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

    Very often I see something he could have done better, and yet he's still got a low casualty rate. This is one phenomenon I cannot solve. Not that the soldiers will be complaining.

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

    Unfortunately for me, I'll be unavailable until near the end of next week. Goin' bushwalkin' mate. I'm serious. Four days in Tasmania, cause cold is great. End result - if my scientist gets in, he'll have his entry late next week. Internet doesn't work where I'm going, and I don't have time to...

    Speaking of soldiers from other media... I always end up with a female heavy. All I'm saying.

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

    Why do I get the impression that he's about to start claiming that he's a "biotic god" - uh, sorry, "psionic god" - and "You should be in awe"?

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

    "When I said I wanted to study them up close, this wasn't what I meant!" I'm waiting for that awkward moment just before a mission where Odd looks at the squad and goes "Wait, Lukas, why are you wearing a lab coat?"

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

    My guess is the first episode. That's just a guess though, not even an educated one. This guess has been living it's entire life in a low-income household and couldn't afford to go to school. That's how much educated this guess isn't. ... kinda went a bit overboard with that metaphor, huh.

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

    Indeed, this is all just theories getting tossed around. They all have about the same amount of evidence going for them. (Not going to reference religion, not going to reference religion.) Whilst I wouldn't be inclined to explain the IFF ("Poor example. Hate using metaphors. Get a doctorate...

    Also physical similarities to ants. Kinda. Ok, not really. But insects tho. Frostlich makes a good point regarding the terror missions. Although the Uber at the end of the game mentions them being unpredictable and dangerous (basically something to the effect of "they could attack us too, but we...

    Happy New Year from Australia! Don't worry, it'll come to you soon. Liking all of these ideas. Interesting to see if Odd agrees.

    Last time that was done, Odd lost the game. :/

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

    Am I disappointed that I didn't get in? Hell yeah. Do I think that I was unfairly treated in any way shape or form? ... Bitch please. No way. Everyone who got in damn well deserved it. Congratulations, all of you! :) Noticed Dragonivon talking about getting in because of no competition...

    So that's what those glasses were. Regardless of me getting in or not, we'll be seeing some good stuff (that sounded less pretentious in my head.). Good luck to everybody, and if you don't get in, remember all you have to do is sponsor the aliens.

    That makes sense, actually. The more you know. Either that, or Vahlen was wrong about those glasses being purely for disguise.

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

    While we're speaking about ridiculous game mechanics, is it a feature that aliens can sometimes see and fire at you when you cannot see or fire at them? Encountered that twice today. Bloody Thin Men.

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

    Actually, funny story about that mission: I had Zhang in cover behind the group, and my support was in cover ahead of him. Zhang, however, found it necessary to ignore what I wanted him to do and ran straight through a poison cloud. He panicked, and ran straight back. I spent the next turn...
