    Name your most memorable X-COM experience.

    Man, I have seen so many strange things playing that game...

    A few that come to mind:

    -The time I did a NIGHT-TERROR-SNAKEMAN (shudder) mission and somehow ended it losing only two or three of my troops, NO CIVILIAN CASUALTIES & four friendly-fire deaths on the snakes' behalf due to their awesomely bad grenade skill. (what was up with snakemen & grenades anyways?)

    -The time my cousin let 12 troops get killed because he wanted to get inside of the small scout. I think the Muton either ran out of ammo, or just gave up...

    -My all-time favourite: I was unloading a tank from my Skyranger on a routine floater battleship mission, when I accidentally hit END-TURN instead of "Next-trooper." Naturally, a blaster bomb went right up the ramp and did a bad thing. Two soldiers in the back were alive, my Commander, who was unhurt, and my Colonel, who had one fatal wound and 17 health left. Oh, no med-kits on board. Using my patented cheap-ass strategy of camping the access lift and running inside every turn to shoot up at the aliens as they tried to come down to get me, I whittled them down to the command crew up in their hidey-holes on the top floor. I left the (laser)tank on the main floor to catch anything I missed, while I ran my 2 troops upstairs. The commander took the nav-room, and the Colonel took the chair-room they like to hide in on the opposite end. Hosed two floaters in the nav-room without incident, and ended the mission with 5-7 health left on the Colonel. The Battleship was landed, so I still scored GOOD! after losing 8 troops.

    Good times.

    I just downloaded the demo, and haven't done much with it yet, but do the civilians pick up stray weapons and panic-shot everything in sight? Or, are some of them armed in the first place? I don't know if I can buy the game if I can't expect to see at least one disgruntled farmer with a duck-gun...

    You call that drunken gaming?! You left out the part where you spilled beer all over your nice keyboard, causing only the keys on the left side to stop working, and then you walk out to best-buy ten minutes before they close and buy some terrible p.o.s. that was in the discount bin which begins shorting out your usb hub. (Ah, and they wouldn't let me return it since I got it from the discount bin)

    Oh, and something something... aliens something. Gotta stay on topic.
