Here's to 60+ more kills! :black101:

Nice, here's hoping to see that legendary bad rear end again. I sent in the son of James Dean. Can the "Rebel"'s son blow up as many aliens as his pappy could with high explosives?

I'm excited for this LP since this game apparently isn't coming out on consoles. Also, application sent, hoping my guy shows up and doesn't get rocketed into the sun just because I wanted him to look like EXALT.

lookin' forward to MECing up and doing this again:



Ahaha, oh man, that was a thing. Too bad about there being no possibility of getting mec'd, but from the looks of it there will be other awesome things to come. Perhaps made by you, if your Chris Salid picture was anything to go by.

Man, it's like the old endgame crew is getting back together! Now we only need Isis "Saint" Tellar, Alex "Shellshock" Johnson and... oh.

Tony "Kill Steal" White. Rest in peace, buddy. :rip:

Hah! I've cleverly avoided this by sending him a .bin file of Nittien. I assume he'll be too lazy to actively mess with the colors.

I even included a background blurb as a nod to our non-canon past.

Tony never died. The final mission never happened and we didn't even get to play with that sweet sweet plasma tech. All that was some fevered alcohol induced dream of how things could have been. He's still out there waiting for his chance for redemption.

Hey, he died in our hearts man, in an apocryphal story about what it would take to save all of mankind. That fanfic was the tale of ages for our weary resistance fighters. An alternate history project, to illustrate how things might've been if our govts hadn't just bent over backwards in the face of the alien oppressors! Stand up for yourself and you too can be a selfless psychic badass hero like Tony White probably would have been!

XCOM 2 playthrough-related:
I bought all of the DLCs yesterday, and I have this to say about how they're interacting with my current (early-to-mid-game) run: Oh poo poo. Oh holy poo poo. Oh god, why. You son of a bitch, Jake. You son of a bitch.

So here's to Jade running the same gauntlet! Incidentally, turns out you can kind of kite muton berserkers. Thus, a haiku and a picture:

Berserker rampage
Thank god for grenadiers
And friend gravity



There was something DLC-related there as well, but spoiler policy forbids me to speak of it. I'm just amazed I made it out. And that what remains of that roof is still standing.

I tried but the character already existed and the game won't let you remove nicks from those who already have it. :(
I'll recreate the character from scratch without a nick... tomorrow. If I don't, just take him off the list.

Dont worry about it if you already submitted it. I too ran into the problem of not being able to delete a nickname entry. I hadn't considered you were exporting a premade soldier that had already been ranked up through gameplay and thus already had a nickname.

For those of you wondering about the character pool, as of this post i am 71 entries in and i swear that 50% of you picked the laid back attitude. and about 40% of you picked twitchy. So i am concluding that goons are either too lazy to worry about anything, or anxious as gently caress about everything.

i did the same thing, whoops!
bizarrely it looks like there's no way to remove a nickname, even via mods. i thought i'd be clever and just open the file in notepad and delete the nickname that way, but that just makes the character not show up for import all together.
