Hi Dark, Same here. I often use the computers, fans, radios, and so on to identify the rooms and use them as landmarks. Even use them to give the rooms generic names like large fan room, first floor computer lab, second floor restroom, etc. It seems using the sounds to identify and name rooms help solidly fix them in my mind because they no longer become anonymous places but labs, restrooms, etc.
As for the toilet and the blob I believe you are talking about the toilet on level 2. There is no toilet on level 3. However, I take your point. I also mainly use coordinates, directions, etc to navigate around the levels and I have found as long as I remember I was heading south, and don't get turned around and head north, I do fine with navigating those levels. I think a large part of the problem with some gamers is that they get into a scrape with a monster, get turned around, and walk a long way back into the same area they just explored not knowing they did so. Since they aren't familiar with the level they don't know which way to go to return to the area they have not explored yet. Cheers!
