I went for the BFG first instead of the medpack, as a result I lost my near guaranteed YAAM/MAD/Berserker Conqueror run. maybe if I grabbed those fire skulls that dropped from the Agony Elemental I could have facerolled limbo....nope.

You wear/wield : a nuclear plasma rifle (1d7)x6 [0/24] You are hit! You are
 hit! You are hit!
 Your weapon is empty.
 You wear/wield : a high power BFG 9000 (12d6) [25/65]
 You reload the high power BFG 9000.

This has probably been the problem right here, regardless of medpacks: the BFG takes 2 full seconds to reload. Unless you're absolutely sure you're safe, just don't. Looking at your inventory, I'd say the Spear would have been your best bet here.

Regardless: the solid advice I can give you is that at this point: You wear/wield : a nuclear plasma rifle (1d7)x6 [0/24] You are hit! You are
 hit! You are hit!
ie, when wielding an empty weapon and getting shot at, best thing you can do is take a deep breath and consider your options before you proceed.

Several DoomGuys have lost their lives due to a momentary lapse in judgement or attention. This was one of those times. I'll probably try another run tomorrow.

Yeah, we've all been there/done that...

My favorite one so far is looking outside my window forgetting I had the left arrow held down in the chained court. Went for a swim in the lava.

I considered using the spear as a melee weapon against the archviles but I didn't have the guts to do it so I just used it to gib corpses. Also I made the mistake of pulling both sides of lever at once when it would have been better to clear one side at a time.

[White Rider]

I don't know how much fire skulls would have helped you at Limbo. It definitely would have melted a majority of the corpses, but I think you'd still have some opposition to deal with, like viles. And whatever the viles revive.
My experience with Limbo is that, the easiest way is to simply knock things into lava. Shotgun, rocket launcher, pistols with SoG 3+, whatever. But you still need some way to deal with fliers and viles, because they're not affected by damage tiles.

I do that too, though--if Agony Elemental drops fire skulls I don't pick those up. Well, I pick it up to have it count to my list of collected special items, and then I drop it immediately after and move on.
