Thanks fampai. Does that stack with armor protection? Thinking I should have use close-range rockets more the few times I had red armor stacked with a Power Shield.
That's another thing, I feel like I kept getting Power Shields AFTER fights with fucking Fiends. Maybe they would have been more useful at tanking Ogre multi-grenades? Ahhh, whatever.

That's fine, I only picked-up Quake to play Violent Rumble. But I figured I'd play the official mission packs first to hone my skills. I've beaten Clock Tower(?) from VR already as a way to test-out ironwail tho.

>dangerous wastes of time
I've played arcade cabinets and arcade-style games my whole life, so that's no concern for me. I prefer to think of re-doing a level from the beginning as a way to practice it and hone my skills. (I have a lot of Quake catching-up to do.) It's also sometimes strangely satisfying when a level is genuinely fun throughout but I get stopped by a few challenges near the end, then have to redo the whole map. Probably one of the reasons I like Willits' maps so much; they were early lessons in routing with Quake's unique mechanics.

I beat DMC4 on normal once, but never bothered with getting good, even though I went Totally cuhRAYzee with 3. I haven't played DMC3SE for that matter.
It sucks that I'm extremely averse to playing the same gameplay more than once throughout my life.

This is hell. With NES I think I have it as good as possible, but then there's junk data showing up on the sides that really makes me think I should adjust it. Is that normally visible on a CRT?
