So, inspired by Xtremekiwi's example, I decided to play an Angel of Shotgunnery game and see if I could get Conqueror badge with Army of the Dead build.  I had to give up on getting Conqueror because I only found a single phase device leading up to the Wall, so I wasn't equipped to deal with that level and I just gave up trying to clear out special levels after that.  (I still got Explorer, though)

Part 1 - Phobos, featuring Hell's Arena, Chained Court, Phobos Lab, and Phobos Anomaly

Part 2 - Deimos, featuring Hell's Armory, The Wall, Abyssal Plains, Halls of Carnage, and Tower of Babel

Part 3 - Hell, featuring Unholy Cathedral, The Vaults, The Mortuary, Mount Erebus, Dis, and Hell's Fortress

Unfortunately, I died at the end due to stupidity on my part, failing to use a med pack when I should have.  (And I made a rather unholy-sounding gasping noise when I realized I was dead)  :P  Looking at the mortem, I see that all four of the Revenants in my view fired and hit me simultaneously!  (Bringing me from 43% health down to 0% instantly)  That was really unlucky timing.  :|  Fortunately, the game still gave me credit for all the Shottyman badges, so I'll call that a win.  :)

Is anyone still watching my videos?  Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should do for my next one?

 58 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 52 of those were killed.
 And 2 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 4 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
 2 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 1 killed the bitch and survived.
 1 showed that it can outsmart Hell itself.

I'm watching on and off!  But it's been a while...

No suggestions yet.  Maybe a low-XP run on AoHu?

Hey, glad to be an inspiration :)
Sadly, as I am fully used to the Graphic version of the game, I am a little iffy on watching. Still, I'd watch it if I had time.
Suggestions for videos...I honestly have no idea.

Sucks that you died at the very end like that. My mistake was running out of ammo, something that is more or less my fault. Yours was, by the looks of it, just bad luck the way it ended.

There was a bit of bad luck, yes, but it was still completely avoidable.  I re-watched the ending and after I took out the last Baron, that was a good time to use a small med pack, before the Revenants showed up, but then JC teleported right next to me and he was mortally wounded and I had a power-modded (armour-piercing) double shotgun out and I couldn't resist shooting him instead.  I was trying to rush the ending and take him out quickly, rather than taking that extra second to heal, which would have been a better idea.  It looks like there were a few explosions that knocked me around a bit and that allowed other Revenants to hit me and that was bad luck, but if I had healed up, I would have survived it.  (It didn't help that, without Finesse trait, I took a full second to fire, which probably gave them (relatively) extra time to return fire compared to the tech-modded Combat Shotgun I had been using up 'til that point)

As for your game, I wouldn't exactly say it's completely your fault.  I know from experience that it's really easy to run out of ammo with Shottyhead; you can't get SoB, so you're doing less damage and you're firing so fast, that everyone quickly gets pushed away from you so you're doing even less damage.  You might want to give Army of the Dead a try; armour-piercing shells takes away the shotgun's biggest drawback and it doesn't block SoB, so you can do absolutely devestating amounts of damage.  You do have to be careful about your speed, though, since it blocks Finesse and Hellrunner.  It dishes out the pain, but it does it slowly.  :)

Sadly, as I am fully used to the Graphic version of the game, I am a little iffy on watching.

Maybe just watch the last few minutes of the third video for the demonic screeching sound I made.  :P  I can't help laughing at myself; I don't think I could recreate that noise if my life depended on it.  :D

No suggestions yet.  Maybe a low-XP run on AoHu?

Bleah, I'll consider it...  I've made 69 videos of N! ArchAoHu, all of which I died in.  I was kind of hoping to do something different.  Maybe Everyman Diamond?  I don't think I've actually got that one before.  Hmm...
