pos: Philadelphia Philadelphia ( -LSB- ˌfɪləˈdɛlfi.ə -RSB- ) is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the sixth-most populous city in the United States , with an estimated population of 1,567,872 and more than 6 million in the seventh-largest metropolitan statistical area , . Philadelphia is the economic and cultural anchor of the Delaware Valleya region located in the Northeastern United States at the confluence of the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers with 7.2 million people residing in the eighth-largest combined statistical area in the United States .   In 1682 , William Penn , an English Quaker , founded the city to serve as capital of the Pennsylvania Colony . Philadelphia played an instrumental role in the American Revolution as a meeting place for the Founding Fathers of the United States , who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the Constitution in 1787 . Several other key Philadelphia events during the Revolution include the First and Second Continental Congress , the preservation of the Liberty Bell , the Battle of Germantown , the Siege of Fort Mifflin , and the Philadelphia Convention . Philadelphia was one of the nation 's capitals in the Revolutionary War , and served as temporary U.S. capital while Washington , D.C. , was under construction . In the 19th century , Philadelphia became a major industrial center and railroad hub that grew from an influx of European immigrants . The majority of European immigrants have come from Ireland , Italy and Germany -- the three largest reported ancestry groups in the city . The city became a prime destination for African Americans during the Great Migration of the 20th century , as well as Puerto Ricans , surpassing two million occupants by 1950 .   The area 's many universities and colleges make Philadelphia a top international study destination , as the city has evolved into an educational and economic hub . With a gross domestic product of $ 388 billion , Philadelphia ranks ninth among world cities and fourth in the nation . Philadelphia is the center of economic activity in Pennsylvania and is home to seven Fortune 1000 companies . The Philadelphia skyline is growing , with a market of almost 81,900 commercial properties in 2016 including several nationally prominent skyscrapers . The city is known for its arts , culture , and rich history , attracting over 41 million domestic tourists alone in 2015 . Philadelphia has more outdoor sculptures and murals than any other American city . Fairmount Park , when combined with the adjacent Wissahickon Valley Park in the same watershed , is one of the largest contiguous urban park areas in the United States . The 67 National Historic Landmarks in the city helped account for the $ 10 billion generated by tourism . Philadelphia is the birthplace of the United States Marine Corps , and is also the home of many U.S. firsts , including the first library ( 1731 ) , first hospital ( 1751 ) and medical school ( 1765 ) , first Capital ( 1777 ) , first stock exchange ( 1790 ) , first zoo ( 1874 ) , and first business school ( 1881 ) .

pos: United States Marine Corps The United States Marine Corps ( USMC ) , also known as the United States Marines , is a branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for providing power projection , using the mobility of the United States Navy , by Congressional mandate , to deliver rapidly , combined-arms task forces on land , at sea , and in the air . The U.S. Marine Corps is one of the four armed service branches in the U.S. Department of Defense ( DoD ) and one of the seven uniformed services of the United States . The current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff , the highest-ranking military officer in the U.S. Armed Forces , is a Marine Corps general .   The Marine Corps has been a component of the U.S. Department of the Navy since 30 June 1834 , working closely with naval forces for training , transportation , and logistics . The USMC operates posts on land and aboard sea-going amphibious warfare ships around the world . Additionally , several of the Marines ' tactical aviation squadrons , primarily Marine Fighter Attack squadrons , are also embedded in Navy carrier air wings and operate from the Navy 's nuclear-powered aircraft carriers .   Two battalions of Continental Marines were formed on 10 November 1775 in Philadelphia as a service branch of infantry troops capable of fighting for independence both at sea and on shore . The role of the Corps has since grown and evolved , expanding to aerial warfare and earning popular titles such as , `` America 's third air force '' , and , `` second land army '' . The U.S. Marine Corps has distinguished itself as it has served in the majority of American wars and armed conflicts , from its inception to the modern era , and attained prominence in the 20th century when its theories and practices of amphibious warfare proved prescient and ultimately formed the cornerstone of the Pacific theater of World War II .   By the mid-20th century , the U.S. Marine Corps had become a major theorist of and the world 's dominant practitioner of amphibious warfare . Its ability to rapidly respond on short notice to expeditionary crises gives it a strong role in the implementation and execution of American foreign policy . As of 2016 , the USMC has around 182,000 active duty members and some 38,500 reserve Marines . It is the smallest of the U.S. Armed Forces within the DoD .

