    Snagged mine! Xenonauts is also under "Featured PC Games" list on steam so I see it on my steam frontpage <3

    Yeah I know the OG had it also but that doesn't mean I was a fan of that then either Though from a gameplay perspective I see how it would be difficult to not do it in this fashion because then you'd have to have each weapon have a "range" display and what good reason is there a plasma/laser weapon can't shoot across a map? Or even a ballistic rifle for that matter. I could see a shotgun not being such long range but really that's about it. So from a gameplay/coding perspective I get why it's in there and it makes complete sense. That doesn't mean I have to say I like it though!

    It's something in the firaxis game I don't mind because it's limited to the sniper class only plus it makes sense a unit with a sniper could see very far. However I feel that for the most part you should only be able to shoot something that particular unit in question can see for itself. I mean look in no other situation can you ever fire at something YOU can't actually see and expect to hit it. Ever. I just don't like the mechanic is all.

    So every alien is now a squad sight sniper? I'm not sure I'll enjoy that too much.

    Congrats! Well Earned Of course now you have to work more while on the forums instead of just hanging out so... that's something haha.

    Well I certainly don't know but I snagged a premium slot for a reason - to get goodies <3

    If anyone likes Advance Wars you should check out "Great Big War Game" on steam - just make sure to change your monitor to 59 Hz from 60 until they patch it if you buy the game

    Looks like a nice road map! Let's hope we don't get lost checking out the scenery

    I had been wondering what was going on.
  10. Hellstormer
    Yeah one of the interviews mentioned a sniper ability that allows you to take a second shot if you kill an enemy with your first shot as a sniper. I don't know what it was called. However those ability trees seem to be set up with 2 abilities per level that are mutually exclusive. So if you pick one you lose out on the other. That should be interesting I think!

    It was smoldering for a while but there is never smoke without fire. Given the incendiary nature of the topic make sure to give it wide berth lest you get burned... or end up with smoke inhalation.

    It's ok because you were on break to laugh at me failing at XCOM

    Day 9 - The Mission to Mars! I'm still not sure if we can count this as a victory or not. The death toll spirals ever higher! Do we beat the brain or succumb to it's evil mind controlling powers?! Watch to find out! http://www.twitch.tv/hillhome/b/322488764 Next up I'll be streaming Faster than Light. You can see the first stream of it in the archives or just click below! http://www.twitch.tv/hillhome/b/322493125

    Wolfy Mach2 LIIIIIVES. Also Day 6! Alien bases abound... and fixing your aircraft takes bloody forever! http://www.twitch.tv/hillhome/b/322156726 Day 7 starts off with a bang and ends with an explosion! Includes at no charge annoyance and literally smacking my FACE into my DESK. Fun times! http://www.twitch.tv/hillhome/b/322266632 Day 8! We are successful at last in capturing a live commander... or ARE WE!? The ultimate troll game lives up to its reputation. Watch and see the hilarity! http://www.twitch.tv/hillhome/b/322377537

    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... 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): http://www.twitch.tv/hillhome/b/322047115 http://www.twitch.tv/hillhome/b/322051850

    New Rig

    Hellstormer replied to IceVamp's topic in Off-Topic

    You call that cheap? You guys need to move here to the states. Tons of 3 bedrooms far cheaper than that on this side of the pond.
  17. Hellstormer
    The money in the game is really more of a guideline anyway

    Great to see wolfy in chat during the stream tonight! In other news... a blaster bomb ruins the day of a few good troopers (and hilariously also some aliens!). Horribly the USA feels XCOM is pointless and defects to the Aliens. I feel so fail now. Hopefully we can overcome this setback and still be successful. Here is Day 4s video: http://www.twitch.tv/hillhome/b/321382321

    But your tech and upgrades would so overpower the humans there wouldn't really be a lot of challenge to that IMO.... right now you play as the underdogs, stealing what you can (weapons, tech, etc) and getting by however you are able under pressure to save as much as possible. If you were the aliens wheres the drama? The human tech is miles worse. Nothing holds you back from bringing out the best stuff right away and crushing all resistance, etc.

    Maybe at some point Chris will go super secret troll on all of us and code in that your USSR soldiers will, when mind controlled by the aliens, target US troops first and ofc that would work the other way around too

    There continues to be a burning interest in this thread and as we all know where there is smoke there is fire. Ever feel like the picture below while playing games in the XCOM series? Usually when it's one dude left vs an army of Chrysalids...
  22. Hellstormer
    You'll need an empty hangar to build it ofc. Just in case someone reading this topic might need that crucial bit of info.
  23. Hellstormer
    Alright day 2 is also up! http://www.twitch.tv/hillhome/b/320840182 Be forewarned that a lot of soldiers (and my buddy shadowwolf) die. In shadow's case about 3 or 4 times haha! Day 3 was vs a ship full of Chrysalids and Snakemen I'd shot down. It leaves off with a big cliffhanger too! More to come! http://www.twitch.tv/hillhome/b/321071643

    The art book finally lured me in for the kickstarter I just couldn't resist that book. Congrats to everyone at Goldhawk! I can't wait to see the full beta version in the coming months and to be horribly slaughtered by your evil alien minions.

    Meh 1947 just the testing stuff for radar deflecting technology the stealth series of fighters uses today....
