    • Be a character on my X-com LP

      Why you might ask? WELL CAUSE IT COULD BE FUN.

      What is X-com Enemy Unknown? Well its a squad based turn... based.. (too many bases!) strategy game! Where you have to save the world from alien invaders and what not.

      Watch as br00tal owns with a shotgun or watch morgy snipe away.... watch Cirno die!!!!

      jk I don't even know if they'd want to be in it. But that's why I'm going to make this thread. It's not going to be some youtube exposure kind of thing and honestly I'm not even in a place to give that away since I'm barely coming up on 400 subs myself. But it could be fun to watch your own character go through some fights, and even possibly die. When I play it I will be doing it on Ironman or whatever which means when you die you're dead because I can't load a save and go back in time to save you.

      I also don't know how I'm going to pick people, it depends how many "apply" If there's only like 10, I believe as time goes on you get like ~20 characters at once so it wouldn't be a problem, whereas if I get like 100 people then I'd be screwed. Anyway I just thought it'd be a little fun so if you're interested throw down something similar to this:

      Name: Bob Pooper
      Nickname: Booper (keep nickname shortish, I think its like 8-10 character limit)
      Sex: Yes please, I mean male/female
      Looks: small description of how they should look. I don't think there are a TON of options on xcom but there are a couple so just throw the basics like skin color, a basic hair type, possibly some other asthetics but I can't be sure.
      Class: see below

      Your class will be decided via the game, basically I'll make your character as a new recruit, of which gains a speciality after leveling up the first time. So if you really want to be a sniper, sorry but I will try to cheat the system. I think it also depends on what items you equip them with, for instance if you equip someone with a medkit they will most likely become a support. I'll do some research but feel free to toss up what kind of class/weapon you want. I believe there's Heavy, Assault, Support and Sniper.

      Heavy uses rockets/explosives and large machine guns
      Assaults use shotguns and specialize in running and shooting
      Supports have smoke grenades and medkits and use normal rifles
      Snipers obviously use... sniper rifles.

      Oh and also if you have any preference for who you run with, throw that in here too (if like you and a friend apply). As its a squad based game there will be 4-6 people at once, so pick a friend you want to "play" with just so I know, if not I'll just throw together my own squads but we'll see XD.

      Anyway I hope some of you will join me and I'll be uploading videos.... well I don't know when. Might be after I finish Dark Souls so I don't have 2 heavily expansive games at once, it might be before dark souls. Either way I'll probably be recording as soon as I get enough people :)

      Sex: I'm a girl, but Ash Ketchum is a guy. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO CONFLICTED. Let's base it on Ash Ketchum and say guy.
      Looks: Ash wearing his hat from 1st gen pokemon in a ketchup bottle costume. No let's make him a hipster because why not. Ash is also wearing hipster glasses.

      Rofl, I'm pretty sure ash's hat isn't in the game but we'll see what we got.

      I've just played through the first couple tutorial levels, seems you start off with 12 squadmates of random origins. I don't know if they're set or not so I'll make a new game soon. Also squad size is 4 at the beginning so I could actually start recording soon :D

      Nationalities and genders are set. Also you can't choose who uses a shotgun or a sniper the game does


      Yeah I messed around and found that out. However if a male person wants to use a shotgun, I can edit a male that does use a shotgun to them after I find one. So assuming everyone doesnt want to be the same class it is possible to try and give them what they want. xD.

      I personally like sniping. Also for snipers get the perk that lets you target enemies your allies can see. Possibly the best perk for a sniper ever


      Yes sir! I believe it's called Squad Shot or Squad Sight... something like that XD.

      PS MOAR PEOPLE, the game starts off with 12 members of your force! Only 4 can be deployed at once, but if someone dies or gets injured and isn't ready for combat again I'll have to use randomly created guys and what fun is that! :P

    • OH NO WE'VE LOST OUR FIRST SOLDIER!!!! I'm sorry :<

      I'd be rendering and preparing videos to upload but I just can't stop playing! XD. Probably 1 more episodes worth and I'll start rendering it so maybe the next few days we'll see the action. I did good, no one died for like 4-5 episodes depending on how long I make em... <_< but someone did die.
