A man sits, smoking on top of a ruined concrete foundation. It was the home of six, a mother, a father, a teenage son with a addiction to violent video games, his girlfriend, and a set of twins, once a upon a time. XCOM fought to protect them from the big bad etherials, and they failed this time around.

His red mohawk gleams in the sunlight, his scoured and pot-marked armor had seen better days, as has his gnarled, burned hands, treated by once impossible procedures to fight again.

"You are one ugly son of a bitch, aren't you?"

To his front and left was the smoking corpse of an ugly, ugly alien. Its limbs were twisted in odd angles as some organ in it slowly emptied out of gas in a slow "fllbbbbbbb" sound, humorously sounding like a fart coming out of its mouth, or throat wound, it was hard to tell.

Bepkos gun had six rounds to go, and judging from the chittering in the distance, he would only need one.

X-Com.

[stabbymcstabstab]

X-COM of course.

I'm joining the Xenonauts X-Divison NAMBLA EXALT ADVENT INSERT ORGANIZATION THAT ISN'T XCOM HERE XCOM side. Vigilo motherfucking confido.

Also, the third XCOM arms race should be set in a XCOM 2 setting, where the events of the original game were just a simulation (if we don't get our asses curbstomped a few months in), and humanity actually got their asses kicked, and it takes 20 years to find where the commander is held captive by the aliens, prepare a retrieval operation, and generally get the resistance ready for a second war.

Aaaaah how did it take me 24+ hours to see this. I am very happy to see this reborn and I will once again be rejoining XCOM to lead the human race to victory.

[NUKE9.13]

Someone said they thought the Ethereals would be more popular, forgetting that the humans are usually the most popular side in any game with multiple species. People like humans, for some reason.

[Happerry]

Humans have less posts and pages right now, literally less then half the amount of posts as currently there is 20 XCOM thread posts and 44 Alien thread posts, and two XCOM thread pages while the aliens have three, so there's at least some truth to it, though maybe the aliens are just being more arguementive, who knows. But it was the smaller XCOM thread that made me decide to join them again instead of doing the aliens this time.

[NUKE9.13]

Oh, I didn't mean to suggest people should feel bad about joining XCOM. There are (currently) enough people in the Ethereal thread (although we'll see how many stick around). I was simply commenting on the earlier comment by Fallacy:

Joining XCOM because aliens are cooler and will probably end up getting more players.

Anyway, I'd prefer to update soonish, so if you still want to vote, please do so soonish.

[Aseaheru]

 Well, I need mah Arms Race fix, time ta kick some alien arse.

[NUKE9.13]

So, I dunno about XCOM, but it doesn't seem like our votes are going to shift much.

[10ebbor10]

I'm currently writing the XCOM update, so the votes better stay where they are.

Ey, humies. Your mother was a bureaucrat and your father ate crayons!
