I was 100%ing every map in Hellbound. Some of those maps take a while to finish even without fully clearing them, and some of the secret areas are a pain in the ass to find if you don't know (or remember) exactly where to look. Also, playing with DRLA monsters; I had a few
extraordinarily prolonged chokepoint holdouts due to high-level Tech/Nightmare Archviles... and Spider Overminds take long enough to kill WITHOUT having like double health and ridiculous resistances. Not fun, when you're on a map immediately after a death exit forcing a pistol start and you have to use the shotgun's rail beam to plink rainbow-star 'viles to death (because there's no way I was getting through that many Nightmare Barons and Techno-Lords to hit them directly).
Anyway, it happened about halfway through map 24, so I was getting close to the end, at least. Next time I go through a megawad with this, I guess I'll pick a smaller one, so I have enough time to get those precious Score bonuses and still Save The World(tm).
