He's not the boss I have the most trouble with, but I hate Monstro. I rarely seem to find good offensive items in the Basement, so it's almost always a ten minute grind.

If I had to make one adjustment to The Lost, I'd remove all useless (health increasing, soul heart spawning) or self damaging items from his drop pools. Some people would argue that's too much of a buff, though.

Smart money is that bombing Satan will actually do something interesting soon.

Is that the one Edmund tweeted and said it's as close as anyone has gotten to understanding what was going on in his head during the design?

Just see what the first item is, then spend fifteen minutes restarting until it's something good…

The conversation about Braid/Blow always seemed to be "He's pretentious and detached from reality because he made a game where you're supposed to think!"

"A minute to learn," is a roguelike staple? Nethack has like 50 different essential buttons and it's one of the easier ones.

Good observation, I didn't even think of that.

Didn't whoever wrote about Rebirth when it came out just whine about how it wasn't as good as the original? Might have something to do with that.

On that note, my favorite enemy is Lust. Lust appears as a diseased Isaac who only attacks by running at you. Isaac is so deprived that his interpretation of the deadly sin of lust is the desire for human contact, and he sees himself as impure/sinful because of it.

DeForge is so good he makes me feel terrible about being around the same age and being good at nothing.

90s comics were full of just-because extraneous powers, so don't worry about it too much.

Time to fire up the impotent internet petition machine in support of Donald Glover.

I first saw Spaceballs when I was maybe three or four and rewatched it at least once a year. I saw the original trilogy when I was 14. Imagine my surprise that the plot developed differently from Spaceballs.

I think they were also somewhat irresponsible when it came to their resources for the first game; that arena DLC was never ported to PS3 due to lost assets or somesuch.

I actually think I've been pretty civil with you, all things considered. But there's a difference between being idealistic and being nice, and frankly you're kind of a dick for being so against the idea of someone getting an appeal.

I don't care about football beyond wanting the Redskins to lose but this was always an entertaining read.

You can say I'm being idealistic, but I think that's appropriate when someone's life is on the line.

I know this sounds insulting/flippant, but you seem to have no idea what constitutes strong evidence, or what reasonable doubt means in relation to a criminal verdict.

I'm not discounting any of those points.
