Man let's get working on this again because I'm just sitting here with all these pipes that aren't mine. 17. Sculpture (Sir Donald's Stovepipe-shaped Stovepipe Sculpture) On his thirty-third birthday, Sir Donald had requested from his friends and family a low-key event, and no gifts pricier than a private jet or two. Blatantly disregarding his desires, Sir Donald's friends hired Asskickelangolo, world famous sculptor, to create a life-sized statue of Sir Donald as they ate a scrumptious dinner of Kobe beef fed caviar fed Kobe beef. Angered, Donald managed to hold his rage until the second course, upon which he removed his shirt and charged Asskickelangolo with raised fist. The artist reacted flawlessly, blocking the punch with his chiseled abdominal muscles. The two fought until dessert was served and both were unconscious. Upon being wafted awake with the smell of crème brûlée, Donald noticed that all that was left of the statue of himself was a Stove Pipe made of stone. Asskickelangolo was paid handsomely that day.

so instead of actually booting up the game I decided to watch this over and over

I hope they pick it up again. They were giving me my half-yearly Sunshine fix and now I might have to play it myself.

Yeah, I know the whole health being how he feels about them thing. That diagram explains how the characters developed from Isaac himself and how he feels about them, which I just said I've seen. I'm just saying that no one I've seen has noted that major sin being a shared quality of the actual biblical figures, save for the reference to original sin in the Eve section there.

So does anyone else adore the story and themes in this thing? Seeing all of this Christian lore makes me grin like an idiot it's so fun to think about. I was talking with Stamda the other day about it and the idea that the other characters are Isaac's split personalities borne from his guilt, but I have seen no one mention that they are all, save for Isaac, sinners in the Bible in one way or another. Eve-Original Sin. Cain- First murderer. Magdalene- commonly viewed as a prostitute, but probably wasn't one. I think she was sinful somehow before joining up with Jesus. Judas- Betrayed Jesus, duh. Samson- broke his covenant with God, even though it wasn't really his fault. ???- Isaac's decision to commit suicide, a major sin some Christian groups' eyes. Isaac is the only one not to have been a notable sinner, and in fact carries God's favor through Abraham. I've just never seen anyone mention this and thought it might be relevant.

tripleposting aw yeah

It started as a normal run, seemingly lackluster. A good few bits of HP, some damage, some speed. It was business as usual. Until two things happened. He had come across quite a bit of money, and had purchased a silly nun's habit. After refilling his Dice with he Habit a few times, Isaac ran into a red chest, was transported to an angel room, where he discovered his salvation. He had also taken hold of The Mitre during his travels, and the power he held occurred to him. He was immortal. He gained and gained health, breezing through the murder of monsters and his mom's heart alike. He held in the back of his mind the unlikely chance of godhood. The Left Hand he held in his pocket stretched in a Chapel, when it appeared. He laughed, mad with power, as he threw himself through a spiked door, reveling in the pain, growing stronger and stronger with each scar. He thought himself stronger and mightier than the Devil that had granted the Paw and, indeed, the very God who had delivered the Card and the Mitre. He soiled the sanctity of the Habit he wore, lust for pain and power overcoming him. Now, God and the Devil looked upon Isaac. Satan delivered news of his discomfort with the situation, questioning why God did not punish the boy's hubris. God looked at Satan, smiled, and stated that he worked in mysterious ways. He instructed the Devil to stretch his Left Hand and offer the boy a prize for his attaining godhood. The LEft Hand stretched and Isaac found another crimson chest. Upon touching it, he was transported to a place of sin and greed-- the Devil's room. The Devil put forward two offerings, both costing pocket change to Isaac what was to others their very lives. Isaac, practically undead by that time greedily observed the Quarter and Curse of Babylon put before him. The Devil said they were sent from God himself as an offering of peace between deities. Isaac, fueled by his lust and greed, took upon him the Curse of the Whore. He had forgotten that Soul energy was meaningless in deals. His entire stock of power was taken from him. He had neglected to farm more Red life force. Panicked, he attempted to charge his Card, yet, as a Gish shot a ball of tar at him, he could swear he saw a vengeful angel of God and a grinning Demon of Satan descending upon him in tandem. DEAR DIARY, TODAY I DIED. I WAS KILLED BY HUBRIS IN SOME COLD PLACE. tl;dr: I got the Prayer Card, the Mitre, the Battery, and The Habit. This allowed me to farm tons of heart containers and a healthy stock of Soul Hearts. In The Cathedreal, my Left Hand gave me a Red Chest with Guppy's Paw in it. I then farmed shit tons of soul hearts with a Curse Room, tripped upon another Red Chest while exploring, and neglected to notice that the Deal would take ALL of my Soul Hearts, and I didn't have any heart containers left to get healthy again with. I then died to a Gish and laughed and cried at the same time. Today's lessons: losing a game can be funny as hell and can teach one a good lesson-- don't get overconfident and refrain from greed.

While I do use the DR exclusively, the nerf was pretty fair. The only thing that I don't like is that when death is certain at the hands of an airblasting Pyro, I can't spam "Thanks!" as he keeps me in place.