neg: 84th Division (United States) The 84th Training Command ( `` Railsplitters '' ) is a formation of the United States Army . During World War I and World War II , it was known as the 84th Infantry Division . From 1946 to 1952 , the division was a part of the United States Army Reserve as the 84th Airborne Division . In 1959 , the division was reorganized and redesignated once more to the 84th Division . The division was headquartered in Milwaukee in command of over 4,100 soldiers divided into eight brigades -- including an ROTC brigade -- spread throughout seven states .   Changes to the U.S. Army Reserve organizations from 2005 until 2007 redesigned the unit as the 84th Training Command ( Leader Readiness ) and it was paired with the Army Reserve Readiness Training Center ( ARRTC ) . The flag resided at Fort McCoy , Wisconsin . As a result of Base Realignment and Closure ( BRAC ) throughout the Army , the 84th Training Command ( LR ) was moved to Fort Knox , Kentucky in September 2008 . Since the move , the 84th Training Command and ARRTC split , leaving the ARRTC with leader readiness and training support . The 84th Training Command was re-designated once again to 84th Training Command ( Unit Readiness ) .   In September 2010 , the 84th was renamed 84th Training Command and began reorganization . The 84th mission currently supports three training divisions -- The 78th Training Division ( Ft. Dix , NJ ) , the 86th Training Division ( Ft. McCoy , WI ) , and the 91st Training Division ( Ft. Hunter Liggett , CA ) .   Tradition has it that the division traces its lineage to the Illinois militia company in which a young Captain Abraham Lincoln served during the Black Hawk War of 1832 . The division patch was selected to honor this legacy and the division 's origin in Illinois . For this reason , the alternative nickname of `` Lincoln County '' Division '' has been used to denote the 84th .

neg: Philadelphia English Philadelphia English is a variety or dialect of American English native to Philadelphia and extending into Philadelphia 's suburbs in the Delaware Valley and South Jersey . The Philadelphia accent is one of the best-studied , as Philadelphia 's University of Pennsylvania is the home institution of pioneering sociolinguist William Labov . Philadelphia English shares some distinct features with New York City English and Midland American English , although it is still its own very distinct dialect . However , the closest relative of the Philadelphia accent of the mid-twentieth century is the Baltimore accent , both of which constitute what Labov describes as a single `` Mid-Atlantic '' regional dialect .   According to linguist Barbara Johnstone , migration patterns and geography affected the dialect 's development , which was especially influenced by immigrants from Northern England , Scotland , and Northern Ireland . The accent is commonly found within the Irish American and Italian American working class neighborhoods .

neg: Philadelphia campaign The Philadelphia campaign ( 1777 -- 1778 ) was a British initiative in the American Revolutionary War to gain control of Philadelphia , which was then the seat of the Second Continental Congress . British General William Howe , after unsuccessfully attempting to draw the Continental Army under General George Washington into a battle in northern New Jersey , embarked his army on transports , and landed them at the northern end of Chesapeake Bay . From there , he advanced northward toward Philadelphia . Washington prepared defenses against Howe 's movements at Brandywine Creek , but was flanked and beaten back in the Battle of Brandywine on September 11 , 1777 . After further skirmishes and maneuvers , Howe was able to enter and occupy Philadelphia . Washington then unsuccessfully attacked one of Howe 's garrisons at Germantown before retreating to Valley Forge for the winter .   Howe 's campaign was controversial because , although he successfully captured the American capital of Philadelphia , he proceeded slowly and did not aid the concurrent campaign of John Burgoyne further north , which ended in disaster at Saratoga for the British , and brought France into the war . General Howe resigned during the occupation of Philadelphia and was replaced by his second-in-command , General Sir Henry Clinton . Clinton evacuated the troops from Philadelphia back to New York City in 1778 in order to increase that city 's defenses against a possible Franco-American attack . Washington harried the British army all the way across New Jersey , and successfully forced a battle at Monmouth Court House that was one of the largest battles of the war .   At the end of the campaign the two armies were roughly in the same positions they were at its beginning .

