Yeah, I'm bored so I might as well. Got Saturday and Sunday pretty free so I'll probably start tomorrow. In the meantime, I'd like applications!
The generic classes I'm using are Sniper, Gunner and Heavy, using laser rifles, machine guns and auto cannons respectively. I'll also use robots when I get those and benders when I can recruit hybrids. You can request custom armament, though.
Finally, I'm not an expert, so I'll get us all horribly killed at the highest difficulty settings most probably. Still, you can vote on what difficulty setting you want.
So please, post!
-
Ooh, cool. I never saw much of X-com 3 so of course ill join.
I would like to be a gunner then.
-
I'll be a heavy, any difficulty you like. Highish strength, preference for HE rounds, with one or two spare HE and IN and a non-explosive clip too. Don't need much else, besides maybe a couple stun grenades.
There's very little more fun than full-auto HE while slowly walking down a corridor.
:D
-
I'll be a sniper.
-
A lot of X-Com threads popping up. I even started to play the game a few weeks ago : ;D I would like to be a sniper. Any difficulty would be cool with me.
-

What about gunning down the malls security force with massed machine guns?
DAKA DAKA DAKA DAKA DAKA DAKA DAKA DAKA DAKA DAKA DAKA DAKA DAKA!!!
-
Never played Apocalypse, so this should be interesting to watch. I guess I'll take a gunner.
-
Sniper Power!
-
Sniper FTW!
-
Just to clarify, is this turn-based or realtime? Because realtime is way cooler and more fun. Just sayin'.
(and it's fun to remove a headcrab from your squadmate with a high explosive autocannon round...really works! except that headcrabs are like, instant death in turnbased. in realtime, it's just the runners you have to worry about.)
-
I shall join this noble cause!
I would like Heavy please, exclusively HE and IN ammo.
-
Sniper plx
-
Because realtime is way cooler and more fun. Just sayin'.
Akimbo
heavy
launchers.
-
I'll be a Gunner.
Make it as close to being what Elmo would be like as possible.
-
I was contemplating making this LP/Thread myself. Thank god somebody else is doing it. These games were fucking made for forum participation.
Heavy Weaponize me Boksi. In Apocalypse, the HE/Autocannon really is the best weapon until you get Disrupters and B-Toxin.
Also, blow up buildings. You know you want to.
-
I want to be Heavy Weaponized aswell.
To disable my obsession with Warhammer, I shall instead request you make my character a sarcastic, cynical British veteran with an attitude, that really just wants to get out alive, and not in a coffin.

X-Com Commander in Chief's personal log
7th March.
Well, it's about time the government got it's damn act together. X-Com is back and badder than ever! Well, no, not really.
Anyway, let's catalogue our assets:
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/000.PNG)
Okay, who the fuck designed that base? There are two entrances, quite separated! Indefensible! Inexcusable! Well, time to get to work. Let's redesign a few things.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/001.PNG)
Now, as for our vehicles, those road vehicles have got to go. We're buying a bunch of hoverbikes. Swarm tactics FTW. Also some other armaments. Hmm, and yes, science. The biochemists want to miniaturize the alien containment facility enough to be put on vehicles. That's good. The quantum physicists, the geniuses that they are, can't think of anything better to do than hurl a bunch of probes through the weird hovering cube-gates.
And then there's the troops... Weeeeelllll....
Okay, they're bunch of madmen. The heavies refuse to use armor-piercing ordnance, only high explosive and incendiary for them, one guy is nicknamed sniper but couldn't hit the broadside of a barn, and I swear those can't be their real names. Apparently, we've got the strange dregs of society: too honorable to join the gangs, too violent for Megapol or Marsec. Freaks, all of them. But I suppose we must do with what we have.
----
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/002.PNG)
Awww, look at all those tiny little ants, all dancing around, all for me! Dance, little ants! Dance!
Heh. Anyway, we got all the stuff I ordered in less than two minutes. I guess we don't get anything for free then...
Nevertheless, we're all set, so I'll just play Tetris until something happens.
----
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/003.PNG)
Well, that was quick. I barely even got started!
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/004.PNG)
X-Com to the rescue!
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/005.PNG)
Oops. Seems like Captain Mayday won't be partaking in this mission, on account of having no gun. We won't really need more grenades, which is the only thing he's armed with.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/006.PNG)
Aliens! Damn they're ugly.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/007.PNG)
Well, that was quick. Apparently there was only one of those anthropods. Still a cause for alarm, since one is infinitely more than nothing.
