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

 Before him 596 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 529 of those were killed.
 2 of those were killed by something unknown.
 15 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 30 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 20 souls claim to have killed him...
 3 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 14 killed the bastard and survived.
 3 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

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

Goal: Complete the HNTR+ in under 25 minutes badge.  I didn't have the under 30 minutes badge, so that was also in the plan.

Background: I'm no newbie, I felt confident...so confident I made many stupid deaths in previous attempts.  Well like all the others, this one was filled with promise.  Additionally, I'm always looking to discover those assemblies (on my own of course), so I went whizkid build, and just threw mods on my stuff every chance I could.

What happened: Two assault shotguns?  YEAH!  It was useful in my speedrunning.  I almost always took the stairs down immediately when I could, which even included mortuary.  In that case, I used two phases andgot to the corner, where I got that thar nuclear BFG.

Cybie: This is where the run was interesting.  I had about five large meds, and limited rockets...and to top it off, I could feel it, the timer was ticking down on me.  I started out with rockets, and got a rhythm down.  Naturally I didn't evade pain every time, I didn't hit every time, and I made many stupid mistakes, but I got my hits in.  Next I fired that nuclear BFG, then got behind a pillar.  The 3x3 pillar was between me and Cybie, and he was doing that thing where he sits on the other side, so I paced back and forth to charge the BFG, then gave him another shot.  I was down to my last hit (as you see there), and it came down to blind shooting with my main assault shotty.  The relief when I saw his explosion was great.  The timer sitting at just below a minute to expiration filled me with that sense of accomplishment.  Not one of the harder badges, but a unique one that I finally earned.

Why didn't you use the nuke? It would have saved you the time you spent fighting Cybie.

I hate using the nuke for a suicide-win.  If I had an invulnerability globe, I'd be all over it, but I wanted to go big on this one, even if it nearly caused me to fail in two different ways (and what a rush it was!)
