-- General ---------------------------------------------------
Before him 86 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
64 of those were killed.
13 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
And 1 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.
Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
Is he immortal? 8 souls claim to have killed him...
1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
7 killed the bastard and survived.

Unfortunately I was so excited at the possibility of seeing JC for the first time I didn't think it through.
I ended up in the mortuary and ran straight to the Nuclear BFG...
Got to the final floor before the Cyberdemon and there was an invulnerability globe within sight of arriving, but it was a maze of rooms, and so not thinking I nuked it so I could find my way to the exit quicker.
It was only after activating the nuke on Cybie that I realised I'd have no way to beat JC. So I ran around him till he ran out of rockets, ran around him some more and realised he wasn't going to spawn any Barons I could use to kill him, so gave up and let him punch me in the face. Glad it counted as a standard win, even if I didn't get the platinum badge as a result.
