That's a new one on me.  I usually strafe out of the way, it's a little safer.
Wait till you try the guy on the secret level of episode 3.  In my opinion
that is the toughest character in the game anywhere... he shoots rockets but 
they are extremely fast, nearly impossible to dodge long enough to poud the guy.

>out of a window with the rocket launcher?  Kinda funny, actually.

Wait till you see the full version.  Using the BFG is a lot of fun.... I like
to turn on the god mode cheat, waltz into a huge room full of guys, draw
them all out and hide in a corner or recessed panel.  Then let off a shot --
BOOM... bodies everywhere.  Maybe 20 guys lying on the ground, and the
guy that was standing in front of you at the time gets blown to the far
wall before exploding.  Barrels that are 50 feet away explode...
Tons of fun...

The BFG is powerfull enough to kill those guys at the end of the first
game with one single shot each in case you're curious about it.

Big flipping grins from the Big flipping gun....
