Also, it gives you a great orgasm!

Game Hunter:
So glad to see my videos are helping people out. I honestly have no idea 'cause there are virtually no comments from people on the forums or on the videos themselves. But if you pulled off UV AoMr on your first try, in part because of inspiration? That's...really awesome, thanks.

Actually I wish MORE people had length and detail in their post-mortems. Unless it's something ridiculous like a Diamond, the fun part is reading how the run went, not so much that it happened.

BTW, I'd try to take SoG(4) when you hit clvl12. The firing time you get with the fourth level makes shooting just so ridiculous. SoG(5) is pretty overkill, so I wouldn't hold it against anyone to focus on something else like Iro(5) or HR(3) instead.

Missileboater:
Thank you for all the replies.

Your videos really helped me out. Each video showed me something new that I adapted into my play style. In the past I was honestly way too used to having Intuition rank 2 to hold my hand throughout the entire game. It really gimped me early game because I just wasn't efficient at all with killing enemies, which was why I never got past like level 2 in UV. Only reason I got past some of the middle-tier challenges like my only Angel of 100 run was because getting a very early blaster pretty much destroys all competition when combined with Intuition rank 2. Now that I learned how to use the environment ( enemy sounds and behaviors ) and tricks ( especially gift dropping for early levels ), I can kill much more efficiently with "Max damage" builds instead of going for Intuition rank 2.

I've always been reluctant to ask questions on Youtube, pretty much thinking they'd be ignored. But I guess if something comes to mind I'll go ahead with it.

Now back to the game. About that point in the game ( where I took the extra Hellrunner ), I was starting to think about the fight with the Cyberdemon since I was getting real close. I remembered how accurate the Cyberdemon can be with rockets, and I'm not skilled enough to reliably predict how many extra turns I'd get before an opponent's turn, so I decided on extra dodge instead. However, that was pretty much wasted due to the two invulnerability globes before Phobos Arena. But I'll keep that in mind for next time, if I decide to go for AoMr again.

I do have a question. Were there any of the special levels that I should've done? I was playing really cautiously, skipping what I thought would've been too much. The extra experience might've boosted me a character level or two. I partially completed Hell's Armory, but I wasn't sure if I would've been able to beat the Shambler with its teleport+health regen combo. And with the Hellgate, was there a reliable way of doing it? If I ran back I would've been torn apart by Arch Viles, and if tried to take cover ahead, the other enemies would've blocked my line of fire with the Arch Viles.

Thanks again.

P.S. Currently trying to play through a normal UV game for UAC Gold, and I really miss the knockback the pistols had. Feels really strange without it now.

Umm... what's that?

It means a change in the configuration file that makes you start the game from the front of the base as opposed to the top-most-left corner of the map.
