I could just look it up, but - does chaos just spawn a random amount of random crap?

I think it increased my health by 1 red once as well.

I always take it anyway, just for the grin. 

It's a major improvement. Two things bother me;

Level design
So there are thin rooms now, and L shapes. This seems to lack.

Voice Acting
I want the same for every item and effect in the game, not just the pills. I feel fine demanding this because its the internet and that means its ok to be entitled.

Also Scampie, I did get what you meant with breakable... I was more jumping on the defense of disruption as a valid game mechanic rather than trying to keep everything clean and perfect. In a game like this, the more you can break it, the better - because it probably won't happen again unless you're very luck and hunt for it. 

Chaos shuffles the item pools. So item room items can drop from bosses, shop items can be devil deals, angel room items can be shop items... It's kind of insane if you get lucky.... but it can also turn all your item rooms into breakfast. 

And I wasn't saying breaking the game was a bad thing, it's fun to get everything! It would only be bad if it's too damn easy, which sometimes it is in Greed mode.

Just reading all the reddit posts about the 109 hour unlock.

What a whiny bunch of self entitled little turds. It was pretty obvious to anyone who looked at the thing how the super secret was going to be: http://kotaku.com/the-binding-of-isaacs-new-secrets-sound-completely-nuts-1740324627

'There will be a big patch at 109 hours' is pretty unequivocal.

I admit I haven't checked out the game yet to see what has supposedly been nerfed...

Either way, this is atypical gamer bile. Is the whole ARG / super secret thing a pretty dumb idea? Yes. You can only solve a puzzle once. the time and energy wasted could have been better used on making something more cyclic and flexible, like a daily achievement goal (win 10 dailies in a row against 10 friends or more) or something similar.

With item unlocks from that.

Or items that unlock other items but it's almost impossible to get the daisy chain going that eventually unlocks them all.

Is anyone following the daily boards much? I played yesterday but nobody was up yet. IMO it'd be better if the friends leaderboard was displayed on the splash screen.

Aw, they broke the glass cannon :( 

r/bindingofisaac can be pretty fucking awful, but I was hoping I'm preordering a content complete game.

Dennaton and Nicalis were the only two companies I decided to trust with preordering and both have shat the bed somewhat :( 

3 days wait is nothing. I played quite a bit and din't get all of the 74 items before the patch. 

The DLC hasn't even been out a week, it's just amazing how excited people are getting over all this.
People should really learn to be more chill. 

Not only is Azazel properly balanced now (and not an automatic win) but the game also removed by cathedral completion pip :( 

He now seems like a proper character. Before there wasn't much point in finding damage up items. And even tears up effects were marginally good. 

Edmund said he was over-nerfed, they will probably reboost him a bit in the next patch. 

Well, I've got enough to be going on with for the rest of the content in the meantime. 

Bumbo is the hero we all deserve. 

If you exit the daily you lose without warning.

You win Scampie... 

I apparently did really well on today's... Shitty Maggy run until Caves 1? (maybe 2?) and you find Dr Fetus. I was also lucky in that I decided to buy Remote Detonator the floor previous, so I just steam rolled the rest of the daily.

Also, I went for 'clear everything' meta. Last few days I noticed my score was mostly the same as negke's, but he too much longer. So I specifically cleared every room I could and I think it is worth doing if you can. I also did the secret boss (little too slow for Boss Rush though), which gives a 5555 score bonus.

Sucks you can't continue... That's likely to prevent scumming though, for instance you can exit and continue to save your life sometimes if you do it fast enough. 

So time isn't so important then, good to know.

Also, there is a new beggar!

According to Gothika_47 he Feeds on misinformation and has a huge chance to start outrage. 

Yeah, Damage is the biggest negative factor I think. Time is just 1 point per second... but each key you have on you when you die is worth like 10 I think, and the other pickups are worth a lot too. Killing enemies are worth a bunch too... so really as long as you are doing things quickly, you're gaining more points than you lose by killing everything and getting all the stuff.

Completing Boss Rush and Hush are big score bonuses, they are the biggest factor for wanting to go fast really. 

Looking at it closer, it seems reasonably fair and logical.

I wish the friends leaderboard was shown on the start screen :( 

Seems like you lose points when spending stuff as well? I noticed I was losing a lot when spending coins or keys on beggars. 

I was in time for hush but it didn't open. Bible'd the heart and mom herself, which was a good call early on to take. 

Is hilarious. 

Azazel is pretty much back to normal then.

I assumed the 'nerf' would be making him work like bluebaby, but only able to collect black hearts and all health ups just adding a black.

But I saw today that he can still earn reds like before.

Anyone know if this was mentioned by the devs?
