In Response To: cool series of posts! (Earthtopus)

: This is highly interesting to me, because of the 100% accuracy thing (which
: isn't reported on after Ground Floor first Reprise) and because they seem
: to be going out of the way to look for things to kill--and because of the
: time they've taken!

: I had the Pipes at 6:25 AM on Sunday (T+12m). I can't believe I didn't bring
: this up here until after the Meanie was Dead, but I still have copious
: notes. Returning to the blue rune and killing the Ghouls and Zombies on
: the west wing took me to 6:33 (T+20). The teleporters bypassing ...But
: They're Hungry and most of Evil Undead Phantasms Must Die! were my
: friends. (Thank heavens the Large Pearl is by the teleporter-save
: rune-ladder-to-Ascension trio on EUPMD)

: By the time I quit the pistol I was 200/203 with the knife and 604/638 on the
: Walther; I might try to get the Pipes down to 6:24 and 100% accuracy, but
: by the time the MP-41 and then the Wraiths come around, 100% accuracy
: seems too insane to try for...

: The link provides an amazing breakdown of Ascension, though, and I clearly
: should have been trawling this for inspiration...

The weird thing about that thread is that I can't find any other posts by Rick Talcott in this series. Not even traces (e.g. orphaned replies). It's like he writes this insanely long and detailed account of getting through Ascension without taking any hits and then promptly stops. Maybe I haven't searched hard enough.

I do know that he was 44 when he wrote that post!!!

Cheers
