If there's only one Cyberdemon, then it should probably be "the" in all cases, such as in the high score table and your mortem. It might also be incorrect in game, but I couldn't easily check. ;)

Hi, I’m playing 9.8.7 version of DoomRL (1) and I think I found some typos, though I admit my linguistic skills aren’t great (so my apologies if it’s all crap :-) ).
Reloader description:
First line – “The humanity!”. I’m not certain if I’m right on this but it doesn’t make much sense to me. Perhaps something along the lines of “The humility!” or “The humiliation!” was meant? :-S
Demon description:
First line – “You thought pink is cute?”. It seems to me like the tense of that sentence is a bit screwed. Something like “You thought pink was cute?” or “You think pink is cute?” would probably work. I would also suggest dropping the “You” in that sentence to sound more imperative – “Think pink is cute?”.
Arachnotron description:
First line – “Evil almost pure”. It reads to me like a contradiction as pure and evil suggest to me opposing imagery. Maybe “Evil, almost purely so” or “Almost pure evil” would be better. :-)
(1) Argh, sorry to start of with criticisms. The game’s great and has kept me from doing anything important for days. :p So sorry if I come of sounding negative.
DisaffectedBeta:
What was the context for the "humanity" quote? I forget.
Your second idea is correct, the tenses need to match.
The third could easily be changed to "Evil, most pure," (like murder most foul). "Almost pure evil" sounds good (though why not just say "pure evil?" Is the Arachnotron subject to fits of kindness?), but "evil, almost purely so" lacks punch.
Don't worry about criticisms :) Kornel's quite the gentleman. He's made a good game, so I think he doesn't sweat the small stuff and really pays attention to suggestions.

It’s from the reloader trait description. The full thing goes as following “The humanity! My big gun is out of bullets! I can’t believe it!”. As a bit of extra nitpicking maybe “bullets” should be changed to “ammo” as the BFG, plasma rifle and rocket launcher don’t use bullets and I’d say they are pretty big guns ;-).

“Evil, most pure” still reads like a contradiction to me. In my head it makes “Evil, undefiled” plus the comma makes me want to add “3.95, limited addition, get it while in stock” :p. Something along the lines of “saturated” to replace “pure” might do the trick for me but if I’m the only one bothered by this then I guess it’s not necessary.
