This run is almost unbelievable to me. BOTH of my inadvertent deaths were caused by almost exactly the same circumstances. Just maddening.
Spelunky Lesson of the Day: If you want another reason for why the jetpack is almost always preferable over the cape, use this video as reference to find out why stunlocks with capes suck.
13:30 - Talk about cutting it close!
15:40 - Ack, that Royal Jelly basically went to waste due to all the collision damage here...
17:34 - Another close call! Sweet moves, if I do say so myself.
18:25 - Ah cape, how you've betrayed me! Being stunlocked while your cape is up is another pretty frustrating way to die. I take my earlier sentiments back. Instead of yeti chainthrows being the second worst way to die (after the #1 of a rock on a spring), cape stunlock is my actual second worst. Forgot about it until this crap happened.
18:46 - And the troublesome shopkeeper offed himself without my intervention. Great waste of a Ankh!
20:44 - A lack of climbing gloves makes the Ice Caves trickier than my usual strategies for it, but I still can adapt with ropes and bombs.
24:30 - Amidst all the frustrations of this run, this is actually the first time, out of any version of Spelunky available, that I managed to get the maximum of 99 bombs. Imagine that, eh?
25:52 - 99 bombs and 9 ropes. Cool. If only I had 9 health too!
27:47 - Now, with a failed City of Gold run, I'd usually attempt the Mothership and/or Worm to make things more interesting (as I almost always avoid them when going for Hell due to the risk involved), but with 99 bombs at my disposal, the Plasma Cannon seems redundant. Sure, it's infinite, but its quite a bit more dangerous than just lots of bombs due to the intense recoil and instantaneous detonation.
32:57 - Sadly, the useless-in-this-version-of-the-game Hedjet is still necessary for the City of Gold even if you manage to get all the other pieces...
34:24 - Ain't that a bitch? Twice in one run...
