"Okay, what is it?" Well, you have to kill Pinkies. You know, those big, pink, hairless, apes. "Hah! Done it." Now put away your shotgun. "Fine." And your pistol. "Fine." And your chaingun. "Yeesh. Fine." And your rocket launcher. "(??) Sure, fine. And your chainsaw. "What??" And you can leave your plasma rifle and BFG 9000 in the closet, too. "WHAT??" That's right, ladies and gentlemen. It's time for Pinkie-Boxing!! Seems like when I'm playing episodes 2 and 3, I'm always short on ammo. Not only that, but I don't get the chainsaw until annoying late in the adventure. So why waste buckshot?? Kill'em with yer fists! Spectres too! Lots o'fun! I got through episode 3, level 1 without shooting a single Pinkie! Ahem. Seriously, does anyone else find it a better idea to kill Demons and Spectres with your fists rather than bullets? I've become quite good at it, and regularly dispatch them without losing any health whatsoever, provided I don't let them attack me on two sides. Ever since I did the first part of level 1-8 with nothing but my fists, this has become my modus operandi... Paul Brinkley brin...@cs.utexas.edu