neg: New York City draft riots The New York draft riots ( July 13 -- 16 , 1863 ) , known at the time as Draft Week , were violent disturbances in Lower Manhattan , widely regarded as the culmination of working-class discontent with new laws passed by Congress that year to draft men to fight in the ongoing American Civil War . The riots remain the largest civil and racial insurrection in American history , aside from the Civil War itself .   U.S. President Abraham Lincoln diverted several regiments of militia and volunteer troops from following up after the Battle of Gettysburg to control the city . The rioters were overwhelmingly working-class men , who resented that wealthier men , who could afford to pay a $ 300 ( equivalent to $ 9,157 in 2017 ) commutation fee to hire a substitute , were spared from the draft .   Initially intended to express anger at the draft , the protests turned into a race riot , with white rioters , predominantly Irish immigrants , attacking blacks throughout the city . The official death toll was listed at either 119 or 120 individuals . Conditions in the city were such that Major General John E. Wool , commander of the Department of the East , said on July 16 that `` Martial law ought to be proclaimed , but I have not a sufficient force to enforce it . ''   The military did not reach the city until after the first day of rioting , by which time the mobs , primarily ethnic Irish , had already ransacked or destroyed numerous public buildings , two Protestant churches , the homes of various abolitionists or sympathizers , many black homes , and the Colored Orphan Asylum at 44th Street and Fifth Avenue , which was burned to the ground .   The area 's demographics changed as a result of the riot . Many blacks left Manhattan permanently ( many moving to Brooklyn ) . By 1865 their population fell below 10,000 , the number in 1820 .

neg: History of Springfield, Massachusetts The history of Springfield , Massachusetts ( est. 1636 ) springs in large part from its favorable geography , situated on a steep bluff overlooking the Connecticut River 's confluence with three tributaries . It was an ancient Indian crossroad for two major trade routes : Boston-to-Albany and New York City-to-Montreal . Springfield also sits on some of the northeastern United States ' most fertile soil .   Springfield was founded in 1636 as Agawam , the northernmost settlement of the Connecticut Colony . The settlement defected from Connecticut after four years , however , later joining forces with the coastal Massachusetts Bay Colony . The town changed its name to Springfield , and changed the political boundaries among what later became New England States .   Springfield flourished as a trading post and agricultural center until 1675 's King Philip 's War , when a coalition of Indians laid siege to Springfield and later burned it to the ground . Its prosperity waned for the next hundred years but , in 1777 , United States Revolutionary War leaders made it a National Armory to store weapons , and in 1795 it began manufacturing muskets .   Until 1968 , the Armory made small arms . Its first American muskets ( 1794 ) were followed by the famous Springfield rifle and the revolutionary M1 Garand and M14s . The Springfield Armory attracted generations of skilled laborers to the city , making it the United States ' longtime center for precision manufacturing ( comparable to a Silicon Valley of the Industrial Revolution ) . The Armory 's near-capture during Shays Rebellion of 1787 was among the troubles that prompted the U.S. Constitutional Convention later that year .   Innovations in the 19th and 20th centuries include the first American English dictionary ( 1805 , Noah Webster ) , the first use of interchangeable parts and the assembly line in manufacturing ( 1819 , Thomas Blanchard ) , the first American horseless car ( 1825 , again Thomas Blanchard ) , vulcanized rubber ( 1844 , Charles Goodyear ) , the first American gasoline-powered car ( 1893 , Duryea Brothers ) , the first American motorcycle company ( 1901 , `` Indian '' ) , an early commercial radio station ( 1921 , WBZ , and most famously , the world 's third-most-popular sport of basketball ( 1891 , Dr. James Naismith ) .   Throughout the latter half of the 20th century , Springfield endured a protracted decline , accelerated by the decommission of the Springfield Armory in 1969 . Springfield became increasingly like the declining , second tier Northeastern U.S. cities from which it had long been set apart . During the 1980s and 1990s , Springfield developed a new reputation for crime , political corruption , and cronyism . Seeking to overcome its downgrade , the city undertook several large ( but unfinished ) projects , including a $ 1 billion high-speed rail ( New Haven-Hartford-Springfield high-speed rail ) , a proposed $ 1 billion MGM Casino , and others .

