Yeah, but he got legit criticism about his writing, too. It... wasn't very good. IMO he should play to his strengths and stick to making great mods.

Oh well. I guess Speedball could take a crack at that whenever he feels up to it. He did start it back in the Peace-Walker thread so he had some kind of idea (albeit, he didn't seem to be going for narrative).

To be fair, nobody wants to make Speedball go back to Civ V, he's already got over 1000 hours in it and last I heard of it, he was getting really burned out on it.

1275 hours. Plus I'm not sure I can top a cultural victory that has two men fighting each other with martial arts and music atop Outer Heaven. Beyond Earth's out too, because for now the game's not... it's not feature-rich enough for me to show off lots of neat interlocking strategies. It's over-flexible, to the point that the factions are not distinct from each other at all. Endless Legend might be in the cards, too, but it'll be later.

Hey! I'm replaying XCOM because of this LP! I've actually started to tweak my unit's around a bit because of you. I have to say though, given the either/or/both option of Genetics or Cybernetics, I chose Genetics every time. Probably because I play with the Skill Roulette and Cybernetics ignores that.

(Though I imagine at least some of us are aggravated by the lack of updates everyone is to polite to say that, which I think is a good sign. I'm saying this as I just like to speak my mind.)

Actually, my other fanbase came to me and shot me nearly 50 encouraging messages on one page. So I've been taking it easy and letting that sink in, examining my life and so on. I'm feeling a lot better now, just not at 100%. VV: For the other thing I do. It is totally a freaky coincidence that Greg was scripted to face a demon that forces you to relive unbearable emotions right when I was facing something similar. Fortunately, he's also scripted to snap out of it shortly. Speedball fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Feb 4, 2015 |

Now that the ball is rolling, I can spend time and mental energy on XCOM as well. I plan on updating XCOM tomorrow, see if I don't. Now that the Sectoid Commander is dead and psychic powers are going to be researched, things are only going to get weirder from now on. And they're already pretty drat weird!

I've started playing Enemy Within, and probably the weirdest part of it, for me, is how my MEC's voice clips have changed. He went from your standard efficient soldier type to saying lines like "damage within acceptable parameters" and "resources are depleted" with this weird robotic distortion on his voice. My guess is he always wanted to be a cyborg, and now that he is he feels he has to imitate Robocop. Neeeeerd.

Well, the 'Speedball' name comes from how when he takes a hit above a certain 'speed' he gets a 'ball' of kinetic energy to redirect it. Then Civil War happened, and the formerly happy-go-lucky hero was reworked into pain-powered suffering-magnet Penance, which people are gradually trying to claw back because it was a really really terrible idea. Unless we're talking about an entirely different Speedball...

Part 27: Spoils of War  Are you sure that wasn’t just a part of its illusion? Positive. I would have died without Allen. Looks like she saved us all. I know it’ll be impossible to prove to anyone, but… Don’t worry. I’ll give Carol Allen as many posthumous awards as I can get my hands on.  Great job, everyone! Woo! Yeah! You’re awesome! We kicked those aliens back to Uranus! Don’t you think this is a bit premature? Hey, we just blew up the enemy’s only base and killed their leader. I’d call that a win, doctor. They come from outer space. There’s more of them. I don’t follow. We’re on Earth, not outer space. *sigh* Don’t worry, I’ll explain it to him in baby steps later. So, what’s this glowing orange thing the Sectoid Commander was guarding? Um…it’s orange… Oh, god… Well, it broadcasts energy. It’s not a weapon, so we think it’s some kind of communicator. If the Sectoid Commander was talking to anyone, it was either its fleet or its masters. Once we spend the time cracking its secrets we might be able to get much more detailed information on UFOs, and find the true source of the invasion. I see. How about our prize corpse? Its brain is fascinating. If we could replicate the effects it was able to generate, we’d have— TELEPATHIC SOLDIERS! YEAAAAH! Ahem. Yes. At the very least, we could engineer a way to interfere with the effect to make sure it could never happen again in the future.  Excellent work, XCOM. The council… is very pleased. About ten percent of the people kidnapped were able to be rescued and recovered. Hundreds of people will be going home to their countries. Their leadership… is celebrating, with good cause. Leroy, you’re promoted. I’m running out of promotions to give you people… Hey, no complaints, sir! And since I like backing other people up I’ll just be second-in-command to Cam. Probably won’t be long before Mimi’s a Colonel too… Now for the bad news. Everyone who went in that base is on leave for the next week or two.  What?! As a precaution to make sure there isn’t any residual mental contamination. Once you check out, ladies, you’ll be back to kicking rear end. In the meantime, we’ll have everyone else doing their thing.  I’m sorry about your friend. If you want to cry about it over a couple of medicinal beers, I’ll be right here. Thanks, Mom. Well… I guess you’re gonna be doing your thing out there without me. Just be careful, okay? You don’t have any gene mods to regenerate you when they spit poison in your face or shoot at you with superheated green poo poo. I’ll be fine, kid. Enjoy your break. I hunt ghosts all the time in Germany, shooting a few corporeal aliens will be a breeze. …you… you what? Oh, they didn’t clear you for that intel? So, since I’m off the team for now, I guess it’s time to relax with a little pool. Ohhh no, little lady, you can’t fool me. I know hustlers. What’s a hustler? …this is gonna be good. I warn you. The world’s best sniper needs no rifle… only a pool cue. Look at all this new stuff for us to research! Sadly, Commander, we’re not going to learn much new from all this. What? Bullshit. What about those alien pods we found all the people in? They’re identical to the tubes we meld our soldiers in. Nothing new there. Surely their surgical bays— Roboticized, but nothing really revolutionary compared to what our own basic scalpels and respirators are capable of. We have no idea what they were storing human meat for, either. This is a bust. drat! But the strobing thing at the top of their base had to be important too, right? It’s just a holographic screen-saver for an alien video game. Son of a BITCH! Fine. We’ll sell it all to the Gray Market. But we’ll play it up as much as we can, see if we can’t get a few fighter jets worth of money out of those stingy bastards.TO BE CONTINUED! quote:
