The Binding of Isaac. (For the SMB fans)
So as some people might have heard.
(Especially the people who loved Super Meat Boy/Time Fcuk)
There is a new game out called ''Binding of Isaac''.
The game is based on a story about god telling a man to kill his son to prove
that he loves his god above all other.
You play as a guy called Isaac. His mom was called upon by god and told her that
his son Isaac was corrupted by sins. She took all his toys away and even his clothes
but that wasn't enough. God told her he was still corrupted, so he locked him up in his
room. But then god asks his mom for one more thing. To kill her own son to prove she
loves his god above all other. (Like in the religious story)
She tries to kill Isaac but he escapes through a trapdoor and finds himself in a basement
full off mutilated creatures who look a lot like Isaac himself.
This game is completely random meaning that every single time you restart the game,
the playthrough is completely different. You have to survive with the items you have been given.
What happens if you die? You start over. Completely. Most fun thing about this game? NOTHING
gets explained. You will find many MANY items and you will not know they do. Having to find out
is really fun. (Especially the tarrot cards)
There are over 20 different (And alternate) bosses and MANY different items you can collect.
(Trust me this takes ages to do) 5 different characters to play with.
And if you are lucky. You can even make a pact with the demon himself to make you even stronger.
There's a Demo on newgrounds right now. To play it click on the link in the spoiler
I myself have been playing for ages. The game is challenging. Really fun. Funny graphics and art style.
Many easter eggs and references to populair games. And even the Troll face/Derp face/Forever alone face
and more of those made it into this game.
Have fun playing and I HIGHLY recomment buying it on steam for 5 Euro (Dont know about dollars)
It was well worth the money. The achievements are great and there are SO many things to discover.
Oh.. and beware of the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Wrath of the Lamb DLC is now available for $2.99. The game is on sale for $2.00.
The new enemies are kind of hard/annoying, or maybe it's because I haven't learned their patterns yet. But yeah, pineapple the Widow.

I bought it yesterday when everyone was waiting. I have yet to play it though ;~;
Re: The Binding of Isaac. (For the SMB fans)
Bought it yesterday as well. I played it for a few hours today, a lot of the new content is really cool. Everything changes, basically. I really wish you could get an in-game description of items in the game, though. There is a new type of item equip called "Trinkets", and I've gotten a number of different ones, but I only know what a few of them do. A lot of the new items are pretty cool and I like the addition of challenge runs (although most are pretty easy... I've already completed 6 out of the 10). I haven't played through the regular game with the new content yet, though, so I haven't been to the new secret final area and final boss, or seen the new final, final ending, but I'll get to that eventually.
Strangely, even though the DLC says it adds a handful of new achievements, there wasn't any added to my achievement list, so maybe they have just yet to been implemented or something. Works for me, as long as it still counts things I've already done with the new DLC (like attaining new items, trinkets, and the challenges...), cause I have only 5 regular achievements for the base game left to still get.

Trinkets? How come I haven't heard of those when I have the Golden God achievement? (If you don't know what that is, it means you have gotten all
achievements, items and beat the game once without getting hit once.) .. jdcvksd... what?

EDIT: How the f'uck did I miss this???? i'll be back in about 200 hours. o_O

Re: The Binding of Isaac. (For the SMB fans)
My only regret is having boneitis! is that this game is flash. That makes it very difficult to record ._. .
Re: The Binding of Isaac. (For the SMB fans)
There's new stuff for Binding of Isaac? Oooooo, shiny. Seems like I'll be adding even more to my 45h of play.
I never beat that last boss.

I know what you mean, it's horrible.
I have trouble running it on my laptop aswell. As soon when there's a lot of poison/blood on the screen I start lagging horribly.
Re: The Binding of Isaac. (For the SMB fans)
So, I was pretty far into a game, had Ipecac (shoots green bombs) and got a 3-Dollar Bill (random tear effect). I got to the second to last boss and had the effect of My Reflection (tears boomerang). It was impossible, I died. : <
Lesson learned, if Ipecac don't get My Reflection/3-Dollar Bill and vice versa.

I remember once getting to the last boss with the item that gives you a random item effect (don't remember the name), the saddest thing was using it during the boss and having myself teleported out of the boss room, placing me far from it in The Womb with less life and having to do the whole fight all over.

I heard...you can't save the game?
Whyyyy?
