Rather than having a mega-thread for these playthrough videos, I will be posting them on a per-run basis along with the mortem. Feel free to discuss anything at all about the run: questions, criticisms, the normal stuff. I'm not necessarily going to have walls of text here because the videos tend to speak for themselves (if you're willing to spend the time to watch 'em). This is mostly post-video comments, and I plan to post every mortem for my video runs, whether awesome or bad.
Beating Unholy Cathedral in the way I did was probably the best part of the run, even if it was through sheer luck that it became possible. I really don't mind, just score one for the Longinus Diamond possibilities.
What really killed me here, stupid mistake at the end aside, was how very unprepared I was for the changes in special level strategies due to the new AI. Spider's Lair, Vaults, and especially Mortuary all hammered me in unexpected ways and forced me to blow a lot of my stockpiles. (Well, that and missing the Armory. Armory is just so good and can be a game-changer if you're even a bit lucky.)
