Going to have to go Reaper for Vanya.


BTW, Bay 12's Sappho put up a video on editing LPs that you might find useful.

Blase will go with kill zone, just for giggles, as well as based on the idea that XCOM operatives should be smart enough to shoot back without the gremlin telling them to do so.

[LordPorkins]

FUCK YEAH! Porkins has a katana and an epic voice!


Edit: WAIT!

Could you make me not-black? Nothing racist, i just happen to be a piece of white trash in real life.

Also a goatee would be awesome

[Ashsaber]

Leeroy Porkins has been changed per request (see beginning of first video)
Also audio troubles aren't leaving me alone. Sad.

[Ashsaber]

Goddammit.
Ok, thanks for checking. Will fix.

[Burnt Pies]

Nooooo!

 

[Ashsaber]

Really it's a surprise it took over 100 missions for us to lose a Bay12er.

[Darkening Kaos]

     Oh, man!  Reducing the targets to one hit point Every.  Damn.  Shot.

     Maybe everyone in Heal Bus should have special ammo just to do that extra point of damage at the beginning of the alien's turn, or maybe, the solution is the liberal application of GRENADES.  Yes, I think more grenades is the answer here.

     And the Samurai isn't doing his best simply because he is not in uniform, he will do much better when he is finally in his hospital whites.   Yep, I'm certain that's the problem.

     It seems as though we might need a few more combats before we start to gel as a team, and I need to get used to being in command.  And I will order everyone to use more grenades, I don't want to return to the Skyranger with unused ordinance.  Also, not enough buildings being reduced to burning rubble, and raining debris down on unsuspecting passers-by.
