I discovered utilities to enhance/bug-fix X-Com yesterday. This made me very happy, and I plan on playing more tonight!

Enlighten us! (I played Xcom this afternoon and got owned by insectoid discs in a terrorsite battle. 10 dead, 6 civvies killed by me. bullets don't work on dem discs.

edit@rashilul: Nah. That's Belgians.

This Page has a bunch of them. I'm using UFO Extender, which has a bunch of bug fixes and mods you can make to the game with it. Although I haven't gotten too far in the game yet after restarting using this, so I'm not sure if it causes any problems with the Complete set I got off of Steam. I assume it works ok for previous versions.

Hah. You two are Dutch as well?
This gives hope for a meetup not an ocean away.

[LegoLord]

XD You did not really answer the question, are you from Holland?

And Retro gaming is not in where I live XD

Isn't the real name "the Netherlands"?
That's what they've been teaching me in history, at least.  And on the student travel program I did last summer.

Yes, officially it is 'The Netherlands', but we mostly just call it Holland, because it is easier and faster to write

Also, if you put it officially, Holland excludes the top of The Netherlands, 'Friesland' as far as I know.

I don't think so, if I'm not too busy with school there will be way too much other stuff to do, also, I'm not really playing it anymore, it has been over a month ago since my last play while I'm still daily on the forum

For the sake of pedantry accuracy, here's a quickly-drawn map of the Netherlands to show what everything means:



These are semi-historical regions, mind, not the current political ones.  I don't think I had Holland extend along the coast quite far enough, but I think the point remains.

I saw Cthulhu's Goodfellas reference. That was nice.

There's Holland, which is made up only of Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland.
There's Friesland, which is in the Netherlands, while Ost-Friesland is in Germany.
The Netherlands also include Noord- and Zuid-Holland. And other provinces.

I gladly use and interchange The Netherlands and Holland.

I'm from the Holland part anyway, so I don't care

And indeed, no school tomorrow. Final exam for this quarter was on tuesday, and I have a bit of rest now. But it's a good idea to go to bed.

Good night!
