My original goal with this was to break the sub-30 barrier. We did just that and then proceeded to crush it with this run.

I know the shotgun did it's work on Cthulu but damn my nests must've been complete crap up to this point to have saved that much time.

Also this game really wanted me to have Vulcan for the final boss. I still have yet to see if my new strat for Dr. Herzog is good enough for two cycle phase 1 and a three cycle phase 2 on that fight.

This run does make me wonder what my potential is on hard difficulty. Guess I'm gonna find out soon as that is what I'm gonna grind next.

I had to re-adjust the time to reflect the current timing method. Already was verified by turbogilman prior.