Todo List:
Pandarsenic, Sniper
WorkerDrone, Heavy
Redshirts List:
2 Gunners
Tip of the Update:
Vehicles can be renamed too! Therefore, you can request a named vehicle!
-
My lack of a shooter is highly disturbing.
-
Too honorable for the gangs. Ha. I'm sure we all got kicked out of the gangs, because we couldn't stick to a plan long enough to not blow everything up.
Give the Hoverbikes dwarven names, and name the transport Brunhilde. If you've still got the hovercars name them Fast and Furious.
Damn politically correct game designers. I don't wanna be a chick!
-
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/008.PNG)
Aliens! Scramble the hoverbikes!
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/009.PNG)
That was quick. Sorry, didn't get any pictures of the carnage.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/010.PNG)
We suspect alien infiltration of this building.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/011.PNG)
Goddammit, we were right.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/012.PNG)
Goddamn hyperworms.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/013.PNG)
OHSHI- Wait. GRENADE!
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/014.PNG)
Well that didn't work. YOU REQUIRE ADDITIONAL DAKKA!
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/015.PNG)
In order to make up for his lack of a gun last mission, Captain Mayday is sent up alone against the aliens. Well, he does have a HE-loaded autocannon. He's not completely hopeless. That smoke to the left is from another squad's elimination of several chrysalises.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/016.PNG)
See? He's not dead. Grenades sure are useful. Too bad I didn't take more pictures. Four agents are injured, including Sowelu and Captain Mayday, so I've recruited an additional heavy, WorkerDrone. Who's a human, not an android, oddly enough.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/017.PNG)
Eh? I stayed up all night playing Tetris?
Todo List:
Pandarsenic, Sniper
Redshirts List:
2 Gunners
Tip of the Update:
Manual control would be a lot more fun if I didn't have so much trouble with scrolling causing lag. Especially when the camera is focused on something moving.
-
Heh, I've played the original X-Com and Terror of (from?) the deep but never took a crack at this one. Sign me up if there's a spot open. I don't care what position or weapon so long as my guy is called "Timmy Bighands".
-
What, my request for a gunner didn't get registered?
-
Eh? I thought I'd added you.
Well, there's a free redshirt gunner. I'll give it to you, but first I have to stave off a base assault. Grenades are a lot less fun when you're on the receiving end.
-
Name one of the gunners "human-girl" for me, would-ya?
-
Name one of the gunners "human-girl" for me, would-ya?
He gets a cookie if it's a mutant guy.
-

No, the character is meant to be a normal human. Damn, I had hoped the name would make that clear.

(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/018.PNG)
More aliens. Goddammit, we're going to be doing this every day for an unknown period of time, aren't we?
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/019.PNG)
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/020.PNG)
What can I say except comment on how extremely ugly those things are?
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/021.PNG)
Those goddamn hyperworms killed one of the redshirts. Goddamit.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/022.PNG)
MORE ALIENS!
Goddammit, I'll have to send some of the injured men with them to be sure.
The building's called the George Orwell Block, by the way. Lovely name.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/023.PNG)
Curses. My clever pincer attack is foiled by a lack of aliens. I wonder where they are.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/024.PNG)
Hmmm? Oh, just a lone spitter. They're so rude, these aliens! Not only did they fail to get caught in my pincer attack, they also spit at people!
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/025.PNG)
GODDAMMIT!
Webadict got killed. Goddamn worms.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/026.PNG)
There you are!
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/027.PNG)
Hopefully that's the last of them. Most of our agents are wounded by now.
Todo List:
Human-Girl, Gunner
Redshirts List:
1 Heavy
Tip of the Update:
Buffers are useful when you're not sure if you'll be able to write on a steady schedule, but they can cause confusion too!
-
Wait, so... I'm in for the next mission? I'm not on the list but I wasn't on the missions.
-
No, I've got two updates in the buffer. You're hired at the end of the second.
-
Nooo! The first to be promoted to Squad Leader and I'm downed. Curse you RNG! Make a new Sniper, named Little Miss Sunshine, or some shorter derivative.
-
Human-Girl doesn't need to be a gunner. Heavy would be fine too.
