The Binding Of Isaac
Boasting, discussion etc.

The game is by one of the developers of Super Meat Boy, who also worked on Time Fcuk, which is free to play.

For TBoI, here's the wikia for walkthrough stuff:

Ohh, web based daily leaderboard.

At least I can compete against everyone else... all you scums stopped playing the daily :(

Too Busy 
With the achievements... 
I Might 
Start playing the daily again - finally hit the wall with the unlocks.

Just got the especially BS challenges to unlock now, plus the final completion pips for the Lost and Keeper.

SPEED! is incredibly fucking broken. The stopwatch item nonsense already proved they don't have a reliable method for modifying the game clock, this just confirms it.

The Keeper isn't so bad. The real hurdle is getting the wooden nickel, once you've got that (kill Isaac in Cathedral) he's pretty playable. I can see the hush being frustrating unless you luck out with orbitals and possibly the soul as well.

The Lost does look pretty good with his new stuff, although the D4 is irrelevant with the Holy Mantle in tow.

Both these characters are very susceptible to the random BS the game occasionally throws at you though. So they can wait. 
 
I'll go for unlocks again once I am finished the map I'm working on. Just play the daily each day. Still a million coins to even unlock Keeper for me. 
What The Fuck 
They Fixed 
Crack the sky? 
In Any Case 
The beams of light suck as a mechanic - both for you and the enemies.

There should be a warning glow, a delay (not moving), and then it hits.

This would make it effective against slow bosses or enemies and crap against fast ones.

Bosses like conquest could then aim it directly at you, rather than just randomly taking hearts away if you're unlucky.

Bosses like Isaac could then have more complex and entertaining patterns as well. 
Ohh 
Just bombed a shopkeeper and he woke up!

Also realised you can use the poop item to make bridges over gaps... 
Mutant Spider + Soy Milk + Holy Light 
That is all. 
Yep 
Soy milk is a no brainer - it's meh on its own, but combos great with pretty much every shot modifier.

I still want to find the soy milk / libra combo for full damage machine gun tears. 
200th Post 
And all completion marks unlocked.

Still got lots of missing achievements though, so I suspect the marks are bugged.

Aside from that, only the Brains! and SPEED challenges remain... 
ProTip 
Maybe I'm completely behind here, but I just learned and confirmed that the sacrifice rooms now actually work.

You can pretty easily get the big key on any floor which has one, either by getting into the angel room from it (teleport) or summoning first one and then the other angel to get the two key pieces.

Wish I'd known that before doing all my mega satan runs the old fashioned way :( 
 
Yeah, that got added last patch, it's pretty cool actually... used it on a few dailies too to skip to dark room on days where you can only go to mom/the heart to cheese some free points. 
Speaking Of... 
did it on today's daily. womb2 -> completing the dark room instead of killing the heart like you're meant to. missed boss rush though :( 
I Gave Up On Caves 2 Out Of Hopelessness 
And apparently Godhead was in the Depths 1 shop. 
 
Binding of Isaac would be 1001% better if it were always like the Christmas Daily.

Double item rooms make things so much fun. 
Yeah 
When I first saw the images of the double rooms haI d high hopes - more choice = more game play. Was disappointed to find it was just an item. 
Daily Tip 
Take the left devil room item when you get Curse of the Blind - it's Cambion Conception, which allows you to farm demonic familiars with the Razorblade.

Didn't make it to the Dark Room (target is Sheol) even though there's a sacrifice room right there in Sheol - just didn't have enough health or a way of farming more. 
Sackboy + D20 = Every Item In Game 
 
 
someone needs to make a remix of lil jon's magnum opus "shots" replaced with "sacks" overdubbed on a looping video of isaac with sackboy just generating a billion sacks. 
 
oh opps... apparently that song is by the highly acclaimed group 'LMFAO', and simply features lil jon... my rap cred is down the drain :( 
Sacks 
Another incomplete feature that can be exploited :( 
 
How are sacks incomplete? 
The Design Is Broken 
It's like not taking red heart damage to get angel rooms to receive more red hearts.

A sack should be a once a level max thing which throws out a tonne of prizes and has a specific finding mechanic.

The original lost was the same - it wasn't almost unplayably difficult on purpose, just ignored.

You mean like a golden chest?
