I thought text mode didn't have color filters, so wouldn't you have seen a yellow @ even while berserk anyway?  I was kinda hoping to see him in graphics mode.

That would have been quite annoying...  but I still wouldn't do it over again.  :P

"Whichever is higher" seems to be the operative phrase here...  but then I would expect it to be 3 seconds rather than 2 like in my game.  Maybe there's some rounding error or something.

You think I'm neurotic for YAAMing AAo666, then you go and hunt down every last Nightmare demon spawn, *while* the Apostle is chasing you and resurrecting everything, AND without the single greatest advantage of DS MMB, stacking Berserk with MMB resists - after YAAMing AAo666. You are nuts.

Yeah, I feel like I should have recorded it; it was the single most interesting part of this entire run...  (Mind you, the entire run was boring, so the bar was set pretty low)  :P


--- Quote from: Sereg on October 19, 2017, 05:46 ---So, remind me again... exactly which Angelic badges are you still missing? XD

--- End quote ---

Hmm...  Let's see...

UAC Angelic:  I've never even played a damageless game on ITYTD; I definitely don't expect to be able to do it at Nightmare!

Speedrunner Angelic:  4 minutes?  I've made a few attempts and not come remotely close.  Getting less than 15 minutes is tough; I don't know how I can shave 11 more minutes off.  :|

Demonic Angelic:  See UAC Angelic

Marksman Angelic:  This one should be doable; I haven't tried in a while, but I seem to remember making some pretty good attempts a while back.

Eagerness Angelic:  Also should be doable, I think, though quite tough and luck-dependent; I got Quartermaster Angelic, which calls for 80% kills.  90% kills isn't that much more and I have double the time limit.  Respawning enemies will be annoying, though.

Inquisitor Angelic:  Doable, in theory, but the lack of powerups is gonna really suck.  :P

Masochist Angelic:  Basically, I need to do it damageless, but it's a little more relaxed.  :)  Possibly doable, with enough time and patience, but I've never been the greatest at avoiding damage.  (And yeah, you say I must be patient to have just done the ArchAo666 YAAM, but I remind you that I did whine the whole way through)   :P

Pacifist Angelic:  Considering that I'm the inspiration for the existence of this badge, I probably seem like a natural candidate for it, but you have to understand that doing that was hard.  It was very, very hard.  And that was at ITYTD and with the benefit of the stair sense.  Trying to do it at HNTR, which means less powerup duration and less benefit from small med packs and more enemies is quite daunting, to say the least.  And then you factor in the fact that there's no stair sense in ArchAoPc, and I'm just fumbling around, blindly, hoping I find the stairs before someone gets killed and it just becomes really, really unlikely.  This challenge is extremely luck-dependent.  With enough attempts, I might, eventually, have a lucky enough game, but I don't see it happening any time soon.  EDIT:  Also, factor in no weapon usage which means no wall-busting shortcuts.

Everyman Angelic:  This one is still kicking my butt, but I still really want to get it.  I currently have 172 videos on my hard drive of me failing to get this badge, 2 of which where I successfully kill the Cyberdemon.  By the time I get it, probably Jupiter Hell will be out and everyone will forget about this game.  :P


--- Quote from: Sereg on October 19, 2017, 05:46 ---It also raises the question - what if DRL enemies could go Berserk? Maybe we can get VANDAM's N!+ difficulty level going after all, and see how he fares against a Berserking Angel of Death...

ArchAngel of Berserk:  All enemies are permanently berserk!  :D

--- End quote ---

Text mode (also known as console mode) has always had colour filters.  (There's abundant evidence of that in my videos)  When you're berserk, everything is red.  I believe Icy has a screenshot of the graphics version of the Apostle in this thread.  (The one under the phrase "met the Apostle")  Considering that it uses the graphics from the Arch-Vile and Arch-Viles are yellow anyway, I wouldn't expect it to be much different.

Sereg:
I *knew* I wasn't going to like the answer to my question...

And... Berserker isn't on there? You did AoB + AoMs? Good lord.

Yup, here it is!  That was a tough one.  :)
