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

    As long as they still use the same e-mail address, they should get an email about the ordeal.

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

    I don't have any friends who play X-COM otherwise I would definitely buy it.

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

    I like the fact that you wrote that train journey bit before the actual encounter with the aliens as it helps you to understand the character's emotions better. I might have a go at this as well as I am currently wasting my time watching satelite tv in a caravan somewhere in Scotland on holiday.

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

    Overall the premise of the short story is very good but if I'm being very picky, I would say to include punctuation such as "tackles him to the ground choking the man" would be correctly punctuated with a comma before "choking." Again, this is me just being very picky but the environment that...

    Hell yeah, I've been cheering on EG and I'm really glad to see them make it into the top two.

    Do aliens even have reproductive organs? I don't see anything on those sectoids which could be used to reproduce.

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

    I vowed to not play X-COM for a month after my favorite heavy died. It was the base defence mission and there was just one cyberdisk left; I had hid my heavy in the left room near the end of the base. All of my squad was in good health (except my heavy who had 3 health left) but instead of...

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

    I agree with Taxon here; you can make a character who prefers to be alone but this shouldn't be reflected by you not interacting but acting very hostile in your interactions because I think that sometimes interactions are sometimes better for fleshing your character out rather than a journal entry.

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

    I do retract some of what I said but in my perspective, the solo written journal entries and applications were overall better done in general but there are other factors at work such as many soldiers died quickly and the one post rule also limited role-playing. This is not me saying that aren't...

    I felt like most season 4 rpers were actually chosen for their writing skill (which were amazing) however they weren't as confident with roleplaying therefore there weren't any serious relationships amongst them.

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

    Season 3 was my first rp and it was a really fun hobby I had writing journals but season 4 didn't have that same fun factor and I hope that season 5 is more like 3 and that I get picked obviously :D

    So is anybody looking forward to destiny? I personally am quite taken away with how much money has been put into the development of the game and the videos so far have been promising.

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

    I have been able to control my dark souls anger even though I do not consider myself as a patient gamer. My way of dealing with dark souls is to stop and let my rage cool down because you need a clear head for dark souls otherwise you'll find yourself dying at a very easy point because you're...

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

    One thing that really annoys me is that might sound weird is that absolutely love fighting games but I am terrible at them. I can barely land a simple combo on a fighting game and almost always have to play on the lowest difficulty. My problem seems to be my ability to not be able to do...

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

    I think he originally stopped the series because it was basically xcom overload with every day consisting of an xcom video so after he cools off a bit and when the game releases slow down, he's going to play.

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

    I plan on making my character quite dark. I am intending for him to be a scientist with little moral and ethical standards so expect him ripping apart live sectoids...for science of course. He is as ruthless to humans as he is to aliens by displaying immediate hostility whenever he encounters...
