The Binding of Isaac series. GOT A QUESTION? USE THE WIKI: http://bindingofisaacrebirth.gamepedia.co - Games

I hope you don't mind me borrowing an avatar!

This has probably been posted in the past, but[URL="http://www.twinfinite.net/blog/2012/10/01/big-sloppy-slomper-chompers/"] here's[/URL] the interpretation of The Binding of Isaac is, acccording to Edmund, “By far the most mind blowingly accurate break down of the over arching meaning behind the binding of isaacs ending.” Yeah, I figured it had been posted already. I don't read this thread too closely.

[QUOTE=kapin_krunch;39750760]Saucy, new thread. Starting to feel like Mom's Heart is the easiest fight in the game. I entered it with only one heart and somehow survived.[/QUOTE] I don't know about the heart, but I remember beating mom with only one heart left the very first time I fought her. Beginners luck to the max.

So I used a telepills and this happened in my pretty good run.. [t]http://i.imgur.com/K5MAM1k.png[/t] Well shit.

how do you even.

The worst part in this game is the rooms with enemies in the middle surrounded by rocks. It's like, if you have no bombs or bomb projectiles or a teleportation thing that's it. You lose. Hate this shit.

If I have Mom's Knife as Samson and still die, does that mean Samson is really that shit of a character or do I just suck?

If you have the dead cat, you can exploit your way to getting two level four meat boys from the same boss. If you killll yourself in the room with the horseman after the item has spawned, you will respawn outside, and the boss will be there again, but the item will still be there. You can keep doing this for more meat boys, but you need to have bombs or some other way of killing yourself. You can also do this to farm items from normal boss rooms.

[QUOTE=Winner;40205982]I believe you can also do this if you spawn a fly from a slot machine and leave the room, too Haven't tried in ages though so that one might have been patched[/QUOTE] That was patched ages ago. I remember farming D6 charges and item drops by shooting corny poop in order to spawn a fly after the room was already cleared, then just exiting and re-entering.

Oh god this will take forever.. [img]http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/5582/timee.jpg[/img]

[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxhIDco3sXo[/url] NL interviewing Edmund about Rebirth Good stuff

Stream's over

Stream is over, cool stuff I've heard: - There's gonna be a HP cap because Edmund thinks it's OP :c - Wiggle worm is now a SERIES of trinkets that change the way your tears move instead of being a shitty item. NEAT - There are now very unique familiars(e.g. Chubby) instead of being slightly changed turrets And a really cool new item: Tiny planet(small moon impaled in your face) When you shoot a tear, it starts orbiting around you like a fly Synergises with laser(laser ring duuuh)

NL: "We're off the air" is still on the air

[QUOTE=Blueplastic;40307816]And a really cool new item: Tiny planet(small moon impaled in your face) When you shoot a tear, it starts orbiting around you like a fly Synergises with laser(laser ring duuuh)[/QUOTE] Tiny Planet + Ipecac RIP Isaac

So I have 2 unlocks left. Shears and the hairball. Happily enough I find dead cat and the tail. But not that third item I need so badly. Eventually... [img]http://i.imgur.com/asAl4QC.png[/img] :suicide:

Well Shears is relatively easy; just die like it's your first time playing Super Meat Boy.

[quote=Edmund]the isaac fight was as close to bullet hell we could do but real bullet hell usually means tons of slow moving bullets that cover the screen and require lots of movement while shooting. the isaac fight just shot tons of tears at you but not in the way i wanted.. i wanted walls of tears to maneuver through as you fought him.[/quote] Thank god. Isaac and ??? aren't going to be bullshit in Rebirth.

Oh this is wonderful! I always fancied this game to be rather bullet-hellsy, and whilst Isaac/??? were just retaliation spam in Phases 1 and 2, having them have bullet patterns like other bosses (Satan Phase 2 is a good example of a bullet hell boss done right in Isaac) would have me enjoying Rebirth a lot, since I kinda like bullet hell shooters. Speaking of which, is it worthwhile getting into the Touhou games?

[QUOTE=ironman17;40399273] Speaking of which, is it worthwhile getting into the Touhou games?[/QUOTE] If you like to dodge shit. Yeah.

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;40395029]Thank god. Isaac and ??? aren't going to be bullshit in Rebirth.[/QUOTE] FINALLY no more luck based boss

Speaking of which, is it worthwhile getting into the Touhou games?[/QUOTE] Considering Isaac's scope, I doubt it'd be possible to be any more bullet hell than the boss of the Super Ego stage in Bit.Trip Void. [video=youtube;mlVYJZhF3Kw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlVYJZhF3Kw[/video] Boss is at the 11:30 mark. Simply put, most, if not all bullet hell games have everything with super small hitboxes, so you only really get hit if the center of the player collides with the center of a bullet.

Wish Rebirth didn't have those ~retro~ graphics, I really like the current design and switching it to some 8bit mock-up would really take away the game's identity.

BEHOLD, THE POWER OF POLYPHEMUS AND BRIMSTONE [IMG]http://puu.sh/2HNP5.gif[/IMG] GET FUCKED, GREED

I know man, to hell with that guy and his homies. He's kinda worthwhile if you're in a situation where you know there's a shop on the next floor, but if he shows up on Depths/Necropolis 2 he ain't worth it, and the other Greed-like enemies don't even drop the Coins they steal from you. Speaking of Coins, here's an idea for a Rebirth spacebar item; Charity Basket. Basically when it's toggled on, the damage you take subtracts Coins instead of Health, kind of like the Magic Armour in Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Also, whilst we're at it; an Item called Republican Healthcare that converts your Coins into Red Health; sort of a Yum Heart without the cooldown and costs money to activate. Unsubtle political satire, ho!

Holla holla [img]http://i.imgur.com/guKFDch.png[/img] The game also decided to throw me like three 2-of-Diamonds cards. A pity I couldn't find Money=Power, but at least Bum Friend was there to turn the extra cash into consumables and trinkets.
