After a couple more unremarkable wins (including a ITYTD sacrifice ._. ), I finally won AoSh.
I love how easy shotguns are to get off the ground.

-- General ---------------------------------------------------
Before him 39 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
33 of those were killed.
And 3 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.
Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
Is he immortal? 3 souls claim to have killed him...
1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
2 killed the bastard and survived.
--------------------------------------------------------------
A couple of things:
--I kept that shotgun in my inventory in hopes I could make an elephant gun from it. Didn't happen.
--The Shambler is a jackass on this challenge.
--Yay, Cybie's Head.
--In keeping with the above, I've found I prefer the "dodgy" shotgun build over the MAD build. The armor-piercer build is nice, but near-immunity to late-game enemies *coughVilescough* is just too good to pass up. Also, yeah, it trivializes Cybie.
--Also related to the above: I still haven't decided whether I like double shotty with tech or power mod more. Both have their uses.
Up next: I try Angel of Max Carnage, now that I've unlocked it.
