The Binding of Isaac

Post by MARS »

also known as "The best way to realize that you've in fact been a masochist your entire life".

I imagine there's at least a few people besides me that play this game and have lamentations to share.

I played it a couple of times. I love the music, art style, 'story' and stuff. But the game itself is too difficult for me, haha. My goal is to eventually complete one run. We'll see how it goes.

81% of achievements earned, polaroid unlocked, all challenges completed and every single item but one unlocked. It's fair to say I've played this game for a little while. Also no way is Eve even remotely the best character. Judas starts the game with possibly the most powerful spacebar items in the game and has a fez. Some crappy flying familiar and fiddly damage mechanic can't beat that.

You don't understand. She's my favorite, and therefore the best. She is also the creator's stated favorite. Which also makes her the best.

That was back in the days when the only uber item I had available was Brimstone. It's an invalid viewpoint now.

I beat the game for the 3rd time yesterday and got the Nail. It wasn't a particularly easy run either, as I won with just one heart left. One might say that I...nailed it.

it did most certainly not take me that long to think of that one

Hmm, I guess that's a decent enough achievement. Of course I did get Golden God yesterday so I guess you've been overshadowed a bit.
