But he'll try. And he'll thwack away for hours, then days, always hoping for some response indicating pain to soothe his growing fury, only to, finally, collapse, leaving X-Com Earth without a leader.
So I volunteer to tell him. I can use the workout, really. All the time riding the bench here can't have been good for me.

Re: Hey, everybody else has started a let's play and abandoned it. Lets Play X-Com!
Surely you're at least taking Copper into the fiery deathtrap of space with you, right?
Off topic a bit, how can you even play this game? I tried installing the windows version in order to kill some alien scum, but the screen scrolls much faster than my mere human reaction time can match, even with the speed tuned all the way down.
Is this a common problem? And if so, is there an easy fix that I'm missing?

Hey Guys, Chiasaur made me make a power Armor template, so I figured I might as well use it.

These comics are awesome!
But something was bothering me for a while, and now I know what.
Your mutons have green faces and purple bodysuits. Shouldn't it be the other way around?Last edited by Cubey; 2009-07-29 at 06:42 PM.

Re: Hey, everybody else has started a let's play and abandoned it. Lets Play X-Com!
My theory is that they were not your standard Mutons at all!
Perhaps some offspring of the legendary Muton Commander, who appears only in the intro, along with other implausible fairytales, like the Guy Who Can Jump Really High and the Guy Who Can Mow Mutons Down With An Autocannon?

Re: Hey, everybody else has started a let's play and abandoned it. Lets Play X-Com!
Oh yeah, and in case somebody doesn't know what I'm talking about with the Muton commander and all, here is the intro.
A few comments:
0:16 I am Muton Commander, hear me ROAR! (no such rank/race combo in the game)
0:21 Why are the Mutons firing laser weapons? Isn't that human technology?
0:27 Is it just me or does this guy look like a vampire?
0:46 Oh my God! Where did the rest of my body go?!
0:47 Let's grab our Rifles! It's a great choice against heavily armored endgame aliens!
0:56 X-Com is GO!
0:59 I can jump really high which does not change the fact that my weapon is totally ineffectual!
1:01 Three Mutons killed with a starting weapon! Bet you didn't see that coming, huh?
1:12 Crappy earlygame guns AND Personal Armour? Does not compute!
1:16 Let's teleport back to the Terror Ship, like we totally can not do in the actual game!
But there is one thing that's actually more realistic in the intro than in the actual game - the Mutons didn't bring their terror units along. Their comic relief antics would just ruin the race's reputation as a serious alien menace.Last edited by Cubey; 2009-07-29 at 07:09 PM.

In character, I can't help but be shaken by that comment. I don't want to be the only one left!

Re: Hey, everybody else has started a let's play and abandoned it. Lets Play X-Com!
Well guys... its been... a unique experience working with all of you. When my mom told me to sign up, she planned on me just going through basic training and finding a nice girl. Of course, I received no training for this job, and I don't think there's a single female on this team, but whatever. You guys are some of the oddest people I've met, and to be honest... this has all been hell, and will take years of therapy to forget. But... do I want to forget it? I'm sure that after this is all over, I'll come out a different person... and I want to take this time to tell you all that you're the closest things I've had to friends in awhile, even between the beatings and mind rapes and accusations of being alien spies.
And I don't envy you idiots going to Mars. Seriously.
Yes. Do this. This would be a great way toremember those who will undoubtedly diecommemorate our many... "adventures".Last edited by The Dark Fiddler; 2009-07-29 at 07:26 PM.

Re: Hey, everybody else has started a let's play and abandoned it. Lets Play X-Com!
You know, I've always been amazed how poorly this intro fits the mood and style of the entire rest of the game.
Not to mention that in the earlier shots one can clearly see them carrying plasma rifles. Only once they start shooting it gets wonky.
Not to mention, who explicitly are resistant to this type of weapon and have more health than a tank!
You know what you doing. Take off, all X-Com. Move Avenger. For great Justice.LGBTitP Supporter
