Hi everyone!

I kinda disappeared after the new year, at first overwhelmed by having to go to work again everyday, later sort of putting off my return for the sake of putting it off... Big thanks to LuckyDee for poking me a bit and making me break the cycle.

Anyway, I played my first game in 997 (not counting beta) and the first game this year. Luckily, it didn't turn out to be the disaster I was worried about and I got a new platinum badge out of it, so that's something.

For AoP, I decided to play it safe and get Int2 cateye build. I saw the Deimos lab for the first time (in the beta RNG never allowed me to try it) and it was quite fun. The shamblers didn't stand a chance against me and I got two nano mods out of it. For some reason I decided to make a powered blue armour, a first for me, but it felt pretty good. Between cateye and int2, I didn't really need passive defence that much, but I felt safer. Plus at least I didn't have to worry about armour since then.

The second nano mod was obviously meant for gravity boots, so I carried it with me for several levels, when I suddenly realized that A) nano-modded missile launcher is awesome, and B) Cateye is in fact a rocket launcher build, not pistol build as some people keep insisting. I see people on the forums often writing how infinite rockets are great and all, but you blow up all your loot. Guess what? If you have a nano modded missile launcher, you don't need any loot! Just demolish everything. The only enemies that can stand to that are lost souls, but I just punched them if they got too annoying.

The Containment area caught me a little by surprise - I realized that it is a remake of The Wall, so I busted through, found the backpack and screamed in terror as barons spawned all around me. I was running a little low on ammo at that point, but luckily I had a homing phase and a rocket box, so I just killed everything with fire and that eventually gave me the idea to slap the nano mod on my missile launcher. When everything died, I finally got to pick up the backpack and... impure! Damn, forgot about this being AoP =(

I used an onyx mod to make lava boots since I was missing that assembly (same with the VGFB9000 which I didn't fire once), though I remembered it from 995, and they turned out to be extremely useful in both Limbo and the Lava Lits. The Pits especially were a breeze with unlimited rockets, cateye vision, and immunity to lava.

In the end I decided not to tempt face and confront JC, since I was low on cells, despite firing the plasma rifle only rarely.

Nice win, and a good way to return to the fray.
Welcome back, Klear Nukem! :)

[Radagast]

Lucky thing to get 2 nano and an onyx mod on the same play. (actually I have never found an onyx mod.. lol)

Anyway welcome back and gratz but I'm wondering:

Angel of Purity in just 2 hours in UV with Limbo cleared as well as most of the special levels?
Srsly those UV and nightmare runs on hard challenges in 2 hours or less will drive me CRAZY, they seem outrageously impossible in my eyes. I'll probably never understand how some of you can play this game so fast.....

PS: And yes I know that 2Dev's Times per run, are even more outrageous...

[Klear]

Well, if you have ridiculous sight range (cateye), can see through walls (int 2), and have unlimited missiles (nano missile launcher), the late levels don't really take that long. In limbo I pretty much just threw everything into lava and laughed (had to keep knocking the n! cacodemons away though).

Damn! I only just realized - I could have made a nano napalm launcher. With my lava boots, I would be unstoppable. Or rather, unstoppable-er.

Welcome back!  Also, Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition was released on Steam.

We should get to work on DukeRL and pester KK to work on it too.  =)

[Klear]

I'm visiting the forum for the first time this year, but I've been thinking about DukeRL in the meantime. I'll update the thread with new stuff once I'm done reading most of the accumulated unread posts. And I'll try to get All Outta Bubblegum back on track. I hope I didn't completely kill it with my disappearance.

[LuckyDee]

Big thanks to LuckyDee for poking me a bit and making me break the cycle.

And seeing how easy you make this look almost makes me regret it :S
