Which one? There's been 2 Xcom games I remember and I got killed by friendly fire in both.

I still ain't forgiven him for shooting me either, I'd finally found the right tactic for beating the blind, psychic rock hard bug then he burns me through to the bone then shoots me in the head.

His deaths are always fun. He goes down in a ball of fire and takes everyone with him. In my head-canon he's "The Eternal Blaze of Glory."

The one where the team was going in to save that little girl and the house had a force-field generator.

Of course it was covered in an impenetrable shell, it lives in lava. :P But it definitely wasn't psychic.. I should know, since I was the GM. :3 I can't seem to recall anything that would've implied that it had mind powers either. I was sort of confused when you didn't just immediately shoot it in its open mouth, and that not until you had shot it in the head, to no effect, then thrown the weapon aside to where you couldn't reach it and then stabbed him in the head (why would the knives have worked any better? :))) also to no effect (though it did crack his shell if I remember correctly, since you got a good roll), that it occurred to you where his weak point might be. :-\

And I still haven't forgiven you for killing ME in that one game where you were a Yeti.

Oh in Xcom I'm the one who got killed, somebody decided to throw a grenade at a sloped roof and it fell down on me.

Might as well signup...since my other merc game ended in horrible depression.

Name: Aethla Gerdocki
Gender: Female
Description: A stocky 4.9 female with ash black hair, a stocky boxers build, pale blue eyes and a cute nose. Her hair is tied into a short ponytail with a red ribbon, and the fringe touches her neck. Identifiable quasi-human, with dark green skin pigmentation but no other major physical changes. Extensive tattooing on her face, neck and body-repeating geometric symbolism of unknown purpose.

Aethla would describe herself as a gun for hire-albeit, a charming, intelligent, unique looking one-with a knack for getting the highest paying jobs for the least amount of work. It was not entirely rare for her to have played bodyguard in her past work, with quasi famous individuals looking to have something exotic watching over them. She is usually more often hired for her specialist skills than her general combat ability, and was until recently, a freelancer of a sort. Unfortunately, her 'live in the moment' philosophy tends to drain bank accounts and accrue debt, and now she is working with Mecriocorps for the moment, at least partially against her will. Her physical and history specs are mostly kept in the shadows-she's only just considered human, and seems to have an Religious and spiritual edge that motivates her, though it doesn't seem to burden her moral much-except for a hesitancy to needless killing. She seems to enjoy fine foods, and is in fact, quite a good cook-when anyone deigns to ask.

Dwarmin, I'll just put you in this mission, so no need to wait on the waitlist.

Last mission was amazing in terms of action. It could have been an xkcd action movie.