neg: New Jersey Line The New Jersey Line was a formation within the Continental Army . The term `` New Jersey Line '' referred to the quota of numbered infantry regiments assigned to New Jersey at various times by the Continental Congress . These , together with similar contingents from the other twelve states , formed the Continental Line . The concept was particularly important in relation to the promotion of commissioned officers . Officers of the Continental Army below the rank of brigadier general were ordinarily ineligible for promotion except in the line of their own state .   Not all Continental infantry regiments raised in a state were part of a state quota , however . On December 27 , 1776 , the Continental Congress gave Washington temporary control over certain military decisions that the Congress ordinarily regarded as its own prerogative . These `` dictatorial powers '' included the authority to raise sixteen additional Continental infantry regiments at large .   Early in 1777 , Washington offered command of one of these additional regiments to David Forman of New Jersey , who accepted . Forman had formerly been a New Jersey militia leader .   Washington also offered command of an additional regiment to Oliver Spencer of New Jersey , who accepted . In 1776 , Spencer had also served in the New Jersey militia . Spencer 's Regiment was unofficially designated the `` 5th New Jersey Regiment . '' One company was recruited in Pennsylvania , however .   Patton 's Additional Continental Regiment was also partially drawn from New Jersey .   Still other Continental infantry regiments and smaller units , also unrelated to a state quota , were raised as needed for special or temporary service .   Under the command of Brigadier General William Maxwell , it was also known as `` Maxwell 's brigade '' or simply , the `` Jersey Line . '' As with preceding military units from New Jersey , the regiments that comprised the New Jersey Line were often referred to as the `` Jersey Blues . ''

Rogue has the involuntary ability to absorb and sometimes also remove the memories , physical strength , and superpowers of anyone she touches . Therefore , Rogue considers her powers to be a curse . For most of her life , she limited her physical contact with others , including her on-off love interest , Gambit . However , after many years , Rogue finally gained full control over her mutant ability .   Hailing from the fictional Caldecott County , Mississippi , Rogue is the X-Men 's self-described southern belle .

After Rogue permanently absorbs Ms. Marvel 's psyche and Kree powers , she reforms and turns to the X-Men , fearing for her sanity .

Her name was revealed as Anna Marie , although her surname is still unknown . She has sometimes adopted the name Raven , which is the first name of her foster mother Mystique .   Rogue has been one of the most prominent members of the X-Men since the 1980s .

neg: The Eel (fictional character) The Eel is a pulp fiction character , a gentleman thief of `` courageous action and questionable morals , '' created by Hugh B. Cave , writing under the pseudonym Justin Case . Short stories about The Eel originally appeared from 1936 to 1942 in the Spicy magazines issued by Culture Publications .   In the first of the series , `` Eel Trap , '' the author introduces the character thus :   I like my name , The Eel . People have been calling me that ever since I began working on the theory , years ago , that the world owed me a living and damned if I would n't collect it . Matter of fact , the gentry of the law who tagged me with the name now like it a whole lot less than I do . Eels tend to be slippery , no ?   Cave would later explain , in his foreword to Escapades of the Eel , that it was his admiration of author Damon Runyon that led him to write the adventures using `` the same present-tense , first-person narrative style that marked so many of his great yarns . ''

neg: Batman: Anarky Batman : Anarky is a 1999 trade paperback published by DC Comics . The book collects prominent appearances of Anarky , a comic book character created by Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle . Although all of the collected stories were written by Alan Grant , various artists contributed to individual stories . Dual introductions were written by the creatorsboth of whom introduce the character and give insight into their role in Anarky 's creation and development .   Featured as an antagonist in various Batman comics during the '90s , stories based on the character were highly thematic , political , and philosophical in tone . The majority of the collected stories ( `` Anarky in Gotham City '' , `` Anarky : Tomorrow Belongs to Us '' , `` Anarky '' ) are influenced by the philosophy of anarchism , while the final story ( `` Metamorphosis '' ) is influenced by Frank R. Wallace . Although anti-statism is the overarching theme of the collection , other concepts are explored . Anarky 's characterization was expanded throughout the stories to present him first as a libertarian socialist and anarchist , and in the final story as a vehicle for explorations into atheism , rationalism , and bicameralism . Literary references are also utilized throughout the collected stories to stress the philosophical foundations of the character . The collection also tracks the character 's evolution from a petty , street-crime fighting vigilante , to a competent freedom fighter in opposition to powerful forces of evil .   Critics have positively received some of the stories within the collection , analyzing Anarky as a unique force for political commentary and discussion within DC Comics ' storytelling . However , the expansive growth of the character 's unique abilities and characterization has also fueled criticism as having overpowered the character beyond suspension of disbelief .

neg: Rogue Twitter accounts Following the election of Donald Trump as the 45th President of United States a ` Resist ' movement began for those in opposition to his presidency .

