Let's Play X-COM Long War

[tber123]

I have a shiv name, "Metallica" Just have it shout out random metallica quotes that are fitting to the moment.

What kind of quotes, since I don't listen to metallica?

Damned Dams and Bloodthirsty Frenchies

EXALT was after a weapon. A weapon that could potentially wipe out X-COM and turn the war in their favor.


Badasses attending: SHODAN(Tank AI), Zhang, handicap Convention, Rigel, Wei Shen, Highway Robbery, Nooble the Noble

SHODAN: When my cyborgs bring you to an electric interrogation bench, you will learn more about pain than you ever wanted to know.
handicap Convention: This Dam is heavily damaged, but if we turn the valves we can delay the collapse.
Wei Shen: Gonna pop some heads today....



SHODAN: I see there's still an insect loose in my station.



SHODAN: You move like an insect. You think like an insect. You ARE an insect.



Highway Robbery: Muton is down! Let's hurry the hell up before the Dam collapses on us!



Highway Robbery: Two Sectoids merged into one? They combined? What is this anime stuff?



Rigel: That was easy!



Zhang: Moving in to flank. Their lives end here.



Rigel: Help! The aliens are giving me elipsey!



SHODAN: Prepare to join your species in extinction.
Nooble: Nice shot, SHODAN!



Highway Robbery: Rub some dirt on it! Quit whining about how much it hurts and stop delaying us with your slow ass!



Nooble: 85% Chance to Hit and I keep missing. What is this?



handicap Convention: THE ACID BURNS MY FLESH! HELP!



Rigel: Back to your own world, you inbred bastards!



Zhang: Ready for the fireworks?



*Miss with a shotgun*
Rigel: Damn it, Zhang--- *FWOOSH*



Zhang: They're good. But not good enough.

12 minutes later



Rigel: Central, package is secured.
Wei Shen: You can't assume yet..........


*Sounds of a struggle inside the truck*
Wei Shen: Halt! Probable alien inside the truck!
handicap Convention: It's asskicking time. Rigel, slowly open the door while I shotgun those Sectoid bastards....



Highway Robbery: The hell do we do about all the Sectoids behind us?
Rigel: What Sectoids?



EXALT 1: They..... Killed.... Everyone........... Hnnnnng............



Rigel: Who the fu---


*TWACK*
handicap Convention: What in the hell?


You alien bastards will all suffer!



Wei Shen: FREEZE!



*BLAM* *BLAM*


Please, you don't understand! I have to get to the others! You can't.... I.... YOU DON'T GET IT! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY OF US THEY KILLED?


Rigel: Jesus christ, that was loud!
Wei Shen: Clearly she's weaponized the power of her voice.
Highway Robbery: THIS is the weapon EXALT was after? Some random cheese eating surrender monkey? THE FRENCH? What the hell is a frenchie going to do---
SHODAN: Do not dawdle.


Y-You can kill them? How?


Rigel is going to be in the medical bay for maybe a month or so. Annette Durand, the prisoner we rescued, hit him in the face with a door pretty hard.


Wei Shen gets promoted and Annette is immediately send to the Gene Labs.

Bonus picture:


This is what happens when cutscenes are rendered in the game itself. Unintentional hilarity because of all the aliens left alive standing around.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY OF US THEY'VE KILLED?

Hon hon hon hon

[Rigel]

First of all, forget that hurt.

Second, here are some possible quotes for the shiv

"Luck. Runs. Out."
"Hunt you down all nightmare long!"
"Hunt you down without mercy!"
"This is your confession!"
"Feel us breath upon your face!"
"For whom the bell tolls!"
"For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know!"
"Time marches on!"
"Take a look to the sky just before you die, it's the last time you will!"
"Crack of dawn, all is gone, except the will to be!"
"He hits the flesh, you hit the ground."
"The sun will shine, this I swear!"

[Rigel]

Also, just for stuffs, name a guy "Jack Knife"

[Dreams_Of_Cheese]

in what crazy world do you live in op where you're still using ballistic weapons against mechtoids
what are you researching wtf

[tber123]

in what crazy world do you live in op where you're still using ballistic weapons against mechtoids
what are you researching wtf

Shotguns > Some stuffty laser SMGs that do less damage because we're too poor to afford full size laser rifles

Also, lasers are used by the classes that aren't assaults or capable of using shotguns



This is what I've researched so far



Also it takes a while for weapons to manufacture

[Dreams_Of_Cheese]

ah i see okay
i got my first LW mechtoid yesterday and almost lost my best medic and gunner. also lost a spec infantry but thats okay i guess

[tber123]

SHODAN: What have you done, you impudent insect?! If I am to die now, then I will avenge myself on you.



Wilson: Hold still......



Carter: Saving the day with fireworks!



Lee Hanson: That's the last of them so far.



Redshirt Charlie: SSSSH! Hear that? Its the aliens!



SHODAN: Do that again, Insect, and it will become your grave.

[tber123]

Not much happened at the base this week.

(This post isn't exactly a real update, but its to let you guys know that this isn't dead, even though the time between updates is increasing.)

Soldier Customization
(I finally get to customizing the soldiers)

New Arrivals

Jack Knife: Deadly doctor. Likes knives. His medical knowledge is good for not only saving lives, but ending it.
Metallica: Tank AI added as a request.

Research and Weapons


Gotta get them MECs.








New soldiers get added, the troops find a stash of helmets and hats, the guys in research and engineering do their jobs, and a satellite gets shot down.



Meet PODbot. He's a godamn android. We already have SHIVs named after famous AIs like SHODAN, so why not? Speaking of which, I should really name a Shiv GLADOS.



Next update: Mutons On A TrainNope.

[Rigel]

You should listen to a few of Metallica's songs, i've had many many MANY moments in XCOM that fit in perfectly with some lyrics.
