Aw man, I've been waiting for this LP to happen for some time. Hoping to get in on the ground floor and if picked, I hope my dude does as well as last time.

Application sent, Jade! It's the return of Nittien Stomperud!

Here's to 60+ more kills! :black101:

Nice, here's hoping to see that legendary bad rear end again. I sent in the son of James Dean. Can the "Rebel"'s son blow up as many aliens as his pappy could with high explosives?

Doubling down on Gift Horse for Caiaphas!

Also I forgot in XCOM 1, how soon did it take for terror missions to begin. Was it one month in like here? It seems like a lot more stuff ramps out the game in this version compared to the previous version.

For nicknames:

Angry Rock Lobster the Grenadier. Because Common guys is 2016, we need a rock lobster reference :colbert:

Chris Gasmask Catnap the Ranger. I agree with zyxophoj's reasoning

Alessandra Reiter Margottini the Sharpshooter. Reiters were the first type of pistoleer troop, first seen in the 30 years war.

What is it about XCOM 2 that makes this effect so much more noticeable than in XCOM EU/EW? I recall numerous points where you would freely use consumables early and often to deny as many shots as you could- it took several episodes before we saw so much as enemy weapons fire.

I've not played XCOM 2 but watching these videos the pods do seem a bit more varied compared to XCOM 1 especially at this level of the game, so the added diversity means you might need your tools for later on.

Guava thought my helmet looked cool! truly this is the best day ever!

James "Rebel Jr." Dean Jr. is the undoubtedly best option!

Also if there is ever an Xcom 3, I call dibs on James Dean Jr the Third as my guy!

*Edit* also Man "Feelgood" Whore

drat that was a nail biter, glad to see Jade pull it off, though the immediate retaliation mission right after with some of the squad down must be a kicker.
