Xenonauts Alpha (v17.6) Partial Selective Playthrough

I'm doing a partial playthrough of the current build over at my channel. Since the game is, obviously, not yet complete, I'm going to cut out a lot of the stuff and leave only the juicy bits. Playthrough is with commentary and anyone can have a soldier or a tank named after them or whatever else can be named in-game if they feel so inclined. The first episode went live couple of hours ago and I'm going to use this thread to post the subsequent ones.

XENONAUTS #1: Please, Stand Up And Introduce Yourself To The Class

[video=youtube_share;ZILKabhJouI]

you could have just picked soldier #18 and had me in there

but me please!

Hey-o!

Another one of these!

Mind if I cut in?

Nice, as soon as a slot frees up (i.e. soldiers die a savage death) you guys are in.

Unless you want to go by another name, I'll put you as thothkins and Commissar Pancakes.

If it was EU1994, there would be a savage death before I finished this senten...oh, there's one now. Let's see how much death Xeno dishes out with it's current AI.

I'm in, even tough I think this won't go far.

Nice playthrough!

You can name one of the rocket launcher guys with my nick, let's hope he gets to kill some aliens before he dies.

Looking forward to another one!

Written down everyone's names. My gratitude in return for your interest. Death has been rather mild so far. Here's the second episode.

XENONAUTS ALPHA #2: The Old Desert Is Wise

Hey, are you still taking names? If you'd be so kind, could I be a sniper? That, or a guy using some kind of heavy weapon, like an LMG or a rocket launcher. Thanks!

I want to be the unarmed suicide scout! and I want to be cloned for every mission!

Oh sure Gorlom, it's the 1970s. Everyone and their muppet gets cloned these days. If it's not clones it's six million dollar people. Now, off you go into combat like a good unarmed suicide scout.... bwah, hah, hah

All the additional names have been written down (I'm not sure about Gorlom's request, though : ) ) and here's the new episode for all to enjoy and/or feel revulsion towards.

XENONAUTS ALPHA #3: Terrorooororororororrrr Pt1

Darn it foiled again

Is assisted suicide closer to suicide or closer to murder? if it's the former, could we have volunteers to "assist" Gorlom please?

Oh, apparently he wants wrapped in foil first.

It's closer to the latter.

Oh, apparently he wants wrapped in foil first.

Got it, unarmed, wrapped in tinfoil, killed every mission. Well.... at least foil is cheaper than tar and feathers these days.

Arg! To be continued!?!?!?!?!? Curse you cliffhanger!!

Ha, this is too good!

It's closer to the latter.

it is?! uh, oh. Why did they put "suicide" in the title of it!? would there be as much debate if it was called "sympathetic murder"? I think not. My back's going to be killing me after all that heavy lifting down to the cellar...

If your back kills you is that also a form of assisted suicide?

Sounds more like a murder in the first degree to me : l

And here's the second part.

I'd gladly like a meat-shield...er, I mean squaddie, named after me. Enjoy. Try not to rush me into my death too quickly unless I can take a bunch of aliens (or civilians) with me....hehe.
