Item combos I'm curious about
There's a few combinations of items that I'm wondering about, and since I haven't encountered them yet, I figure my best shot of finding out their effects is by asking here, as someone may have seen or gotten them themselves.

1 - Dr. Fetus + Sad Bombs. I'm speculating that what happens is either bombs you shoot aren't affected by Sad Bombs, or they fire off whatever tears you'd normally be firing if not for Dr. Fetus. Because Dr. Fetus is a shot effect though, there's a possibility that your shot bombs will fire bombs themselves, and you'd be left with a single shot eventually flooding the entire room with bombs, making it impossible to survive if you don't have Pyromaniac. *shrug*

2 - Mom's Purse + (Wiggle/Hook/Ring Worm) + (Wiggle/Hook/Ring Worm). Do both of the trinkets' trajectories come into effect, or does on override others? I'm ignoring Pulse, Flat, and Whip Worm for this, since they don't affect the trajectory so much as tear shape or speed.

3 - Technology 2 + Ludovico Technique. I know what it does - fires a laser at the tear instead of in the direction Isaac is facing - but does this happen constantly, or only when you're moving his tear around?

Also, I thought I'd include an interesting effect I found: Anti-Gravity + Hook Worm. For whatever reason, when you release, some of the shots will travel up and down from the direction you were facing when you fired them as opposed to all of them straight forward, It creates a very interesting spread effect. However, if you simply hold the fire button long enough for them to fire on their own, they'll just go the direction they normally would have. I do wonder if a similar effect might occur with Wiggle Worm or Ring Worm, though... I'm guessing that Wiggle would shoot the released tears in a fan spread while Ring would fire them in all directions with more concentrated forward than the rest?

Monstro's Lung + Ipecac is one of the best, along with Brimstone + Antgravity tears + Dark Magnet

I just had that in my last run.
Every room lasts 1second max, seriously it's unbelievable ! You start : space (or LT) and BAM ! it's over.
Isaac killed in 2 seconds, just the time to finish him with a "normal" beam.

I had number one with that but I don't know if power is increased or not.

Did no one notice what the OP was asking about?

Yep I noticed but the only thing I can say about that is :
I had Ludovico Technique + Ring Worm and it was awful because you have more chance to circle ennemies than hit them.

So I think that Anti-Gravity + Ring Worm release all the shot with the spiral effect (with the initial direction).

1 - I haven't got the chance to try this combo yet, but if it works together I'd be very sure of the fact that your initial bomb will only spawn one burst of 8 bombs, not more. Now ... combining this with crickets body and/or parasite on the other hand ... will likely create a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of explosions.

2 - No clue about this one sadly. I'd imagine those three overriding each other, depending on which one has higher priority.

3. - Any laser, just like Brimstone, will form a ring when combined with Ludovico, so you'll get a thin ring you get to roll around the room ... this looks quite amusing when combined with spoon bender.

Well, why don't you answer some of those then, instead of merely pointing out how others failed to properly address the original post?
