Let's Play X-Com Super Antarctic Challange 19: Zooombai?

[SgtSLenderMan]

I can't believe that Sub Zero is the only one left from the initial 3 batches. Skuz was a vet from batch 2, I think.

They don't last very long...

[Vicius2004]

Kikoskia: This mission is going from bad to worse!

Chryssalid: I have altered the deal. PRAY I don't alter it any further!

[arthinugami]

No fire? normally I use fire the zombies with my a auto cannon so they don't turn into Crysallids

[cybercobra2]

oh how i love the crysalid with a gun bug.

[KILLRAIN42]

@Kikoskia Good God man, you really did learn alot from this playthrough, didn't you? After watching your latest version and switching back and forth from this to that it's like watching someone else playing entirely! Well done!

[BrawnX]

@KILLRAIN42

He was doing this one for entertainment, not to win it. These are similar to me tactics the first time I played the game myself. After a rather naszty mission similar to this one, which ended with my last four people making a final stand around the ramp of the Skyranger, and surviving somehow, I really changed my tactics/ and managed to even beat the game, with one of the survivors from this sort of disaster taking the final shot as well.

[KILLRAIN42]

@BrawnX I'm aware of that? It's not like I'm retarded and only ever watched this and nothing else. I know how Kiko plays games, and ninety percent of the time it's to entertain, otherwise, why play it?

[BrawnX]

@KILLRAIN42

True enough. I'm sorry that I got on your nerves.

[miyamotofan]

Fun fact: at turn 20, the aliens gain sight of the entire map, so they will always know where your troops are will start playing much more offensively.

[ElDoRado1239]

Ohmigod why did you send Harriet to a certain death... XD

[TheLS69]

Extremely entertaining. Danx mon.

Gotta check out our never vids too.

(Considers subbing if this series actually maintains the same level of attitude to the end.)

[VincentPrice111]

@mikaelgruner As others have said, the point is for entertainment. Not for him to own everyone and everything.

This way is much more entertaining than if he sent entire teams into one area, then loaded when one or two of them died.

[Lostfaith1980]

@mikaelgruner Its a game. Not a fucking international peace treaty with civilian lives in the balance. He can play it the way he wants.

[Demon0n]

Omg... Zombie armed with laser rifle turned to crysalid armed with laser rifle... I thought that i know everything about x-com.

[Riddley313]

Total eclipse of the heat @ 3:30. Didn't know Kikoskia was a Bonnie Tyler fan :)

[TKozlows]

I get for some of us seasoned players watching Kikoskia run into trouble is rough, but seriously people, he's playing it his way and though it might not be how we would do it that is just the point: We're not the ones playing. Put up and shut up or don't watch. I for one am getting a kick out of it. What bites is this LP is already done. : (

[Trusseck]

Skuz's Shargas girlfriend isn't going to be pleased with the news.

[michetox]

it almost looks like he played this one badly on purpose

[sortedevaras]

Holy shit! I have been playing X-Com since I was a little kid but I never knew that zombies could use weapons. First time I learned something for a Lets Play.

[Dinyctis]

Hahaha, channeling some "Total Eclipse" huh?

[PanzerDivisionBOM]

The dewd hardly used any flares, explosives, spotters, combined arms tactics or even force of numbers. At one point a few vids ago, he sent one soldier with a heavy plasmagun charging into an unexplored building, which turned out to have a pair of cyberdiscs in it, whilst leaving half a dozen or so potential spotters behind in the Skyranger.

Was this part of the Superhuman Antarctic Challenge, or newbishness, or just lazy playing?

[orest1s94]

*chrysalid fires* "how did that cryshalid shoot us?"

*cryshalid fires again* "how is that chryshalid shooting us?!"

*chryshalid fires AGAIN* "HOW IS THAT CHRYSHALID SHOOTING US?!?!" LOL xD

[hartzaden]

WTF. it has a gun. how the heck did it git a fracking laser. i have seen mutons pick up lasers but a zombie???

[EmperorLjas]

Everyone's complaining about how he doesn't move in a squad, but Let's Plays are like movies for us spectators, and in movies, everyone finds themselves alone in the dark at some point. Watch any Alien film for proof!

[BrawnX]

@EmperorLjas

Hmmm... This reminds me a lot of Aliens, for pretty obvious reasons. I just cannot watch this episode without hearing dialogue from the first encounter with the hive. It's just so fitting.

[otoole42]

Nooo not Skuz, looks like I'm back to rooting for sub zero, anyways great Lp, any chance for a barry V?

[emikochan13]

lol chasing crysalids is a death sentence :p gotta get them in the open :)

[MagnaSonic3000]

Has anyone noticed they shoot with one hand, but hold the rifle with two?

[albericosa]

how the hell did that zombie fire a laser?

[EvilMuppet1979]

I've never seen a chrysalid fire a laser either... interesting game.

