Holy poo poo, Jamball just had the Guardian skill proc 3 times in a row. The specialist on overwatch shot the same charging sectopod three times in a row and took a fourth shot before finally missing.

I'm doing my best to download goons as they put their characters up. So far I only have Rose and Pants, though, because I skipped like 200 posts. If you want to ensure that I get you, quote one of my posts blank out everything so I have a big yellow field telling me to stop.

You have to disable the tutorial and then click to the next tab. I have no idea why it isn't just grayed out on the first tab.

Got this one too (from e-mail).

If anybody sets up a dropbox, I'll grab the stuff out of it and make a convenient file out of them later. (Otherwise, you all can still feel free to e-mail me.)

Anyone who wants to help put these together into the Goon Regiment will get kudos and an enshrined spot in the OP! We must shoot all the aliens and die in horrifying numbers

So, I made a central uploader for me to collect files and make a pool for a different forum. I could make a copy of that and pretty easily do the same thing for Goons. Updating would be pretty easy.

For those worried about performance, the game complains that my laptop doesn't meet the minimum specs, but it still runs. The animations are a bit jerky, but it runs well enough on a 2 1/2 year old Macbook Air. So if it can run on that, it can run on just about anything.

Sounds like you two have something to talk about for the immediate moment! I would normally do this myself but I'm juggling about 6 other things today. Could I rely on you guys to get this sorted out so I can honor you both in the OP?

I can load them all together into a single pool and then have a standard link where you can get them all.

I won't be able to upload the first one until after it unlocks for me tonight (US), but then I'll keep it updated.

Based on this video, it seems like it can be done relatively simply. Tell you what, if anybody wants to make themselves (or something they'd like us all to imagine they look like) in game and then export it as a file and send it to me, I'll put them together and throw the file up somewhere for people to grab.

Rules:

1) Give the character an actual human goddamned name. It doesn't have to be YOUR name, since I have no way of checking, but it shouldn't be like "Buttass McDongs" or anything.
2) Make the nickname your SA username so people know who they're getting viciously murdered by snake ladies.
3) Export the soldier as a new pool that's just for it named with your username.

E-mail address is [my username]@gmail.com, just attach the file or put it somewhere and send me a link.

Man I have an SLI GTX 970 and cranking the settings up to maximum still crushes my puny machine. (3440x1440 resolution)

Even the title screen chugs along.
As another person on 3440x1440, I am not looking forward to hitting this at all on a single GTX 970. I turned down resolution in most other games to make it work out for me but I'm just hoping that the SLI is the problem rather than the game is murder on GPUs.

There's only four options for legs and they are all pants! Maybe if MECs get added back in a mod or DLC, then I can just get robot legs and not have to wear pants.

It was murder on single GTX 970 as well.

However, massive improvement was found turning the resolution down. I usually play XCOM in a window anyway because it lends well to multitasking. At 1920x1200 I set things back to almost max.

Anyways from what it looks like people need to create a character and put them in a pool of their own, before sending it to someone who will then put them in a big large character pool. I'm happy to do that if people send their characters to me at ironroseSA@gmail.com though I believe someone else said they would be down to do so as well.

I am not sure if you still get the cutscenes if you don't play the tutorial, so I would recommend doing it at least once if you are interested at all in the story of how the Commander was rescued by Central Officer Bradford.
