Re: Hey, everybody else has started a let's play and abandoned it. Lets Play X-Com!
Outstanding. I think. I don't actually know, since that was the first Let's Play! I ever followed (and sometimes participated in).
Point is, that was great.
Honorary mention to BRC for the X-Comics, by the way.
There are some funny things about the portraits which I never figured out. But it usually works when you just take one of the original portraits or one from a mod and copy-paste whatever you want in it (then merge the layers if your image-editing software created a new one) and save the result as a new file.

Re: Hey, everybody else has started a let's play and abandoned it. Lets Play X-Com!
And thus ends the period that historians will know as the Awesome Age. I hope everybody liked the X-Comics as much as I liked making them. Congrats to Chia for a Lets Play of truly epic proportions. Sombody should collect all the log entries and preserve them for posterity. If you want to do the same with my X-Comics, that would be awesome.
As for the Aliens, I am disappointed that they failed to accept the glorious society I offered them, they'll come around eventually I'm sure...

Re: Hey, everybody else has started a let's play and abandoned it. Lets Play X-Com!
Greatest LP I've ever read (only LP I've ever read, but that doesn't matter).
Outstanding job Chia! (yes I finally figured out who it was *duh*).
Really amazing.
Also I think the X-comics should definitely be preserved alongside this.
I can't express how great this is in words.Character(s)

Re: Hey, everybody else has started a let's play and abandoned it. Lets Play X-Com!
I quite like me fate. I didn't die.
We only have 2 more pages before this closes though. I hope whichever mod closes it reads it at least.
If we want this archived at the Let's Play Archive I'm not sure if we can do that, as they seem to only record Let's Plays from Something Awful. However, they do give an email address to submit questions to under the FAQ. The also give an account to PM if you have a platinum account there, so if someone does, please ask if they can archive this one, assuming this is to Chia's liking.
TV Tropes doesn't seem to show that there's another archive in existence, but we could always but the link there and see what comes of it.
We could make our own archive as well, or try to find another one.It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.
If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).
The best answer is always to ask your DM.
Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

We could have it catagorized as a landmark so that the government will pay to keep the servers running, and we won't need another purge.

Re: Hey, everybody else has started a let's play and abandoned it. Lets Play X-Com!
Uh...no idea. They may not even be in an accessible folder in BG1, come to think of it. I don't really know, since I don't have it installed - or rather, only as part of the trilogy mod.
Anyway, I'd just download a mod and edit one of the portraits that come with it. Like this one. Save it in the same format and everything should work.

Man, I go to sleep, and when I wake up, I realize I missed the most epic moments of this Lets Play.
Sorry chiasaur for getting you killed. I promise I'll make it up in the Terror from the deep thread. I'll stop making fun of you from making Gauss weapons from now on.

Re: Hey, everybody else has started a let's play and abandoned it. Lets Play X-Com!
Under the Redshirt trope, we could stick X-COM Troopers, tanks, Interceptors, and Sectoids. Copper would be one of those Mauve Shirts, the redshirts that survive long enough to get a little bit of background.

Whoa whoa whoa, I was too good at not dying to be close to redshift material!
That said... Oh my god. This LP... was probably one of the best......... THINGS to ever exist. Chia, you are without doubt, THE man. I'm honored my name exists in this thread. This has been great in every way. I have to stop typing stuff like that before I go on forever about the levels of epic that have been reached here?
That said, in the final, non-epilogue post, what happened there when you said my name and there was laser fire? Did I kill xeno scum? Or was the fire from something else?My last breath... ...is also my mintiest...

Man we need to get this stickied as an example of what Let's Play threads should be. Well I'm a little sad I couldn't serve a more valuable role in this but it was fun to read. Maybe they'll make a subforum for completed let's plays so they can archive them and not clutter up the first page with completed let's play threads.

::Raises a toast (naturally) to Chia, BRC, and everybody else who contributed flavor text, or even just encouragement to this Epic LP::
CHEERS!I have my own TV show featuring local musicians performing live. YouTube page with full episodes and outtake clips here.
I also have another YouTube page with local live music clips I've filmed on my own.
Then there is my gaming YouTube page with Kerbal Space Program, Minecraft, and others.
Finally, I stream on Twitch, mostly Kerbal Space Program and Minecraft.

Re: Hey, everybody else has started a let's play and abandoned it. Lets Play X-Com!
And so does the epic thread end. It was a beautiful journey - except for all the dying in plasma fire, civilian massacres, stuff like that.
And now I can finally work on my beloved projects as a free scientist, and not X-Com's lapdog. Good riddance. I won't miss even my ludicrous monthly pay - I made sure that 10 plasma rifles "accidentally" disappeared when I left. That should make some nice cash on the weapon market. The buyers won't be amused when they discover that unlike laser, these require ammo. But I don't care - they can direct their constructive criticism towards the first prototype two legged HWP, Lopez Jr.
And I hope not to get dragged into another alien war 40 years later. Fortunately, chances are slim for that. Really, what are the odds?
