or MEETING the reckless dead, but the ASH tombstone being in some impossible-to-reach spot...

I haven't found the shotgun to be that useful. Most enemies seem easy enough to whip or avoid. The problem is when they come from unexpected angels, where the shotgun doesn't help and may even hinder.

also trying to juggle it and a chick tends to get me killed more itmes than it's worth.

bomb the wall behind the big green alien thing for a jetpack

I just found that out like 5 minutes ago!

spelunky has the obvious annoyance of shit trying to kill you constantly and effectively, but even when you're not instadying to spikes that you couldn't see before you dropped or whatever the gameplay is not particularly fun.

There's also no (as far as I can see) payoff. In stuff like IWBTG you playthrough because it's interesting to see what kayin did with each area and the boss fights were sweet etcetera but I can play through several levels and still end up in an area just as mundane as were I started.

I dunno man, I find both A) the game play to be fun and B) the payoff to be cool because I almost always discover something new whenever I play.

Can anyone tell me what that gold eyeball thing you get out of the locked chest in the cave section is (maybe you can find it in the later sections, but I always find it early so far).

Lets you see gems buried in the earth.

Also it will flash when you're close to a secret area in the jungle.

Does the game take a long time to load/generate levels for everyone, or just me?

Kazz · « **Reply #49 on:** January 10, 2009, 09:53:35 AM »

just you.

[12:44] <Kazz> so I don't know why these busty blond ladies keep winding up in this cave
[12:44] <Kazz> not that I mind
[12:45] <Kazz> but it perturbs me that they don't mind being escorted further into the cave and then abandoned in a tunnel
[12:45] <Squizzle> Why are you playing Geothermal's Fantastic Journey?
[12:46] <Kazz> guess i've got brain problems
[12:46] <Squizzle> :)
[12:50] <Kazz> maybe they belong to the fucker who starts all these god damned shops
[12:50] <Kazz> these caves are like a fucking strip mall
[12:50] <Kazz> i won't fall for that, though. this game scores you on how much money you had when you died.

in this way it mimics life.

What would be really cool is expansion packs

If you're going to ape Nethack, might as well do it right.

Here's a new exe that should fix the shooting yourself bug.

Norondor · « **Reply #58 on:** January 11, 2009, 11:44:22 AM »

Spikey · « **Reply #59 on:** January 11, 2009, 12:43:50 PM »
