X-COM II: The Earth's Revenge (Part VIII)

[Blade6119]

You know i love ya godzilla(cept when you purposely kill me off and claim it was an accident)...take as much time as ya need, and good luck with the agent-to-be

[Tasan]

I have a cheap monitor option for you. Its called a KVM. It lets you use your Keyboard, Video, and Mouse between two or more computers. Here's an example:

They are cheap, you can find ones cheaper than that one above. I use one with my linux machine and old dos machine, and for a time I used it between my dos and windows xp machines. I'd recommend one over another monitor.

OOC: I just found this thread a few days ago and finally got all the way thru it. All I can say is...WOW! You have done a great job, it was a pleasure to follow.

Also, Many congrats on the new arrival GB.


IC:

To X-Com forces HQ,

These aliens must die. The aliens came to our government with proposals of "peace & harmony". Once the accords were written, the aliens rounded up most of the populice and they have not been seen or heard from since. (My parent were (2) of many to be taken).

I barely escaped detection myself and have been hiding ever since, 3 months now. I have done my best to "strike" at the alien hordes with "guerilla" attacks. However, I know that whatever damage I do, alone, is nothing more than a "fleabite" to the aliens as a whole.

I can only hope this communique reaches you, as I am sending this as my "Volunteer papers" to join the X-com forces.

I am handy with a laser and I am ready to give my all to the destruction of these invaders.

THESE ALIENS MUST ALL DIE, EARTH WILL PREVAIL!!!!!.

Just trying to catch up for the first time in months and all I can say is wow. Godzilla Blitz, you have done so much with this dynasty it is amazing. From the write-ups to the screenshots, to the awards...this is fantastic! And it's great that the 'cast' is including comments here and there as well. Keep up the great work!

And also, I'd like to get my name back on the waiting list...based on how much game is left, I think I stand a fair chance of getting back into the mix

Ditto. I was gone for even longer..too bad the old recap links don't work.

Awesome work GB. !

[Sectoid Leader]

X-COM is finished.

We win.

For giving me a false-joy induced blown aneurysm I hereby sentence the Sectoid Leader to a lifetime of watching "Who's The Boss?" episodes.

Jerk.

[tucker342]

[Godzilla Blitz]

That bastard is back again?

That can only mean one thing.

Lock and load gentlemen.

[JeeberD]

I can't wait to see how Blade6119 gets killed off this time...

Go X-Com!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hoopsguy]

I would like to be added to the crew if/when a spot becomes available. Thanks.

[3ric]

OK, we need to get medieval on the Sectoid Leader's ass. Someone check his IP adress to find out what computer he posted from!

[SirFozzie]

Big Bang Baby.. Remember.. if he ain't blown to pieces, you ain't using heavy enough ordinance!

[Blade]

Nice! Time to cleanse the Earth of the alien scum...

...or something like that!

So long as I can avoid getting my head blown off, I will be happy!

[The_herd]

If this actually is starting up again, I would love to get involved this time if there's a spot.

[Tasan]

GB, are we starting up again? I hope so!

[Tasan]

Dola, I just realized we lost the first 5 sections of our history, along with XCom I. Damn.

I think both GB and me have the stories saved somewhere... when the old board went down for a couple of days we made backups when we got back on.

[Glengoyne]

Oh I hope seeing this thread at the top of the page means GB's children have grown to self sufficency, so we can get back to purging the alien infestation.

I want to kill I want to kill I want to kill I want to kill

He's still alive? Oh, that's right, I still haven't posted a couple of the "pre-baby" missions that I have finished.

Whoops. Said too much. Said too much.

Hee hee.

I think it's just about time for the final push! I hope to go about a one "full-write-up" mission per week pace until we finish. Life with two little kids is unpredictable, though, so I might miss a week or two. I'll do my best. One of my New Year's Resolutions is to finish this thing, and we better get started.

I'll be starting a seperate thread tomorrow (1/15) for a roll call to check to see who's still here, then we'll be off. We'll reshuffle people around to get our active agents in Europe and Asia, then get back into action!

Also, welcome to everyone who has asked to sign up! I'll put your names down on the roll call roster in the order you've posted here. Please reconfirm by posting in the roll call thread once it's up.

It's going to take a little while to figure out where we were, as there were a lot of agents going in all different directions, and there are a couple of unposted missions from before that I still have to post. I've also got to hook up my old computer and get the saved game transferred to my laptop, where I'll run the game from for the time being. The game seems to fun fine on that computer, so I don't foresee any problems with getting us back in gear. My guess is that our first mission can go up by Monday night, and I'll aim for Sunday nights from there on out.

Most of the old links are kaput, but 3ric and I have saved files. This, of course, only helps 3ric and me. Stupid question, but is there an easy way to post the saved threads to a web page? I've got some web space on my cable account, so I could put them up there.

We'll also move to a new thread when we start again.

Welcome back! Get ready to rumble! Look for the roll call thread tomorrow!

[Vince]

Woo-hoo! Good to see things back up and running, and good to hear that the little one is doing well

I've been lurking for a little while, but this fantastic dynasty has brought me out. If you are still looking for fresh meat, Shaef would be honored to be included

Hey this guy is a serious lurker. His only post is a request to get into your Dynasty Gb.

[Lokugh]

Just a note...I am still reading, but I won't be here tomorrow or over the weekend to sign in. So, I am reporting in now.

[Lokugh]

Oh, btw, I just played the new Xcom Aftermath Demo (came on the CGW CD this month). Looks like a winner.

[SplitPersonality1]

Excellent!

[Godzilla Blitz]

Roll Call Thread is up and running! Go there and report back for duty!

Lokugh: I got a copy of that game in a trade but haven't played it yet. I've heard good and bad. Interested to see how things work.

Joker Ace, The Herd, Hoops Guy, ShaefIllini: Welcome! I hope you enjoy it!

Glengoyne: I might be wrong, but I think a couple people have done that. First post, 2,000th post. It's all good, eh?

Tasan: Thanks for the idea on the monitor. I think I'm going to play the game on my laptop for the time being. That seems to work fine, and it's free. At some point I'll grab another monitor and let my son use my old computer.

Well, all I have played is the demo, which means I could not get into any of the strategy portions of the game (research, training and the like). But the combat portion is pretty nice. It is RTS, but works almost turn based, the way it is set up. You issue orders and then turn on the time so your soldiers carry them out. If one of them run out of orders, or something new occurs (one of them gets hit, or they see a new alien or some such) the time stops so you can issue new orders (or you can stop it yourself, if you like and change orders).

The alien creatures seem more...alien. Although the alien with the M16 seemed a bit strange (at least it looked like an M16...)
