[Tormuse]

So, lately, I've been alternating between trying to get Destroyer Diamond and trying to get Everyman Diamond, (badges that require a lot of patience on my part) but I guess I don't have as much patience as I used to, because I keep screwing it up.  :(  In this case, I started in a Cacodemon cave and there were too close quarters with not enough cover, even with Dodgemaster.  Nevertheless, I thought this mortem was notable because the Hell Arena Pwnage medal was my 32nd medal and got me Heroic Platinum!  :)

I don't expect to get Heroic Diamond, because the only way I can get all the medals is if I figure out how to wield Dragonslayer and I've kind of given up on that.  I think it's also worth noting that I would have Armorer Diamond already if I had figured out how to wield Dragonslayer because I've found three of everything else and I've encountered DS three times.  Oh well, I guess there are plenty of other Diamond badges for me to try for.  :)

How the BLEEDING HELL do you do Pwnage? Did you get lucky, or is it actually technically possible?

[Tormuse]

Intuition 2 and a loooot of bullets.  :)  I took advantage of N! respawning to stock up and fill my inventory with bullets before going in and I brought 2 chainguns in case I emptied one and didn't have time to reload.  I killed all Cacodemons from outside their vision and by then I hit level 3 and took Hellrunner which made me almost fast enough to outwalk the demons so I could maneuver them into corpse-stacking positions.  Once the Cacodemon bodies are destroyed, it becomes easier, because the demons are much less of a threat.  (Until the Barons show up, of course, which I took out with corner-shooting)

The funny thing is this was actually my second time fulfilling the requirements for this medal, but I didn't actually get it before, because in that game, after completing the Arena, I took too much damage and rage-quit, so it didn't generate a mortem.  This time, I made sure to die, so I would get awarded the medal.  :)
