hammerpants Posted April 28, 2014 Time for the weekend roundup. First up, surprise yeti king! Then, hard times in the mothership. Finally, my fingers trip over themselves in the black market. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted April 28, 2014 I wasted my bombs, couldn't get the key. Had an interesting death though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammerpants Posted April 29, 2014 I had a lame death. I try to be too fancy for my britches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Security_Tubbs Posted April 29, 2014 Boy, what a run today. Got yet another high score, ~682k. This is especially remarkable, since I beat the game the hard way, but didn't anger the shopkeepers at all. Also bought the jetpack in the Mines, so that together with the Ankh is already an over 70k expense. Then, I went through the Worm from the Ice Caves and got the Crysknife. I had the Kapala, so it was a sound decision, although it meant that I also had to go through the Mothership to get to Hell. The Mothership went really well, except for one almost fatal series of events. One of those laser turrets fell down and exploded (don't know exactly why) next to me, taking away 10 HP. That I was able to deal with, but the Alien Queen was also nearby, trying to blast my brains. I was literally this close: -> <- to getting fried before finally recovering. One final feat of strength in Hell. I killed the final form of Yama with the Crysknife Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted April 29, 2014 Made a bad call in the mothership Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammerpants Posted April 30, 2014 I was on track to blow my previous high score out of the water, but a fatal mistake in the city of gold proves... well, fatal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Video Games Posted May 1, 2014 Two days in one! One death in the Mothership: And one death by old age (but also one death by landmine, so no Hell): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammerpants Posted May 1, 2014 I ran out of jetpack fuel (bouncing on mammoths doesn't reset it) and then had a funtime death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted May 1, 2014 THE WORST! So the seed didn't provide me with a lot of bombs. That could become an issue in the city of gold. So I reach the temple, do quite a good job to get rid of anubis. So there's the ceptre... next to a crush block. I trigger the block, it pushes the ceptre away... and it falls in a damn lava basin. Ok... so no city of gold. Continuing on through the temple... not finding much bombs I reach Olmec. Only one tiny bomb sack. This is going to be difficult. So I dig a shaft, time to lure Olmec. He missed my shaft by half a block... damn it. So I have to lure him a bit more. A very close call.. and now I'm trapped between the wall and Olmec who refuses the crush the last block holding him out of the lava death... No way out.

Professor Video Games Posted May 1, 2014 I don't think the scepter melts. If you had blown up the lava pit it would have still been in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted May 1, 2014 Yeah... maybe. But I didn't think about that until much later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trip Hazard Posted May 1, 2014 The scepter doesn't melt? That's quite a few runs I needn't have abandoned, then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammerpants Posted May 2, 2014 I didn't know how to handle that shopkeeper. Maybe I should have run into the shop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted May 2, 2014 Had some trouble with getting rid of a shop keeper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted May 3, 2014 I should have woken up a bit more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trip Hazard Posted May 5, 2014 Ugh, made it to hell, where I paid a high price to find out that an intact lava cauldron will react quite violently with a bomb. Boom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammerpants Posted May 5, 2014 I botched the robbery. That beautiful, beautiful shop, wasted. I think I should have thrown a rope to kill the bat on this one. Another ghost death. I messed up jumping over her. And I did a dumb thing with the shopkeeper that probably never works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammerpants Posted May 6, 2014 I think at some point I lament not rescuing a damsel and predict that I'll die to a bat. Well, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted May 6, 2014 It's not working for me for the past 4 days. I keep doing stupid things and die in boring ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trip Hazard Posted May 8, 2014 My first recorded daily since January, and my highest score so far. Got today off to a good start, heh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted May 8, 2014 I'll file this one under: 2fast2furious Ran straight into a man eating plant. It's also a good example on how the signal from my brain to my hands is much slower than to my mouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SecretAsianMan Posted May 9, 2014 Didn't record it, but I had the sloppiest victory run. Lost the jetpack killing myself with the teleporter. Lost my last rope during the fight with Olmec. Lost my shotgun in the lava during my fight with Yama. He ended up killing himself by flying too close to a ball and chain so in the end I still won, but it was still a disastrous run.
