buff your character. No specific release date is given either, but it's intended to launch at some point in 2012.[/quote]

If that's the case fuck I need to unlock all the current things I can so I don't have that stuff to worry about :v: Also [IMG]http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/ScytheMan/Binding%20of%20Isaac/BIGGERTHANME.png[/IMG] That shit is bigger than my everythiing
[QUOTE=ironman17;34046962]Nice to see they're supporting this game like they did with SMB. But how much further down can Isaac go after Sheol and Satan?[/QUOTE] China :suicide:
I finally got to try mom's knife, and I can easily say I really hope the new character will be a melee character in the new expansion pack.
Anyone want to get me this for a copy of Revenge of the Titans? Titans is 5$ more expensive, and its a good game... I am just dying to try this.
The biggest asshole rooms are the ones that are like 1 cm wide bridges with the leeches flying at you constantly or the ones with no corridors and like 5 Knights coming at you They make "not getting hit" runs really fucking painful
[QUOTE=U-Lander;34099690]Anyone want to get me this for a copy of Revenge of the Titans? Titans is 5$ more expensive, and its a good game... I am just dying to try this.[/QUOTE] tomorrow?
I think the only achievements I have left to get are Mom's Contact and Golden God. I usually just quit before fighting Mom now, since the womb and sheol contain pretty much no special items. It's just kind of a chore to actually go the rest of the way. [editline]7th January 2012[/editline] Uuhhhhh I think I broke Satan. [img]http://i44.tinypic.com/b5mxrp.png[/img] When he brought his leg down, I froze him with mom's bra and killed him with mom's knife. Then he turned back into the statue, and a bunch of blood came out of the walls. Also, check out his health bar. I couldn't do anything to the statue, and it hurt me when I touched it, so I just killed myself there.
So it turns out that every character is just Isaac's split personalities, and IT LIVES! real name is Isaac. BASEMENT BOY GET! [quote][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/c4lv7.jpg[/IMG][/quote]

Out of all the bosses, gurdy is the most annoying. Any tactic that works pretty good against him?
[QUOTE=Gammashack;34106633]Out of all the bosses, gurdy is the most annoying. Any tactic that works pretty good against him?[/QUOTE]- Prioritize those little red pustules he starts with and can summon above everything else. If you can't kill one outright before having to avoid something, at least hit it a couple times so it "deflates" and stays dormant until you can have another go. If left unchecked these things will shoot out blood like macabre sprinklers and wind up more dangerous than Gurdy himself. - Once the pustules are dealt with, the big flies which can shoot projectiles are up next. They aren't nearly as worrisome as the pustules, but they can still get in the way while trying to deal with Gurdy. - Normal and "blinking" flies are meh. Don't go out of your way to deal with them, but give 'em a smack if they come to you or are in an area you want to move to. - When his support has been crippled, Gurdy is fairly simple. Mentally split the room into three areas: to the left of Gurdy, to the right of Gurdy, and in front of Gurdy. When Gurdy pulls his head into his main body, he is about to shoot a scattershot into the room section you were standing in when he started the animation. But if you are in a different section than where you were when he started, he will not change his plan to accommodate and miss you entirely with everything. So if you were to the left of him be in the center, if you are in the center veer left or right, ect. - Don't rush it; if he summons more helpers, dealing with them immediately at the expense of focusing on Gurdy will be a lot better in the long run than them all being able to gang up on you. There are no time limits, but there are most certainly health limits.
If you stay to the left side of the screen, the shooting flies will rarely ever fly over to you.
if you run to the side for a second, he'll try to attack from there, so you can run to the other side and start attacking.
I really sucked at this game when I started to play, now I can get through the womb without taking damage. Shit's fun.
The "Number 1" is the most sorry excuse for a tears upgrade I've ever seen.

[QUOTE=Sherd Red;34100615]tomorrow?[/QUOTE] Anytime! Just add me on Steam, my ID is gunneroid (it should be under my name)
[QUOTE=Gammashack;34106633]Out of all the bosses, gurdy is the most annoying. Any tactic that works pretty good against him?[/QUOTE] I just go on his left and shoot him. If he wants to damage you he haves to stick his head on the left and shoot a 5-6 blood drops and it's easy to dodge and if he drops those pustules kill the them if they can damage you(have the range to damage you). Easy mod.

[QUOTE=Sift;34116378]Split personalities yes, It lives though is just It lives, it ain't Isaac.[/QUOTE] It lives is the past self of Isaac.
[QUOTE==DarkStar=;34116547]It lives is the past self of Isaac.[/QUOTE] I'm not sure I follow, could you explain further?
Beat Satan as Judas. Good thing I had the wafer, had half a heart left when I killed him :v: Now all I have to beat Satan as is Maggy (don't like her at all...), Cain (like him a lot), Eve (like her less than Maggy), and ??? (it's cool, I guess) :suicide:

Dark Boy is the only thing I have left to do. Those enemies with the extendable necks fuck me over every time. ALL OF MY HATE.
[QUOTE=NiGHTS88;34125728]Dark Boy is the only thing I have left to do. Those enemies with the extendable necks fuck me over every time. ALL OF MY HATE.[/QUOTE] With luck, you can always employ the strategy: Keep an Emperor tarot card on you until you get to depths 1 Use that to immediately skip to the boss. Kill that one boss without getting hit Use the shovel item (we need go to deeper) to skip depths 2. That shovel is REALLY rare, usually found in secret rooms, but if you can get both of those items, it should be a breeze. It'll all hinge on your ability to beat whatever boss is on the first level without getting hit. You could also try keeping telepills on you until depths 1, and hoping that you end up in the "I am error" room. That's a lot more of a gamble though.
