Let's Play X-COM: UFO Defense - Superhuman Antarctica Challenge - #003 - Hyperspeed!

Yes, more chipmunk voice. More foamy voice. More voice you guys really hate, but I thoroughly enjoy.

EDIT: Also, I didn't get any Elerium - it blew up with the High Explosive. Live and learn, I suppose...

At one point you said "(some guy) is doing pretty well with a rifle, I think I'll keep them on it." Is accuracy not a global modifier? Do they actually gain individual weapon proficiencies?

[LordFinisher]

@HotaruZoku Nah, they don't. I kinda wish they did, but it won't. The main issue with X-COM is that when you find something that works by accident, you don't ever change it, even if your life depends on it. Paranoia is like that.

Ethereals do fly, I'm afraid...and what version are you playing? I play the DOS version and the sounds are a bit different. Not just when you chipmunk it but in your other videos as well. Also on the DOS version Superhuman would reset to Beginner after the first mission due to a bug so I'm assuming this is the Amiga version?

[LordFinisher]

I'm using the X-COM: Collector's Edition version that runs off of a Windows 95 executable - it was released after MicroProse got purchased by Hasbro, and it possesses the latest of DOS patches, which horrifically corrupted the audio.

[LordFinisher]

The Amiga version had 3.5" floppy swapping, and a lot of it. The visuals were inferior, but the audio was vastly improved in a few areas, i.e. "Intercepting UFO" music.

Here's a link to a little bit of playing on the Amiga version (it's on an emulator):

v=bdHgE_1kH2o

of course, be sure to change the code at the address from v=zW8bcDwe4mM to the v-code above.

That little girl scream when the alien shoots down the kamikaze and "Die! muhahahaha" :D Don't know why, but it made laugh :D

I find the chipmunk voice great. The acceleration helps keep things moving in what is otherwise a pretty slow game from an observers stand point and it adds to the humour, at least for me.

chipmunk voice major turn off very annoying

[HotaruZoku]

@LordFinisher *laughs* I'll keep that in mind the next time I play.

Elerium 115 destroyed...

Better to use a standoffagainst those small UFO's

gives also nice reaction training for your soldiers.

[Behemotblack]

you sound like a chipmunk :P

[raCteJ]

I figured that out really quickly... I had no clue what I was doing when I started and got wiped out on normal within the first couple days.

God I love your voice chipmunkified.
