I thought runs using seeds didn't count for items?
And am I crazy, or is mom's heart much more like a bullet hell game? I seriously don't remember her firing so many shots on the flash game.

and yeah, Mom's Heart has a new attack pattern.
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - FangelXIII - 2014-11-06
Infamy is such a good item. Mom's Heart? Can't hurt you. Satan? His 2nd form can't do anything if you stand at the side. I haven't got up to Issac and ??? yet but I doubt they can do much either since they were already bullet hell other than the flies ??? would randomly spawn and the Crack the Sky effect when they were at low HP.

My first heart takedown was with the Guppy costume thingy, spewing flies like crazy and controlling a super powerful Ludovico tear. I was at a point where nothing even came close to touching me.

Oh, meh, I guess that makes sense.
Just had my first encounter with the Dark Room. The boss (
Cleared the Dark Room my second time around with an easy-mode build of Ipecac + Spirit of the Night + Dark Bum on a tanky Maggy.

Wasn't until like floor 5 or 6 before I realized what was going on.
I'm now on floor 53. I have pretty much every item available to me at this point in the game.
I've made absolutely no progress whatsoever thanks to this seed, but it is a very, very good way of finding out what some of the new items do, and discovering item combinations.
Yep it's awesome. You know the item pool is empty when all you get is Breakfast. Apparently that's the "there's nothing left!" item.

Can't get achievements during Challenges (except the clear achievement) nor Seed Set runs.

Mom's Heart used to be extremely pathetic. I can understand why it was buffed.

Guppy OP. You just need to get 3 Guppy items throughout the run. Use items count too, even if you don't hold on to them. I buy them even if I'm not going to use them in anticipation of getting 3, unless I seriously need hearts. If you get Guppy the run is pretty much won. Guppy gives Attack Flies on Hit, On Kill, and On Taking Damage, as well as Flying. It's OP as fu'ck.

Ipecac is so fun to play with now that things actually work with it. I just had a run where I had Ipecac, Fire Mind (flaming tears, which also have a chance to leave flames on the ground), Mom's Eyeshadow (charm tears), and Double Shot and it was easily my most enjoyable runs so far, although not quite the strongest.
There was also a minor patch earlier today. I noticed they nerfed the Dark Bum in said patch, which was pretty expected to be honest. I haven't noticed any other nerfs aside from that yet though.
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - Polantaris - 2014-11-08
Dark Bum getting nerfed doesn't really surprise me. It was basically: Pay 1 Heart for Immortality.
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - Razmos - 2014-11-08
I was actually hoping Dark Bum would be nerfed. It was simply too good and was basically an insta-win once you got it
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - Green4Ever - 2014-11-08
Even with the nerf it's still a pretty heavy carry. All they did was bump it up to 1.5 red hearts per soul heart.
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - Shidoshi - 2014-11-08
At least they changed it so now you can't have more hearts than what fits on screen, if it were the older version it would be stupid powerful.

I just got this game! I played the original a little and found it quite fun. Judging by this topic and a lot of stuff I've seen this is a lot better?
Hopefully I can actually use a gamepad now.

Oh it definitely is, however, I would say you won't get the full feeling of how much better it really is unless you've played through enough of the original to unlock Platinum God, or at least close to it. They more than doubled the steam achievements between games so that should give you an idea of how much more there is to do in Rebirth. Not to mention it isn't coded in craptastic Flash, which is a huge plus in and of itself...
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - Razmos - 2014-11-09
pineapple spiders of all kinds.
The tiny ones that move annoyingly fast and rush at you in sudden bursts
the big ones that do the exact same thing but then split into 2 more of the little fuckers
the tall ones that spawn out little ones that take forever to kill
the jumping ones
the fucking bomb ones
and especially the ones that climb on the fucking walls, AND ESPECIALLY the ones that fire brimstone beams.
Love the game, but that entire enemy type just annoys me to no end.
Getting the Cellar instead of the basement is like torture.
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - Green4Ever - 2014-11-09
The worst part of the Cellar for me is The Haunt. I can never do that stupid boss without taking damage; it's impossible.
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - Shidoshi - 2014-11-09
Wall spiders other than the straight shooting ones feel really cheap. I'm always grateful to have the coin box use item to kill them all as I enter the rooms.
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - Green4Ever - 2014-11-09
So this just happened... (large image because I was playing in full screen)
Spoiler
Got Loki's Horns + Book of Shadows (Library) + Gimpy (Cursed Room) on the first floor, Mom's Knife from a Devil Deal on the second, then finished out Guppy by the time I got down to Utero 1. Anything that tried to walk into me was killed instantly. With Book of Shadows I was able to just hug the bosses and they'd be dead in less than 2-3 seconds. 'Twas quite a fun run, to say the least.![[Image: ZQCaazl.png]](http://i.imgur.com/ZQCaazl.png)
Also unlocked the Polaroid on this run. I was focusing on the Lamb unlocks before so I'd never really bothered to go up to the Cathedral much.

So many people on Twitch were/are going for the unlocks related to that character. I tuned into one of the streams for about an hour last night and I'm pretty sure the guy was on the verge of going insane.
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - Polantaris - 2014-11-09
That character just sounds plain impossible. I doubt many people will be getting Platinum God this time around if he's required to do all 7 unlocks in Hard Mode.
Also, got another interesting seed for everyone: COCK FGHT
