    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    Long War is in beta 6 right now, and a bit buggy. Beta 7 is supposed to be out soon(tm) and includes a new weapon type (carbines) as well as other tweaks and fixes. I haven't been following it closely myself, that's just info I've gleaned from the XCOM subreddit. Personally, I'd like to apply...

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    So, I was bummed out when Chen died, and disappeared from here, but then I thought, "I wonder how the XCOM RP is proceeding? Let's go take a look." And then it's "Uhh.. 400 new posts in the Think Tank." I still read through it all. And skimmed the videos on the appropriate days. Man, that went...

    X-COM Season 4 Role-Play Journals

    Before Operation Demon Mother Zhang was called into action, merely hours after he was picked up from Beijing and dropped off the alien artifact with the science team. He requested a machinegun and a rocket launcher, the biggest weapons they had on issue, despite the fact that while he had used...

    Sure. Let's work out something. I don't know if I qualify as "regular" I just showed up for this season.

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    I just realized that there's only about eight hours between the Council mission where two died, and then we have the abduction in Brazil. Chinese food night is not going to be for breakfast. It'll have to happen afterwards.... assuming Ryan survives.

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    RP PROMPT The night before the next mission goes out, Ryan is taking over the cafeteria for Real Chinese Food Night (TM). All are invited to sample true Chinese cuisine, from simple bok choy vegetables and pork fried rice, to the esoteric stuff like roast duck feet and pig intestine. Whole fish...

    X-COM Season 4 Role-Play Journals

    Squaddie Ryan Chen, Assault Specialty. Personal Log, April 18th So, I've managed to get a good spot to stuff the ... er, souvenirs I've accumulated the two times the Commander sent me out. Now I just gotta figure out who the hell I can trade them to. Things around the base have been getting...

    Only until I bring Bradford in on my operation and suddenly all these reports are saying "smuggling? what smuggling?"

    Bumblebee would be cool, actually. I could have Ryan do some showings of all of the Transformer movies... on loops... while Lamarque is stuck in his hospital bed.... with his limbs just out of reach...

    Cruel yes, but it's the kind of joke you make to a *live* friend's face. He survived after all.

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    I agree on Wildchild. I would have suggested some kind of berserker-themed nickname, but that just works. But Caliban? Hmm.. What do we nickname our big hurt tin can? ... Oh man, I feel like Ryan would start referring to him as "Scrapheap," given the state that he came back home in. Morbid...

    Would be funny, but that was Largo who blasted out Ryan's eardrums.

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    Crap, you know what? I totally forgot I was going to address odd's RP direction. We need to come up with a nickname for Kuklinski! The default random one he got is "Papa Bear" which is meh. I did hear odd say he was gonna start calling him "Kukkles" which is randomly amusing. What else is...

    X-COM Season 4 Role-Play Journals

    Ryan Chen, Squaddie. Personal Log, April 8th, continued. Holy hell, now there's vanishing flying squids? I've seen some... err.. movies about things like that. I don't like where this whole alien invasion thing is going now. Now I'm glad I got a shotgun. These suckers like to sneak up on us...

    Could also be routers not allowing connection. Might have to open ports.

    Which is why I was happy to see Ryan get replaced for Portent. XP
