  1. Geoscape is very laggy still, and I have a very fast computer. The air combat is nice and smooth, but I can never even load the ground combat it seems. I'll wait awhile longer to see if it loads it though, then edit this with result.

    EDIT: Never loaded, just said "Loading... This make take awh-" then before I finished reading it, it black screened.

  2. A problem I found is, when engaging in battle it says the usual, "this may take awhile", but then it black screens. I've waited for awhile and it still hasn't loaded. Also the game goes from very laggy to super fast. I am on a 2008, Mac OSX Version 10.8 with a 2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo.

  3. Another fun time was had by all watching! This time we had some base defense, some battleships flying around, tons of research done and MORE TRAITORS!! I need a Commissar... :P

    Also Wolfy... I got you a really nice casket. All lined with velvet and stuff. It looked really comfy... let me know if you'd like a new soldier!

    Day 5 action (in two parts due to xsplit crash):

    In my books, if I didn't see 'im die, then he didn't die. But yeah, Wolfy Mach 2 go!

  4. X-Com, resplendent in their new personal armour, look to protect the Earth form a much larger than normal UFO. Except for "Come On! I can take it!" Sathra who seems to prefer his coveralls.

    Amazingly Arioch isn't killed moments after saving a comrade. Having said that, 'comrade' Gorlom died in the next attack. But it means the infamous Gorlom/ Gaudlike opening act doesn't get out of the Skyranger together. Coveralls Sathra ending a tradition there.

    Gaaah! it's the Chrysalids! The whole Skyranger could be turned into a Romero extras party if we're not careful here! Fortunately 'Killzone' Myamoto is on the case and puts the horrible thing down.

    But a creature seemingly designed to instil terror in night missions isn't avoided for long. Arioch becomes a carrier of a Chrysalid egg. Myamoto shows little remorse in gunning down both the shell of his comrade and the inky nightmare that killed all that he was.

    An enraged Sathra rushes the UFO. Fortunately the two Chrysalids he encounters are at range and he manages to dispatch them before they can act.

    As usual the aliens don''t aggressively try to hold their ship and Sathra and Myamoto are able to take the fight to them.

    'It's behind the building!' shouts everyone in the Skyranger as the partially deaf Gauddlike goes on a protracted search in the wrong direction. His dithering forces Solo to leave the Skyranger. Right into the face of the approaching Chrysalid. Didn't I just warn everyone about that? Didn't I ?

    if you have to do something right...mutters thothkins as he's sent out to stand in the open near a grenade wielding alien (thanks). Fortunately., it hasn't launched anything for a while indicating that it might be out of ammo. it's taken out and the mission ends with only the sad, yet frequent, deaths of Gorlom and Arioch.

    The team's next mission is more like a fag break around the Skyranger. A couple of the guys stretch their legs while Killzone Myamoto kills everything in sight.

    But even Myamoto is taken aback by the four Sectoids sighted immediately in the craft. Well, taken aback by a picosecond as two of them fall in the same round. Only the last puts up any resistance in the choking fumes of the crashed vessel. Then there were none. Another country safe from probing for a few hours.

    The aliens get paid monthly and usually take in a terror mission when they go to collect their pay slips. This month it's Lagos.

    Despite our mocking 'coveralls' Sathra is the only one of us remotely prepared for the heat. Terror missions are long ones too, so this is going to be draining.

    Gaudlike is the first to draw Muton fire, but Killzone Myamoto is taken out, unable to disable the target with the first burst. Solo is lucky not to follow Myamoto as he rushed out of the Skyranger, into reaction fire.

    Reluctant to leave the comfort of the Skyranger DVD player, Thousand Yard Stare thothkins fires from inside it, in a move that is rarely successful and fails utterly here.

    Will thothkins leave the Skyranger?

    Will Sathra get proper armour?

    Will Myamoto get a few more kills , even as a corpse?

    Will Arioch get revived from the vats?

    Find out next time, on Tales from the Skyranger...

    Yay, at least you see that I try and make it like "OH MAN WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?!?!" ;3

    Nice again thothkins, your thousand yard stare is soon to become 1 foot stare. C:

  5. I am volunteering to try out the flying armour first when it is available.

    I think you are when I got them. Well, everyone got 'em but still. And I'll try to remember to count the deaths. I did it at one point then Forgot. :x
