[U|AoMC|98%|13|YASD] There's no such thing as 'just one more level'

But think about it this way -- cells are plentiful the higher the level of difficulty you play, because of increased Arachnotrons and Former Commandos. And using that plasma rifle means you kill them faster, therefore improving survivability.

Well, I wasn't faring too bad with it in this particular run. Granted, it would have probably saved my life in the encounter with the commando, but so would thinking before pressing the f-key twice have. I'm currently doing another run - saved on the stairs into level 18, so that's going a lot better already - leaning on Maizure: plasma rifle + chaingun and masterless. Although I still have quite some stacks of ammo left, I still feel like I'm going to run out too soon - mainly because I've already been fresh outta bullets once, on the Abyssal Plains. Oh well, will see.

Re: Cacodemon surrounds on the stairs. I make a point to always wear my best armour (often a P-mod red) when going down stairs, and arming the rocket launcher and a rocket box.
Most situations can be quickly cleared up with a rocket launcher that reloads quickly. Those that can't can be rocket-jumped away from. It's also worth remembering that rocket jumping makes you take *massively* reduced damage from your rocket explosion, but still does significant damage and knockback to monsters around you (and it also never misses, because it targets the ground next to you). Frequently, I'll descend adjecent to a pack of 3 viles and 4 revenants or some other such nightmare, and in a single turn I've cleared myself of them, half-killed them all, and taken down all the formers and imps surrounding them!

If you mean mine, well, so am I (:
I'll have time to finish my current run tomorrow evening, and I've been looking forward to it for a day and half already. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning.
