It has very easy and natural transition points, so in that sense editing would be very easy and fluid for viewers.

I think the idea of cutting it into thirds and posting them all at once is a good idea, it effectively covers all preferences and shouldn't require much work in post editing to make happen.

If it's got logical break points I'd break it up.

This mission in particular has some nice break points in between sections. Problem being the sections don't all take the same amount of time.

There's a reason part of the lp recommendation thread is dedicated to insomnia lp's.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who watches LPs when going to sleep (usually it's games I've played before but these days anything goes)

Also either option works (any of the three options at this point)

I'm assuming the LW mod he was using makes the intro mission random, since he lost when he ran out of soldiers.

Regardless, that was ROUGH.

That's just the mission you get if you don't go through the tutorial. You play out the demolition/distraction portion of Operation Gatecrasher.

Right, also at that point you only have those four soldiers, so if all of them die Xcom loses it's military arm.

It can be a tough mission, because rookies suck. Especially when this bullshit happens. :xcom:

Yeah, I was kind of surprised on Christopher Odd's video because you could clearly see the other 3 guys standing there, and he didn't open up with a grenade-->Overwatch combo.

They were too far away for a grenade. He could have gambled another turn moving closer, but would have given up the high ground aim advantage. There's only so much you can do when the divine wrath of RNGesus comes down like that.

On that note, are there any good compilations of these moments? My old beater of a laptop can't run Xcom2, so I sadly have to Xcom vicariously through LPs.

Listen, Matt Damon's character had no motivation to do what he did. Why didn't he just be honest? They wouldn't murder him or put him back in the tube, so why did Matt Damon let them bring down the terraforming equipment to the poo poo planet, dooming humanity in the process? And why the hell didn't Murphy send a rescue mission herself to get Anne Hathaway at any point in the, oh, 50 or so years she had after solving the secret of gravity? Through morse code? Somehow? Which is its own problem, but whatever. Point is, the movie is a lot like the game Heavy Rain where you're enjoying it as it's happening, but once it's over and you think about it, you realize it's kind of poo poo and makes no sense. When multidimensional objects constructed by future humans makes the most sense in your plot, you've got problems.

Given your past experiences, I'm going to guess the context is: an enemy shows up and three of your units right next to it should have line of sight on it...but for some reason they do not, and yet your sniper 500 feet away can see it clearly, but has a less than 30% shot on the enemy.
