miffy495 Posted November 26, 2014 Beat the Solar System challenge last night. Shit is bonkers. A big deal for me was with two floors to go getting that exploding brain projectile. Just having SOMETHING I could aim helped a tonne. The fight with Mom's Heart turned into me dodging while waiting for the brain to respawn so that I could fling it at her again.

TurboPubx-16 Posted November 26, 2014 Family photo: Edit: Got the D4 today. I couldn't help myself: I rerolled my character as often as I could. I told myself I would stop when I got something powerful but it seemed like cheating if I didn't keep rerolling. Quadshot Epic Fetus with Money=Power was the highlight of the run.

And yeah, a D4 run is a super fun, every 6 rooms getting a completely new build. I've done it twice, though the first time ended in disaster when I got a terrible, terrible build late in the Dark Room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bjorn Posted November 26, 2014 Bananasaurus Rex shows just how ridiculous seeded speed runs are. Full run in 2:53. Spoilers, obviously, if you're new to Isaac. Tammy's Head and Brimstone are so insane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikemariano Posted November 27, 2014 I showed my five-year-old niece this game (unwisely?). An hour after we stopped, she said, "Let's play the baby in the dungeon game again." Though she didn't like that the toothpicks cause Isaac's tears to turn bloody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurboPubx-16 Posted November 27, 2014 Live talk about the game and the expansion here right now! http://www.twitch.tv/northernlion Edit: it's over. If I come across an archive of the stream I'll try to post it here, but if someone else finds it first don't be shy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurboPubx-16 Posted November 28, 2014 Yeah, that's the one, thank you! It's only about an hour long, I recommend that people check it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though she didn't like that the toothpicks cause Isaac's tears to turn bloody. If it makes you feel better, I had a post-Thanksgiving family Skype get together conversation with my four year old cousin about how cool the poop noises were in this game. Conclusion: They are a little loud, but very cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted November 29, 2014 I finally got Polyphemus! In the very first treasure room with Eve on a Hard run. I died two rooms later to a spider, because I had burned a heart to go into a Curse room. FML. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Problem Machine Posted December 1, 2014 Just had my first Ending 16 run, another hilariously OP run brought to you by Azazel. How OP? Well, the ending 16 boss didn't hit me once, and if he had I had the wafer... and I think I glitched him out, because about 5 seconds into the fight the post-boss music started playing since I was killing him too quickly. ... kind of anticlimactic.

Did that boss... ...spawn several waves of bosses/mini-bosses? Normally it's a super extended fight, but one time I got there with a Chaos card and killed his first form instantly. I had wondered if you could kill him fast enough with regular damage if you would skip those extra waves of the fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Problem Machine Posted December 1, 2014 They all still spawned, but with the post-boss music playing instead of the satan fight music. I just rolled my wheel of death over them anyway. Can't Kraid him though I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted December 1, 2014 Ah, that's exactly what I was curious about. If you kill him with the Chaos card, none of the extra waves spawn. Realized I didn't actually say that in my first reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Problem Machine Posted December 2, 2014 I finally got the Golden God last night! Now on to Platinum baby! How do you get ending 16? In two angel rooms, blow up the statue and fight the bosses spawned, then get to either the chest or the dark room. The rest should be self-apparent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bjorn Posted December 3, 2014 Rubber Cement has become one of my favorite items. For being so unassuming, some of my favorite builds have come from it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roswell47 Posted December 3, 2014 Played the original for 53 hours and only beat Mom/It Lives 6 times. Just got to "The End" in Rebirth after 61 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Griddlelol Posted December 4, 2014 My partner had a really successful run thanks to an incredible synergy. Money = Damage followed by the piggy bank and then discovering Tammy's head right before Mom. She had 99 coins from Mom onwards and one shot every boss with Tammy's head. Was hilarious to watch!

Problem Machine Posted December 4, 2014 Money = Power is an incredible item, since you nearly always end up with a bunch of money near the end and no way to spend it. Well, a bit less the case when you're just going for Mom kills, but still an excellent item, especially when arcades are so very very exploitable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though she didn't like that the toothpicks cause Isaac's tears to turn bloody. I think BoI is one of those games where a kid would just would see past the horrible stuff that it doesn't understand and just focus on the core mechanic of the game. I look forward to when your niece revisits/rediscovers this game in like 20 years time and realises what a horrible game it is, and how it has affected her every life decision since that day she asked to play the baby dungeon game again.

Bjorn Posted December 10, 2014 New patch, notes here (along with the requisite cheers and tears).Hard mode just got a bunch better, with normal bomb/key drops being enabled. I've spent a bunch of time in Hard (have been going for every boss on every character), and by far the key drought is the worst. It's very, very rare that I haven't had to skip multiple rooms and chests in a Hard run. Poor Dark Bum got a big nerf. No longer guaranteed soul hearts, can also spawn spiders. A whole bunch of exploits got fixed as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
