Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
It's my job to keep you alive. I will not succeed- not with all of you. [XCom LP III]

Fallout: Goddamn Sectoid with a Heavy Plasma. It's worse than giving a toddler a lit firework to play with. Who's got a medkit?
Ivar: I do.
Fallout: Hold up until I can get to you, he's got me pinned down. Does anyone else have a shot?
Just_Bri_Thanks: No, he's too far into cover.
Fallout: Shit.
Rankenphile: Hold on, I've got something.
Rankenphile: Frag out!
**EXPLOSION**
Ivar: Move, move!
Fallout: Coming!
Ivar: Where were you hit?
Fallout: In the arm. How's it look?
Ivar: Broken. Can you make a fist?
Fallout: Barely.
Ivar: Alright, there's probably no nerve damage, but I'll need to put you in a splint a sling until we can get you back to base. Looks like you'll be re-acquainting yourself with our nursing staff for the next few weeks.
Fallout: Small mercys.
Karl: Alright, we need to move forward and cover our asses here. Bri, Rank: push out and protect Ivar and the Commander. guru, Nartwak: take the other flank and watch for Alphas; snap, cover guru and Nartwak from a secondary position.
Just_Bri_Thanks: Copy, pushing forward.
snap: No problem, I have you covered.
Nartwak: In position.
Ed & Larry : "Doesn't matter."
I recently was gifted a thing in Steam. If it was from you, thank you very much!
Awwwww yeeaaaah!
Right, lemme at that alien ship powercore. Got my toolbox and my anti-rad suit ready, sir.
I'll have this thing figured out and upgraded in no time, then those green bastards won't outrun our ships any longer...
"If you don't know who Kendra is, I'm officially not speaking to you."
VINDICATION
so close.
While I'm just a flyboy, can I at least suggest that our higher ranking ground personnel act as on site strategists rather than front line troops? The newer members of Contact Team Ratio probably would have broken, maybe even gone berserk causing all kinds of trouble had the Commander been killed.
because your senior ranking people are people who can shoot the straightest
if we WEREN'T putting ourselves where we can kill things, I'm pretty sure each mission will take about 5 times longer
plus, we get shit done
we get killed sometimes, sure (ahem), but shit gets done
you just TRY telling one of the Captains or higher-ups to stay back
just try
go on I dare you
The flipside of that coin is that the newbies don't advance as quickly, as the ones who have been around for a long time get a majority of the kills with their straighter shooting.
Fishman also is an X-Com god so you can probably take what I'm saying with a grain of salt.
Gasp! My bbcode!
Anyway, it's Numbers, not Letters ya cheeky bugger.
"If you don't know who Kendra is, I'm officially not speaking to you."
So what you're saying is that Viv is heavy?
"Hey Karl, remember that time you and your bunch of rookies got our commander killed?"
No no you are seeing it wrong. He would say ""Hey Karl, remember that time you and your bunch of rookies got me promoted to commander!". Of course if he is being passed over for moriveth then he might remind you of that fact.
She was a heavy-hitter. I should have been more explicit.
Nobody knows her actual weight, seeing has the last rookie that fucked up and actually asked was later mistaken for one of Rank's "projects".
And now i'm adding this to my list called "Reasons why CPT. Karl Drinks"
**Laser Weapon Fire**
Karl: Alpha moving toward cover. guru, do you have a shot?
gurusloth: That's affirmative; bringing it down.
**Laser Weapon Fire**
gurusloth: Alpha is neutralised.
**Laser Weapon Fire**
Veretas: Alpha neutralised.
Karl: Ratio, it looks like Rank's firecracker let them know we're here. Bri, what's it look like on your side?
Just_Bri_Thanks: Hold on, moving into position now...
Just_Bri_Thanks: Rank cleared the site pretty thouroughly; no sign of hostiles. We have a few small uncontrolled fires, but that's about it.
Karl: Okay, push up and secure that area. Ivar, are you about done there?
Ivar: Yeah, almost.
Karl: Alright, when you're ready join Rank and Bri securing that flank. The rest of the team will sweep this side and rendezvous with you on the far side.
Ivar: Copy.
hey satan...: thinkgeek amazon My post | my website
**EXPLOSION**
Veretas: What was that?
Karl: All units, report in. Anyone see anything?
Dux: Nothing to report.
Rankenphile: No contacts here.
Nartwak: No contacts, but I thought I saw a flash off in those trees to the east... hold on...
Nartwak: Uh, Captain, we've got an unconcious Sectoid here. No sign of any physical injury, but he's carrying one of those alien stun gas launchers.
Veretas: You don't think...
Karl: Yeah, yeah I do.
Fallout: I told you, more dangerous than an infant with a firecracker.
Karl: Some days it makes you wonder why we get all suited up if they're just going to do all the hard work themselves.
What gets unlocked if you haul one back alive, I forget?

So they're pretty fucking important.
And that is probably not a commander, smalls generally don't carry them.
Nartwak: No Problem.
Karl: Ivar, where's your team at?
Ivar: We're just making our way to the front now, sir.
Ivar: Won't be long.
Karl: Good. Aedan has finished his sweep and it looks like the area is secure. Meet me by the front door.
Rankenphile: Copy that.
Karl: Anyone got a motion scanner?
gurusloth: Yeah, I picked one up.
Karl: Good. Bring it over here. Everyone get ready, we're going inside.
kpop appreciation station i also like to tweet some
gurusloth: Clear.
Karl: Let's go.
Rankenphile: Breaching!
**UFO External Door**
Rankenphile: Clear!
snap: Clear.
Karl: Move up to the next set of doors.
snap: Copy.
gurusloth: Hold on, I've got something.
gurusloth: No, man, it's another contact, coming your way.
Karl: Everyone; defensive positions!
**UFO Internal Door**
Ivar: Contact!
Karl: Don't let it get away!
Ivar: In pursuit!
Ivar: Nowhere to hide, brainiac.
**Plasma Weapon Discharge**
Ivar: This is Sgt. Ivar. Alpha neutralised.
Karl: "Nowhere to hide, brainiac"?
Ivar: Well, they do have rather large heads...
Rankenphile: There's nothing else here. UFO is secure.
Fallout: Good. Let's pack it up and ship it back to base. My arm is beginning to feel like someone hit it with a sledgehammer and I'd like to get onto some of those hopsital-only painkillers ASAP.

Rank... buddy, pal, are you feeling alright? Do we need to take a special trip this weekend to get your spirits up? I hear Detroit is nice this time of year, or we can hit Delaware like you like? We'll call them up and order an extra special "Rankenphile special", maybe the hooker will give you a nice rusty venture. That'll make you feel like yourself again if anything will.

edit: Images worked fine for me, btw. Great updates.
"If you don't know who Kendra is, I'm officially not speaking to you."
I image your avatar picture is saying that. Like some secret organization is behind the aliens.
well, yeah
but what kind of sectoid?
You're all wondering how this is different. The difference is that i'm going to share the bottle this time.
Except you Fallout, you're getting hospital quality pain meds already.
