holy christ, my decision to exploit ultra greed and kill him hundreds of times appears to have had an unintended side effect

was at 20 something before. lmao I am so ok with this
Speaking of Eden, I've been using up my excess of tokens and have learned that character can be really infuriating, but not for the reasons others are.
First run, ipecac and D20... And practically no health or speed so I died on the second floor. Second run, spoon bender and tammy's head, but lowest possible damage and fire rate, so after three minutes of fighting one boss only to get hit at the last second and lose the devil deal, I aborted it out of mercy. Third run, monstro's lung and babylon, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get rid of my red hearts, since all the devil rooms were offerings and shitty angel rooms kept popping up, so I ended up dying to it lives thanks to low DPS and low speed. Last run I tried gave me scapular and humbling bundle with low speed AGAIN, and I ended up dying in a giant mask of infamy room under curse of darkness because on 3DS you literally can't see anything with that curse, and I ragequit for the night. Fuck. Me. Four potentially incredible runs killed by awful starting stats and bad luck.
I got 193 tokens, must have goten 6 pennies max.
I got bored so have some horribly drawn beggars

[QUOTE=AlphaAGENT;49135067]Spawns a nickel, when you try to pick it up, it spins over and becomes stuck to the ground.
You have to blow it up to be able to pick it up.
It's bullshit and literally just a downgrade.[/QUOTE]yeaaah can we take a minute to appreciate the fact one of your rewards for using a mediocre character that by legit means would take well over 100 greed runs to unlock is that the game gets shittier with its rng bullshit
beautiful
really not feeling it to 100% the game again. lots of the additions felt sort of under whelming to be honest, and this Keeper character sounds really shitty. especially the greed donation machine. Lost was already a huge pain in the ass to 100%, no way I'm doing all that shit again

That actually looks pretty close to the game's style though
Toss that Ed or Matt's way, I'm sure they'd get a kick out of it
I just got faster recharge, double charge and stores energy in greed mode.
Then I got the leaf that makes you invincible when you don't move.
Then I got the cutting shears.
From that point it was easy mode. Shear, stay still. Wait for charge, shear.

Why did the team even bother with making the flooded caves super secret room.
It's literally a waste of a good SS room that could have spawned.

I've had such mixed feelings with the DLC. There are a lot of cool new items but actually trying for 100% doesn't sound like any fun at all.
It was fun in original Isaac and pre-DLC Rebirth because doing all these different objectives as all these different characters just made the game more and more fun as you went on. Even doing that pain-in-the-ass stuff as the lost meant you could unlock some amazing items.
But now it's just like... why bother? I'm not gonna 100% a game just for the sake of having 100%, it has to be fun along the way.
The way it sits now I'd rather just fight mega satan or blue baby repeatedly as Eden, or any of the other characters. Just to try out the new items and shit that I DO have.
[QUOTE=Loofiloo;49137709]I'm not gonna 100% a game just for the sake of having 100%[/QUOTE]
I am lol. Can't resist. But I'm just gonna cheat like fuck via ctrl+alt+del quick save/loads for all the shit that isn't fun (challenges, keeper shit) so i can get all achievements again, then go back to just fucking about with eden and messing around with greed mode some more.
For those that don't know, exiting to the menu or starting a new level creates a checkpoint of sorts. Ctrl+alt+del and killing the bindingofisaac process will make the game think you crashed, and when you load the game up again you'll be back at your last checkpoint when you click 'continue'. In addition, alt+f4 on death (and only on death) will also send you back to your last checkpoint. Can use both to force your way through any unfun bullshit, and also stuff like finding out what items actually are without committing to them on curse of the blind, testing pills or synergies, finding out what beggars would payout with and how much it'd take, donating to those item changing blocks and seeing what all the items it'd offer are, or finding out where the item/boss rooms are so you don't have to go through unnecessary rooms and can thus get to boss rush/hush on time. You could also use it with Undefined to force an error room teleport.
This does have some side-effects. It'll re-roll the devil room from whatever it originally was (only once), and if done on the first floor, your starting items all get deleted. You should also avoid any 1up items, ESPECIALLY guppy's collar, since that can (sometimes?) cause you to die again when you restart the game and in the case of guppys collar, you could fail to respawn and die for good..... And another side effect of it is, if you do it too much, you might get into a habit of alt+f4ing on death and accidentally do it during a daily run, thus giving you an automatic score of 0 for that day (FUCK)
boyyyy you gotta be real tanky for hush, huh?
I've seen people on reddit claim error rooms were removed from Chest to prevent people looping the level over and over. Anyone know if this is true?
[QUOTE=postal;49137795]I've seen people on reddit claim error rooms were removed from Chest to prevent people looping the level over and over. Anyone know if this is true?[/QUOTE]
Hope not. i love doing that
Why even remove that? What did it hurt?
It's THE reason to keep hold of undefined
Hey, I could be imagining this but didnt Ed once said we would be able to re-play the run after we beat it? Like as soon as we were done with the Chest we could go back to the Basement?
Someone mentioned this before, but I would just like to reiterate that the sticky nickel doesn't turn a nickel into a sticky nickel. Instead, whenever coins spawn, there's an additional chance that a sticky nickel might spawn. So it's not a detriment, it's just kind of useless 99% of the time.
edmuuuund

