what's the general consensus on Spirit of the Night? I like it but it doesn't seem to be super popular.

Bunny · 2013-07-30 16:43:52

It grants you two of the best defensive effects in the game, anyone who doesn't like it is wrong

Salix Babylonika · 2013-07-30 18:53:40

OP pls nerf

Obā-san · 2013-07-30 19:06:49

inspired by this thread i have decided to take this game on once again!

i am not very good yet, but with some practice i got further than i had before and i feel quite accomplished! ^w^

Salix Babylonika · 2013-07-30 19:15:04

Spirit of the Night is a great item but Nine Lives is....weird.

also, what's with the window? Are you using XP?

Obā-san · 2013-07-30 19:20:04

Windows 8

Salix Babylonika · 2013-07-30 19:26:48

ic

also do you have Wrath of The Lamb? I assume so since I'm not actually sure if you can buy it without that anymore.

Obā-san · 2013-07-30 19:29:53

i do yes

Salix Babylonika · 2013-07-30 19:35:37

good

also I will likely be getting a new headset within the next few days (maybe even tomorrow?), would anyone be interested in a BOI stream?

Obā-san · 2013-07-30 19:36:45

sure

Salix Babylonika · 2013-07-31 13:48:40

Spoilered for Naney's sake.

Spoiler:

got down to Sheol and beat Satan on my first try.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-07-31 17:14:26

Is the game running at double speed when fighting

Spoiler:

It Lives

a known bug? Because it made the fight way harder (I still won though, with Judas, no less).

Salix Babylonika · 2013-08-02 01:53:26

wah wah wahhhhhhhh

Salix Babylonika · 2013-08-03 00:06:58

after a skill lapse caused by one of many things, I've managed to beat Mom's Heart and re-unlock Blue Baby.

Gonna try to get the D6, wish me luck.

Crystal · 2013-08-03 00:12:18

Good luck.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-08-03 00:18:31

Thanks!

also who are you

Crystal · 2013-08-03 00:21:10

Oldie.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-08-03 02:46:08

I just learned about BOILER and on the one hand I am interested but on the other I hate eSports as a term and concept.

Crystal · 2013-08-03 02:49:07

I somewhat feel the same way. I don't hate it, but nowadays I'm hesitant to get into competitive gaming, just due to the culture in my experience. It's really cool, being Binding of Isaac and all that, but I'd probably just watch.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-08-03 02:50:47

I don't know anything about Cobaltstreak (who appears to be the only "name" in BOILER so far) other than that he has his own Twitch emoticon, so there's that.

I have to imagine it'd be less vitriolic than something like the League of Legends tournaments that go on, but that's not saying much.

Crystal · 2013-08-03 02:59:46

I only recognize Cobaltstreak, and all that I know is that he's a knowledgeable player (obviously). And agreed, despite never having played it, but I imagine seeing some "pro" skills might be nice. I figure if I avoid the culture it could turn out well.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-08-03 03:48:53

I think BisnapLP might be the most knowledgeable BOI player, he's just not very fast.

there's a glitch named after him.

Crystal · 2013-08-03 03:57:08

Ah yes, the Brimsnap. I prefer Brimstone glitch, but darn if that isn't fun to say. I only saw one challenge run of his, and I got too bored, didn't really get into it.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-08-03 04:00:44

He's not a very engaging Youtuber, I'll admit, but his Isaac PSAs are good if you want a more authoritative source than the sometimes spotty wiki.

Crystal · 2013-08-03 04:06:51

Thanks for telling me that, or else I probably would have continued not paying attention to that. So I might as well keep checking him out. Do you only watch his PSAs?

Salix Babylonika · 2013-08-03 04:20:45

That's the only thing of his I watch that's actually on his channel. He does collabs with other people I watch sometimes too though (namely Northernlion and more recently RockLeeSmile).

Salix Babylonika · 2013-08-03 04:21:23

I've also only seen like two of those because I don't want to spoil things for myself if I don't have to, but learning how to get Deal With The Devil rooms to spawn is kind of essential for forward progress.

Crystal · 2013-08-03 13:10:58

I watch Northernlion, and have been meaning to check RockLeeSmile out since he seems like a cool guy. And I've basically spoiled the entire game for myself. The fact that the videos are posted so often really helps with that.

Bunny · 2013-08-03 13:19:14

I should play this again

I've unlocked everything, but I still need to pick up two more items to get Platinum God

Quip · 2013-08-03 20:00:08

This game scares me.

Not because of the plot, I can get over that, it's just Edmund McMillen, I suppose. I tried Time Kucf out and enjoyed it but I couldn't ever finish it, and I was semi-interested in Meat Boy but the difficulty on that one also makes me nervous.

Ah well. Perhaps I'll try this one eventually.

Crystal · 2013-08-03 20:02:03

I love this game, though yes it could take some getting used to.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-08-03 20:27:59

Isaac has not yet struck me as super difficult, and I'm real bad at video games, so if I don't think it's too bad it probably isn't.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-08-03 20:41:00

so I just unlocked the D6 and

Spoiler:

beat Isaac and got Rainbow Baby

via the most convolutedly lucky Blue Baby run anyone has ever had.

The first three items I got were the X Ray Glasses, Epic Fetus, and The Relic.

Crystal · 2013-08-03 20:52:52

Epic Fetus and The Relic? Yes, see what you mean by convolutedly lucky, that's like an almost guaranteed victory. That said, congrats on unlocking the D6.

Obā-san · 2013-08-03 21:30:28

i got to mom!

i almost beat her!

almost!

Obā-san · 2013-08-03 21:31:14

if i had had more than three hearts when i went in i would have won u_u

Crystal · 2013-08-03 21:50:23

Sweet.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-08-03 23:53:45

for some reason the game just now decided to start keeping track of my achievements, so I just got like five massive stacks of "achievement unlocked"s for stuff I did like a week ago.

Crystal · 2013-08-04 00:13:08

Weird, but nice. What were they?

Salix Babylonika · 2013-08-04 00:15:02

a bunch of item unlocks and benchmarks (for completing the game x amount of times or with a specific character) and also the Basement Boy achievement for not taking any damage on a run through the Basement or Cellar.

Crystal · 2013-08-04 00:18:20

Oh sweet, congratulations on Basement Boy.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-08-04 04:14:03

I have been killed by Ultra Pride four times today :|

have you tried running backwards while shooting continuously?

Obā-san · 2013-08-04 10:56:45

also relatedly the left hand is mah fave thing pretty much aside from ipecac that is

Bunny · 2013-08-04 11:43:41

But Ipecac is like...terrible

There are some room arrangements you basically can't get out of with ipecac without suiciding

Obā-san · 2013-08-04 11:51:10

huh, i have had a lot of success with it when i've gotten it

Obā-san · 2013-08-04 11:52:00

maybe i've just picked up stuff that synergises with it well

iunno

Fossilmaiden · 2013-08-04 13:32:36

Taking Ipecac to the Chest is a death sentence.

Crystal · 2013-08-04 13:37:19

It can definitely be good, just not everywhere, like the chest.

He only just started playing the game. Heck even I'm not on the Chest yet.
