This game's difficulty is a bit off in places IMO
Cheesybox:
For example, Angel of Pacifism. I've gotten to level 12 or 13 on that. I understand that they're supposed to be a challenge mode or whatever, but some of them aren't even possible. Like there is no way you can beat AoPc or AoH on anything higher than HMP without save scumming or breaking the game in some fashion. I like a good challenge but I don't like trying to turn a concrete building into gravel with my forehead.
On a different note, finally figured out how to get the Dragonslayer thanks to the good folks on the Something Awful forums (eat that stupid Dragonslayer/Berserker Armor "club") and of course I was doing a AoPc run.

Who wants to point him to some AoH N! runs? I think there's one or two lying about...
Cheesybox:
Oh dude I totally want that. I hate how all my blood is inside my head right now.
But in all seriousness, some of these things make me want to go back to ranked LoL

Oooh... Them's fightin' words! I'm tempted to do a Nightmare AoHu run just to spite you! :P

For the record, I've won AoPc on Nightmare!
...twice!

Before him 230 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
202 of those were killed.
14 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
And 6 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.
Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
Is he immortal? 8 souls claim to have killed him...
2 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
5 killed the bastard and survived.
1 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

(I don't know if the last one counts; I was dumb and used the nuke while invulnerable and then was unable to do anything to JC)
It takes a lot of patience and skill and luck, but AoPc is definitely doable at higher difficulty levels. Anyway, I think it's good to have something seemingly too hard to do so you always have something to aim for. I've never succeeded at AoHu Nightmare, but maybe I will one day...

Hell, *I* have won AoPc on Nightmare. That's one of the easiest diamond badges (and to date my only one).
