Okay, Okay!  Fine!  Have it your way!  I downloaded the new version!  Happy now?  :P

Below, is my first attempt at version 0.9.9.2.  A full win on HMP that was one measly stinking monster shy of 100% kills!  :(  Also would've been my first ever conqueror badge (In any version) if not for that one guy who got away.  You get three guesses as to what monster it was that escaped.*

First impressions of the new version:  I like the new rearrangement of sound effects, (I always wondered why the previous version didn't have the "beep" pick-up, lost soul death, or demon biting sound effects) and new selection of music.  (The music for UC is a nice touch)  :)  I didn't find any of those "assemblies" I keep seeing people talk about, but I have some ideas how that works, and I'll probably try to find one next game.  One thing I didn't like was the fact that, whenever I fire a rocket, I see the effect of the explosion before the rocket even leaves the launcher.  It's kind of a weird effect.  I hope that's just a bug that'll be corrected soon, because it's very disconcerting.

Some interesting new items, like the Arena Master Staff.  I made the foolish mistake of getting rid of it after I found the BFG, figuring I wouldn't need it any more.  I don't know if it works in UC, but I was cursing my stupidity at leaving it behind.  (Oh well...)  Lava element was pretty cool too.  Of course, I would've made much better use of it if I had known what it did ahead of time.  (Oh well again...)  And in case anyone's wondering, I didn't find Kornel's secret way into the centre vault.  I just got lucky with a phase device.  (Found a BFG10K in there!  Woot!)  :D

*In case you didn't guess, it was, of course, the Angel of "Lava-walking doesn't work on me any more" Death.  ;)  By the time I had used two med-packs, he was only lightly wounded.  I did a quick calculation based on my four remaining med-packs and almost no armour and realized that I wasn't going to be able to defeat him.  It's too bad; it would have made for a really impressive first game instead of this merely mildly impressive first game.  :)

See?  I told you you'd have much more fun with 0.9.9.2.

And yes, it was a good mortem.

=D

assemblies are mod combos (you don't even need whizkid to try out the basic ones)

I'd hold on to the Arena Master Staff, it has MANY uses (former hordes, city of skulls if it still exists, clearing some spoily things)

As far as AoD's diamond goes, everyone forgets that finesse now works for melee weapons.
