My stupidest death? I was trying to clear a path between an Invulnerability Globe and the stairs, so that I would max out my invulnerable time. It was down below ~15, so it would have helped in case the game decided to spawn multiple Arch-Viles next to a group of Revenants. This very thing had happened twice to me already, one of those on my current level. I had very low health, below 15% I believe, and was planning to grab the Invulnerability Globe rather than waste one of my precious Large Med-Packs. I was moving some barrels next to walls to blow a path through, as I lacked a Rocket Launcher. I normally use either a pistol build, with Son of a Gun, Eagle Eye, and Dualgunner, or a shotgun build, with Reloader, Shottyman, and Hellrunner, so I had no need for the Rocket Launcher after I used it to blow my way through The Wall. I was not paying much attention at the moment, as I was thinking about how I was to reposition the next barrel I needed to use, and pushed my current one right into some lava. So because of my extreme stinginess with Invulnerability Globes (am I alone in this, or does anyone else treat them and Megaspheres similarly?) I inadvertently caused the death of my character. Worse still, he was one of my highest-scoring characters, and his name appears prominently on my score list, with the cause of death as 'committed a stupid suicide'. As of that day, my quest has been to get enough high scoring characters to remove that embarrassing stain on my High Score List.

And since they can't use rocket launchers, the only way of getting through The Wall would have to be somehow finding the Anti-Freak Jackal before then.  But I don't even know if that would work.

Well according to the wiki, the Anti-Freak Jackal fires bullets that explode in a 1-tile radius, so you should be able to break through the wall if you found it, unless it acts differently from all the other explosives in the game.

Alright, even the Anti-Freak Jackal might not help against The Wall. I picked it up after that level, so I never got a chance to test it. It fires 10mm bullets that explode in a 3x3 blast, that sometimes destroys walls. You can fire it a few times if you need to break through a wall, such as in the  Halls of Carnage, although there you could just take a shot at the door. Still, on The Wall, the titular wall is very thick, so you would need to waste a lot of ammo on it, assuming you can even use it to blow up walls on that level.

DoomRL is one of my favourite RLs, together with a couple of *band variants. Permadeath rules. :D

Especially the music and soundeffects are great. I still have a version of Doom (only slightly altered to make use of openGL graphics and mouse) on my PC along with the Doom re-release on XBLA.

Some classics just never die. And you can ALWAYS come back to Doom.

I was dual wielding the Gammatron Cleric Beretta, and the Trigun, I was incredibly lucky to find both of them. I was on Hurt Me Plenty too. I was doing sooo well until I got ambushed by two Archviles and something like 20 Revanants. I should have just ran away.

The problem with dual wielding them is that you can't reload them at once. You have to reload one, switch to the other, and reload that one. Both have an alternate reload, and the Trigun's alternate reload nukes the level.

They should make two skill levels of Dualgunner, one that lets you wield two pistols at a slightly reduced firing rate, like now, and a second level that lets you reload both pistols at the same time. That's the only thing that I don't like about pistol builds, that you have to keep switching between the weapons to use your main trait.

Can't you just use capital R to reload? Or did i misinterpret what you said?

I meant that it would automatically reload the secondary weapon, with just a normal reload, and fire the pistols at the standard rate, instead of the 120% speed that rank 1 Dualgunner has.

Spoiler: Mortem (click to show/hide)

Recent run that I did. I had unlocked the Captain rank (Angel of Impatience was horrible :P), and wanted to test out the recently-unlocked Nightmare! skill level. As is visible in the mortem, I died trying to fend off a mob of zombies and imps. I didn't actually stay alive long enough to appreciate the respawn aspect of Nightmare!, but I did hear one respawn as I was leaving level 1. Although I only cleared the first level, and killed a few enemies on level 2, Nightmare! multiplies your score x4, so this run still made it to my high score list.

If you activate the nuke and don't leave the level you'll get that message, because you BLASTED YOURSELF TO THE MOON!!



EDIT:  Or if you are in an unwinnable situation (3 arch-viles) and you want to go down in history I Am Legend style.

I finally got to the end, even if it was on easy. I had invulnerability at the start of the last level and I was hoping it would last until the nuke went off, but it died at 6 seconds to go :(

You have to quit the game using the exit option in the main menu. If you just close the window, it won't save any high scores/accomplishments.

I'm thinking of trying out a rocket launcher build, instead of my usual chaingun or pistol. With Eagle Eye, Reloader, Finesse, Whizkid, and an Advanced Rocket Launcher, I would be able to reload and fire it at several rockets per turn, and I've never had a problem with finding enough rockets to use. The only thing that I'm worried about is that I would destroy a lot of equipment because of the large splash damage, although it wouldn't be too large of a problem with Eagle Eye, as long as I'm careful about it.
