  1. Dungeons of dredmor, hands down. It is dirt cheap on steam. Almost 4 euros on steam. This game has a good sense of humour, and a distinctive aesthetic style. Those who are fans of rougelikes should also get the Realm of the diggle gods expantion.

    You can see it here :

    .I personally love it, and sunk like a hundred hours into it. By the way it is reference heavy. Those of you who do not enjoy references probably shouldn't get this game.

    For example: The side quest NPC, is a statue called Inconsequentia the godses of side quests, and is modeled to look similar to princess peach. Or there is an equipment piece called Scarf of the time lord(Yes it is what you think it is).

    You should get it, buy it NAO! I can't recommend this game enough.

  2. While what i might suggest is is not a youtube channel, but i think you might want to consider contacting the spoony one. He is a big fan of XCOM, and it was he who started the whole BETRAYAL! meme some of you might have heard of. He may not be a youtuber, but he has a lot of fans. You could always drop him a PM, couldn't hurt, right?.

  3. OOoh, looks like lots of achievement medals. :P

    But Chris did mention that medals are to be reminders of memorable/epic events on the field. The idea of being a soul survivor was an excellent one,and keeping a guy alive for 100 kills on harder difficulties but ideas like :"kill X aliens with grenades" or "stun X aliens" are too "grindable". I don't think medals that actually improve a soldiers stats should be worth the effort of attempting to get them on purpose. No one would sacrifice a squad for 1 bravery.

    Maybe have a more advanced option of Sole Survivor?

    Like:

    -order of perseverance(i'm bad at names): Succeed in a mission with the last survivor and kill 5 (or so) aliens after the other members of the squad die.

    I remember finishing the final mission in UFO:extraterrestrials with my last soldier by blasting the core before the remaining aliens cach up. That was definitely an emotional ride.

    - the medal of valor: Kill an alien at a close range after the alien shot 4 times at the unit. Again a fun battle experience,and memory of the xenonaut zealot who rushed the enemy with no regard for personal safety, but intentional grind for it will most certainly destroy the players nerves. Most likely due to the aliens not missing the shots for the first 100 attempts.

    I was also thinking of a set of "traditional" ribbons. By that i mean the soldier tradition. In Roughnecks the soldiers were wearing arm bands with the fallen comrades name on it for a while after their death. Maybe after a xenonaut dies on a mission the others that were on the mission would receive a temporary ribbon of "soldiers name". That would give +1 bravery for 1,2 geoscape days. Fighting to avenge the fallen, and so forth. I assume this "tradition" stuff would be a jerk to program, but hey it's an idea.

    P.S: TheTuninator and anotherdevil : Fight fight fight fight fight ! :D(Joking ofcourse)
