In Response To: Re: Erm... "Eat the path?" (Grasshopper)

: Yep, or, as Hamish might say, aye. Lucky indeed. When I first did M2, I was
: cocky so I decided, after doing the first few levels on N, to started
: again on TC and stick to it. I've died in more ways than I thought
: possible when I first played IIHARL. Basically, you get there, and you
: _know_ your SOL when, all of a sudden, DOZENS of shotgun shells get
: teleported, along with, like, three or four 2x and 3x health canisters.
: Then the grenades start.... the first time I got there, I hit the switch
: and waited... and waited... meanwhile three rugby teams' worth of troopers
: were approaching fast. And finally, by the time the door opened, I was
: done, splattered against the door to my freedom, or so I thought. Rinse,
: repeat, a LOT. Finally got to making it to the 1x recharger (and... was
: there a save term there?) to the left of the first main door, and learned
: to survive the second assault... rinse repeat. Those sims blew me up all
: over that room. Unbelieable air time there.

: Once you get over THAT, the game contiues, with the hunters, and more
: troopers, and mor sims, and more hunters, until finally, the prize stands
: high above the lava -- what you've been waiting for all along, forget the
: wimpy SubMG, even the trusty AR, which has been mostly useless sans
: grenades, is dwarfed -- the mighty SNPKR, a garden of missile packs, and a
: nice, juicy 3x canister; the moment you get your bloody hands on those, a
: metamorphosis occurs: one moment, you're a weak, half-dead Marine jumping
: at every sound during the rare moments of respite, running like hell from
: everything while grenades and bullets are whizing by, to a Marine with a
: big, explosive cigar. And you're triumphant, flying in the air over the
: lava, glancing left to give that small group of troopers a nice pedicure
: that sends their pulpy remains flying into the lava (or alive if you're
: really good), etc ,etc.

Bah. I can Vid that level now about a 3rd of the time. But that group of levels is definatly the hardest. Hmmm, what was that... ugg, the level where you have to "jump" on the platforms over that pink lava while about a million compilers (half of them are invisible, theres nothing like running for an open door and then just stopping, only then noticing the slight shadow in front of you...) are shooting at you. That took me a while to Vid.

some posts back someone asks if i use a pc or mac. I use mac, just dont have the others. If anyone knows where i can get a copy of either cheap (as a 14 year old, i dont have a lot of spare $$) id like to try Viding Infinity or the original.