Also, kamikaze seems broken. Played as Eden, started with kamikaze and 666, and using active item doesn't damage me
I can't wait for the post-morterm blog post, I really want to know what the hell Ed is thinking
making up item ideas really isn't that difficult. even if it is, clearly Edmund can do better for unlocks than "fuck you, co-op baby, useless, useless, fuck you, upgraded version of something already in the game, fuck you, co-op baby, co-op baby"?
seriously. The penny unlock could have increased Keeper's coin-health by 1. Instead of Sticky Nickels, Keeper could have all shop items for free, or at least Steam Sale, or start with the Restock item. Sure, it'd be easy to break the game, but the there's a downside: you have to play as the Keeper.
Deep Pockets also could give an additional trinket slot, and stack up to 3 with Mom's Purse.
Keeper should start with store key, $$$=Power, Steam Sale, Restock and Head of the Keeper (isn't that HIS head? Why doesn't he start with this?)
There, now you have a character entirely based around spending money while everything else shitty about him persists.
lil gurdy is criminally adorable
The Brains challenge has a bug - it shows you the negative instead of the polaroid as goal.
I almost ended up fucking up my run because of this because I thought you needed to fight the lamb, but luckily I got to take both photos via level repeat.

[URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/bindingofisaac/comments/3ta911/donating_every_1000_coins_after_the_original_1000/"]Uh actually, Keeper being able to increase health might have been fake. nevermind[/URL]
God, pills have so many bullshit effects now. PHD is almost not worth getting anymore.
I cant believe challenge 25 unlocks absolute shit or a hush run ruiner.
whats it with all the "congratulations, eat shit" rewards in afterbirth?

Is incubus and fate's reward the same item

fate's reward doesn't copy tear effects, only stats
needs an opposite effect to retro vision like beta carotene where it's a shiny rock for the entire floor.
Also people wanting to overpower keeper with 10 items is silly
[img]http://i.imgur.com/92cGRBo.png[/img]
just that item got me far, you have to start weak then OP, it's not an op character.
Also sticky nickel should had been a greed donation thing, but I'm fine with it in boss rush.
Why is it whenever I manage to find a crawl space it always has an item like the bean or some shit.
I don't think I've even found a black market before without using the bomb exploit.
the best thing I've ever got from a crawl space was rubber cement
[QUOTE=Rufia;49140551]bomb exploit.[/QUOTE]
???
[QUOTE=Everything;49140699]???[/QUOTE]
Put bomb down in bottom left corner, leave room, put second bomb down, explode self with 2 bombs and clip through the wall.
Every crawlspace technically has an entrance to a black market, it's just that the room borders are all barred from access except the ceiling.
