Almost over. This has been a terrible weekend. I've been guarding an empty parking lot in the middle of a hot tropical storm for three days. But the neat things you guys said kept me going. Thanks. I love entertaining folks.

I did that for a bunch of years. Takes a certain type of person, really. I always liked the solitude. I've got some good memories from that job; sitting in a prefab shelter, at 3 am, in the middle of summer thunderstorm, playing Morrowind for the first time on my laptop because it's a Sunday morning on a holiday weekend and no one is going to be coming in, to check on me or drop off a trailer or what have you. But yeah, if you've just been stuck in a car or something that can be pretty frigging awful. At least it's warm, I've been stuck in a car, in a parking lot, in the dead of winter, across the street from a football stadium before, during, and after a game. Yuck.

Glad to hear that our attempts to keep your morale up are working. As has been said before, we're here for you man. If you ever need people to complain too or ask for reassurance or whatever, we'll be hear. I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

DS or 3DS, yeah. It's not a full-time thing but it helps make ends meet. Could be worse. Could have this guy as my boss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmFu42uvomg REGARDING XCOM: Working on next update. Will require a lot of screenshots, I think. We'll see.

And I'm fairly certain he wants to keep his job, since money is important. [/buzzkill] Seriously though Speedball, make sure you don't die of boredom, and stay sane. Although, failing at that last part would probably produce some interesting results... I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

Yup, still working on update... stuff happens... But first, an informal poll regarding what you all would like to see during a future LP I have planned. What do you eat? 1. Vegetables! They help you grow! 2. FRESH MEAT. I can't even look at something made of meat and not drool. 3. Painfully hot peppers, with a scalding hot coffee chaser. 4. Metal. 5. A lavish banquet with fine spices bought from an exotic bazaar. 6. Something expensive. I practically eat money. 7. Mostly, I get my meals from the local religious sanctuary. 8. Doesn't matter what I eat, as long as I eat with my friends! Though I am fond of freshwater fish... Speedball fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Jul 24, 2015 |

5. A lavish banquet with fine spices bought from an exotic bazaar. I say good food is the essence that binds our civilizations together. Perhaps, as some believe, it is a weakness, but I have tasted their wonders and I say that fine food rules the world!

Hey guys, been reading this thread for a while, but I found it late and didn't wanna comment until I was caught up. For personal feelings on it, I'd say that I'm sad that I didn't find out about this until recently because I friggin LOVE Speedball's stuff. Also, I cannot WAIT for the big reveal of the Commander, because while I've been fairly certain that he's Asaru, the Ethereal controlling Carter since I finished watching the Bureau LP right before I discovered this LP, I know Speedball too well to think that that's all that there is to it. Also, I wanted to say, "6" but since it doesn't seem to be winning... 4. Metal That's the Vaulters, right?

I tend to gnaw on some metals, and sometimes I just really throw money into stocking my food, but I would love to know how some people deal with spicy peppers and bitter coffee.

poo poo. They're adding another faction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFQxwaODOOc Uhhhh... uh.... quote:9. I dine and dash! There! Ah. This is why you never LP a game until you're sure ALL its expansions are out. Haha. Amplitude are workaholics, man. Anyway: It looks like most of you voted Metal so Vaulters it is for the first round of the Endless Legend LP when we get to it in a few months (I'm hoping to finish this one before XCOM 2 comes out, haha). Vaulters do, in fact, eat metal! Or at least, expend huge quantities of titanium on who-knows-what when they decide it's the metal they worship this month. After them, I'll probably show off the more mechanically distinct factions, not all of them (who has the time?) so that would be... Broken Lords, Roving Clans, Necrophages and Cultists. Guys Who Eat Money To Reproduce, Guys Who Can Buy Late-Game Luxuries From The Start, Guys Who Can't Eat Plants But Love To Eat People (seriously, they need to kill enemies to make food stockpiles and/or subdue barbarian monster villages to increase food yields because their normal food from the ground sucks) and Guys Who Brainwash Villagers Into Giving Them Their Food.

Speedball posted:poo poo. They're adding another faction. Glad the Vaulters won (they're my 2nd favorite faction after the Broken Lords), and I'm happy to see you'll be at least be showcasing the Broken Lords. I kinda wish you'd do a narrative LP of it, but I understand how hard that can be with the loose lore of EL. Also, am I the only person who cares more if Shadows will add proper multiplayer features like hotseat and teams than what the new faction does? Like how Guardians added Wonders.

Neat thing about the Vaulters is that they're more than just Smarty Smart Smart Guys Who Research Fast. All the stuff that has to do with them teleporting around, using their Holy Resource as weaponry and the ability to shield themselves from winter is really neat. In a lot of 4x games the Research Stuff Good factions are either good at nothing else or have significant penalties to turn them into weakling nerds.

Due to my limited experience in "4X games I've actually beaten/gotten close to winning a game", my default reaction to "Research Stuff Goods faction" is- *Cease Fire's with Liir* Now to try and capture this other faction's world without turbo murdering their population- *Liir mutagenic plague bombs the gently caress out of everything*  *Liir kamikaze into defense satellite, declare us enemies for life* Get hosed, Liir
