Been practicing my speed runs trying to get all of the achievements. I thought beating hell was hard but now I realize it was child's play. I've spend hours grinding and many close calls but still my best time was 9 something minutes.

It's so much sadder that you had a jetpack.

Okay, so 621 games in, 66 hours of playing I finally beat Spelunky the hard way. *mic drop*

Nope. Pure love here.

You can also kill Yama in a hit.

Ahh... finally breached hell for the first time. Feels good.

I think I was caught up in the jubilation of completing all of the tasks I wasn't thinking clearly. I grabbed a wall just probably too late. I'll get it eventually. Some days it feels like throwing myself against a wall repeatedly.

Incredibly irritated with the parachute right now. This was going to be my first Hell run. Instead when I tried to jump on Olmec's head my parachute deployed and I missed it by a second.

Finished the journal for everything that isn't in Hell or the City of Gold. Every time I get to the city I get too excited and die. Also, as a note. The alien blaster is totally not worth the effort. It hurt me more than it ever helped.

Shortcuts?

Welcome to Spelunky. That will happen a lot. On a positive note I finally beat the HD version straight through (which strangely enough is easier than using shortcuts).

WHAT!? I didn't even know Ghosting was a thing! This game is amazing!

Somehow missed this video. Majora's Mask is by far my favorite zelda. Why couldn't you be real?

Part of me died a little.

Finally breached the City of Gold. Died there horribly, but I made it at least. Only one location left. The big one. Also if you haven't, take a picture of the ghost with the camera.

Not the I've ever seen.

Hmm... the kicking my feet in the air out of rage really resonated with me today. But I finally beat Super Meat Boy.

Unfortunately ledges also saved my bacon about as many times. It's love/hate.

Had an amazing run yesterday with a jetpack and Black Knight shield. Unfortunately the Mario Blocks in the temple will still smash you into the wall.

Range always served me pretty well for that fight. It's always good to have a couple distracting phantoms running around. Maneater Mildred isn't terribly useful but she will serve in a pinch.

I think this week proved if Chris can't talk about Spelunky he won't talk at all.

You talking about the free version? There is a config application in the Spelunky folder. You can bind the keys however you like on both the keyboard and gamepad.

Yeah, it becomes very clear if you still have it on. It's like playing on a postage stamp. The Depths stressed me out a little the first time around. Generally on most playthroughs I bypass them entirely (if you have the master key the area is optional). I love this game so much. Beat it several times on the PS3 until I got the platinum and now I'm going through it on PC. Also happy to have gotten into the Dark Souls 2 beta. Life is good.

Weird, me and my friends do. Welp, just know it's a possibility.

You could always change that.
