I don't even want to see what happens if you gain CHIM outside of a pre-coded system.

Had a fun bug happen on my most recent game. I had a specialist bleeding out,* so I had my one soldier stabilize them with the emergency medkit. Somehow, the specialist became selectable again, so I moved her to some cover. She snapped to her feet, ran over... and promptly flopped on her face. This happened each time I attempted to move her, each time followed by ~20 seconds of inactivity before I could start other actions.

Fix your game, Jake. Does anyone else have constant bugs, especially LOS issues, on story missions?

*stun lancer crits on a soldier he couldn't possibly see in the first place :argh:

The only time I have serious LoS issues is when when I inadvertently activate a pod that one of my soldiers can see one pixel of. I had a really obnoxious cutscene bug during my last Blacksite, where the cutscene where the containment tanks lower played every time a soldier moved inside the building itself.

I love that bug. I had a mission where my ranger would pop up, shoot, flop back down. Pop up, move, flop back down until I evacced at the end of the mission. In hindsight I should have had him stab something just so he could fall over afterwards.

I don't know man everytime I go to the gym here there are like two huge dudes with raging high and tights snorting Nitro-tech off of each other's rock hard abs.
My favorite bug from XCOM EW was grappling on top of certain crates somehow ragdolled you across the map.

My sniper ended up in impassable terrain on that weird docks map that I think was once the thinman tutorial from EU. She was surrounded by mutons and at least 3 moves away from the rest of the squad because I was trying to get her ontop of a crate at the edge of the grapple range. I think I was untargetable, because not one muton shot at me, but I could shoot out of the hole. I eventually had to grapple back out of the construction pit because trying to move would crash the game.

Those are bugs I like, they're hilarious. When enemies would spawn in the fog of war, but alerted, or the motion tracker showing targetable enemies for squadsight, but when you target them the fire button never fills in and mashing 1 doesn't work either. That's what pisses me off

Maybe I'm missing something down thread- but what are the pips at the bottom of the squad selection/mission recap scene for? They're usually full but once in a while they're missing one or two pips. I've been playing this game for a while, actually finished it a few times on commander level, but haven't noticed them until recently after a few months break from playing the game.

It's how much health a squad member has. If they're missing a pip, it's because it's either your SPARK, or it's a real special mission where you can take wounded people.

I know the real answer is going to be 'the pool' (also pools aren't hard, seriously people) but why does the hotel have chlorine gas with which to leak?
Chlorine gas is not something hotels should have.

Well, not in Canada.

It's possible they have containers of chlorine, and one decided to have a party.

Or someone decided to clean a toilet full of piss using bleach.

And, of course, you should never entirely discount the possibility of witches.

The Redblacks is my favorite sports team name ever. "Hey uhhh what do we name ourselves I've got no good ideas" "Hmmm, well what are our team colors" "YOU'RE A GENIUS"

edit: But I actually sympathize with the horrible results of Team-Naming-By-Public-Poll, because my local baseball team's name is The Corn Belters. It was almost the Stephen Coalbears (get it, coal bear = :colbert:) but they legally couldn't do it.

edit again: A close third was The Normal Nutz and in fourth I believe was The Normal Fellers (named after Jesse Fell, founder of Illinois State University). I really really wanted it to be the fellers because come on man.

No, that's not the name of the team. They're called the Ottawa REDBLACKS. The REDBLACKS. In all caps. Seriously. Also the CFL gave us the Tim Tebow CFL Chronicles, kind of, so it has to be good.

It's called the Seein' Tower. Even in their grandest achievements, the Canadian people are humble. They build this enormous structure in downtown Toronto that stands 3,200 meters off the ground -- that's about two miles -- and they give it a name like, "The Seein' Tower."

Well, they used to be the Rough Riders, but people confused them with the Roughriders even though the Roughriders are green and white and the Rough Riders are red and black. Totally different, unless you're colourblind and can't remember if it's a home or away game.
