N-thing Angry "Red" Lobster. Suggesting Alessandra "Bloody" Margottini because that makes her name sound like a drink, and I can't unhear Chris "Can't Kiss" Gasmask.

This man knows where it's at. I'm voting with him.

Also I suggest Eph "Phenolphthalein" Phatha. Too long? Don't care. Epitaph is great too.

For the love of god, this. If Jade knows how to pronounce this from the get-go I will be very disappointed.

In fairness, 'Eph Phatha' is also spelt like I presume it sounds.

JAIDS-bait. Better Julian than the recording computer, right?

I kinda wish we had a character named Erich Rhoemer that whenever he attacked the klezmer music would start playing.

wh...what?

What is this apropos of? And why klezmer music?!

Oh man, this is the kind of :xcom: bullshit I was hoping for! This is the kind of mission that really makes you feel like you're a resistance movement against an overwhelmingly larger enemy force - Jade's team was outnumbered, outgunned, got blindsided by a bonus Cartman-snake-king, and once they grabbed their target, enemy reinforcements drop in between them and the evac point. (Guava's disgust at the usefulness of Bulwark's free armour is a cherry on that particular cake.) Bonus points for bringing it down to the wire. I look forward to whatever terrible plans Tygon comes up with from the Viper King autopsy. (And why wouldn't you want to mod a soldier up with the Viper King's bullshit? Remember, mad science means never having to say you're sorry. Or at least never saying you're sorry. I forget which.)

Also, I'm putting my (no) money on Jade not getting the next video out before Christmas.

As much fun as it was to see him RULES OF NATURE-ing things, I feel like we need a scout. Whether Talow's the man for the job or not remains to be seen.

I vote you recruit Eating Only Apples because you need a grenadier with really huge glasses. Surely nothing can go wrong wearing glasses on a battlefield when you're running around and bumping into things and blowing things up.

Also goddamn that Nat 20.

Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium, continues to do the impossible.

Also, he needs to be 'Ciaphas 'BLAM' Cain'. Because sometimes the simple things are best. As for the R.A.G.E suit, why not keep it referential?

Wouldn't it only last for however many actions instead of however many turns?

...would it react to its own actions by taking another action?

Actually, do rulers respond to mind controlled aliens taking turns? How about mind controlled members of XCOM?

Still, I'm not a fan of any perk or build where "get shot" is part of how it works.

Not even the stupid XCOM:EW MEC build where you tried to optimize for minimum pilot health so a 14 health MEC could tank like 12 shots?

I hardly ever use MECs in general after Portent and Newfoundland. A fine early game crutch, but once I have enough meld to get the gene lab up and running I always switch to gene troopers.

I can't help but think Guava would have Words for you on this subject.

Granted, most of them would probably be 'boosh', but the point stands.

A vote for Sacrifice is a vote for spiting Guava.

And a vote for spiting Guava is a vote against...uh...I dunno, the Prairies? I didn't think this all the way through.

edit: I really didn't think this all the way through because the vote's already over. :v:

I might have whispered 'Rules of Nature' to myself at the end of this mission when Hulk went on his little axing spree. Still didn't redeem himself for the farce that was that ambush, but we can't have it all!

Also, congratulations on your Giant Robotic Crab syndrome going into remission, Jade Star!

Getting to cover after razing a swath of the battlefield: just one more fantastic use for Salvo (in heavy weapons) and PSI Inspire (otherwise).

Honestly, PSI inspire is really underused so far in the LP- if you don't need to move your PSI op or can get a free move, you can get a free extra action for anyone in the op's sight on a 3-turn cooldown. It's a single action that doesn't end the turn!

I like that you formatted it as though it were learned by a character in Earthbound.

Isn't there a setting where humans are kept on earth because everything else is scared about how insane we are?

Bruce Coville's 'My Teacher...' series of children's novels, but I rather suspect that's not what you're talking about.

Holy poo poo my parents read those to me when I was a little kid, I had forgotten about it until just now. They called their spaceship the New Jersey because it was the size of New Jersey.

That's the series! They stood out to me as a kid because I seem to remember the ending to either 3/4 or all four books being real downers.