neg: Rogue trader A rogue trader is an employee authorized to make trades on behalf of their employer ( subject to certain conditions ) who makes unauthorized trades . It is most often applied to financial trading , when rogue professional traders make unapproved financial transactions .   This activity is often in the grey area between civil and criminal transgression , because the perpetrator is a legitimate employee of a company or institution , yet enters into transactions on behalf of their employer without permission .   In several cases traders have initially made very large profits for their employers , and bonuses for themselves , from trades in breach of the rules , and it has widely been said that employers turned a blind eye to transgressions due to the profits involved .   One famous rogue trader is Nick Leeson , whose losses on unauthorized investments in index futures contracts were sufficient to bankrupt his employer Barings Bank in 1995 . Through a combination of poor judgement on his part , increasingly large initial profits , lack of oversight by management , a naïve regulatory environment , and an unforeseen outside event , the Kobe earthquake , Leeson incurred a US$ 1.3 billion loss that bankrupted the centuries-old financial institution .   The key factor determining the use of the term is lack of authorisation . There have been colossal financial losses and bankruptcies from what are considered to be catastrophically bad decisions by senior decision-makers in financial institutions , such as the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers which necessitated the 2008 United Kingdom bank rescue package , but this is not described as rogue trading and is not punishable .   In the UK the term is also used to describe dishonest tradesmen such as double-glazing salesmen , second-hand car dealers , gas fitters , mechanics , roofers , plumbers and domestic rubbish collectors . A BBC Television programme exposing such practices was called Watchdog , which was later followed by Rogue Traders .

neg: Rog-O-Matic Rog-O-Matic is a bot developed in 1981 to play and win the computer game Rogue , by four graduate students in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh : Andrew Appel , Leonard Hamey , Guy Jacobson and Michael Loren Mauldin .   Described as a `` belligerent expert system '' , Rog-O-Matic performs well when tested against expert Rogue players , even winning the game .   Because all information in Rogue is communicated to the player via ASCII text , Rog-O-Matic has automatic access to the same information a human player has . The program is still the subject of some scholarly interest ; a 2005 paper said :   One of Rog-O-Matic 's authors , Michael Loren Mauldin , would go on to write the Lycos search engine .

neg: Vendetta for the Saint Vendetta for the Saint is a 1964 mystery novel featuring the character of Simon Templar , alias `` The Saint '' . The novel is credited to Leslie Charteris , who created the Saint in 1928 , but the book was actually authored by Harry Harrison , a noted science fiction author who also wrote the syndicated Saint comic strip . Although Harrison wrote the majority of the book as a ghost writer , he indicates in an interview that Charteris did contribute to the final book ( albeit in a very minor way ) . .   The reference work The Saint : A Complete History by Burl Barer , however , indicates that Charteris was heavily involved in editing the book . This was the first Saint volume published after Charteris chose to step back from actively writing the adventures and would be followed by a number of books credited to Charteris but actually written by other authors . Charteris remained as editor of the books , approving stories and revising material when needed . These books would be mostly based upon teleplays from the TV series or scenarios from the comic strip ; the next wholly original Saint literary stories would n't be published until the novella collection Catch the Saint more than a decade later .   Vendetta for the Saint was the first full-length Saint novel published since The Saint Sees it Through was published 18 years earlier .   In 1969 a television adaptation of the novel ( see below for details ) was released as a theatrical film , also entitled Vendetta for the Saint .

neg: Deliria Deliria : Faerie Tales for a New Millennium is an `` interactive urban fantasy setting '' created by Phil Brucato . The title refers to an altered state of awareness in which several levels of reality can be perceived at once , to both good and ill effect .   The core concept behind Deliria is one of `` ordinary people in an extraordinary world . '' Inspired by classical fairy tales and urban fantasy , the setting presents a multicultural world in which magic is always present but often invisible . To `` twilight people '' who encounter the magical realm , the world becomes a frightening yet wonderful place . Meanwhile , the immortal faeries , or aelderfolk , regard mortal humanity with a mixture of awe and terror . The accelerating pace of human imagination reverberates through both worlds , bringing changes that many aelders fear . Within the tensions of this setting , ordinary people become heroes - or villains - in their own new fairy tales .   Inspired by authors like Charles de Lint , Erik Davis and Francesca Lia Block , films like Edward ScissorHands and Practical Magic , world music and ethereal wave music , and TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer , Deliria 's setting emphasizes `` normal people '' over superheroes . As a role-playing game , it features a flexible rules system , collaborative storytelling , and a character-crafting process based on telling stories about the character . Deliria has also been noted for its vivid digital art , evocative short stories , and emphasis of `` courage rather than carnage . ''

