Drakenel: Dec 2, 2008; The glow is a guide, my friend. Though it falls to you to avert catastrophe, you will never fight alone.

Stop paying attention to my logging in and out of steam friends to determine when I am recording. (A habit i picked up cause Guava steam bombed me in Borderlands)

But yeah, 4 videos worth recorded, LP Underway!

I'm not doing a play by play, relax.

Either way, looking forward to the casualty list.

monster on a stick: Apr 29, 2013

I used one of the squad size mods for my second run, and it broke the final mission - the extra soldier or two somehow got left behind at Seaworld and so I never got the victory/stats screens, just a focus on the poor sobs because of some hardcoded value the modders missed.

No, it works fine.

What needs to be fixed is soldier customization randomizing every time new armor is equipped.

Yeah this is super annoying. Watching my super sleek sniper soldier turn into a War Boy because I equipped a new armor set on him was very confusing the first time.

The pevious LP had haikus as a signup requirement, some of them were posted to the thread though. Additionally there has been an intermittent trend of haiku's in Jade's twitch stream chat.

I'm definitely a fan of ginger beer, but I don't have conisseur tastebuds. "Tastes more like ginger and less like sugar" is about as far as I go.

DARKEST-COM

In time, you will know
the tragic extent of my
failings, said Vahlen.

Welcome home. Squalid,
frozen lands, they are yours now,
you are bound to them.

I was lord of this
base, before snakes and hubris
made it their domain.

Fat from dissection
and luxury. Yet, tired
of observation.

Curiosity,
science, obsession, mile
marking damnation.

Let me share with you
the terrible results I
have come to know. -V
