I believe Academia and myself will drink to that.

You're not required to pass a sobriety test to pilot the interceptors, either.

Because seriously, who would climb into one of those things sober?

I think we have 1 pilot who does that, but he's clinically insane so it doesn't matter.

or was that me and transport, damn cybernetics are messing with my memory.

Well, I'm a teatotaller. Not sure if it doesn't qualify under the "clinically insane" label, though.

You willingly, knowingly, and not under the influence of alcohol or any other drug, climb into a hypersonic aerospace craft built by the lowest bidder and take it into mortal combat with something that can carve wet-naval battleships up like oversize reinforced tin cans?

You're not just sober, you're knurd - a few drinks short of sobriety. And on a new level of clinical insanity. First, there was the DSM-IV. Now, we need the DSM-PEZOOK.

Heck, I pilot those tanks by remote control and even I need to be sufficiently drunk to fight xenos scum!

hey I'm just clinically insane, but then again I only talk to aliens we hold captive, excuse me, I have some greys in a stress position I need to talk with....

Only the insane are strong enough to prosper. Those who prosper define insanity.

man iz a thread sapnning the abyss between zee beast and zee superman. (shoves cybernetic right hand down to avoid making a politically incorrect salute.)

sanity is for the weak?

Okay, I know it's late in the game, but if there's any opening in the ground troop department, could I get in on that? Any position, doesn't matter.

God-dammit. Now I have to go find my X-com disks, a Floppy drive, and Dosbox. Curse YOU!

Well, since the thread was necro'd, a status update might be useful.

I've been meaning to work on an update, but that last Muton base assault basically Falcon Punched me in the crotch. 75% of the team was regularly killed within the first two turns by Blaster Bombs. I finally ragequit after the whole team was slaughtered like that about fifty times over, and I can't even look at my X-COM folder without feeling a brutal sense of crushing despair.

But I shall fight on! I will post another update, sometime this year!

See, the challenge would be winning after losing that battle, and writing up the astounding difficulty therein. Could actually be an interesting chapter in this LP.

LOL. I love people like you. Go hunt for those disks, boy! Plug in that useless floppy drive!

Hey man, my floppy drive is still installed. I used to have a zip drive in this thing too.

puh-lease it's ungodly cheap on Steam, which includes dosbox.

It's also over at Direct2Drive for the same price. I think Gamer's Gate also has it.

I want to hear more about kicking ass like I did back on page 25.

Or was I plastered to a wall somewhere and I didn't see? At either rate, tea-bagging, for great justice!

Maybe I need to pick this game up.

Arise from the dead X-COM, we've still got work to do!
