  1. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    My run today was going well, but then I inexplicably just ran straight onto some spikes.
  2. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    I... don't think that's ever happened to me. Must be a super low chance.
  3. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    I guess I don't understand the powder boxes as well as I thought.
  4. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    Felt like I had a bunch of close calls in this one.
  5. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    Accidentally took a swim with my torch on a dark level which slowed me waaaay down and ended trying to juke the ghost. Spoiler: it didn't go well for me.
  6. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    Different spellings of the same word
  7. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    I did horrible, I should have played a warmup game or something. Just the simplest things screwed up over and over.

    Analog stick on a 360 controller. I haven't tried a PS3 controller, but I imagine I'd probably prefer the d-pad on that.
  9. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    I seem to have this problem occasionally as well.
  10. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    I was more upset about my death on the November 5th daily than this one. That one really came out of nowhere. I feel like I should have seen the arrow trap on this one and just wasn't observant enough, which is fair. That temple sure is a something something.
  11. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    I had to check the tape to figure out what actually killed me. I guess the gold from bombing through that wall triggered an arrow trap off to the right that I should have seen, but just completely didn't register for me.
  12. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    I guess I thought it'd be cool to walk into a tiki trap.
  13. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    I was doing really well until man... I don't even know how to describe that death. Ugh asdjfkla;sdl;kgaha;sdfspelunky.

    I just prefer to leave them alone as long as I have enough money to buy what I want. Seems safer. It makes it easier to set up to rob the black market if you can do a little scouting first I think. I do think it's better to have angry shopkeepers for the ice caves / temple, as it gives you more chances at a shotgun late game.

    Made it to 2-4 and then disaster struck.
  16. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    Oh I see, so, you can never get an item that you already have from the altar. I guess the rest of us had gotten the sticky paste from giant spider before our first sacrifice.
  17. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    I'm almost certain the sacrifice drops are predetermined. What convinced you otherwise?
  18. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    Man that dark level really kicked my ass
  19. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    I screwed up recording, so the first 2 minutes got cut off.
  20. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    Had a pretty bad run tonight. Let's just say mistakes were made.
  21. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    Hahaha that's great. I usually get home just before 8pm so the daily is often the first thing I do when I get home
  22. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    Pretty sure it resets at midnight GMT. I had a decent run with some hard swings. I don't understand the enemies in the temple well enough at all.
  23. General Video Game Deals Thread

    I picked up Mercenary Kings, The Swapper, and Skulls of the Shogun.
  24. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    I never expect the gun kickback...
