Dude, I am sorry but you are already using some modifications which make your life a LOT easier, and yet you still go with experienced? It seems you are deep into this x-com thing, why didn't you go with at least veteran? I know superhuman is... basically madness, but at least you could have gone genius. I will watch your videos, but hardcore fans of the series are the ones that'll watch you, and they would have been happier to see harder levels...

A vaild question, I did this forr a few reasons, I hadnt played TFTD in a very long time, I was playing xcom ufo before i started the lp, but I still wasnt sure what to expect so I figured a little lower would work. A lot of people have never seen TFTD before and I wanted to make sure if I did this lp that it would last, i could adjust and help these people as I adjust via your guys tips etc. And I just chosse it cause it seemed iike a good pick at the time :) Hope that explains it a bit.

Good commentary, even better game!

What more can I ask for? (oh and your another fan of necro's xcom LP also) :)

Subbed! can't wait to see how this full LP turns out

shame necro seems to have put his on hold, and I hope you dont save state abuse too much

PS have you seen kikoskia's LP of xcom? another great LP to watch

[quickshot14]

*hehe* thanks so much he did a great job on that cant wait till he does more. TY So much for the sub its appricated and hopefully I can get these out as much as possible.

I belive I have I watched as many as I could find why I wasnt sure weather to do TFTD or not but when I saw there was no LP of it but of just the orignal XCOM i thought it fit nicely as a start. Glad you agree :)

best game of all time..

[rovetti1982]

Shameless bump here...

I've been carrying around this game since buying it brand-new all those years ago. I never beat it then as I didn't know about the research tree bug and didn't have Internet access at the time. Despite it's inefficient interface, old graphics, and trouble getting it to work on a 64-bit OS I really enjoy it. I'm also doing much better than I did when I was 12. 

I've played all the remakes that I can find, but they're just not the same.

Just had to share.

You're selling the torp launcher? I always keep one guy as designated torp user (with high acc). It saved my behind countless times.

Can't help thinking that you're probably causing more damage to yourself than enemy because you're choosing soldiers that are brave but can't hit the side of a barn. I'd take a cowardly sniper over a brave generic soldier any day.

[Demon0n]

Is it not better to choose a most accurate troops so they could hit something at least or with good strength to throw grenades? Or you could choose leave all as is and send poor bastards to scout instead of "genetic selection" and loosing money.

I'm even not talking about mc lottery. That's significant reason to "genetic selection" procedure.

I googled "best PC games" and this came up. This shit is wrong fucked and gay. I hope you die.

@quickshot14 You should keep the crap cuys and have them as a rapid assualt squad. In other words, they will breach the buildings.

[nicadi2005]

@ProjectVRD LOL !! Yup, it would've -- grammar issues notwithstanding. But how's "I gotta check my 'Aquanuts', (see how are they hanging in there)" any better?! ;-)

[nicadi2005]

@SgtHydra Awesome?! For what?!? Surely not for playing a *trained* game, and on a low difficulty setting as well !!... Because, if that's 'awesome', then I *REALLY* wonder how'd you feel about finishing the game on Superhuman, with no helpers...

[ProjectVRD]

Lucky you called them Aquanaut's. Would have been a lot of lulz if you said "I got to check if my seamen is worthy"!
