So, my previous Nightmare Angel of 100 run ran into ammo shortages, so I thought, "Why don't I try a melee run of Angel of 100?"  So I did!  :D

The further I got, the more amazed I was at my luck!  I successfully got Vampyre ability and cackled with maniacal glee when I was able to assemble a chainsword.  The second-last level I got to had 3 berserk packs in close proximity to each other and I was looking forward to some good, wholesome, vampiric fun, seeing how long I could keep the berserk going...

Alas, I got a little carried away and charged a group of arachnotrons in a hellish cave in a situation that I should have shown a little more discretion.  :(  I was careless and overestimated the armour benefit from 'zerking.  Oh well, lesson learned...

(Incidentally, that power-up just north of the exit was yet another berserk!)

0.9.9.2 / [U|99%|19|YASD] Azrael's Scythe? Cool!
« on: March 11, 2011, 19:45 »
A failed attempt at Elite Platinum, and my first time finding Azrael's Scythe.  It tempted me to turn this into a berserker game from how much ass I was kicking with it, but the game wouldn't let me get Vampyre, probably because I took a level in Eagle Eye early on.  I guess the Master trait blocking works both ways.

A curious thing I noticed was that the first level after I found the scythe, the enemies took longer to awaken...  a *lot* longer.  I ran around half the level, still berserk, cutting up monsters without them firing, moving or otherwise reacting to me and around the time the berserk ran out, is when they woke up.  Maybe it's just some bizarre coincidence, but it makes me wonder...  I know that Azrael's Scythe isn't fully documented on the Wiki; could this be some unknown feature of it that needs to be investigated?

In the end, I died in The Vaults, partly due to my unwillingness to fire rockets for fear of destroying the "something really valuable" there.  I found out at the last minute that it was Necroarmor, (my favourite armour, darn it!) so I needn't have worried, since it's indestructible, but what really killed me was my own greed...  I had just decided to destroy the Revenant bodies so that the Arch-Viles couldn't regenerate them, but I foolishly decided to pick up the rockets they dropped first.  I knew the last Archie was some distance away, but I didn't realize there was another Revenant around the corner.  If I hadn't needlessly exposed myself going out there to get the rockets, I would've survived.  I had almost 30 rockets; there really was no need!  *sigh*

0.9.9.2 / [U|AoH|91%|8|YASD] nanofibre cybernetic armour
« on: March 07, 2011, 11:29 »
This was a game where I seemed sure to win right up to the second that I died very abruptly and unexpectedly.  :(  At 48% health with level 3 TaN, I was reasonably confident that I could survive an unexpected barrage, especially since I was lucky enough to find Cybernetic armour accompanied by the components for nanofibre armour in the armoury!  It slowed me down to 1.55 seconds per move, but basically turned me into a walking fortress.

I never saw the mancubus that killed me, nor the napalm barrel that apparently went off, plunging me into lava.  I literally went from having no sign of danger one move to dead the next.

So, now I have a dilemma, because I made a back-up of the saved game just after I got the nanofibre cybernetic armour.  (for posterity)  Normally, I don't like save-scumming, but I feel, at least partially, justified in restoring that game, since it would have been my first ever runner gold badge and I feel like there was more unreasonable unfairness than usual in my death this time.

What do you guys think?  How much is it frowned upon in this community to restore games like this?

0.9.9.2 / [U|AoSh|91%|26|YASD] I'm an idiot. :P
« on: March 05, 2011, 17:09 »
I went into this game with some goals in mind:  Get Shottyman gold and silver and maybe, if I could, get veteran platinum.  The game was going very well;  I had an assault shotty, and for a while, a super shotty, which I later replaced with the Jackhammer.

Unfortunately, I ran into ammo shortages toward the end and I was forced to skip the lava pits, so I figured that I'd just nuke cybie for a partial win.  Then when I found an invulnerability on level 24, I got overly greedy and tried for the full win even though I only had a handful of shells left.  I should have known I didn't have enough ammo.  I should have just nuked JC.  I wouldn't have gotten the platinum, but I could at least have achieved the shottyman badges.  As it is, that's over three hours of gameplay for nothing, because I didn't get any badges.  :(  Just stupidity on my part, I guess...

Nightmare! / [N|AoB|44%|YAVP] Yay! Berserker Diamond! :D
« on: March 05, 2011, 11:14 »
So, somebody gave me good advice for completing AoB Nightmare and it worked!  :D  Apparently, I was just way too bloodthirsty in my previous games.  :P  I did stop to kill the nightmare creatures at hellgate, though.  I was invulnerable, so it was a good opportunity for valuable experience toward getting Vampyre.