In the storyline , Minsc is a ranger , originally tasked with serving as a bodyguard to the witch Dynaheir as part of a `` dajemma '' ( rite of passage ) . When Dynaheir is captured by gnolls , Minsc asks the player to help free her , after which both characters are available to assist the player . Eventually , the player 's party is captured and when Dynaheir is killed by the mage Jon Irenicus , Minsc teams with the player in the pursuit of justice . A berserker , he has a strong desire to uphold good and be heroic , though with an extreme fervor that causes those around him to regard him as possibly insane . His animal companion is a hamster named Boo , with whom he often consults .   Since his introduction , Minsc has been regarded as one of the best and most popular elements of the Baldur 's Gate games because of his demeanor and attachment to Boo , according to reviewers from IGN , GameSpot , and Eurogamer . Other reviewers from publications such as CVG have regarded him as one of the greatest aspects of PC gaming , while game developers have noted a preference for him . The web comic Megatokyo added Boo as a character in their publication , while the protagonist took on aspects of Minsc . His absence from subsequent gaming titles has also been lamented by sources such as UGO.com .

Mr. Mxyzptlk was created to appear in Superman # 30 ( Sept. 1944 ) , in the story `` The Mysterious Mr. Mxyzptlk '' , by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Ira Yarborough . But due to publishing lag time , the character saw print first in the Superman daily comic strip by writer Whitney Ellsworth and artist Wayne Boring .   He is usually presented as a trickster , in the classical mythological sense , in that he possesses reality warping powers with which he enjoys tormenting Superman in a cartoonish way . In most of his appearances in DC Comics , he can be stopped only by tricking him into saying or spelling his own name backwards ( Kltpzyxm - `` kel-tip-zix-um '' ) , which will return him to his home in the 5th dimension and keep him there for a minimum of ninety days . However , this specific limitation of the character has been eliminated since the Crisis on Infinite Earths reboot , upon which the character leaves only when he willingly agrees to do so after meeting some conditions he sets , such as having Superman succeed in getting Mxyzptlk to paint his own face blue .   In 2009 , Mister Mxyzptlk was ranked as IGN 's 76th-Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time .

neg: The Binding of Isaac (video game) The Binding of Isaac is an indie roguelike video game designed by Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl , initially released in 2011 for Microsoft Windows ; the game was later ported for OS X , and Linux operating systems . The game 's title and plot are inspired by the Biblical story of the Binding of Isaac : after Isaac 's mother receives a message from God demanding the life of her son as proof of her faith , Isaac flees into the monster-filled basement of their home , where he must fight to survive . Players control Isaac or one of six other unlockable characters through a procedurally generated dungeon in a roguelike manner , fashioned after those of The Legend of Zelda , defeating monsters in real-time combat while collecting items and power-ups to defeat bosses and eventually Isaac 's mom .   The game was the result of a week-long game jam between McMillen and Himsl to develop a The Legend of Zelda-inspired roguelike that allowed McMillen to showcase his feelings about both positive and negative aspects of religion that he had come to discover from conflicts between his Catholic and born-again Christian family members while growing up . McMillen had considered the title a risk but one he could take after the financial success of Super Meat Boy , and released it without much fanfare to Steam in September 2011 , not expecting many sales . The game soon gained popularity partially as a result of various Let 's Play videos showcasing the title . McMillen and Himsl released an expansion `` Wrath of the Lamb '' in May 2012 , but were limited from further expansion due to limitations with the Flash platform . They had started working with Nintendo in 2012 to release a 3DS version , but Nintendo later backed out of the deal , citing controversy over the game 's religious themes .   Developer Nicalis worked with McMillen in 2014 to complete a remake of the game , The Binding of Isaac : Rebirth , bringing additional features that McMillen had planned that exceeded Flash 's limitation , as well as to improve the game 's graphics and enable ports for other systems beyond personal computers , including PlayStation 4 and Vita , Xbox One , Wii U , Nintendo 3DS , and the Nintendo Switch .   The Binding of Isaac has been well-received , with critics praising the game 's roguelike nature to encourage repeated playthroughs . By July 2014 , McMillen reported over 3 million copies had been sold . The game has been said to contribute to renewed interest in the roguelike genre from both players and developers .

It features recorded tracks from two former Mars Volta drummers , Jon Theodore & Deantoni Parks , fused together as an entirely new song with Omar adding a vocal track . Parts of the 2008 records Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fungus & Minor Cuts and Scrapes in the Bushes Ahead are revisited here from their 2001 sessions prior to the formation of The Mars Volta featured on the first track .
