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

    Get back to me in 4 weeks time, then I'll be able to actually do stuff. I'm interested but unable.

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

    ALWAYS WATCHING. I'm enjoying the stories guys. I'd join in if I had the time to develop a coherent one.

    All good, was simply bad timing. I'm just glad all is now well.

    The last time I said that to someone, it did not end well.

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

    I had the opposite on my last Classic Ironman runthrough. I had an excess of Snipers, and in my desperation for other classes, I took 3 Rookies on a mission to try and get a Support. Then this happened: The reward for the mission complete was a Captain level Sniper. You could consider me...

    And then they give him the one class that can't use pistols.

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

    Nope. No Second Wave options on that playthrough. Whenever I did, I seemed to lose horribly. Classic Ironman and all. Decided that Vanilla was the best way to go to beat that. That's the ability, but it says that partial cover is treated as full. That would imply that she'd have a defense of...

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

    You say that like it's a bad thing. I remember once relying on that happening when I suppressed an enemy, destroying the wall behind him and giving one of my other soldiers a view. It was risky, but less risky than letting them live for another turn. Although I have to admit, it is a bit OP...

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

    I was waiting for this one to show up. Essentially my Impossible playthrough. Here's an example of what happened regularly; Yeah. Kinzie did not have a fun day. I am in awe of your puns. In the words of the Dolphin Overlord, "That was you?!" So, we're talking about our experiences with...

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

    Happy Steam Summer Sale everyone! Speaking of tactics, I just got scared again by how intelligent X-COM's AI is. Storytime. I've had two instances where I've been straight-up outsmarted, rather than losing to odds. The first was during the first terror mission of my first Classic Ironman...

    In Soviet Russia, human eat you! "Sic 'em, boy! SIC 'EM!" That is actually really adorable. I feel so bad for hating them all this time.

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

    The last time I tried to play Classic Ironman in a nutshell. The last time I tried to play Classic Ironman in a nutshell. Yes, I am aware I said that twice. And no one has yet noticed the Thin Man's glasses? Also, it's really big (hue hue). Compare it to the Muton. Why is it so large? I don't...

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

    That sentence hurts my head. It probably makes sense, but I no understand. This is why I shouldn't do things like this when I'm tired. As for the age thing, I don't think it would be too much of an issue provided it wasn't ridiculous, like say a 2 year old or 105 year old. I'd actually say that...

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

    At first I was a bit concerned as to how I'd manage to get the Overseer to not immediately go "Yo X-COM, y'know this scientist person Exalt? Yeah. Better kill her or something." But I have an idea. In the words of Bain, "You'll see what I mean. I think you'll like it." ... I'm over dramatizing...

    Classic example is Leeroy Jenkins. Guy applied and never did anything. Waste of a good spot.

    SEASON 5 CONFIRMED. Ye of little faith. So we are waiting for the mod creators to finish it? Welp. Guess we'll be here till next year. Waitaminute. I just realized who I quoted. This is... unexpected. Welcome. But unexpected. Has he been watching this entire time?!

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

    Honestly, that's probably it. After all, we've kinda hijacked the Think Tank to converse like normal people. It was kinda ridiculous. No idea how he didn't sound like he hated it at the end of them. You've never played Payday 2's Framing Frame mission. It is nicknamed "The Friendship Breaker"...

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

    TEASER INCOMING Smith was actually originally Isaac's recruiter (you know, "Smith and Anderson", Matrix reference, similar appearance to a Thin Man, hue hue hue I'm a comic genius etc etc). Kinda awkward when someone else had him as a recruiter as well. As for the Overseer, if you want a...

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

    "Eva"? I see what you did there. I approve. Initially I was thinking that he'd do it at about the same time as ME3. But then Watchdogs happened. I don't think he's lost interest. But a break is warranted. I remain hopeful that I'll see the announcement vid any day. Even though I was still...

    Come on, people. Surely Zombie isn't the only person here to have played RE? And no, I still haven't played it.
