[QUOTE=Blueplastic;34288917][url]http://twitpic.com/88pymf[/url] New DLC screenshot[/QUOTE] So that pretty much confirms that the basement is getting updated?
[QUOTE=Sherd Red;34297855]So that pretty much confirms that the basement is getting updated?[/QUOTE] No, he's adding the Cellar. Also, I just beat Satan for my 2nd time Mom's Knife get (First time was with Maggy) [editline]19th January 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Someoneuduno;34274433]Holy shit. How is that the last thing you have to do? I got the shears just after I beat the game four times.[/QUOTE] Uhm I got shears before I even killed Mom's Heart once I suck
I made it to the fight with Satan for the first time just now. Holy [B]FUCK[/B] that was an adrenaline rush. I wasn't expecting him to be so difficult. I died to one of those explosive snakes while he was in his second or third form. God damn...

[QUOTE=Spearman;34298015]No, he's adding the Cellar.[/QUOTE] Isn't a cellar pretty much the same thing as a basement? I like the theory that it would involve leaving the underground and going up through heaven. If that was the case, the new environment could be the attic. It would kinda make sense, like if Isaac sought revenge on God for telling his mom to kill him

She was about to kill him, and God stopped her hand, she's just batshit insane (like every christian) and thought God was telling her to kill him
Maybe Isaac is God's chosen one, but he has to pass THE TEST first. But I'm basically just throwing out wild speculation on no basis, because it could be cool if that's how things turned out.
A special thanks goes out to Sherd Red for getting me a copy of this game for a copy of Revenge of the Titans... you the man! In other news, can't wait to try this out! Seems like its a high-caliber game.

Note how the "Bible killing mom" conclusion ends with Isaac leaning away from his drawings while a very clearly living Mother appears in the doorway, and how the Sheol ending reveals that all the playable characters are just Isaac playing pretend, he never left his room, and still needs to hide.[/sp]
Yeah Edmund even said on his formspring [sp]that Isaac can't be saved[/sp]

I'm fairly sure that Mum being alive in the door way, and all those different endings were just the creators adding replay value and trying to make the game seem a lot more deep than it actually is. I'm fairly sure there's no actual way to explain what happens. I'm not denying that Isaac is a creepy crossdresser though.[/sp]

[sp]Uh blue baby is nothing more than a reference to the creators old dead baby newgrounds cartoons. I wouldn't read too far into it.[/sp]
I can't even get to mom... I suck :smith:

Having trouble with ??? (just unlocked him) - the game seems way harder with him and for some odd reason pills seem to have a negative effect most of the time when playing him :/ Any advice appreciated! [editline]20th January 2012[/editline] I got Basement Boy and Spelunker Boy (with other characters) so I am really not sure how I die every time with ??? in these areas.

[editline]20th January 2012[/editline] Just train hard on playing Isaac without taking damage, and you're good to go for a Blue Baby run.
Is the damage increase from the Nail permanent?
[QUOTE=Tyler72493;34312407]Is the damage increase from the Nail permanent?[/QUOTE] You have to use it on a room for it to take effects lol.
[QUOTE=Maruhai;34312540]You have to use it on a room for it to take effects lol.[/QUOTE] I was wondering if that was only for the rock-breaking effect. Good thing I didn't pick it up. Thanks :)
[QUOTE=Tyler72493;34312850]I was wondering if that was only for the rock-breaking effect. Good thing I didn't pick it up. Thanks :)[/QUOTE] The only permanent effect of the Nail (that stays over rooms) are the blue hearts it gives you at each use.
Fuck are you serious The game crashed right after I beat Satan. Twice.

Playing as BB allows you to train better at avoiding hits and thus you become far better even if it means dying a lot.
Beat Satan with Cain. Went in with full health, My Little Unicorn, The Sun, The Wafer and Mom's Knife. He didn't stand a chance. Now I have to kill him with Eve, ??? and Judas [editline]20th January 2012[/editline] While going for Satan kill as Eve, I found the D6 in store for 15 coins. I had 14. I ragequit.
I finally beat Satan as Cain. At my friend's house. :suicide:
I can't seem to get past the Womb 1. Any tips?
[QUOTE=butters757;34334269]I can't seem to get past the Womb 1. Any tips?[/QUOTE] If you're having trouble with the enemies that mirror your movements and shoot back, take them out by planting a bomb, and then positioning them on top of it. A quick way to remove them if you've got other enemies in the room to deal with.
