God was very nice to me this run. He gave me a Dead Dove on Basement II, the Mitre on Caves I, and the Relic on Necropolis II (I used a Joker and God had an item instead of a trap door, I'm not sure why). Between that, Tech 2 on Basement I, Inner Eye on Caves II, and BoR in a store on Caves II, I finally managed to get my ???? Isaac kill and unlock the Polaroid.

However, since I accidentally did Maggie and Isaac twice I've still got three characters to go: Cain, Judas, and Samson.

Got Ending 13 at last, ??? was surprisingly easy compared to Isaac but then again it gave me the mutated spider at the start of the Chest. Rocking Money is Power with 99 coins was pretty cool.

I don't know if I'm still just bad at this game or what. I'm coming up to 100 hours and I just recently got ??? and opened Sheol and Cathedral permanently. Never got to the chest. I've gotten to Satan and Isaac once each but didn't kill either. How do you guys keep getting such awesome builds? I always just end up with lovely things like Teleport in half the treasure rooms, and mediocre things like the unicorn one in the other half. I also am sick and loving tired of the gambling, I'll have a bunch of coins and spend an hour moving back and forth an inch to just get it over with.

So I tried ??? like twice before I decided I would unlock the Polaroid before playing him again. Having done so yesterday, I decided I'd try him out. Needless to say, it was a massacre on my first attempt. I want to taste your tears  Book of Shadows first floor was a godsend. The wiki's a liar liar pants on fire, you CAN totally cheese Satan with it. A Dead Cat, Guppy's Tail and 2 Left Hands later (Ultra Pride showed up for funsies), I had Guppy, Common Cold, the Parasite, Money is Power, Lump of Coal, Pact... ??? looked at things and they died. Book of Revelations showed up in the Womb, the Battery made that fun. Then Mutant Spider showed up in the Chest  Officeparty: The unicorn horn owns, get all touchy-feely with bosses and their health melts off. And yes, any 6 Isaac wins unlocks the Polaroid, the Wiki lies there too.

Pretty much just keep playing until you get a lucky/powerful set of items. If you're not sure what something will do, look it up on the wiki and determine whether it's worth picking up or not. It'd be nice if you could select "gamble until I get x" or "spend x coins" to take the grind out of it, but that would beat the point of gambling a bit. It's only really useful for getting the blood bag out of a blood-letting machine, otherwise I save my coins for the store. A shrubbery! fucked around with this message at 12:01 on Oct 19, 2012 |

You don't talk about the time you got Technology then a couple of range up items. The nature of the chest also means that you'll get a heap of stuff if you get to the end-game.

Ed's announced his new game: quote:Mew-Genics is by far the strangest project I've ever worked on.. and that's saying something. Tommy and i are very happy with how development has been going on it and decided that Mew-Genics will be the next official Team Meat game. We don't want to spoil too much here, but we can say the game will be randomly generated, strange and involve cats.

He made a game named "The C Word" where you are a penis flying in circles around a giant vagina monster that you fight with powerups like viagra. He always tries to be edgy but he does so with good character design and game design so people forgive him for it.

I know I am late to the party but I picked this up a couple of days ago and so far im loving it! And from what iv heard about the difficulty Im pretty proud of my 10 deaths and 5 mom kills. I guess Im just really lucky, expecting it to turn around pretty soon and frustrate the life out of me. Also, seconding the sentiment of looking up items on the wiki because sometimes one dud item can break your whole run like I found out when I tripped over the dead cat.

Yeah, but if you don't know about that exploit, or don't have a way to use it, then getting the dead cat can really ruin you. Especially if you had like 12 health.

On the subject of the cheat engine table, how do I get the "start with ###" scripts to work. Everything else works, but those do absolutely nothing... All I want to do is screw around with polyphemus item combos  . Is that too much to ask?

The game is literally named The C Word on the website it is published on. Yes it is obviously referring to the word oval office, yes you are being a pedantic rear end. I'm sorry for calling the game what it was uploaded as. Apparently that upset you in some way. This is a dumb thing to even start an argument about to begin with, who gives a poo poo, it's a game about a vagina monster. gay devil fucked around with this message at 07:27 on Oct 24, 2012 |

Is every unlockable also a steam achievement? The collection page sucks, and I've stopped unlocking things at random so I want to actually have goals instead of just playing to play. Also gently caress curses. Suddenly I'm getting one on almost every single floor of every life. drunken officeparty fucked around with this message at 03:35 on Oct 28, 2012 |

After you unlock Everything is Terrible, curses get much more common. Last time I played, I had a different curse on 3 of the first 4 floors.

Yeah, curse of the labyrinth is pretty bad at level 1, but its reasonable. Curse of the lost I actually like. Curse of darkness can just gently caress right off though, especially on like the cathedral. That's just loving mean.

Did they patch Brimstone to suck big fat balls or something? Even it by itself is bad. I would charge for like 5 seconds and it wouldn't even fire sometimes (not even that 'no-fire-animation' glitch, like seriously not even shoot a beam). Brimstone used to mean guaranteed win every time for me, no matter what, now it is avoid-at-all-costs.

You can't charge it during fires any more, so if you're used to letting go of the arrow key and immediately tapping it, that may be why you're not getting beams. Yeah Brimstone is basically useless now.

It's so drat satisfying when you get the perfect combination of items. I'm playing through the challenges right now, and was having a pretty average run through the "7 years bad luck" challenge. Until I got to caves 1 that is. Grabbed a telepill that took me to the error room. He was selling polyphemus and had the Celtic cross as a free grab. There was a card in the room as well which turned out to be the fool. Used it to teleport back to the main level to check out if there was an item room or not. There was. Technology. I grabbed it, and then was able to abuse the celtic cross and the bloody penny I'd found to max out my money before the blood bank dropped a blood bag. Pumped the money into the slots and the shell game until I had three pretty flies and skatole. Mom died in about 3 seconds. Wish I could have taken it all the way to ???, but the challenge cuts to the ending as soon as mom is dead. What a great run.

Samson run. Quad shot, polyphemus, a few damage ups, chocolate milk. Only two hearts but I'm wrecking everything so gently caress it. Lightbulb burns out in my room (CFL so it's loud and now my room smells terrible) I turn around and look without taking my hands off the keyboard. Walk into spikes and die. I will never beat the game as Samson.
