I gave someone terrible advice during a stream because I thought that Sectopods could overwatch forever.  Apparently this isn't the case, its just a known glitch with disabling shot, and/or me seeing them overwatch twice and extrapolating that they could do it forever.

Anyway, now that I know that they're a million times less terrifying.  Fun fact, I once had an assault with lightning reflexes get hit by a Sectopod overwatch because he got shot twice in the same dash.

The new Sectopods are why I now use smoke grenades and suppression. Gawd they are tough, weren't they supposed to weak to lasers but not anymore?

There are many thing I am thankful for this year. Papers, Please was awesome. Enemy Within was awesome. BLOOD DRAGON WAS AWESOME! Monaco was fun.

GOG had a great sale this winter and Edios rereleased Startopia. PC gaming had a good year in some respects and a poor year in others. I got the original Fallouts for free, but also watched what remained of the Sim City franchise go up in embers (listen to your fanbase rather than try to create a $60 Farmville simulator...)
It also seems that the PC FPS/RTS genres were quite weak for this year (though AOEII got an expansion, the rerelease was kind of meh for me.)

There were very few I MUST BUY THIS GAME moments this year. Perhaps I am getting older, perhaps things seem less new and less interesting. 

Sadly this dorf will never be able to dress himself, so he will have to endure clothing rot and being filthy. He can harvest plants I believe... I say make him a tomb and let him fight a Jabberer with his feet. GO OUT IN A BLAZE OR GOREY errr GLORY.

Man, base defense was crazy. So many grenades, soooo many.

This has got to be one of the messed up things I've ever read.

I had extra embark points so I took 20 cats. By the summer my carpenter adopted ALL of them.

You know what you must do.

RELEASE THE CATKRAKKEN!

Building my first volcano fort in a long while, thinking of doing a clay industry (got two potters who like stoneware .) It's a frozen taiga biome. Haven't tapped a volcano tube since I tried colonizing the interior of a volcano though. That fort was called Burnward for a reason... hoping to have less causalities this time around.

You could also smooth the ice when the river refreezes, that will prevent the ice walls from melting.
