Post should be up later today, just got to add on a last few hundred words and then edit it. Final Edit: Pushing in for the UFO Boarding mission, as long as I get to bring a larger than normal force of red-shirts to kill of-, I mean, accompany me on this dangerous mission.

Ideaaas~. Kidding, kidding. I'd wait until people got to know him better.

Alright, got Albert's recruitment file up, and I'll probably have Week -1 up by tomorrow or Wednesday.

A Flute Instructor at Miami University?

Figured I'd request access as well, to make things easier for the future.

Jesus, I go to Tijuana for five days, and this is what happens. You guys astound me, and I'll consider throwing my hat in, even if it is a bit late-ish. I'll probably drag up Albert Foulke for this, with a few updates to deal with the eased rules and restrictions.

I guess this is my big 'hey glad the site is back' message. Figured that I had to make all that time the site was offline look somewhat productive and come back with another entry to this little story I'm throwing together. Anywho, for future reference, I’ve taken a couple liberties with psionic...

If FFG's board games are anything like their role-playing games, then I will be able to die happy once I've played a few games of this.

One thing that always bothered me about XCOM was the boss fight. While it does provide closure for the plot, the final battle feels... lacking. So, to continue this trend of writing things, I present... BOSS FIGHT REWRITE! PART 1! December 31st, 2015 As I entered the debriefing room, so...

Was aiming angles on? That could explain it.

I was more so referencing UFO Defense in my post, but whatever. Hoo boy, reminds me of the first time I got the Tactical Rigging upgrade. YOU GET NEEDLE/STEALTH GRENADES. LOOK UNDER YOUR SEAT, YOU GET NEEDLE/STEALTH GRENADES! NEEDLE/STEALTH GRENADES FOR EVERYONE! Then I realized how...

Well of course he's having a problem, he isn't using a laser/plasma weapon. Those things tear through cover like a small child through wrapping paper.

I can top that, I've missed a grenade throw. I blame mods, as I had been fiddling with my copy of XCOM extensively, and I guess one that gave rockets the ability to fire after movement (can't remember where I found it for the life of me) must have put rockets under the same category as grenades...

I usually find that comedy is like the world. In going away from the direction you should be, you eventually end up where you were going, and you had a much more interesting and financially expensive journey, though you might be a few years late for that important job interview, and they instead...

I actually had a very easy time the first time I played that mission. Mostly because I had four MECs and two hover SHIVs, and was able to make quick progress by having the MECs guard the landing site and the SHIVs flew off to go secure the objective. Good thing Chryssalids can't fly. Now, Muton...

Well, it all depends on which game's mechanic is used. In Enemy Unknown, one could just kite Sora using 'move'n'shoot', occasionally tossing a grenade when the shot would be poor. Sora would probably die before the Muton would have to reload. Never underestimate a Plasma Rifle. However, if the...

Or in some cases, the next one on the cutting table, if you are spectacularly bad at the preparation.

While Chryssalids may not be on my menu, if they ever make a Terror From the Deep remake, I'd particularly enjoy a Lobsterman. Or seven. If only the Seekers were organic, we could have some nice calamari.

I just love that all of the other aliens are acting high-class and dignified, but meanwhile the Sectoid Commander is looking at his tea like he's contemplating how he's supposed to drink it without a mouth.

3rd issue: 6 man squad, no laser weapons/carapace armor despite being in vanilla XCOM.
