Long Live the Queen.
And I would say buy it. Or mug someone and have them gift it to you on Steam.
...it's on Steam, right?
Yep. On Steam. It was on sale at one point during the summer sale for something like $2.50 USD or something like that. Currently it's 50% off, $5 USD, which is still decent.
I got it during that summer sale, and gave up when I kept dying to arrows on the way to that thing. Never enough archery knowledge, man.
Well you could, just, you know, not go.  Alternatively, you can

I figured out the entire first area, totally without a guide. Considering how awful I am at adventure games and how obtuse the puzzles appeared at first, this is considerable ownage for me.

Brunhilde the Dwarf Paladin had enough of the damn trees.

Surrounded on all sides by the woody monsters, they bashed into her armor as she desperately blocked all of her eight attackers from the cardinal directions. Shield and armor bared for strength, her tenacity unmatched. But they would not relent. For even as she cut down one tree with her faithful mithril battle axe, another took it's place. Then another. Then another. There was no end to their leafy tide.

Perhaps if she had not used her Wand of Ball Lightning, this wouldn't have happened. For, although she was expecting a small Area of Effect spell around her self, it quickly managed to anger every damn tree in the forest. With every move at her disposal, she fought back. Wand of Fire. Wand of Wonders. Divine Punishment in the form of lightning. All attempts to fight back failed as she was pushed back into a corner. Thrice she called upon the mighty dwarf god, Morodwyn, and thrice didst thou bind her wounds in golden light. But it was all for naught, for there was nothing she could do against the tide to destroy it.

In a show of desperation, she searched her bag for inspiration. There was contained within, a potion of Invisibility and several bottles of holy water. An idea sprang to mind. With haste, she combined the two drinks into a concoction true and drank it. Aha! Surely, now that trees could not see her, she could slip away unnoticed!

But that did not happen. They continued to attack her, and though she felled many more trees, it was not enough. Then a small bout of luck happened. She began to feel herself pulled away, her teleportation curse activating. "Aha!" She thought. "With that, I can flee back to the entrance and escape this wretched cave!" Oh, but poor girl was wrong! For as soon as she teleported, her zone was blocked and she was pushed to the absolute other corner of the room. Woe! Now she was even more stranded than before. But this time, the trees were blissfully unaware of her presence. Relatively speaking. In spite of her invisibility, they could still sense her.

Brunhilde's indomitable defense was fading. It would not be long now before her soul journeyed into the nether as her body was crushed into plant food. Still, onward she surged forward, sneaking around trees when she could and felling them when she had to. Just a bit further, and she would be free! The trees coordinated one last effort, surrounding her. This was the end. But, there! Off in the distance! The stairwell that led out of the forest! A mere moment after that, her curse of teleportation kicked in. Aha! Now was her chance! Carefully, she placed her marker and with a "puff" found herself at the top of a stairwell leading downwards. She descended rapidly, overjoyed at her freedom as the last of her Potion of Invisibility wore off.

The Dwarves had conquered the Forest!

...Now, if only she could find her way back up safely. Key word, being safely.

Nisha's action skill + Jakobs Sniper Rifle with 4.0 fire rate and 96.7 accuracy + a room of 6 bandits = a room full of 6 dead bandits shot in the head in only a second.

Noice. Yeah. Don't use fire spells in the forest, unless you want to aggro the whole forest and wade through a wall of living wood. Dwarven Halls shouldn't be too dangerous. Don't attack anything that's not hostile and find the stairs out as quick as possible. Once you survive the first run through the halls you can just rush from staircase to staircase and probably not meet anything too dangerous. Maybe.

Aye. Unfortunately, they were already pissed when I used the Wand of Ball Lightning. Which was alarming, as I hadn't expected such opposition when they all wanted me dead. At that point, all bets were off, which is why i risked the Wand of Fire.

Managed to barely save a city from complete fiscal insolvency(~$20k, >$2k monthly deficit)... by turning to the mafia. One mission gave me $70k, which I used, along with massive cuts to various fundings, to expand industry and add some housing. Even after restoring that funding due to strikes from both the police and firemen(then doctors, then teachers), I still turned it around.

Sure, I may now be an accessory to (implied) murder, but now this city has a few dollars profit!

Enemy had 17 health left, and two minions: Molten Giant and High Justice Grimstone. I had 5 whelps, courtesy of Onyxia, and 20 health.

I play Unleash the Hounds, hit face, Bite, hit face, Twisting Nether, Avenging Wrath.

I had a perfect breach set up at the door to the corvette, ready with smoke down, knockout gas grenades ready, there was basically no way that I wouldn't be able to breach and get positioned inside within 1 turn.
As I prepared to start, the commander burst out of the door and ran right into the middle of my setup. He got shut up pretty bad but not lethally, probably because my carbine-equipped soldiers had been deploying smoke so couldn't give reaction fire. The commander then ended up stood next to my shield/scout, so I ordered him to pull out his Cattle Prod of Restful Sleep to beat the commander into submission.

The rest of the mission went smoothly, by the way.

Missed the game. XCOM: UFO Defense, or similar, right?

Oh man I remember my first game of DoomRL. I was all like "This is probably balanced like Doom, let's play it on Ultra Violence!"

...I didn't even survive the first level.

Turns out this game is allooot easier with the command artifact on. Stacked the everloving crap out of attack speed, crit, and on hit items on the Huntress. Essentially became bow-Christ with the ability to turn arrows in missiles. Pretty sure this was my shortest final boss fight yet according to the in game clock, but all mah missile broke the game and it just kept on getting slower. What was around a 2.5 minute in game fight became half an hour in rl of fighting Providence in ullllllllttrrraaaaaa slloooooooowwwww moooooooooo.

Oh sweet jesus the flares are so useful. Sure you have a tougher time vs other pyros and Chargin' Targe Demomen, but the ability to crit anyone who's on fire is amazing. (If you're really good at controlling Pyro's flames, you can time it so that the brief amount of time that the afterburn immune players are on fire (0.6 seconds I believe) you can hit them with a crit flare despite their afterburn immunity.)

Detonator is good for harassing snipers behind cover, and you can also do a miniature rocket jump with it that propels you a little higher than a crouchjump does.

Scorch Shot does eff all damage, (-50%, so ~15 on hit), but it has knockback and as it falls to the ground can ignite another person. It pairs very well with the Phlogistinator for building up MMMPH, and also is good for annoyance. You're not going to get that delicious flare-punch like you can with the standard Flare Gun though.

Manmelter is a cool idea with a very poor execution. Sure you can put out your teammates to store a guaranteed crit, and sure the projectile is the fastest in the game, tied with Sandman balls, Flying Guillotine cleavers, Crusader's Crossbow bolts and Huntsman arrows, but the reality is that the delay before you can fire totally kills the weapon, and the passive reload is incredibly slow.