The tensest of tense moments occurred on level 24, though, when I found myself in a hellish cave populated by arachnotrons and my berserk ran out!  :o  I was down to my last med-pack (a small one) and I hadn't even found the exit, and I thought I was about to lose after all, but then the RNG said, "Ha ha ha!  Just joking, you can win now." And I spotted the exit with (and I swear to the RNG it's true) a berserk pack next to it!  I could almost picture a little sign hanging on it saying:

"Dear Tormuse,

Use this to kill the Cyberdemon,

sincerely,
Random Number God."

I doubt that I would've won without that pack.  Praise be to the RNG!  :D

0.9.9.2 / [M|AoB|96%|YAFW] My first "real" Longinus badge :)
« on: March 05, 2011, 01:13 »
After trying (and failing) about a hundred times to do AoB on Nightmare, I thought I'd try an easier difficulty just for a change of pace, and whaddya know?  I got it on my first try.  :)

This mortem marks the first time I've ever beaten the AoD fairly, without lava-walking.  (Hence the thread title)  :P  Since I was berserk at the time, (from fighting the demons) I didn't even need to use a single med-pack!

Would have been YAAM and a brick silver too if my phase devices had cooperated and put me on the correct side of the wall.  (Oh well...)  At least I was able to send JC off with a bang!  :D

Nightmare! / [N!|AoB|51%|6|YASSSD] Arena Diamond Badge!!!!!
« on: March 01, 2011, 22:02 »
You see those stairs next to my corpse on the map below?  That was the entrance to the freakin' Chained Court!  AAARRRGH!  Sooo  freakin' close!  :(  The extra "S's" in the thread title stand for "Stupid Stupid Stupid!"  :P  Could've been a really sweet berserker diamond too otherwise.

(Oh well)

Anyway, I had a phenomenally lucky build-up to Hell's Arena.  Picture this:  On level 2, there were three vaults, two full of demons and the other full of cacodemons and four berserk packs!  I brought myself up to character level 4 just from those vaults and got my marine pimped out with some nice gear.  I entered the arena still berserk and carrying three blue armours and 4 large med-packs.  My strategy in the arena:  Each time I killed a cacodemon, I would stand over its corpse so that the next cacodemon that shot at me would destroy the body, so it couldn't regenerate.  Taking advantage of the extra armour from zerking, I cleared the arena of demons and cacodemons this way.  Things got tense when facing the barons because my berserk ran out and didn't come back, but I had juuuuust enough med-packs and armour to survive it.  Even with the crazy armanents I went in with, I came out with 44% health, all my med-packs gone, and one suit of blue armour left at 4%.

Nightmare! / [N!|Ao100|81%|12|YASD] The number 1 killer
« on: March 01, 2011, 03:06 »
I swear...  my number one cause of death in this game is being too conservative with my med-packs.  If I had just been willing to use my last med-pack, I probably would've been fine.  *sigh*

Due to a lucky find of a plasma shotgun, I thought I might make an attempt at a shottyman Ao100 game.  As you can see, I had no shortage of ammo for it.  :)  It could've been a very interesting game.  I also found a laser rifle which I modded to high-power status with which I was kicking some serious ass!

Unfortunately, on level 12, I encountered a mancubus that was between me and the exit and the geography of the level prevented me from comfortably pelting it from a distance or using cover adequately.  A frustrating end to a very promising game.  :(

0.9.9.2 / [U|aoMr|YAFW/YAAM] A bunch of badges and a silly ending
« on: February 24, 2011, 23:06 »
My first time playing as an Ultraviolent Marksman that I felt confident enough to go for Gun Kata.  Usually, at this difficulty level, if I use up my upgrade points on Hellrunner and Dodgemaster instead of Ironman and Tough as Nails, I end up dying.

After my last bad experience with the lava elemental, I just nuked him this time.  :P  Actually, I nuked the level first, and then, after the elemental generated, I Angel Armed the place, courtesy of the Trigun I found.  It destroyed the lava element prize, but luckily, there was an invulnerability globe on level 24, so I was still able to get my full win.

Once I got to level 26, I was in a silly mood and just decided to have some fun taking pot shots at Barons.  I had about 700 bullets and 5 large med-packs and I wanted to see which one I ran out of first.  (Turned out to be med-packs, but just barely)  Each Baron took three rounds from my dual wielded Trigun and high-power pistol combo which was firing at 0.29 seconds per dualshot.  So, I was firing faster than they could react, and insta-reloading after each one.  When I decided I'd had enough, I just Angel Armed the place.  :)  Curiously, it gave me Veteran gold, but not Veteran platinum; I guess you have to be alive for it to be considered a full win.  :P

0.9.9.2 / [U|AoSh|98%|24|YASD] Damn lava elemental! :(
« on: February 24, 2011, 02:30 »
Assault shotgun on level 2?  Yes please!  :)  That was my lucky find this game, a godsend in any Angel of Shotgunnery game.  I also must confess to emitting an evil laugh when I found the jackhammer.  :D

By level 23, I was in good shape, with over 200 shells and three large med-packs and confident enough to take on the lava pits.  My strategy against the lava elemental probably would've been different if I had realized that he REGENERATES HIS HITPOINTS!  :o  Well, 100 shells, all my armour, all my med-packs, all my envirosuits and all of my plasteel boots later, I got him down to severely wounded and was forced to retreat back to the stairs because I was down to 15% health.  He must have more hitpoints at Ultraviolence, because I never had this much trouble defeating him before.  :(

Would've made a nice YAFW/YAAM otherwise.

