  1. Dr. Bashir is really annoying.
  2. XCOM Enemy Unknown

    just killed a run voluntarily because 90% of my rookies became snipers, most of which had like 50 aim. So......screw that modifier!
  3. XCOM Enemy Unknown

    Ugh sectopods, can only imagine. Haven't had much luck starting over, keep getting unlucky wipes
  4. Let's Draw Video Games

    society6.com It's pretty simple, just need a paypal both to verify you are a person and get paid, you adjust prices yourself(it will ask how much you want to make and shows what their cut is). The quality and resolution of the image determine what sizes you can sell. If I remember right if you do sell it takes 30 days to receive payment, I'm assuming to make sure the customer is happy with the product.

    Thin men are harder than chrysalids and mutons. They can go to hell
  6. Watched the first ep of ds9, I too haven't seen much of it. The scenes between sisko and his wife were pretty painful to watch, not in a good way. I know I watched a decent chunk when it was airing but I don't remember much other than the characters.
  7. Walking Dead Season the Second

    At the same time though I feel like so much of the story hinges on season one in a plot and emotional sense. Just starting with season 2 would leave you less involved with clementine

    I'd probably work on getting your page out there, then think about adjusting prices once you get some exposure. I've been poking around society6 a little and seems like pages with few hits don't really show up when browsing by category. Though I could be wrong, I probably haven't looked under any categories where your stuff would appear. I put some of my paintings from last semester up on there and haven't had any luck besides a couple of nice comments. Though I'd totally understand people's lack of interest in mine. Of course the critical side of me dislikes my work the more I look at it.
  9. XCOM Enemy Unknown

    that is ridiculous.
  10. Who doesn't enjoy a good ghostmance. I totally forgot that episode existed, thanks for that!
  11. XCOM Enemy Unknown

    Yea, still though I was pretty happy with my run. Best run I've had by a longshot on classic.
  12. XCOM Enemy Unknown

    I've only seen bulletswarm once. I get smoke grenades and grenadier the most probably. 3 medkit use a couple times too. Just lost my game, though apparently compared to the world average I was doing pretty well.
  13. XCOM Enemy Unknown

    it was the water fountain one surrounded by cars. The second I tried to send the covert to disable a comm she got surrounded and had to fall back. The support I had lost was pretty much a heavy besides smoke grenades, had super high accuracy, suppression, bulletswarm, the +crit per enemy thing. She was a beast. Haven't had any assaults in a while. Right now I have a kinetic strike mec, a heavy/assault hybrid thing with mimetic skin, heavy/medic, a different support with 3 smoke, a sniper I just got. Everyone else is at squaddie level.

    I really should have not watched that.
  15. XCOM Enemy Unknown

    Yea, I still have 4 really good troops, but i did lose a colonel mec and my awesome support/heavy lady. Running two mecs was kind of destroying everything, but my melee mec was wounded before that mission. Probably would have cleared easy with him since they tend to line up for punches by themselves if you just sit in the capture area. Really my concern is keeping any more countries from withdrawing which could be rough. Basically just bad timing as I'm trying to use money to build more satellites and I was planning on putting some people through gene modification, which is harder now that I don't have much of a B-team anymore.
  16. XCOM Enemy Unknown

    Welp! exalt mission wiped a lot of my good men. Turns out it doesn't matter how weak they are if there's 20 of them and you have to defend the most open position on the planet. This is probably a game ender for me despite still having some solid troops.
  17. XCOM Enemy Unknown

    Same here, I rarely even get injured. I just kept getting supports thrown at me, so I had like 7 smoke grenades per battle, though I just lost a support. Down to 4! Overall though I'm doing pretty great, just have to work on getting more satellites up. Also I should probably look into actually capturing an alien at some point.
  18. XCOM Enemy Unknown

    I'm getting in a groove now. Haven't even invested in genetics at all yet actually, but going real smooth with a couple tier 2 mecs and most of my soldiers are nearly captain. Mostly just rolling over missions now, haven't lost anyone since the first month. Turns out having the ability to throw 4 smoke grenades really helps with people not getting shot. Got a weird roll with my heavy too who is pretty resilient, also is basically a medic while my support with the smoke grenades is filling the heavy role. Didn't notice this before but it's bizarre that one of the clues you get about exalt's headquarters is "you can play this country in Civ 5" Edit: whoops spoke too soon, lost my assault
  19. Cartoons!

    There's a couple episodes that directly depict the aftermath. Also a 2 parter that shows an alternate cataclysm date. There's never an explanation for the start, just that it's clearly a nuclear war. They start addressing it more directly in season 2 I believe
  20. XCOM Enemy Unknown

    Yea I still haven't cleared it, last time it popped I just ignored it completely because most of my men were injured. Current run going well, but everytime I think that I get murder trained by what is often the last alien on the map. Had my dumbest/funniest soldier loss on a panic mission, punched a chrysalid into a tank with my mec trooper, tank explodes and kills my support. Support comes back as a zombie for some reason for revenge!
  21. XCOM Enemy Unknown

    I've been mostly lucky on the supports getting healing stuff. Though I did have a sniper that could either take deep pockets or 3 medkits, so that was pretty great! I too have gotten in the habit of grenading things either in emergency or if the enemy decided that clustering together was a good call. Thin men are suddenly super dangerous apparently, Every single time it's come up I wipe on the convoy mission where you find a living exalt member and have to escort him, because again the thin men seem to be crackshots that crit on any angle or cover. Occasionally I get super bad luck with a soldier taking relatively minor damage, which somehow causes 2 or 3 people to panic and they die to a situation that should have been easy.
  22. ObjectiveGameReviews.com - A Subtle Journey of Discovery

    I kind of want the design of the score image to be a subtle goatse now.
  23. XCOM Enemy Unknown

    I've been trying that as well. Having only beaten the game on normal, turns out I'm a baby who is getting wrecked a lot. However at one point I did have a super tanky assault with all those defensive perks(besides crit immunity) that basically took no damage. Except for a game ending wipe to an outsider who was somehow built completely of critical hits, even one shot my assault.
  24. Feminism

    What the article kind of brushes over is that she never wanted to be on life support for any reason after seeing a family member go through that. So double yuck.
