I'm in need of some platinum badges to go up in rank, so with this run, I had my sights set on Demonic, Reaper, and Gatekeeper.  2 out of 3 ain't bad.  :)

Notes on this run:

No fancy build or Master traits; I just got whatever trait I felt I needed at any given moment.

My attempt at Gatekeeper Platinum was thwarted, first by the absence of an invulnerability on level 14, and then, by the fact that my microlauncher missed one of the Bruiser Brothers a couple times, forcing me to retreat faster than I intended and they cornered me just before I could kill them.  They only hit me once.  (Grrr!)

I had a stroke of luck in getting the Reaper Platinum:  Two levels before the Mortuary were two invulnerabilities and a berserk which I picked up just before going downstairs, and then the level with the entrance to the Mortuary had *two more* invulnerabilities!  :o  I had enough invulnerability to do a complete lap of the Mortuary and kill all the Arch-Viles and almost all other monsters before it ran out.  I thought, for a moment, that I would be able to get the Angelic Badge too, but I found out the hard way that, due to Nightmare difficulty, the monsters continue to respawn after the Arch-Viles are dead.  This meant that the only way to clear it was to DESTROY EVERY SINGLE CORPSE IN THE MORTUARY!  (Ugh!)  :|  This was really tedious, especially since most of the corpses were away from any walls that I could explode rockets against, so the only way to destroy them was to rocketjump, which, of course, injured me.  Bye bye, Angelic Badge.  :(  I probably should have just nuked it, but I don't know if I get the badge then.

I didn't plan to clear the Unholy Cathedral, but there was an invulnerability and berserk next to the entrance, so I took full advantage of them.  This would have been Longinus Diamond if I hadn't already achieved it.  :)  In fact, with 90% kills, this also would have been Elite Diamond if I hadn't already achieved it!  :o

My god man! Quit chugging the Power Thirst and share it with everyone else. I'm amazed at how you can do this. Of course I'm just a scrub who can't even clear UV but still it's amazing how many grandiose stories you bring to the mortem section.

[Uranium]

You destroyed ALL of the corpses in the Mortuary WHILE THEY WERE RESPAWNING.

a) HOW

b) There really needs to be a rank named after you or a medal named after you.

My god man! Quit chugging the Power Thirst and share it with everyone else. I'm amazed at how you can do this. Of course I'm just a scrub who can't even clear UV but still it's amazing how many grandiose stories you bring to the mortem section.

I just play this game far, far too much.  :)  If it's any consolation, part of the reason I'm able to play this much is that I'm unemployed and I'm using this game to procrastinate from my job search, so I may be succeeding at the game, but I'm kind of failing at life.  :P  Maybe I'll get over my addiction to the game once I hit God Hand rank.  :D

You destroyed ALL of the corpses in the Mortuary WHILE THEY WERE RESPAWNING.

a) HOW

b) There really needs to be a rank named after you or a medal named after you.

a)  A large portion of them were destroyed by a couple of fire skulls that I picked up in the City of Skulls.  (There were three, but I left one behind; if I'd known I had to destroy all the corpses, I would've brought all three)  A whole bunch more were destroyed when I was going on my invulnerability rampage, since Mancubus rockets were flying all over the place.  So, there weren't really a whole lot by the time I got around to my final clean-up, but enough to make it a chore, because I didn't want to be charging around where Mancubi and Arachnotrons were present.  Rockets were plentiful, because there are extra Mancubi in Nightmare difficulty, so I had lots of ammunition to help me clear up bodies.  I took advantage of Intuition 2 to be able to see enemies before they came into visual range and I used my nuclear plasma rifle that I picked up in the Spider's Lair to pick them off from a distance.  I had Son of a Bitch level 4 by then, so I was doing enough damage to bring them down with a few rounds each.  Also, I had power-modded red armour to lessen the damage I took from my explosions from detonating rockets next to myself to destroy the bodies.  It took a while, but I did it.  I'm not really keen on doing it again to get Reaper Diamond, though.  :P

b)  I have mixed feelings about that...  On the one hand, I love this game and it would be a huge honour to have something named after me, but on the other hand, I can't shake the feeling that it would also be a lasting testament to my inability to set priorities in my life.  :P  Still...  If Kornel wants to name something after me, I have no objection.  :)

[Thexare]

Took me nine months of walking all over the town two to five days every week to find a crappy job at a Dollar General.

So, y'know. Should probably focus on that first, and play DoomRL after you're done for the day.

But on the other hand, if you're gonna do something, you may as well be good at it!

[Tormuse]

Oh, I agree.  Finding work should definitely be my top priority.  It's mostly out of a sense of depression and discouragement about the way things are going in my life that I'm turning to this game, since it's the only thing I seem to be good at lately.  (Now, if only I could get paid to win Diamond Badges!)  ;)
