I say we send the traitor Mahow in first.

I say we send the traitor Mahow in first.
I've just realised, in a mission, that I put a increase damage/reduce aim upgrade on a shinobi.
He now has no ammo whatsoever in his gun.
Glad I gave him an upgraded sword.
So I'm not going to recruit new people for this mission (because that would be idiotic for a variety of reasons) but I definitely will be once I have some supplies after that. Disco and Mahow shall be up first.
This will probably all happen on Tuesday or Wednesday. Which I'm a bit gutted about to be honest, I've upgraded our robot chum some more. Now he acts as high cover wherever he's standing. :drool:
Oh, but never mind using the big metal bastard as cover. I've also unlocked the ability for him to run up to enemies and smash their faces in.
I'm going to be crushed if the little animations for when you use this to kill an enemy aren't at least as nifty as the ones in Enemy Within.
Also, just saw this:

Fucking hell. It sounds like it could feel like a totally different game.
Well, I just shat myself:
Toggle Spoiler
Genuinely had no idea it was coming and it scared the hell out of me.
That a Long War 2 special?
Indeed :(
And now I can't find the last enemy(ies).
I swear I've covered the whole map.
Review codes (I think) for War of the Chosen have been released and having just seen the footage I fear I maybe fucked if I get the DLC too early.
An exit and restart of the game sorted it.
Clear bug though as the guy who was left was in a room that I went through about 4 times.
Edit: Finally got the avatar project bar and I didn't think it was going to stop. Only 3 squares empty :\
Long War 2 - A shinobi with a vortex sword (gives void strike which lets him teleport to enemies and fucking ignores armour) and reaper is fucking amazing.
My main guy just dropped 5 guys in one round and took a chunk out of a 6th.
Edit: Every fucking time I equip a skulljack on someone the mission includes no codex. When I forget to give it to someone at least 1 codex appears. Infuriating.
I will definitely give Long War 2 a go again at some point. Just worried about my stamina ahead of WotC.
Main shinobi now has 68 kills in 19 missions.
He's a fucking one man army.
Finally unlocked mec units.
My spark :wub:
Blacksite mission megavid.
Though sadly, in terms of entertainment value, it wasn't a colossal disaster during which I flooded the battlefield with my angry tears. Didn't realise until now that it's over a fucking hour. Unless my wittering is more entertaining than I imagine there may be some merit in skipping between the fighty bits..... and missing the bit I had to savescum because I accidentally shortcutted a grenade at my own feet (actually it missed but I was still annoyed and reloaded.)

Meanwhile I'm gonna have to hit my next site pronto because the avatar bar is still suffering despite my blacksite mission.
Disco and Mahow have now been recruited so soon they shall be appearing in videos.
Soon? ffs.
We're the two highest posters in the game thread after you.
We deserved top billing.
Well I think we all realise how important post count is.
Harsh on Ian, he's adding a lot here.
You're the first people I've actually chosen to recruit. Everybody else is who I was given at the start. If you think I'm choosing a fancier gun over you Mahow then I think we both know you should know better.
Anyway, in future if a mission is running on like that I think I'll break it down into two videos.
Turns out that a shinobi doesn't need to hack a locked door.
I was on an extract VIP mission, killed some Advent troop outside a cell and the sword cut through the wall allowing the VIP to leave.
This went far too smoothly for my liking Ian, I'm not sure TTH is ready for such competence.Quote:

I've unlocked the final mission after finally finding a codex when I had a skulljack equipped.
I'm going to string it out though as I want to finish most of the research so I'm doing small missions still until I manage it.
Operation DOOM FACE.

Video debut of @Sir Andy Mahowry
Also featuring: @Pleb , @Andrew , @phonics , a bigass robot and.... me!
Also preceding the off-screen death of @Shindig during a mission to try and protect civilians that I didn't record. He got murdered by a berserker. :(
Coming up next time: The debuts of @Disco (who has been in a mission or two but none I've recorded yet) and @Cord who I've trained up as a ranger but hasn't been involved in a mission yet.
I'm in a better place now. :(
In several better places. :(
@Disco and @Cord make their video debuts.

If you want to see me failing to find some aliens then this is the video for you!
EDIT: Oh god, and right at the start I pronounce lieutenant the wrong way. DISASTER.
Seems harsh that you can't just put the robot back together, although I'm perfectly happy for it to tank damage instead of us precious meatsacks.
Especially given on that mission type I can collect all the loot and stuff you'd think you could at least use the remains to get a discount off your next SPARK or something. It also seems daft that I can't just immediately program the next one to have the same abilities, but okay.
Like in the original where as long as you'd researched the tech you could buy tanks with whatever weaponry you liked.
I'd even take it if it was like, "You can rebuild this advanced one for a cost but it'll take longer than building a new one" or whatever.
Loads of progress this afternoon. :drool: New soldiers, a second SPARK, armor upgrades.... all sorts of goodies. About to hit one of the story mission blacksites too.

Just an update one, rather than a mission. New recruits discussed, as well as new robots, are @Raoul Duke and @Patje.
Huzzah.
EDIT: And the video's image even shows @Disco with his new hairline-covering headgear.
Yes Ian - I look badass and am loving the psi-ops thing. Can't wait to unleash MIND GAMES on some alien space weasels :drool:
Perhaps if you mentioned it less often I wouldn't be so self conscious and, maybe, the hat wouldn't be necessary. :mad:
:D
They'll be ON THE ROPES.Quote:

I have my key, won't play until the 4th though.
At such point as I do another video you're gonna be all over it. You've got 'Domination' now which means mind control / ultimate mind games.Quote:

You cried off with a hurt head and went to have a magnesium bath.
Bringing out the new material tonight I see.
As always I'm on the cutting edge.
I just ladle out insults.
With my restart I don't think you're in this save yet. So no. Yay!Quote:

Gonna do a mission just now, I think.
