"I believe we have done all we can today. We shall return to our clan and start relocating. Our current whereabouts are not very pleasant. Your map will come in handy in regards to that."

"Relocate where? Sun will be down soon and we can't get walls or shelter built in that time. Not to mention we still have to find places on map and scout them."

My best solider ever was a squadsight sniper nicknamed Helsing. He had a ridiculous killcount and was my very first psi-user. The best part was, he never died! He made it to the very end of XCOM EU, and he was either in it from the beginning or came on shortly into the game.

If we're going by favorites who died, that would probably have to be Grande, my heavy. He was on the very first squad, and eventually died fighting three mutons at the same time, at least one of which was an elite. Probably his best moment was when he overwatch'd a heavy floater out of the sky while it was busting through a skylight.

Sounds like something I'd play, tbh.

Killing off a named character around episode 4 is actually really clever. That gives you a few eps to show the character as an integral part of the team, so the death has some meaning. And it keeps you guessing from then on. You no longer have the security of knowing all the characters are going to survive every encounter: nobody is indispensable and every fight could see another character kick the bucket.

Yeah, I'm bothered by how well that works despite the fact that it's completely meaningless. Attack on Titan does this well enough that people are convinced that anyone important ever actually dies in it.

The only important characters who've ever died have been friggin villains AFAIK.

Did Hannes count as important?

Spoiler: Still manga (click to show/hide)

No, he never did anything at all of consequence. The only important characters right now that I can think of are Erin, Mikasa, Armin, Bertolt, Reiner, Ymir, Annie, Historia, Hange, Levi and maybe Erwin. I was actually damn impressed when an earlier chapter made it look like Hange had died, but she didn't, goddamn, that was some One Piece-level crap to survive too. One Piece has the excuse of basically nobody dying ever, except moms.

Unrelated to any of the above, lately I've been having the strangest itch to create an AMV. Considering that I have virtually no video editing experience, just how inadvisable is this?

I would imagine it's only good once. When you choose the in-game option to download pokemon via codes, it warns you not to lose your internet connection during the process or your code could become invalid. Something along those lines, anyway.

Cost a bit more than I wanted to pay, partly because you have to buy the charger seperately.

I greatly object to having to do this, especially since I think the 3DS XL has a different charger to the 3DS.
Price gouging to the max.

It doesn't. I use my old 3DS charger for my 3DSXL just fine.

Looks like GMG won't be sending out keys until the game is released. So don't get any pre-loading hopes up. Actually, if past experience is any indication us GMG folks won't get our keys for at least 24 hours after release
