Not a whole lot to say about this one.  I tried a few AoMr runs that ended really early, so I decided to try a AoSh run.  A little bit before the Hellgate, I had several Cacodemon caves pretty much in a row, which I thought was going to end my game, because they really tore me up.  However, I prevailed, and still kept my 100% kill rate.  Most everything except those caves went fairly well (oh, and the Chained Court once again, though I tried sticking with my shotgun instead of the chainsaw), with the big exception of Hell's Armory.  If I recall, I got MAD in the Armory itself, just as I had hoped. That is why I decided to face the Shambler, though it was still a very tough fight.  The Shambler had a bad habit of teleporting right as he got into good double shotgun range, though I got a few good blasts in.  My power modded shotgun did most of the work though.  I had 2 large and 2 small medpacks, and they were all gone by the time I killed him, and I was at around 50% health.  I had a bit of a panic in the hellgate as I got surrounded by demons, but some arena staff and healing and more arena staff fixed that.  The cacodemons did tear me up slightly, though.  I released the Bruiser Bros and retreated to the door, thinking I was so smart, but shortly into the fight the door and surrounding walls were blown up, so I had to fight 2 on 1.  My elephant gun tore them up really fast though.  At this point, I had several partly torn up armors, red and blue, some modded.

Curiously, I was a little ways into hell before I even found a combat shotgun.  It didn't matter a whole lot since I had my elephant gun after the Armory, but it's pretty odd luck for my first Angel of Shotgunnery.  Not much interesting until I found my Onyx Armor pack, which solved my armor troubles, though I still held on to my power modded red armor just in case.  The Spider's Lair and Vaults went pretty well, using up a few large medkits, but at that point I had plenty and was leaving them on the ground (the only reason I went to the Spider's Lair was to prove that I could beat it after I stupidly got massacred there in an earlier game.  I ended up finding a super shotgun in the vaults, which was cool but unnecessary).  A bit later, I just sort of got bored, so I started using my homing phase devices to just skip the last couple of levels, ruining my perfect kill rate. I probably had enough resources to do YAAM pretty easily (I at least had enough to escape any trouble if I continued the attempt, as I had 3 homing phase devices), but for reasons unknown even to me I just decided that I didn't want to bother.  Maybe I should try a higher difficulty or something...  Anyways, I instantly skipped 22, searched a bit on 23 after warping to the stairs in case I found some invulnerability, and scoured level 24 for any invulnerability, which I didn't find, so I had to settle for a standard win (I probably skipped over the stairs to the lava pits, but I never once saw an envirosuit pack the entire game so it was out of the question).  Thus, I just had to beat the Cyberdemon the old fashioned way, with super shotgun blasts to the face.

I tried dodging from a couple of squares away from the Cyberdemon, but more missiles hit me than missed (I think I forgot to run, which I actually remembered to do for other parts of this game).  I equipped one of my many shell boxes for the fight, but it never got used since I was dancing around and shottyman took care of the reloading.  He fell quickly.

Miscellaneous thoughts: I hate Cacodemons so much.

Next up: I'll probably try a melee build in a standard game.