-
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/028.PNG)
BWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
No, siriously? AHAHA NO.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/029.PNG)
HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK NOT AGAIN! Okay, I'm using a grenade as soon as as I see a fucking worm of any kind. Or whenever I see a group of aliens. Should have decided to do that sooner.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/030.PNG)
Grenade time.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/031.PNG)
GODDAMN WORMS.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/032.PNG)
WHY WON'T THEY DIE!
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/033.PNG)
HAHA FINALLY! And nobody died, too! Well, except for that one civilian, but they're civilians. There's plenty where those came from. From now on, I'll be a lot more liberal with those grenades and screw property damage and civilian casualties.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/034.PNG)
Fuck. Grenade time.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/035.PNG)
We're operating with a small crew this time. The others are too injured for me to risk them.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/036.PNG)
GODDAMMIT WORMS. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/037.PNG)
Hey, it's those weird things whose name I forget!
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/038.PNG)
Well, that was exciting. Hey, better a boring mission than one you barely scrape through. Or don't.
Redshirts List:
3 Heavies
2 Snipers
3 Gunners
2 Benders
Tip of the Update:
DIE WORMS!
-
I will once again request something. Gunner or Heavy is fine.
-
Add me!
-
I say we step on those worms. It worked for me when I was a kid.
-
If you need grenades, your heavies aren't using enough HE rounds!
-
why is this on the second page
-
Fine, I'll update it D:
I've still got some buffer left.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/039.PNG)
Oh fuck. I don't know if we can pull through this one, what with all the injuries everybody's suffering...
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/040.PNG)
This is exactly correct. If we lose, X-Com is gone. Oh, the drama.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/041.PNG)
We don't want to get those civilians killed, so they're going out the nearest exit.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/042.PNG)
CONGA CONGA CONGA! CONGA CONGA CONGA!
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/043.PNG)
Hey kids! Guess who's going to get killed! Man, you cultists have just about as much dress sense as the aliens!
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/044.PNG)
Grenades are much less fun when you're on the receiving end of them.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/045.PNG)
Dear lord, that was a massacre. Only four soldiers remain.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/046.PNG)
Fortunately, we can hire new ones. And look at that. Redshirt still hasn't taken a single hit! And she took down at least four soldiers on her own in that attack!
-
Dammit...
Bring in my clone!
-
Can I claim the Redshirt? She's too cool to remain nameless. Call her...Lady Death.
-
Can I claim the Redshirt? She's too cool to remain nameless. Call her...Lady Death.
No! She's redshirt!
-
Oh, well, then I'd like one of the new recruits.
-
Everybody is redshirt until they're claimed.
Well, up until now. Hehe...
-
Redshirt is a cool name for her. Turn the default name into Rook or Rookie, or Soldier.
-
Boksi, is that an abandonware version you have or a purchased one?
-
I'm in, gimme a robot, actual a cyborg with the brain of an original x-commer in it, rude sarcastic and LASER!
-
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/047.PNG)
Ooog... I've got the Tetris theme stuck in my head now...
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/048.PNG)
We've been hiring.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/049.PNG)
Scramble the hoverbikes!... Again.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/050.PNG)
It was really boring, so I'll not post any pictures of the fight. Rather, the aftermath. First of all, we check this building.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/051.PNG)
It feels good to be back to commanding a bunch of uninjured meatshields agents.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/052.PNG)
How did that happen? Nevermind, just kill them.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/053.PNG)
Some more stuff happened. The most interesting part is that since we had a bio-containment facility this time, we caught a bunch of aliens.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/054.PNG)
Another suspected infiltration.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/055.PNG)
Oh hey, I was right again. What are the odds?
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/056.PNG)
Screw property damage, we have grenades.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/057.PNG)
It's a massacre. In our favor.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/058.PNG)
That was fun.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/059.PNG)
And now it's suddenly Saturday. Damn, but Tetris is addictive.
(http://www.freewebs.com/bokaormur/060.PNG)
Huh. You know, suddenly I feel really hungry. Maybe because I haven't eaten in 24 hours...
----
Alright, I'll be brutally honest with you: I can only promise you two more updates. The most sinister force of them all threatens X-COM and may spell it's doom. And no, it's not aliens or the cult of Sirius. It's boredom. I can't get back into it. Still have the saves and all, though.
Oh yes, and it's an abandonware version. I got it a long, long time ago, but not long or short enough for me to have purchased it.
