X-Com: Enemy Unknown (Hold on to your butts)

[Spook Island]

It only took them 19 years, but the greatest game of all time just got a remake.

It's now officially on steam for preorder with bonus content and a team fortress 2 Guile haircut for soldiers.
Just picked it up myself.

Looks fancy.

I like spookisland more and more every day.

Seriously though, pretty hype.  I don't know, I hope they came a long way from shooting black blobs, I'll go check it out.  If its even half the game the original was, it should be fun.

EDIT:  Just watched the Last Stand trailer.  I didn't realize Firaxis was making it.  Its gonna be godlike.

When I first read about this game, I wasn't sure how I'd like it since I read that it was turn based. However, the vids on it and the gameplay look awesome. Definitely considering this game.

I downloaded X-com recently for a quick play through.

because earth is 70% water?

More so I'm talking about the ufo doing figure eights over my base in the middle of friggin' Russia only to b-line for the nearest ocean when I intercept them.

Thanks for the first grade science lesson though.  I dropped out just before, in kindergarten.  I unfortunately picked up cigarettes, cocaine, and loose women as my new time passers.  It was hard to reintegrate into society after that.  Especially with having missed first grade and never knowing the Earth was 70% water.  People just couldn't take me seriously when they found out I didn't know.

DON'T SALT THAT WOUND!!

select the max distance in the intercept screen, minimize and go back to 5x time while waiting for it to go back over land.

Yeah I started a game where I roll with the punches, because I'll admit, when shit went wrong I'd reload.  I'd like to justify it as "within reason", but its totally cheating, haha.  So far so bad, 2nd terror mission didn't go so hot.

I played a lot of X-Com in my day, but I never became one of the dudes who can beat the final mission in 1 turn, with maxxed out mind control dudes.  Laser Rifles, Heavy Plasma, and human intelligence are where its at.

Got it on preorder after all the hype from RPS, very much looking forward to it.

Got my guile haircut in tf 2 so I've been rocking that all day.  The alien hat looks awesome with the pyro vision goggles.  Spook is pleased.
