Well, I guess old Al' won't get to join XCOM, unlike his brother in Season 2. Congrats to all you who did get in however, and hopefully you make Odd's choices' good ones. Side note: I'm grabbing Shen, since I didn't see any applications for him.

To be honest, I liked the switch from 14 to 4-6 troops per squad, though I do have a couple gripes with it, mainly for gameplay-story integration reasons. During the time I played UFO Defense (only a couple meat-space months), I tended to get attached to my soldiers. Very attached. So, when a...

Or wondering where that Berserker went right as it pulls a Kool-Aid Man and mauls one of your soldiers. Are those dates using the normal calendar or the Valve calendar?

In classic XCOM, pay for soldiers was 40k USD up front and 20k USD every month (both tax-free, from what I've heard). So, assuming similar money scaling (though soldier expenses don't show up on finance screen, so maybe being held in reserve in case XCOM goes pear-shaped and money is...

Sorry about that, kind of assumed that everybody here had either watched Chris' LP of the Bureau/played it already, my mistake. Sadly, seems these forums lack spoiler capabilities.

[Bureau spoilers below] Speaking of the Bureau, personal theory of mine is that Carter's Ethereal never truly left Earth, but took the time to mature and grow in power. Then, when the New Ethereals came, the Old Ethereal found the Commander of XCOM, and did the same thing it did to Carter, only...

Just a quick update on why I haven't posted anything recently. Internet went down last week, just got it fixed earlier today. I'll likely get journals for the last several missions, as well as the memory logs and a couple other things done in the next couple days, provided school doesn't perform...

[The same message as previous logs applies here. Second post of my big update, two entries.] May Ninth, Two Thousand and Fifteen Dear Onkel, The aliens seem to be taking their time with their ground assaults. They have the advantage of technology and manpower, why are they not abusing it? The...

[The same message as previous logs applies here. Also, apologies on the wait. To make up for it, there shall be two entries in this post, and two in the next as well.] April Twenty-first, Two Thousand and Fifteen. Dear Onkel, It seems that there is another large void between my letters. With...

This might seem a bit excessive, but I happened to roughly reference where the various hangars are in relation to the world, and all of the hangars are in places that would be considered the middle of nowhere, aside from the one in Europe, which is in the portion of Russia that is just to the...

[The same message as previous logs applies here.] April Fifteenth, Two Thousand and Fifteen Dear Onkel, It seems I have been having trouble writing you letters as of late. Perhaps recalling my past as that psychologist said was not the greatest of ideas. It makes me think of you as well and...
