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

Probably got my first real good run in days yesterday. Nothing special, just sacred heart and a few damage ups + flat worm. But a chaos card put a quick end to the lamb, so finally I have done everything as isaac! Uisng the guillotine is ridiculously dissorienting though, think i got hit far too much just because i had no idea where i was moving or what i was doing.

The guillotine would be a lot easier to deal with if your head floated at the distance that distant admiration does. The head and body still being so close together is what makes it disorienting, though I suppose it does approximately simulate out-of-body movement by being so strange to interpret.

I mean, I never listen to the Binding of Isaac soundtrack in-game anyway.

I find it amusing that the 1up was your last item, because it was the first secret room item I ever got :v:

It would have been amusing to record, to say the least

It also makes going through doors a pain. Sometimes you don't align yourself properly cause of the head spinning around you.

You know, it's kind of sad that some synergies don't work how you'd expect. Brimstone in particular feels like it has some lost potential. For instance: Soy Milk + Brimstone = Hold a direction for a constant, low-damage but no-charge brimstone laser akin to Tech 2. Chocolate Milk + Brimstone = Allows you to over-charge brimstone if held for longer than the normal charge time. Over-charged brimstone shots are much larger and do more damage. IPECAC + Brimstone = Anything in the way of the beam (enemies, obstacles, etc) will explode. Lump of Coal + Brimstone = Laser becomes larger with distance. Monstro's Lung + Brimstone = Longer charge time, but fires a rapid barrage of brimstone lasers in a wide fanning pattern when released. Polyphemus + Brimstone = Significantly increases laser size, akin to Mega Satan's mega brimstone.

Holy shit, while playing as Blue baby I got Blank card + Chaos card AND guppy. It carried me so hard

Blank card + hierophant + wafer + habit is the best possible blue baby run. Bonus points if you also find scapular. Doesn't matter if you have low damage or a bad synergy, you'll last forever. [editline]t[/editline] Also if you take the negative you can just mash your face against every enemy you see and still win, as long as you remember to get those two soul hearts back the moment you lose them. You're effectively immortal, unless backing off to drop soul hearts once the card mimic recharges is too hard for you to do.

I just can't do the lost run, but I did go straight to the chest from usually dying in the basement because of the holy shield.

I kind of wish there was a seed that gave you missingno from the start (not just in a first floor secret room, I mean your character starts with it and a few random items) Missingno runs are really interesting in my opinion, particularly if you get it early.

Apparently Tyrone invited CobaltStreak to Nicalis HQ to see them working on Isaac and such. I wonder if he invited more streamers/youtubers.

Having a bad Cain run. Fell short of getting the black candle from a shop by 1 coin, run out of keys on floor two and get bombarded by locked chests, every other cursed chest I open is just troll bombs and then I get to the catacombs, find the D4 and this is what I turn into: [video=youtube;07qKR_jWZYc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07qKR_jWZYc[/video] Rubber Tears, My Reflection and Ipecac, fuck me.

[I]" What would you like to be re-rolled into- " " Just fuck me up. " " Okay. "[/I]

The entire screen filled up with it and I couldn't run away, the length of the tears on screen took two hearts per shot no matter what.

More random ideas: [B]Key Seeker[/B] He's looking for answers - Key master variant of bum friend and dark bum. Wanders up to keys on the ground and collects them. Has a 1/4 chance of dropping a brown, red or gold chest for every one he picks up, increasing by 1/4 each time until he's guaranteed to drop one on the fourth key he picks up, and the odds reset. Has a rare chance to drop a golden key (1/16) or the paper clip (1/64) instead of a chest. [B]The Whistle[/B] Freeze!! - Usable item with 4-room charge. On use, freezes absolutely everything in the room in place except for Isaac, his tears and his familiars, including enemies, moving hazards, enemy shots and even the animations of objects (flames, bombs, etc) and the room itself. Lasts for five seconds before resuming from whatever state it was frozen. Does not protect Isaac from harm should he touch something normally harmful. Can be used to safely reposition Isaac during a very difficult phase of a boss, to traverse hazardous rooms quickly, or even to get out of a dangerous room without the risk of being hit by bombing the door while everything is stopped.

[editline]15th October 2015[/editline] Man it would please me so much to use Whistle against Mask of Infamy.

That key seeker idea could be annoying if I were in a pinch for keys, but would be great for those 20+ excess key runs. Also, the whistle sounds exactly like Mom's Bra, what's the difference? Except for maybe freezing the animations of certain things like fire

[QUOTE=austin0331;48906045]That key seeker idea could be annoying if I were in a pinch for keys, but would be great for those 20+ excess key runs. Also, the whistle sounds exactly like Mom's Bra, what's the difference? Except for maybe freezing the animations of certain things like fire[/QUOTE] It's basically a combination of anti gravity and mom's bra, I'd personally make the charge time 6 in exchange for more time. I see Whistle being a more offensive item than what Everything mentioned.

That item petrifies all enemies. This one stops them dead as well, but also totally freezes their shots in midair, freezes enemy bombs and troll bombs, floor hazards, turret shots, and virtually everything else except for you and your own stuff. It's also not a status, so stronger bosses aren't immune to it. [editline]t[/editline] Also it doesn't really mix antigravity into it, since your tears, bombs and familiars all operate perfectly normally for the duration.

[QUOTE=Everything;48906064]Also it doesn't really mix antigravity into it, since your tears, bombs and familiars all operate perfectly normally for the duration.[/QUOTE] That makes no sense then, anything you throw out including your tears should instantly stop during the duration too.

The intent I'd put behind it was something you could proc during, say, a phase of a boss where it's flooding the room and you're really in a pinch, possibly cornered. You can freeze it all, squeeze your way through the shots to a better position, and start shooting at it for some free hits before time resumes. [editline]t[/editline] Though now that you mention it, antigravity would make it more offensively viable. The 4-peg charge time instead of 6 was because of the idea of it being something defensive.

ive made a grave mistake [img]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/398925305486532102/BBDC4FCDA89FFE8DBEE8B77A0C075C5A0CF7E53B/[/img]

I feel like I'm one of the only people who grabs soy milk every time I see it, just because every time I gave it a chance I ended up with an amazing synergy a floor or two later. Lump of coal totally fixes the damage nerf, chocolate milk does as well, libra adds +24 (!!!) damage while only halving fire rate, ipecac gets insane DPS, mutant spider pins enemies to walls, fire mind and mysterious liquid's effects compound several times a second and can kill bosses extremely quickly, etc, etc, etc.

So does anyone know what this means? Tyrone posted it around half an hour ago. [vid]https://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/CRab1zSVEAA2Rj1.mp4[/vid]
