Like I said, I mostly play while I'm working. I'm sure a lot of that time is spent with the game idling when I actually have to do work. Either way, that breaks down to 3 hours a day which is a drat sight less than I've spent on MMOs in the past.

Northernlion has 620ish episodes at 30-60 minutes each, plus three hours a week in his online shows, plus he mentioned playing it on Vita a lot just for fun. And I have 500ish hours and haven't made a dime off of playing it.

I think I finally found a loadout that's made better by Cursed Eye. Granted, it's hilariously overpowered even before adding Cursed Eye, but whatever. Use seed HRC0 Q7VX, as Eden, head for the Chest. Highlights: Infestation 2 (starting item) + Ipecac (Caves 1 treasure room, yes pick it up) + Hivemind (Depths 2 store) + Technology 2 (Depths 2 treasure room) + Spoon Bender (The Chest, starting room) + Cursed Eye (The Chest, if a chest drops in the correct room). At that point, Cursed Eye is useful to effectively turn off Ipecac (hold the charge forever) while still taking advantage of the higher damage for Tech 2 and spiders. Bonus points if you manage the Guppy transformation on top of that--it'll take some luck, but at least Guppy's Paw seemed to be in the Cathedral reliably.

NorthernLion's steam page is set to private, so I couldn't tell you about him. CobaltStreak's says he has about 1,200 hours played. (https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197994998171) He does, however, have 3,212 hours played in the original on top of the 1,217 played in Rebirth.

The power cord (Sharp Plug) allows you to fully recharge your usable item at the cost of two hearts by pressing the use button, but only if the meter for it is completely empty. If you have even one bar filled, it won't work. I don't know about the "bowl of poop".

I'm guessing the bowl of poop is Lunch, which just gives you another heart container. Use this link for all your item identifying needs: http://platinumgod.co.uk/ I still need to use it for Pandora's Box and some of the trinkets.

As soon as the lamb dies, that counts. Even if you die after defeating it, that still counts.

I wasn't planning on using my Moon card before going in there, but since it was so easy I thought it'd be fun. I was worried I'd defeat the skull and the game would end before I used the card, so I played it super safe.

It does. After the book pool is exhausted it starts pulling from the item room pool. Just make sure you touch each book before you reroll them or they'll keep showing up.

Libra can do some wonderful things  I had PhD and There's Options, so I managed to snag an outrageous amount of stat-ups... and then I found Soy Milk.  The tears spawned above my head (is that what shot height does?), so it was kind of hard to aim. My fire rate was insane (no surprise there), but a single one of those tears was enough to one-shot just about every enemy in the game. Bosses didn't fare much better. Then something magical happened when I reached the Chest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5Ds9jNuiJw

I had a pretty good Judas build in Sheol; nothing overpowering, mostly just a good fire rate and high damage, as well as having picked up two fly items and one Guppy items. Found a Dice Room that changed my loadout into an utter abomination - Number One, Soy Milk, Monstro's Lung, and Fire Mind. I had to get right on top of enemies to get into range, my tears did basically no damage, and they randomly exploded in my face. The real insult is that the reroll didn't give me another fly or Guppy item, so I still didn't have flying, and I could only find Dead Cat on the next floor before I died. That wasn't my favorite run.

Afterbirth update Rebirth for XBone, WiiU, and 3DS is out on Thursday. Afterbirth OST is up for pre-order on Bandcamp, and there's a new track to preview. https://ridiculon.bandcamp.com/album/the-binding-of-isaac-afterbirth-ost Lilith and her starting familiar Incubus in action:  Along with the unidentified golden box she also starts with, and one other passive that doesn't have any hints that I can see. Hidden link:  And the string OneVmVUPe? is in the Tumblr tags, but it doesn't come up with anything on bit.ly, goo.gl, or imgur I'm thinking the Incubus shoots the normal tears Lilith would shoot if she wasn't blind. Combined with an Isaac that wasn't blind, that's double your firepower. It probably wouldn't get any special shot changers for balance. The box probably spawns some kind of pet.

I haven't been able to figure it out or track it down to any one particular item, but what is the story with the evil, Necronomicon-looking book that occasionally pops up on the screen and kills/damages all enemies in the room? It's saved my rear end more than a couple of times, but I'm unable to reliably "conjure" it.

I found the Necronomicon on the wiki and knew for certain that I had never picked it up, but Dry Babies can apparently trigger the same effect. Learn something new! EDIT: A funny thing just happened earlier tonight--I made it to Womb II for the first time, but inadvertently triggered something that teleported me into a devil room, but the devil room had a trap door. I'd never seen this before so, naturally, I had to jump down. Ended up in Sheol and my first "encounter" with Womb II's boss was to completely sidestep it.

Manatee Cannon posted:Black hearts also cause the Necronomicon effect when you lose one Yeah, but the black heart swells on the screen when that happens. When Dry Baby or one of the Missing Pages procs, the Necronomicon swells. Speaking of, the Necronomicon was one of the last items I needed to RPG, and I didn't even think about it because I'd seen Dry Baby go off so many times. How often do you use a Death card, anyway?

An Angel or Devil Room in Womb II or Utero II will always have an exit like that.
