Binding of Isaac Hype

I'm unbelievably excited for Binding of Isaac: Rebirth.  I still play at least one game of Isaac per day, it has so much stuff in it to keep you entertained.  I can name 90% of the bosses by memory because I've played it so much.  The game is a bit off-putting at first, the fact that your starting attack is just crying and shooting your tears at enemies is strange to say the least.  Eventually it gets to the point where you can say "I just killed Satan by crying on him!" and genuinely mean that.  The story is weird, and everything except the back-story isn't very clear.  The back-story has a narration to go along with it, so you know exactly what's going on, but all the cutscenes afterwards don't have any voice over at all, leaving you to assume what's just happened in it.  Despite that, I love the game to death because of so many reasons.  It's gameplay is insanely fun and can get very tense when you have that one heart left and you're fighting this mob of weird meat zombies that want to eat your face.  The thing that keeps me hooked on it is the fact that every game you play is different.  Each floor you go to is randomly generated, the items that spawn are randomly generated, the drops you get from each room are randomly generated, EVERYTHING is randomly generated.  I love it so much.  All of the characters have their own quirks that you have to change your play style for, so if you get bored with one character, you just switch to another and suddenly the game is just different enough for you to get the feeling of change while still being able to understand what's going on. And rebirth is going to add even more characters and stuff, so I'm super hyped for it.