[madmankind]

spending all TU's for movment and left poor solder soldier face to face with his own death... what about some tacting? moving in small groups by 2-4 ppls in each direction, save some TU's for interception, taking cover and else.

i like videos you make, but your UFO play style hmm... lazy (nothing personal =)

sorry for my eanglish btw )

[Schweet916]

"We get punch outta the Skyranger, and it's quiet, you know? But it's not like normal quiet. This was... so eerily still. And then we heard them. A kind of choking sound, like meat in a human grinder. At first we didn't sweat it. Xenos make lots of weird fucking noises, right? But then we saw one of them. Remember that movie... 'Aliens'? Great flick, by the way... Remember how the xeno jumped across that corridor, just for a second? It was like that." [SUB-ZERO removes a cigar from his jacket]

[RedBzerkr]

Crysallids with guns...Oh gawd.

[megatroll]

Ah... now the bad memories all come up at once... these crysalids were the main reason why I gave up on that game back in the day. I admit being a kid, I didn't have the neccessary patience nor the ability of tactical thinking to master it. Now, over ten years later, it's good to see someone kicking their asses! Go Kiko! :D

[Swoop223]

What mistakes? He's playing the game from a to b no saves and on superhuman (assuming it's the CE patched). I've been playing this game since 1993 and Kikoskia already stated he's doing this for fun/entertainment.

[tehlpguy]

kiko: you dont know how happy i am to see a snake man

*snakeman moves out the way for the cryislid*

i lol'ed my arse off XD

[BethelRose]

OMG I hurt myself laughing. Kiko makes the best LPs I've ever seen!

[dmboogie1]

NOOO! Belial! Skuz! Harriet! People I don't care about! Sub-Zero and Jill are the only veterans left!

[HerbertTheHamster]

My god, the horrible memories of chrysallids...

I remember having to blow up entire cities with blaster bombs just to get rid of them. :(

[FreddeX91]

Yeah i know what you mean man, sometimes i have actully killed civilians just to make sure the chrysallids wouldn't get them. Sure i get less points but that is acceptable losses if you ask me :D

[shadowlord1996]

What do you use to film this?

[EdMan6623]

The problem with Skuz's death is that Kiko should've put him in the zombies face instead of moving him off to the side. Point-blank shots never miss, ever, and 6 shots is more than enough.

[Koseiku]

How come that my soldiers turn instantly into Chryssalids when being attacked by them? They are never zombies :/

[fiskefyren]

because they dont have awesome names xD

[supercoiled]

4:15 LOL, I've never seen something like that before

[fiskefyren]

zombies that can shoot lazer from their eyeballs! most normal zombie there is!

[guennbrot]

I actually enjoy the way he plays.

it´s more fun this way ^^

[currzwurst]

Great! Ordering now. Thank you very much.

[GeneralWildDog]

This town will soon be Raccoon City Mk.II and erased by nuke.

[fingusa]

HOW?how the hell can chrysalis and zombie shoot lasers?never happened to me lol

[scotty92994]

well it was a zombie of one of kiko's men. so it could be shooting at him with his awn laser

[Bullfrog1983]

Wow... those are some smart zombies. Must be like the ones in Doom 2

[dagroth123]

eletroflares are suggested, lol

[Freecell82]

Okay, wtf... I've never ever seen a zombie use a weapon. How did that happen? Must be a bug...

[Andkloras]

a zombie firing a laser? 4:17

made me think of "IM'A FIRING MAH LAZOR!!! WAAAAGH!!!"

But that was actually weird O.o never seen that before.

[Fuckyoubloodymoron]

5:55 is even better - multiple reaction shots by the resulting Chrysalis.

[LeVaughnX]

Heh they should make something like this for the 360 =(, cept bigger, badder, and just as dramatic >=D!

[bokkoo]

The bad thing about it will probably be made into a half-assed FPS

[LeVaughnX]

Question? I found a download (full) for X-com (What you see being played) but I can't do teror missions OR base runs..and the SFX doesn't play at all. Mind you this is for DOSBOX, but is there something else I can play this on? Any advise on finding this game for (remade) for another emulator?..

[Kikoskia]

You can buy X-Com UFO Defence from Steam.

[currzwurst]

Does the Steam Version have all the sounds, like the one you´re using?

Because all teh ones I got my hands on recently only have the "metal" walking sfx, one sound for dieing aliens, and so on, and so on.

It isn´t any fun that way.

[TrowaVidel]

geez... those units are evil... A whole different ballgame from sectoid terror missions... I mean snakemen themselves are rather pathetic but the chystalids are ridiculous...

But foster has some nice reflexes.

[TJay9000]

jeez could they have made it any harder??

[Soulsargent]

Foster earnt his flying suit lols

[ChazDragoon]

I don't think i've felt terror this...intense. o_o;
