Alright, we're all looking forward to it. But it shouldn't take long to reach the next page. Edit: See?

Yeah, whatever you were eating for that thread, get more because that was an awesome LP. So is this one.

Speaking of which, did Vice ever start his Madoka Civ lp? Or is he still busy with the mod?

The mod, and I think he decided not to do the lp as he talked about it in the sandcastle or something (I don't remember that well) and they didn't like it. I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

It's the sandcastle and it was a mod about magical girls. Not that people shouldn't use the sandcastle for technical poo poo, but there's some pretty poo poo opinions in there.

Yeah, but he got legit criticism about his writing, too. It... wasn't very good. IMO he should play to his strengths and stick to making great mods.

Oh well. I guess Speedball could take a crack at that whenever he feels up to it. He did start it back in the Peace-Walker thread so he had some kind of idea (albeit, he didn't seem to be going for narrative).

To be fair, nobody wants to make Speedball go back to Civ V, he's already got over 1000 hours in it and last I heard of it, he was getting really burned out on it.

1275 hours. Plus I'm not sure I can top a cultural victory that has two men fighting each other with martial arts and music atop Outer Heaven. Beyond Earth's out too, because for now the game's not... it's not feature-rich enough for me to show off lots of neat interlocking strategies. It's over-flexible, to the point that the factions are not distinct from each other at all. Endless Legend might be in the cards, too, but it'll be later.

I'd suggest a Dragon Age Inquisition sidejaunt, but that game's a steaming pile of bugs still.

Dragon Age? Inquisition? ... I don't think so. Have played it, don't think I should LP it. Bar-Lev will return and will test just how drunk you can get when most of your body is made of carbon nanotubes and steel. Speedball fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Mar 9, 2015 |

Oh well, but I am equally excited to see what you can do with EL. I haven't finished a game yet because the progress rate is really slow, but I really like the design of it. I'm looking forward to see what you can do with it.

Well that's yet another broken promise. Sorry, folks. I've been a shell of a man ever since December. This upcoming weekend will probably be different, though.

Hey! I'm replaying XCOM because of this LP! I've actually started to tweak my unit's around a bit because of you. I have to say though, given the either/or/both option of Genetics or Cybernetics, I chose Genetics every time. Probably because I play with the Skill Roulette and Cybernetics ignores that.

Relax man, we understand and if you ever need someone to listen to your woes we'll be here for you. (Though I imagine at least some of us are aggravated by the lack of updates everyone is to polite to say that, which I think is a good sign. I'm saying this as I just like to speak my mind.) If I could, I'd get you a beer, but for obvious reasons I can't. I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things.

Did something happen last weekend? If so, sorry man, and hope that your problems get better soon. I'm sure we all eagerly await the next update, regardless of when it is. Sorry for making a double post, but we worry about you man. I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

Actually, my other fanbase came to me and shot me nearly 50 encouraging messages on one page. So I've been taking it easy and letting that sink in, examining my life and so on. I'm feeling a lot better now, just not at 100%. VV: For the other thing I do. It is totally a freaky coincidence that Greg was scripted to face a demon that forces you to relive unbearable emotions right when I was facing something similar. Fortunately, he's also scripted to snap out of it shortly. Speedball fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Feb 4, 2015 |

Now that the ball is rolling, I can spend time and mental energy on XCOM as well. I plan on updating XCOM tomorrow, see if I don't. Now that the Sectoid Commander is dead and psychic powers are going to be researched, things are only going to get weirder from now on. And they're already pretty drat weird!

I've started playing Enemy Within, and probably the weirdest part of it, for me, is how my MEC's voice clips have changed. He went from your standard efficient soldier type to saying lines like "damage within acceptable parameters" and "resources are depleted" with this weird robotic distortion on his voice. My guess is he always wanted to be a cyborg, and now that he is he feels he has to imitate Robocop. Neeeeerd.

It's pretty rude to ask such things.

Well, the 'Speedball' name comes from how when he takes a hit above a certain 'speed' he gets a 'ball' of kinetic energy to redirect it. Then Civil War happened, and the formerly happy-go-lucky hero was reworked into pain-powered suffering-magnet Penance, which people are gradually trying to claw back because it was a really really terrible idea. Unless we're talking about an entirely different Speedball...

Speedball posted:Hilarity That was excellent Speedball and I look forward to seeing how anyone who becomes psionic reacts to it. Oh and I can't wait till you find Annette Durand who's guaranteed to be a high will psi powerhouse and see what the team thinks of her and her story. You already have Zhang with his Triad experience acting as a badass somewhat aged dude on the field, I imagine he'd have some tips for our future recruits, since I swear he seems to be near guaranteed to test positive for PSI. (which means he should probably be one of the first people who put in the psi labs). I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things.
