Veloxyll posted:If an extra $50 is worth more now than every month. So practically never unless you can't afford the uplink you had planned. I guess if you know it's going to be tight on the cash front, but that sounds super rare. I think the point is more, "Okay, I've got three sattelites queued up, but due to other expenses / EXALT attack, etc, I'm $50 short of paying for the actual uplink. I cancel one so I can launch the other two rather than building all three and not getting any money this month -- and next month, I buy the remaining sattelite to launch". Still niche but less insane than it sounds.

Take note of that comment on robots, on the second option. There's your price of admission paying for itself. The extra 5 Will and 4 HP don't hurt, either.

Clearly the sectoid commander was just all tuckered out from his preliminary interrogation from Dr. Vahlen, and was taking a nap, not actually dead yet. She's kind of creepy and can wear anyone out with the talking, after all.

Veloxyll posted:Usually you get 2 or 3 clues that eliminate continents before it starts throwing out the "not in x" specific ones, I thought. I think you mean "how EXALT will be swimming in cash", given his luck.

Better: "The EXALT base is not in Mexico. The EXALT base is not in the United States. The EXALT Base is not in North America." Well... thanks, I guess. v: My point is more "...you couldn't have scratched all three off the first time? That continent-clue is no better than a country-clue. Jerks."

Sectopods' automatic reactive shot is such bullshit when you first run into it. You see them go into overwatch when you trigger them and think okay, they work like anyone else. But then they don't Overwatch and still reaction shot. They just overwatched because they couldn't run for cover. Pricks.

I consent to this on one condition: Your highlight reel must include every BOOSH, with vocal accompaniment. More seriously, yeah, we've basically seen everything the aliens have to throw at us short of the final mission, so there's not much point showing, editing, etc, the entirety of every episode. Snag the highlights and let's approach the conclusion. Nekomimi-Maiden fucked around with this message at 08:56 on Jan 9, 2015 |

And Weinhard's is probably my favorite root beer, personally. Smooth, not super-sweet, just flavorful enough.

This also applies to the Player's Lightning Reflexes, which can be gained on Assault, Scout, and Pathfinder [Scout MEC]. Because a MEC running cross-country dodging all the shots to boosh a guy in the face is just glorious.

notZaar posted:In the stream it still said 90% chance to hit though. A guaranteed rocket hit sounds pretty nice. As GhostStalker says, it has a 90% chance of choosing that one spot and veering around obstacles to smack into that one spot, and a 10% chance of choosing a spot perpendicular to the barrel and blasting apart your three guys in cover, exposing them to the muton elites about to shred them.

My estimation is that the end mission ethereal is bluffing; the aliens thus far aren't a doomsday army, but an expeditionary force. So XCOM beats the aliens poised around the earth, celebration, yay... ...and then a massive disturbance in a few months. A battleship parked over every council nation capital city. Death rays from above. Immediate total capitulation of the world, because XCOM only proved to the aliens that they needed to come /in force/. The aliens then speak through their allies - Advent - and make grand promises of improving humanity now that it no longer has been "confused" and "tricked" into fighting against them. Twenty years pass since Unification, humanity thinks everything's great because the aliens are being extremely sneaky with their suppression tactics - vanishings of noisy people rather than terror attacks, etc. XCOM reforms by whatever means to rise up as a guerilla insurgency. I'm just a little hype. Also, fix your LP Jade Star. [Looking forward to the next few episodes!]

Wow. Fix your game. Also, I'm kinda sad the cutscene didn't play with the ethereal being sent on to the skyranger with the other soldiers. "You're one of us now! Go!"
