Love Stole the Day

Please give me free quality professional advice so I can be a baby about it and insult you
When the game first came out, another guy made a thread like this and I really liked it. Now that it's on a Steam Sale, I figure that I might as well do it as well because I had so much fun in that thread.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/223830/ (currently 35% off) (sorry Dexters Secret, but not anymore)

I'll update the thread somewhere between "after every mission" to "daily" with screenshots and other information about how your soldier is doing, how they died, et cetera.

I plan to play this out until I either fail the game (I'm a beginner beginner to the XCOM-like games) or succeed or whatever.

The time frame for this thread that I'm expecting is about one week starting now.

I'll add people based on the order they appear in this thread. Let's see if this goes anywhere :coffeepal:

Direct Links to AAR posts:

:rory: 1st Operation AAR, where Simsense Cumshots suicide bombs himself for absolutely no reason.

:rory: 2nd Operation AAR, where gently caress Trophy 2k14 gives us a hint of his future greatness.

:rory: 3rd Operation AAR, where Contest Winner pries Okiemurse's sniper rifle from his cold, dead fingers.

:rory: 4th Operation AAR, where the Contest Winner saga comes to an abrupt, stupid end and gently caress Trophy 2k14 puts the loving team on his Herculean back.

:rory: 5th Operation AAR, where everything went great until we discovered that prefiring doesn't work on aliens when they open doors!

:rory: 6th Operation AAR, where the North American imps throw down their guns and run around in circles.

Alright, so I've assigned the names from top to bottom in the post order. The only person who I didn't have enough room for is Cuntpunch, unfortunately. If he's okay with getting a Jet named after him instead of a soldier like everyone else, I'll do that instead. Otherwise, I'll just keep the usual names.

For the sake of clarity, here's the difficulty I ended up choosing (reminder: my only experience with this game is 6 hours of XCOM: Enemy Unknown a few months ago).




Then they made me choose where to set up my base. North America had the most money in funding to offer at the start, so I guess it's there. I named the base "The Imp Zon" (because I fatfingered it when pressing Enter and I don't know how to edit the base's name so gently caress it):




... and here is the current roster as of right now:



... and here are the people so that you all can see how you look in the game (I just went with the default randomized stuff they gave me and slapped your names on):

Awwww yeah mlg pro snipa. I'm probably the only one that stands any chance of living through the first mission in this game. Look at those dead eyes. That dude has seen some poo poo...

Seriously, even then I'll be dead soon. Its brutal especially if you don't save scum.

Looking forward to the AAR, OP.

Edit: aw gently caress I'm GREEK? I'll probably spend the whole time on vacation collecting xcom paychecks until you go bankrupt.
