I'd be willing to hit up Easy/Normal panic management with Classic Tactical.
This basically sums up my feelings. I think I might prefer the brutality of Classic in battle, but so far I greatly prefer Normal's fairly mellow panic increases (and money management, but a lot of that's probably due to low replacement costs).
I'm guessing it would be fairly easy to mod. Just take the modifiers for the strategic Normal difficulty and copy them into the Classic values. Or you could wait for someone with more experience to handle it.

I've somehow not encountered ethereals yet, but are the sectoid commanders supposed to mind control you or something? Because all they've ever done is shoot at me for their one turn of life but when you dissect one, the science chick is all "You saw how incredibly dangerous these were in the field!:
They most certainly can. They can also deal nigh-unavoidable damage with their mind: damage that is not affected by cover, Overwatch, or Suppression.

A flock of horny female dolphins burst out of the fountain I was drinking from. I turned myself invisible in a bid to escape, but they had already seen me. They killed Kenny and then turned on me, and despite my valiant flailing, their vicious beak-things tearing off first my arm and then my head.

See, I looked at IVAN's webpage and saw a fairly generic roguelike. They need to emphasize that crap like the above can happen.

Problem is, I am always waiting "for the right time" to approach her, and it's sembreak, and most likely we're not going to share a class anymore, which makes things worse.

I waited too long. I guess I botched it. And I'm still as indecisive as ever.

Fuck.
That's why Facebook and other such sites were invented.

I've got no suggestions, sadly. Never had a computer good enough to record things <_<

Would this be one that's humorous to watch me fail, or am I just gonna jump in and get one-shot my an arch-zombie and be done?
Yes.

My roommate. My hick, racist roommate who I've been telling you about all this time....thinks Romney is a lying bastard and likes Obama, even thinks he won the first debate.

I.........I......have no idea about what to think about anything anymore.
UP IS DOWN
BLACK IS WHITE
FREEDOM IS WAR
CINDERBLOCKS IS FUSION
Welp, that settles that. Time to go proclaim eternal allegiance to Tzeentch.
I'm starting to think that dude is actually Sheogorath in disguise.
That's just what Tzeentch wants you to think.


You called? I was in YAFB, little distracted.
Don't be silly, you're not Tzeentch :P

Someone remind me how you guys got stuck with this simpering douchebag as a legitimate candidate?

Hey, has anyone noticed that mind controlled aliens that die leave intact weapons? Because this is the second time now that I've gotten intact weapons after using mind control on an enemy and having that enemy die.

Also, my god plasma snipers with Double Tap and 115 aim are scary.
I have noticed that. And yes, they are :P

A good anti-chrysalid strategy is to have an assault with a shotty and the "free reaction shot within 4 tiles" perk.  Toss a SCOPE on him for better accuracy and crits, then post him up in a chokepoint.  Many dead chrysalids.  Works somewhat well against berserkers, too, but unless you've got two guys with Alloy Cannons you're not going to get a 1-hit kill and will probably be on the wrong end of a mauling.
That strategy would still work, actually. Have someone behind the assault shoot the berserker to draw it in range of the perk triggering radius. The berserker does not respond to damage from reaction fire and will keep moving towards whoever drew it.

Dunno why everyone's so surprised about the shottie's power :P

Maybe it's just because my first ever squaddie was an assault and I never knew you could switch to an assault rifle, but I've always known they were amazing.

Huh. I may actually start using shotguns.
You probably should. Run & Gun + Rapid Fire + Decent Shotgun = Dead Alien 99% of the time. Each shot, if you get close enough, has a 100% hit rate and something like a 75% crit rate without any extra skills or equipment that improve either.

Probably the best way to kill a powerful alien is to run an assault up and blast it in the face with your best-tech shotgun. If you have rapid-fire, even better.

Guys, I figured it out!

Worst Roommate Ever (tm) has an identical, good twin. He showed up to bail his evil twin (MSH's roomie) out of some trouble and ran into MSH, but forgot to introduce himself.
