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.

<Daz_> I heard that if you grab the dirty nappy and place in the dead fathers eye it opens a secret door to the mothers anus where yoy can collect 3 dying hemorrhoids and as long as you have the g-string you can use them all at the same time to destroy the rectum and escape and skip like 3 stages. Pretty cool 
Godhead Unlocked 
Now where is my preorder. 
Lmao Fuck The Lost 
 
 
I am so looking forward to Daily Runs against Bal, and both of us getting smashed by ijed. 
 
btw The Lost is easy...

Just get Dead Cat, Guppy's Collar, Guppy's Hairball, Demon Baby, Mom's Knife, Polyphemus, and the literal best use item in the game: Crack the Sky. 
The Lost 
I did both the runs without the stopwatch... But the Dead Cat is basically a requirement.

It sucks, but you just have to hold R until you start next to a curse room with it in. Make sure to die without leaving it though, otherwise you'll respawn back in it.

The lost as a character compared to the rest is almost unplayable.HD should have had spectral tears.

You know something about Cracking the Sky that I don't Scampie ? I dunno it'd take a lot to give up my Butter Bean. 
 
I haven't even unlocked the Stopwatch... never donate enough :D

I haven't been doing the R restarts, but likely will to get the boss rush with Lost at the very least. Afterbirth is going to make him have Spectral Tears by default, which will make the early levels much better since you can hide.

Crack the Sky can actually do some significant damage to bosses actually... it's just really really random if any of the beams hits, so it's not that great. But if a few of them hit, you can do like 75% of a many of the bosses HP instantly. I just never found any better use item that run. 
Isaac Rant 
The Stopwatch is completely broken - I'm guessing Afterbirth will fix it, since it essentially disables the majority of enemies and bosses, and their ranged attacks.

R restarts are scummy, but not illegal or anything. And until the Lost has those Spectrals I'd say its fair game. I did try restarting to get the Godhead for a while (early Goats Head) but then decided to just let it appear on its own, while avoiding Shops (to avoid Special Items blocking it) and Devil Deals (to create the Angel Rooms).

Its a bit devaluing to make the lost Spectral now, after people have been doing his unlocks without. But hey, I've got the achievements already and if it makes him an actual viable playable character then that adds more value to the game... so whatever cool alright I guess.

Which reminds me, I got a pretty awesome Lost Run with Leo, smashing all the rocks I flew over. Turns out it was a pretty good tactic for finding cash and hidden items. Wasn't even killed by crushing a bomb brick - I think it was Brimstone to the face after getting the Stopwatch (one of the few things it doesn't break).

Crack the Sky isn't as good a boss killer as, say, the Krampus Head, or even the Book of Belial, and the low charge items are even better since you get to use them all the time - Spider Butt, Doctor's Remote and Telepathy for Dummies are all decent room clearance helpers which aid you with chipping down a boss fairly well also.

I used to like blue spider and fly minions for this, but they're just not as dependable.

So, uh, yeah. Looking forward to Afterbirth.

I put some more time into Spelunky but I'm guessing you'll still have the edge there. 
Donations 
One thing you could do to get your shop upgraded and get the Stopwatch unlocked is R-Spam donations.

I did do it legit before I knew what the Donation Machine did back when the game came out. Although I can understand any skepticism :)

(in other news, I beat the chest with The Lost!) 
Well Done! 
 
What Was Your Build? 
 
 
Mom's Wig on first floor, Holy Mantle on second and Devil Deal for Guppy's Tail... Curse room on third had Guppy's head and collar to become guppy. And then somewhere along the lines got 9 lives and infestation2... so I just spewed a billion flies and spiders and was really safe. Sadly missed timing for Boss Rush by 30 seconds :( 
 
This thread is just a game of mornington crescent, right? 
THE REAL PLATINUM GOD 
 
Grats 
I'm trying to get boss rush done with the lost... managed to get to it a couple times, but died due to stupid mistakes:( 
Tip 
Let the Carrion Queen crap everywhere - it's a bit more risky, but her poop will kill various bosses that blunder into it for you. 
Pro Strats 
BBQ! 
 
Fuck Yeah 
Keep Going! 
You have 13 days until the DLC unlocks, for this:

The Daily is going to be good, but I suspect you'll beat me more often than not.
