I see the difference between my Beginner and your Superhuman. Your A-Team fell to one ethereal attack whereas my B-Team has so far repelled two invasions, not least my A-Team which has repelled 2 Muton assaults and some Floaters.
This...this is not looking good...whoever had that laser pistol is our new hero! Brandt, lead us to victory! I mean, Yvel! Battleship, you can be leader if you survive! Yvel, you've failed us! Mutant Planet, be our hero instead! And now you're the leader, despite panicking! Wow, this is...not good. What have we got, two agents left? This is not good.
I find it amazing how x-com players move their men right up to dark places where they cannot see what's there, using up all their points. Leaving an alien to just walk up to the man's head and put a phaser to his forehead and shoot him!
Despite the grim, solemn situation, I can't help but find it funny how most of the ethereals were going down from shots at a distance, rather then up close.. especially the one at 3:16 , holy crap man! He... it must have had twelve inch thick steel plates... or it was just getting it's robe blasted >.>.
When you see the picture for the autopsy they're extremely skinny, almost skeletal. I'd say only about 15% of them is actual flesh out of the profile of their robes.
About ten or so videos back, I had started wondering how Kiko is going to survive when he remembers that his Heavy Plasma need ammo. My guess was throw them at the enemy.
this is getting tense I really want you to survive so there will be more xcom videos.. If you can survivethis and win this game that will be an amazing come back
stop dieing you cowerds

All while he was loading the soldiers with plasma guns, I was just thinking:
"Unlike the lasers, you might want some spare ammo"
...
"Those guns DO have ammo, right?"
...
"This. is. going. to. be. a. massacre"
And anyone else reminded of the headless monks from doctor who? This episode literally copies that dw episode lol

Most xcom players don't use such reckless tactics, though it's more for the spectators :p

The task of defense is far greater than to attack.
This video proves that point greatly.
