Yeesh, sorry I keep disappearing. Its been busy. But I am actually committed to finishing Icarus now, with whatever free time I can come up with. Once Icarus is done there will probably be another break for a bit, but I will be back. Just restructured how I section out my free time, so I'll give one thing all the attention I can until its finished, and then I'll cycle through all my hobbies and projects.
Anyways, Bootcamp. Tough bastard. Perfect to get me back into the zone after a hiatus. This map is action packed. Always being fired at from all over, always shooting, chewing through a stream of squishy meat. Getting through the first 3/4 of it comes down to perfecting some muscle memory, which took me an hour or so to get down. But the actual challenge of the map which bumps it up by at least 2 full points, is that damn cyberdemon. I think that is by far the single most dangerous cyberdemon I've ever seen. And I think even in a few years it'll probably still be in the top 5. That whole room is built as a completely unfair cat & mouse chase. Except this cat does splash damage, and you have no health to tank said splash damage. You have at most 3 BFG shots to kill the cyberdemon since you need some cells for the last room, so you gotta blast that bitch point blank whether you like it or not. There is no angle anywhere in that maze where you can do the BFG dance, so you just gotta get lucky. Lucky that he is in the right place at the right time and that you have some sort of opportunity, or just grit your teeth and pray he doesn't fire in your face immediately. After my muscle memory for the rest of the map was complete, every one of my deaths came from it. I don't know if that placement is unnecessarily mean, or ahead of its time. The work of an idiot or an evil genius. Hard to say, but the rest of the map is really enjoyable, so I can forgive it. This time is pretty awful but I do not care this time. This was my first clear after 120 attempts and I don't want to play the lottery anymore with that cyberdemon.
