Hit on the girl who hates you.

Take away her hamburger, even.

How... oddly euphemistic.

I have had a fairly crappy week. got nothing but a job offer for extremely temporary work being a peppy sales/ marketing type person who gets to hang out in the sun in-front of a Sears trying to trade coupons for recyclable electronics.

My wife got me a surprise gift, which is great really. It was a wireless headset, the Microsoft Live Chat ZX6000. Charged it for 6 hours like it said to, plugged in the receiver and... nothing. computer didn't even react to this device and did not detect it at all. I try different slots and still nothing. great. Well I could return it locally and get a different headset, no sweat, I only wasted 2 hours of my life trying to get that to work.

So I return it and get a slightly more expensive stereo bluetooth headset called the iskin, made in Canada which is a bonus. Charged it, struggled to get it to connect but it worked, I could hear stuff through it. Microphone wouldn't work. Grrrr...

I grab the receipt and the iskin and all it's parts and return to the store (which is a good half hour bike ride away) and go to exchange it for a Logitech wireless headset which is more than twice as expensive as the original gift >.<

FFFFFFFFFFF

Went back home

and returned. returned the iskin, bought the Logitech headset, went home. charged it, plugged in the receiver. worked fine. FINALLY

4 days later I go to charge my MP3 player. I returned the iskin with the wrong fucking usb cord. Spend the next hour on the phone trying to get to the right department. Get the right department, they hang up instead of putting me on hold like they said they would. Apparently they tried to transfer me >.< Called back and all I could get was a "we can't do anything, the returns have already been shipped."

blargh!

I have been too tired this whole damn week to put up with this shit. I havn't gotten any of my LP done and I feel like crap.

Nobody read my BeeQuest omegle log. :(
I read the damn thing. It was the best thing I've ever seen.  Other than the ToonyPost over there.  With the shades.

I saw the new "X-COM" trailer on Kotaku, and somebody linked to this.

The new X-COM

Wait wait wait, what did I miss?

This does not make me RAGE as much as it makes me sad...I mean, how many Sci-fi RTS strategy/squad-based strategy hybrids did we get compared to (Sci-fi)FPSs in last years? It's like complete the opposite compared to a decade and more ago when we had 5 flight sims, 3 C&C clones, a handull of RPGs every year...and only Unreal Tournament vs. Quake III feud for quite some time.

Man, with all this negative reaction over a genre change, I can't wait to see if it'll actually be good or not.

Pop your Windows CD in the drive and see if theres a way to replace it. If not, reinstall windows. NTDLM is the virtual machine that allows your computer to run programs that weren't designed for your version of Windows or processor architecture. Basically, every program made before 2000 needs it to run.

I dunno, you guys have survived Thomas the tank engine, golems, zombies, nuclear explosions, laser whales, and being on the same team as ragnarock.  I don't think something as tame as a world ending rain of lava will even slow you guys down.

UFO Enemy Unknown:
 Defend the world
 Build any base in any location
 Three-button aircraft combat
 Strategic balancing of pure research, quickly adapting alien weaponry, constructing good gear but not having enough, manufacturing just to make money, and actually having the immediate resources to go out there and keep the world together.
 Agents are human who become better with experience.
 Tactical turn-based combat
 Pretty much anything can be destroyed if you brought enough firepower.
 Tanks and landed aircraft on both sides.

X-Com Apocalypse:
 Defend a city
 Build in one of a limited number of specific buildings with pre-designated entry points
 Useless suicide-can ground vehicles, aircraft that generally just hover and trade blows, but agile craft can work for the first week or so...
 Strategic system slightly simplified, due to overpowered machine pistols, ultralight armour, and lack of alien rankings.
 Agents are human, robotic, or partially alien, who become better with experience, but there is a limited quantity.
 Tactical turn-based or simultaneous with pause button.
 Quite possibly the pinnacle of destructible environments in computer games.
 No tanks, landed enemy aircraft only


Predictions for the future:
 Defend one guy, maybe a squad.
 Be given a default base.
 full-blown car-driving simulation included, but get out of the car before combat starts.
 Choose which gun you want next.
 One agent, but you can mutate them and install robotic parts.
 Twitch-based continuous combat.
 The whole world consists of amorphous blobs.
 Fully functional alien aircraft, which just disappear when you manage to kill them with a handgun.

Jackrabbit, I am not negative about genre change, though I did exaggarete a bit. I am merely a bit cautious about what to expect simply because FPSs are quite abundant these days and making an X-com into one just seems a bit, you know, like they are just following the trend.

Of course, it could turn out quite good and I would be quite happy to see so.
And let us hope it does not turn into

Hmmm, well, maybe even THAT would not be so bad if they manage to make it entertaining to some degree.. Let us not forget C&C:Renegade.

I wish the Devil May Cry series had music options.

Like:

  • - Faux-epic orchestral music

[ ] - Generic guitar
[ ] - If Slipknot were a techno band.

Because I really hate the latter, and it's like the entire score.

The problem is not that they are making a FPS. The problem is that somehow we are expected to believe that a FPS with a rejected x-files script is in some unfathomable way related to the original X-com games. It may or may not suck as a FPS, but it certainly is not an heir of the former in any meaningful way.

It's System Shock 4 - Alienshock.  I tried really hard to be optimistic but not even I can have hope after a trailer like that.  It might be decent on its own merit, the aliens are pretty cool (At least in my opinion), but it's not an XCOM game.
