YASD : Yeti Loop

Edit : This post contains several spoilers, by the way.

Hey

I just discovered Spelunky a week ago, and it is an amazing game. Hadn't see a game with so much secrets and way to handle situations since I started playing Nethack, it's really great.

I came here to tell about a stupidly funny dead I got on my best run yet. I was down to the yeti area with ton of gears including a jetpack and a shotgun, and 10 hearts thanks to Kali's bloodsucking gift. I didn't have a lot of gold but that's not a problem, I'm only aiming to reach the end for now .

I was confidently jumping down near a yeti when  ... all hell broke loose. Please see for yourself, as no word may describe such sinister fate :

Too bad I failed to record sound, you can actually hear me gaining hearts with Kali's gift way after my dead ^^.

That's pretty awesome, he actually pulverized you! I wonder if we should have a  separate video thread for all the things people record?

maybe not just another thread but another subforum! - actually there should be one for spelunky 'tales' , like, run descriptions and vids

Hehe, that's a funny death. I've had the yeti loop death several times but never with the chalice to prolong the inevitable death.

I like that idea. YASD/YAVP posts are pretty common in the rogue-like communities and having a place to collect them here for Spelunky sounds nice.

Cool, think I'll get one going and ask that it be pinned, well a thread that is. If it starts loading up, maybe we will see it become a new board. For now I'll start with links to what is already here so you guys don't have to post it again. Here goes!
