Professor Video Games Posted January 10, 2014 I feel like this run was just ineptitude from start to finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted January 10, 2014 This seed sucked. Caves where shit, and the jungle was annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammerpants Posted January 10, 2014 This seed sucked. Caves where shit, and the jungle was annoying. A friend of mine pointed out that the seed is based on the components of the date multiplied together, which accounts for the dupes we've seen in the past (Dec 11 and Nov 12 for example). So we can look forward to seeing this seed again on Feb 5! Oh boy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Leego Posted January 10, 2014 Good. That bee is gonna get it on February 5. I'M COMIN FOR YOU BEE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammerpants Posted January 11, 2014 I made another eggplant, but was too busy babysitting hired help to take proper care of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted January 11, 2014 I enjoyed this seed. A lot of things to do. I also did quite well until I killed myself with my new toy. Second time in the temple, and decided to learn stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Security_Tubbs Posted January 11, 2014 Yay, beat Olmec again today. That's the third time I've done it in a daily and the fourth one in total. I think it's time to move on and try to play the special levels and/or try to reach Hell. Until now my first priority has mainly been to just beat the basic game. Today was the first time I got a hold of the sceptre and managed to not kill myself with it. I also thought it was the only thing needed to open the door to the Golden City, but boy was I wrong.

Trip Hazard Posted January 11, 2014 Managed to raid the black market successfully today, using a loose interpretation of Nachimir's advice (thanks for that!). Bombing out the sides to funnel the shopkeeps down certainly helped a lot. They still sometimes manage incredible feats of athleticism and take me off guard, but one can't plan for everything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Video Games Posted January 11, 2014 Elmuerte I can't believe you passed up that jetpack. Anyway I successfully robbed the black market for the first time. I probably used too many bombs in the process since I already had a shotgun, but I was paranoid about it. I made it to the temple before dying and learning a valuable lesson about altars...

elmuerte Posted January 11, 2014 I can't believe it myself either, that's why I said something like "I should have gotten that jetpack" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
20ozMonkey Posted January 11, 2014 I died real close to where spork armada died. I wish I hadn't blown my last bomb killing a tiki trap on the previous level. (not pictured is the shopkeeper rampaging below the platform where the door is.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted January 11, 2014 LOL, that's a nice spot to die Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammerpants Posted January 12, 2014 I made a mistake in the temple that ended it all, but I was pretty okay with this run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted January 12, 2014 I was standing too close to the tiki trap, really stupid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Leego Posted January 12, 2014 I whipped an explosive crate. Dumb but fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammerpants Posted January 13, 2014 I wasted the ankh so I decided to start ghosting and go for score. It was going pretty well until i made a... questionable pathing decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted January 13, 2014 I had a classic Spelunky death: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammerpants Posted January 14, 2014 This death was real dumb, guys. I don't even. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Video Games Posted January 14, 2014 Garbage from start to finish. At least the suffering didn't last too long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted January 14, 2014 I think my death was hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted January 14, 2014 I really don't get tired of watching people die in Spelunky. That one was pretty terrific elmuerte. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammerpants Posted January 15, 2014 Had some pretty great close calls with the ghost in this run. Yet another yeti death in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted January 15, 2014 Ugh... died on spikes in 1-2, really stupid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Leego Posted January 15, 2014 "A-ha! I'll surely beat El Muerte today!" Threw a bomb against a wall instead of jumping. Knocked myself out and blew myself up at the exit to 1-1. Still beat El Muerte Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted January 15, 2014 haha.. would have loved to see that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