0.9.9.2 / [U|AoMr|98%|14|YASD] Wait, what? I died?!?
« on: February 20, 2011, 23:56 »
Damn it!  This one was going so well!  :(

I overcame Hell Arena and the Arena Master, encountered my first Shambler and discovered my first assembly and was dual-wielding two high-power pistols.  I was well on my way to getting a YAAM on Ultraviolence; I never expected to die here.  :(

The last thing I did was dual-reload my guns.  A risky move when there was a baron and two mancubi bearing down on me, but the baron was between me and them, so I figured he'd take the brunt of the mancubus rockets.  (Which he did, heheh)  :)  I had power modded red armour on at 100%, level 3 TaN, and nearly 100% health, not to mention reloader skill, so I was sure I'd survive it.  I don't know how they did so much damage in less than 2 seconds' game time.  :|

Losing because of a careless error is one thing, but I was so sure I was being careful here!  (At least I added a couple of badges, though)

This game had a lot of promise until the RNG decided to make me his bitch and plunked me into everyone's favourite situation:  Hellish cave populated with Arachnotrons with no cover.  :(

Managed to beat the arena and the Arena Master, though.  Curiously, it lists him as being defeated 7 times even though I only killed him once.

0.9.9.2 / [E|YAAM] Sunrise Iron Fist
« on: February 19, 2011, 01:34 »
Not much to say here except that I wanted to play a totally weaponless game.  (Except for a "shockwave pack" I found that I put to very effective use against the lava elemental)  I had a nuke which I could've used to get a full win, but then I most likely wouldn't have gotten YAAM.

I got the Malek's armour exactly too late for it to be of any use; my first punch against the cyberdemon made me berserk and he fell pretty quickly after that.

Okay, Okay!  Fine!  Have it your way!  I downloaded the new version!  Happy now?  :P

Below, is my first attempt at version 0.9.9.2.  A full win on HMP that was one measly stinking monster shy of 100% kills!  :(  Also would've been my first ever conqueror badge (In any version) if not for that one guy who got away.  You get three guesses as to what monster it was that escaped.*

First impressions of the new version:  I like the new rearrangement of sound effects, (I always wondered why the previous version didn't have the "beep" pick-up, lost soul death, or demon biting sound effects) and new selection of music.  (The music for UC is a nice touch)  :)  I didn't find any of those "assemblies" I keep seeing people talk about, but I have some ideas how that works, and I'll probably try to find one next game.  One thing I didn't like was the fact that, whenever I fire a rocket, I see the effect of the explosion before the rocket even leaves the launcher.  It's kind of a weird effect.  I hope that's just a bug that'll be corrected soon, because it's very disconcerting.

Some interesting new items, like the Arena Master Staff.  I made the foolish mistake of getting rid of it after I found the BFG, figuring I wouldn't need it any more.  I don't know if it works in UC, but I was cursing my stupidity at leaving it behind.  (Oh well...)  Lava element was pretty cool too.  Of course, I would've made much better use of it if I had known what it did ahead of time.  (Oh well again...)  And in case anyone's wondering, I didn't find Kornel's secret way into the centre vault.  I just got lucky with a phase device.  (Found a BFG10K in there!  Woot!)  :D

*In case you didn't guess, it was, of course, the Angel of "Lava-walking doesn't work on me any more" Death.  ;)  By the time I had used two med-packs, he was only lightly wounded.  I did a quick calculation based on my four remaining med-packs and almost no armour and realized that I wasn't going to be able to defeat him.  It's too bad; it would have made for a really impressive first game instead of this merely mildly impressive first game.  :)

Nightmare! / [N!|AoSh|78%|25|YASD] Sooooo close!
« on: February 16, 2011, 09:28 »
Yeah, you could say I'm addicted to this game.  I may even play the latest version at some point.  :)

I was aiming for Shottyman Diamond, but, not only did I die, (with Cybie "severely wounded" no less) but I only had 78% kills anyway!  (oops!)  By my calculations, I needed to have killed 25 more enemies.  I might have made it if that damn Arch-Vile hadn't destroyed the invulnerability I was standing on on level 24, forcing me to retreat without killing anyone.  Oh well...

And yes, I took on UC.  I happened to pick up an invulnerability just before and I figured, "Why not?"  I only used one med-pack and one phase device and some lava-walking.  Would've been a Longinus diamond badge if I hadn't already earned it.  ;)
