Well, we're rushing into things really quickly! This seems to be carrying your humorous style from the Big Boss LP, so looking forward. ![]()

Well, hello, Agent Carter. I see you got your fedora back at last. Or at least, that's my guess as to who angry fedora man is.

Checking in. Never actually played XCOM. I already like how you can customize your individual soldiers just so they can get brutally murdered later.

I never give my soldiers atrocious paintjobs until they've earned their callsign. That way, I can see who's essential and who isn't by whether or not they stepped off the set of Tron. MECs always get hideous pink camo though. There is no question about this.

This is reasonable, but for screenshot purposes it'll be easier for readers to keep track of who's who when we start right out the gate with atrocious paintjobs. I'd have had them in the starting mission if you were allowed to customize before it!

As some of you may know, commander Rex Manstrong (Commander is his first name) is ...But what if he was fired? Well then, he'd probably take his daring, bold and unspecifiedly heroic blundering to the next best alien-fighting agency in the solar system. X-com! So, I submit to you, the hypothetical Rex Manstrong He's a daring go-getter with a profound inability to experience the world as anything but some kind of weird pulp/star trek hybrid where he is kirk. Also, he kind of looks like this -----> ![]() (Though he could of course, get plastic surgery.) Edit: I am aware that this is just a submission for laughs. However, if you do actually accept this man, try to make him an assault or a heavy. and tank him up ridiculously with unsafe alien gene-mods NewMars fucked around with this message at 07:22 on Aug 25, 2014 |

Well now. This is interesting. Like your portrayal of bradford as a hapless unimaginative dork. Nature documentary indeed.

Excellent, this is looking good so far. Well, with this new commander, we should wrap these aliens up in time for tea soon enough.

I feel Bradford deserves better. While you dick around in the base, wasting tax payer dollars on shiny new toys to throw at the enemy, Bradford is in the base and handles all that paperwork and important stuff. Cut him some slack ![]()

It was going just fine until he tells you to approach the guy carrying the grenade. I refused to give the order for a full minute because I knew drat well it was going to get the poor bastard killed. Bradford and Vahlen are both idiots who deserve all the poo poo they get. Seriously, bitching about losing out on weapon fragments when we blow up the vastly better equipped aliens on the first frigging mission...

Now, the real problem was cleaning em off the prop, and outta the flap servos on my plane. Oh, also, for some reason, they took my instructor, so I need to find a new one.

Vahlen just puts almost no value on human life compared to SCIENCE. If when the war ends there's just a million people alive, but she got to blast a sectoid's dong with 5,000,000 volts? Well, that's a win right there.

Not one soldier dies due to negligence. Negligence in this case being failure to use explosives whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Vahlen is more like, "dude, give me something to work with so I can at least justify my paycheck!" I can't fault her for that too much.

Admittedly, a lot of what she does is banned under the Geneva convention, but you just don't have the heart to bring that up when she's having so much fun.

Sweet, ground floor for an XCOM game! If the Civ 5 thread was anything to go by, this will be an amazing trip! Also I would like to suggest Samus Aran for MEC Trooper, because seriously, why wouldn't you?
