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

 Before him 187 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 147 of those were killed.
 5 of those were killed by something unknown.
 4 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 16 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 15 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 13 killed the bastard and survived.
 1 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

I was gunning for Cateye but dropped that when I found a blaster hiding in a corner of some early-ish maze level and started picking up SoG instead, and it worked surprisingly well for the most part with only one gun. There were a couple tight spots here and there, but [remembering to use] the BFG pulled me through. The toughest was taking on the Unholy Cathedral with only a combat knife, followed immediately by an arachnotron cave where I only had one large and one small medpack, and an arachnotron was camping out by a large medpack that I couldn't afford to blow up.

After that, it was pretty smooth sailing until level 12, where I still had only the one blaster and there hadn't been any former humans for a while. I had to choose: do I face the Cyberdemon with just one pistol (and plenty of explosives), or do I hope a former human shows up in the Mortuary? Obviously, the Mortuary! I don't care about Angelic Armor or anything, I just want my starting weapon back!

I remembered the lessons I'd learned from the last time I took on the Mortuary, also on Angel of Haste. The main lesson was "don't go in if you don't have a BFG," so I made sure to blast shit to pieces as soon as I saw anything move. Running off to get the Nuclear BFG 9000 helped a little bit too, but my trusty blaster really held its own. With a firing speed of .24 seconds and +4 damage, I was knocking back arch-viles with every hit and killing barons before they had a chance to get off a second shot. And yes, I did manage to get that pistol I was looking for. In fact, I was so flush from my victory that when I faced the Cyberdemon, I completely forgot about my fully charged BFGs and just shot him with pistols a bunch. Whoops.

Pistols can be unbelievably powerful.

Nice win with pistols!

Pistols are powerful, but only if you don't have to spend that 1.20s reloading them -- totally negates your really high speed firing from all the SoG.

Taking the Cyberdemon down with pistols, great stuff! The Angelic armor looks pretty sturdy though, those hits you can't dodge are killers sometimes.
