I've just done "Bob-B-Q" and "Beware of Low-Flying Defense Drones", anyone
want to see? I imagine that "Pfhoraphobia" will be impossible, but I
haven't tried it yet.

Yes Jason, but did you save enough Bobs to satisfy Leela? :)
I would really like to see these films.

I would really like to see this. I would'nt have thought it was possible.
I'd love to be proved wrong.
And I still can't do the first level on Total Carnage...

you have a weapon that can flip switches from a distance, but some of
these same levels do not have any weapons to pick up. The pistol will not
allow you to complete the level. Please tell me if I am wrong.

I don't care what anyone says (even Jason!), this is not possible. Never
mind the fact that you need grenades and/or the fusion pistol to open some
doors. The challenge is just too great. I've done some wild things (like
punching out hulks and those big metal blimps on Try Again), but I just
don't see how ANYONE can get through, say, Pfhoraphobia with a pistol,
particularly since there's no ammo on that level, apart from alien
weapons, as I recall.

on total carnage it was hard for me to get them before the pfhor, but
i was still largely successful. :)
has anyone noticed that unlike the aliens, bobs don't get any smarter,
stronger or faster at higher difficulty levels? same thing happens to
the defense drones. bobs are complete fodder on total carnage.
I'm trying to figure out some trick to finishing "Couch Fishing" (#4) in
this way, but so far I can only clear out the first wave and recharge.
Anyone tried (#16) "Pfhor Your Eyes Only" ?

the second level (twisty passages with green hunters on the end) when I
should've recharged, but took on 2 hunters and a blue. should've
survived that one :P Really quite simple once you clear out the big
room, so you can lead any(all) big engagements there. if anyone wants
to see I'll upload it (it's big - 124k - but a lot more exciting than
the boring 2-player netgames we're getting).

ah, grasshopper, the most accessable weapon of all is your own fists,
you must learn to lay aside your weapons of steel and use your flesh.
<grin>
i'm posting the binhex'd BBQ film in it's own thread. i hope that
everyone agrees after watching it that luck played no part in this
replay.
