Eh, not like the aesthetics of the new classes in a poster are going to ruin anything.


Well in that case



Kind of disappointed with the customization options for these guys.

Been a while since I followed a JadeLP, glad to have caught this one early.

You know, I'm a little impressed the game has a texture for the bottom of a soldier's shoe.

Well, I made my submission.

With a cool 200+ in the pool, plus who knows how many other submissions for the special classes, I'll just have to be super stoked if mine gets recruited.

Also, I eagerly await to see how you use the new classes compared to how I did.

I'm so happy Jade is doing this for us all. And he wants posters?



This next one uses the magic of a Recruitable Aliens mod, a mod which is in no way balanced.







And when you don't bother to inspect what the Photobooth randomly spits out, the unexpected can occur.

I'm a little torn on whether to submit a character or not. My game is loving loaded with cosmetic mods and I've long since forgotten which prop is from what mod. Guess I could just reinstall with only the few core ones, but eh :effort:

Same here. I am ready to be some form of collateral damage, be it a civilian or that dude who dies because a Muton rolled a full damage crit.

Photobooth time? don't mind if I do


(I know it's supposed to be 1994)



these two are ancient from the XCOM2 thread but I also did a playthrough a while back for a discord I'm in, where I took character prompts from the people who wanted to be soldiers. It worked out well. Some of those are here because inlining is effort: https://imgur.com/a/mk3ou8h

It's not any game where Mr. Satan and HK-47 can be Level 3 Best Friends, but you can do it in XCOM 2!

Little update. Spent the day getting everyone in the character pool. Will start recording soon, but Guava has like, a family, and poo poo, so commentary and real videos will likely start after Christmas.

The real purpose of the photobooth is to document your death spiral, checking some infamous campaigns I've suppressed from memory, the nicknames start to get really mean by the time the memorials increase in frequency.

Should have submitted a soldier for the LP. Could have gotten you on the XCom insurance program. Lot of medical advances with ADVENT tech and all. Way better than Phoenix Company could manage.

The one who poo poo his pants at Engardine Maccas is current Prime Minister, Scott Morrison.
Who has a metal plaque on his desk with a sampan or other small boat with "I stopped these".
He was immigration minister under Tony Abbott.

Tony Abbott was the first in the current set of conservative prime ministers, from 2013 to 2015 I think. He did say he'd stop the boats and continued and turned up to 11 Australia's torture island policy.

If you will not serve in combat, you will serve on the firing line!




Probably should've sent in a character but I couldn't come up with anything good/funny. Even if I could've probably done 91:an Karlsson as a callback to 91 Stomperud.

Thank you very much! ...for the explanation, not for the lovely immigration policies.

Any day now.

Whoa, I totally forgot I submitted a character to the first LP and was confused for a hot second when my name was in the roster. Psyched to get my rear end blown up for the greater glory of Earth! Except if I recall you're pretty good at this game so I actually kinda expect to make Colonel some day. Sorry I'm a regular-rear end clown (regular rear end-clown?); that was my first campaign's first Ranger as randomly generated by the game.

Also, "Jason Vorhees and Meat" is definitely a blood-adjacent pairing.

And this op name is thirstier than any of the poster poses we've seen so far.

Nordick
Sep 3, 2011

Yes.
The weird-rear end grip situation with the cannons bugged me too, which is why I was glad to find the Cannon Animation Redux mod. Granted, it does the exact opposite of what you were calling for and makes characters only hold them by the top handles. But, ya know, at least it makes it consistent instead of this weird faffing around with two different grips.

Even with that, though, I mostly just use the several different LMGs from the various gun packs. Because, like you said, real looking guns.

"Australian politicians" was the naming convention for characters in my last run in Darkest Dungeon. E.g. so I could have Bob Hawke as a Man-at-Arms.

I didn't go for conservative politicians like Tony Abbott though, since... in Darkest Dungeon the idea is to oppose Stygian nightmares trying to destroy humanity, right? Not recruit them. :v:


Anyway, it's cool to see another Jade Star LP. I'm not a particular fan of the modern XCOM games, but I enjoyed the previous LPs.

Having Jason Voorhees become a ranger would have been fatefully thematic; nonetheless, I hope his bloodlust gets quenched as a sniper.

Anyway, I am glad to have a return to a Jade/Guava LP before the end of the year.

Why did the circus close?

A long, chilling list of animal rights violations.
The Council Speaker is voiced by Jon Bailey. The voice of Optimus Prime (including in the Michael Bay films) is Peter Cullen, who is also known for being the voice of Eeyore. In fact, for 25 years, Peter Cullen's film and television roles has been almost exclusively those two characters.

Almost exclusively. Jon Bailey did voice Optimus Prime in a couple Transformers miniseries.

They also ironically had David Kaye (Beast Wars Megatron) as Prime in Transformers Animated. That's the one from the Teen Titans animation people where they have huge chins.
