You're alive? I'm going to have to fire my sniper... Ah, I mean, great to know!

Yay! But of course, I have a Mac, so I can't play...
So maybe some videos? Please? And you're welcome, of course.

Yay!!! Another fan resurrected! This community shall return! Welcome back, Code92.

I think to celebrate, for the entire month of November, we have to only eat meat. Pork, ham, steak, whatever. Hamburgers and sandwiches are iffy, though. Too much non-meat stuff. If it didn't come out of an animal, you aren't a true SMB fan. You also have to use pizza cutters or other sawblade-looking instead of forks and knives.

No. I may be a carnivore, but I'm mostly vegetarian.  Also, so glad this community is coming back to life. Maybe I'll force enough willpower through my fingers to continue the story. I swear, I'm going to be so happy if they finally release the Mac version, I just want to play the game!

I never got to use potato boy...

The Hermit: Warps you to the shop

Strength: Makes you huge, increasing all? stats for that room. Hanged Man also only works for the room you use it in. I think Death just deals a bunch of damage to everything there.

The Emperor: Warps you to the boss.

And I wouldn't call "The Fool" useless. Let's say you're in a fight with the boss, on your last life, and you have half a heart. Use the fool, warp back to the start, and collect any random hearts sitting around the map.

Justice: Gives you one of each item (Key, bomb, heart refill, transparent heart) I'm not sure on transparent heart.

I'll post more as I come across them.

Dear Diary, today I killed Pestilence and Famine!  Yay, I battled the horsemen! But then I got killed by gluttony.

OMG!!! I KILLED MOM!!! Okay, not the Mom in the Womb, but I beat the depths and unlocked the Harbingers! Holy crap, that was intense. I had the dead cat, and it got down to me, fighting with no special ability (used it on an earlier life) no extra lives, and one heart max health. And I killed her! Wow, that was tough. Her voice is creepy... Iiii-saaaaac.... 

Has anyone else gotten the x-ray glasses? SO USEFUL! Whenever you walk into a room with a secret door in it, the door opens automatically. Also, inside the secret rooms, all the doors are open. It means you can skip out of tough fights, or, more importantly, get into rooms that normally require a key, like the shop and power-up rooms. If they're adjoining a secret room, that is.

I've seen the arcade, it's cool. Also, if anyone fights one of the four horseman, please get a photo or, preferably, a video. I have the game, but I haven't gotten past caves 1 yet, so it might be a while before I unlock them.

EDIT: Today I made it to the Depths! Haven't died yet, but I have stuff to do. Maybe I'll finish later tonight.

Has anyone noticed this on the soundtrack? According to Edmund, the final boss theme was Thine Wrath... But, I just noticed there is a very upbeat, dark and epic song called ...Be Done, which comes after a song called The Pact. And did anyone else notice the mutant Mother leg in the new trailer, and how the mother leg in the screenshot posted by SonicZeroKm is  non-mutant ? Do you see what I see? 'Cause I see the Mother making a pact with the devil to help kill Isaac.

Curse you, I was going to post that link! Oh well. But... there's also a twenty minute gameplay video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_Up2oUGku4&feature=player_embedded

Look at the secret achievement picture in the blog post. Do I see... Gish?

I was assuming (and hoping, hoping, hoping,) that they meant the Mac version. I want to play the game...

I want this game so badly...and I've only known what it was about for like a day. It brought the forums back to life, so I am happy.

Also, I can imagine some possible endings:

Issac actually is corrupt and evil, devil's spawn and all that, this gives Issac a debuff, and the final boss (presumably his mother) some kind of Holy buff. The ability to heal herself, maybe? Anyway, after you beat the final boss, thus committing patricide, Issac goes on a rampage, you are left with an image of fire and destruction, knowing you caused it...

or maybe that's too dark...

It wasn't the voice of god, it was the voice of the devil, and this dungeon has led you to Hell, where you must fight a demon version of Issac's mom, who is shooting fire and things like that. You defeat her and escape from Hell, but now you don't really have a parent...

or (best ending)

You meet your mother without collecting any items, and she realizes that you aren't corrupt after all, you came all this way, through a dungeon of doom, without doing anything corrupting. (Who cares if you killed a bunch of monsters?) She decides to defy God, and let you live. God sends down some giant holy hands or something to kill you, but you hop on your mother's back, getting the ultimate buff as you control the mother now. You defeat the Holy Hands, and live happily together.

So yes, in my mind, each ending would have a different final boss to go with it. Obviously it probably won't happen, given that the endings are already done... or maybe the game got leaked and I know what I'm talking about!

Although, there are also probably five versions of the final boss, since Edmund said there were ten endings. Two endings per boss (one if you win, one if you die) means you get five final bosses.

It feels good to have these forums resurrected. Also, does anyone else love the music for this game? I'm listening to Thine Wrath right now. It reminds me of the music from the first Narnia movie. I wonder if that's deliberate.

I haven't rambled this long on the forums in forever. Good to see this game is coming out soon. Later!

It's sad that the forums are dead/dying... though I feel like I should still finish writing the story, just so it's done. Here's to hoping the community picks back up with the release of the Mac version!
