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

    True, I might end up applying for one of the positions, just depends on if I can find the spare time to design another character. Either way, congratulations on being chosen Dragonivon :) And I look forward to seeing some great posts

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

    Well, pretty disappointed that I didn't make it but I can't disagree with any of his options. They were all good applicants so I feel pretty good about it. Still looking forward to reading the roleplays and seeing my first (live I guess the word would be) season of XCOM ROLEPLAY

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

    Actually speaking of which, I'm interested to get you guys opinion on something. Sorry if it's already been discussed haha Despite being in a Game Design Course, I'm somehow the only person I know whose actually played both the original X-COM's and the remake, so what did you guys think of the...

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

    Yeah, it's XCOM, there'll be immature soldiers making pretend forts out of the filled body bags before the end of the second episode... first episode if the Chrysaliids are in a bad mood.

    Try living in England. I WISH we had heat or snow, all we have is basically a mini hurricane and enough rain to fill the city of Rapture. I'm not even joking, we had to dismantle the greenhouse in our yard because it kept threatening to fly off or break yesterday XD

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

    Yeah I know what you mean, but I can understand the reason behind it. the whole X-COM is better, SGC would be nigh helpless without them thing was sort of realistic if you ask me. I mean the SGC may have had well-trained troops, but they seemed to have a couple of dozen soldiers max. I mean I...

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

    Woah woah woah, what was wrong with XSGCOM? I thought it fit together perfectly, the way that it combined the two wars fit well as well as keeping a good balance between keeping the Aliens a threat but showing that the XCOM were much better off after joining the SGC. Don't get me wrong, there...

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

    I prefer the way XSGCOM dealt with the after war technology boost, basically without an alien threat to fight, the UN refused to continue funding XCOM either cutting it off completely or severely cutting the budget. So the sneaky accountants and legal teams in XCOM formed a corporation. MarSec...

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

    $20,000 a month... on the off chance they survive the invasion X-COM troops are going to be very well looked after haha Even if you say the invasion only lasted 6 months (average length of my original xcom games), that's $120,000 plus the forty grand sign up bonus ... Not bad ... I'd volunteer

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

    We're waiting for Christopher to upload a video where he goes through his and his wife's favorite applications, then presumably they will name the people who are initially selected in the video. WHEN he posts the video is known only to Christopher but my guess would be a few days before Sunday...

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

    I am really glad I wasn't the only one being bugged by that haaha. The SoaSE player in me was rumbling Whiplash, Thats sort of what I like to think, I just find the idea of a Muton being so dumb that he just stares at the Assault's shotgun mulling over whether or not to dodge long enough for...

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

    Yeah, it's in the Application's first post I believe and in the Pledge, that Commander Odd will be making the decisions ("If your character is made into a Mech or a Geneticly Modified Soldier, they had no choice, they gave up that choice on joining X-COM") and I'm guessing Panicing will be...

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

    I suppose that makes sense, I admittedly don't know much about the CIA, not being from America. My thoughts were more along the lines of the working undercover part, a seasoned military grunt (no offence intended to JohnnyKnights character) is less James Bond/Alex Rider, more Duke Nukem/Arnold...

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

    It's well presented, easy to read. For the most part I liked it but I have to agree with Thenlar, it displays the character as too 'perfect' I couldn't find a single bad remark about him, not that a character needs to be bad to be enjoyable but a flawed character is always more interesting then...

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

    I get the feeling SHIV-Five and HK-47 would become good friends haha, come to think of it with Enemy Within, I could get behind the idea of the Mech 'bodies' having a cowardly AI, talking to the person wearing the suit... "You want me to go WHERE? oh hell no, they're shooting at us!" Yeah, like...

    Thank you to the three that criticized my application; Brian, Glad you liked it, I noticed that there wasn't a large number of events happening as well, something I would have liked to expand on but thanks to real life (Personal Statements for Uni are a pain in the ass to write, hopefully 8th...

    I would appreciate some feedback on my application if anyone has the time. Always looking for good criticism :D Personally I would have liked to go more in detail with his IC personal history, not just his career but I was pretty happy with it overall so hopefully I will get to go through it in...
