Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

Bleh

 

[elmuerte]

I'm sort of proud on how I killed myself.

At the last minuted I figured that arrow would be blown away and hit me, so I better jump away. Well...

[Professor Video Games]

I checked the video and I definitely shot the shopkeeper, but it didn't phase him

 

[elmuerte]

ffs, what's going on here?!

[hammerpants]

My first day back after a road trip. I did them on the road as well, but with my shitty laptop mic, so they're on my youtube channel if you're interested.

 

[elmuerte]

Man I'm screwing up things the last few days.

[hammerpants]

Why didn't I just walk through the door?

 

[elmuerte]

grmbl

[Professor Video Games]

I think my plan for whipping Anubis II to death would have worked if I hadn't stepped out on the ledge so far

 

[hammerpants]

I'm actually certain I pressed 'jump' but didn't jump. The conclusion I've drawn is that I was stuck in the Mattock-swing animation.

 

[elmuerte]

I guess I missed the black market because I visited the haunted thingy. Stupid yeti used me as a tennis ball.

[hammerpants]

I suffer from tiki blindness

 

[elmuerte]

I suffer from making too many mistakes.

[elmuerte]

It's amazing how terrible I did.

[elmuerte]

Damn this seed.

[elmuerte]

I blew myself up

[Trip Hazard]

No video unfortunately, but today was my highest scoring run up to now, with over a million being banked! I'm fucking off to enjoy a lavish retirement in the south of France, but before I go I have a pun to share. When I killed myself and revived with the Ankh, my girlfriend remarked that I'd "Ankh'd myself off". Amazing.

[elmuerte]

D'oh. I forgot about the shop and damaged it.

[elmuerte]

Started out quite bad but I recovered. But in the end I messed up a jump and the shopkeeper got me anyway.

[Professor Video Games]

I played this again! I died!

 

[elmuerte]

That's one hell of a level.

[Professor Video Games]

Two days in a row! Probably going to limit these to the weekends from here on out. Anyway, I died like an idiot vs. Olmec.

 

[Trip Hazard]

Rubbish run, but on the plus side, I think my new headset sounds okay?

 

[neonrev]

No video, but on the first time I've ever made it through city of gold and was all set up for Yama, I beat Olmec fairly easily, with a lot of extra bombs up top, and a 1-3 jetpack, and was riding him down to that door, and somehow missed the hit box (although I had the 'Press Z to enter' cue) or it didn't register my keystroke (I about broke my finger pressing it as I sank.), and I rode Olmec down into the lava. I about cried. An Olmec run is pretty rare for me at this point, since I am not terribly good at platformers, and I lack the patience to continue playing a run after I drop below 2 hp or run out of bombs or whatever. I just hate the struggle because its just dexterity for me at this point, and I don't know how to improve. Really, really frustrating run. It was also the first time I died to lava I guess, since I got the journal ding and popup. Ugh.

[Ucantalas]

Didn't bother recording, but today was the... third, I think, time I've ever made it to the Jungle. I am pleased with my Daily run today.
