Haven't played for a couple weeks, thought AoRa would be an interesting challenge.

Video:
http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php?topic=1222.msg14706#msg14706

The dosrecorder video is unfortunately only partial. Around hell 2 or 3, I spawned next to something silly, so I thought I'd take a break for a bit. Forgot to hit the resume button on dosrecorder when I came back though :/ Resumes around lava pits. Damn shame, since those levels were probably the most intense out of the lot, with arch vile groups becoming common.

-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 151 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 112 of those were killed.
 1 of those was killed by something unknown.
 21 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 7 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 10 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 9 killed the bastard and survived.

--------------------------------------------------------------

AoRa was a real mind bender for me, since I'm used to taking things very slowly, cautiously, killing every moving exp chunk and saving powerups for later where appropriate. AoRa forces you to rush, leaving parts of the level undiscovered, and use powerups when you find them, except if they're next to the exit stairs. It's a real ball breaker to see a damage mod just a little too far away to both retrieve it and make it down the stairs in time. In this particular run, I managed to clear Hell's Arena, but didn't have enough time to pick up the rocket launcher, which was basically the point in doing it in the first place. Managed to pick up a random rocket launcher later though for The Wall.

This particular run was fairly lucky. By the end I had 3x Durability modded red armors, and a gothic armor. Spotted 2 advanced chainguns. 2 closely spaced invul globes on level 24. No particularly good uniques though: never used gothic armor; phase boots are ok but got them very late-game.

I chose H instead of UV because I am lazy. UV has an accuracy improvement to enemy projectiles, meaning my lazy "fire from the edge of their field of view" method of projectile avoidance stops working at UV. My general laziness also results in many mistakes, so don't take the video too seriously.

Hm that's about it I guess? Probably won't be doing any more games until the new version is out.

"Killed by something unknown"?

Far as I can tell, that just means something blew up a barrel next to him and the monster who did it was beyond his sight range, or something like that.
