Hopefully someone will give me monies for my berfday, and then I can go buy it! (Or, I can save part of a paycheck like a real adult. :P)

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

I'll likely be doing a giveaway for this when it's closer to release day.  Maybe you'll get lucky :)

I'd be happy to if not for the fact that it won't be playable on my system and thus, If I play it at all, it will be on console (because buying a console to play it on is cheaper than buying an OS and significantly easier than setting it up)

And if I can't have it, no one gets it! (So I spent the cash I would have spent here on Xenonauts instead.)

:P

I'm leaning towards grabbing this for console too, but I'll likely wait to see if a mod scene develops first.

One soldier, a German, had survived but now his eyes were all glowy and weird, he was rasping and gurgling horrifying pleas for help. Some bloody sectoid was controlling his mind, that’s what I reckoned, but I dutifully followed the instructions, moved in close and tried to disarm him. He blew himself and one of my operatives to bits and there it was, cowering in the shadows, the little gray sod that had been ticking his brain stem.

1) Yay psionics!
2) Oh GOD, they control your body but leave you conscious and screaming.

Want to see if you can bring a wall down on a berserker’s bloated face? Lob a grenade at the base of the building and see what happens. I’ll tell you what will happen, it will collapse, cover destroyed, inhabitants exposed or crushed. How about firing a rocket between a group of sectoids, hoping to kill ‘em all with splash damage? That’s where the bad news comes in, which is really good news considering it wouldn’t be XCOM without an abundance of death and disaster. I tried that, you see, the careful placement of a rocket.

1) Yay destroyable everything!
2) Yay plenty of friendly fire!

It’d be a shame to switch off the voices completely because when soldiers panic, their will sapped by the death bolts crackling through the air or the sheer horror of seeing a chrysalid and what it does to a man, when they panic they really do panic. Screaming, sobbing, pleading for evacuation – they’re as doomed and vulnerable as ever an elite squad has been.

Want. :X

Héhé, you did indeed. Seems like I'm losing my touch. But you have brought great news, so, I'll let it slide. ;)
