Does anyone here know what Chris's secrect is to not losing a soldier? I'm playing X-Com on Classic difficulitesn and a fricken sectoid shots from across half the map at someone in full cover behind 3 walls and 2 doors and its a critical hit killing him instantly, where my whole team then goes ape-shit and panicks or don't even hit a 75%-95% shot. How? I tell you this game makes me rage more than any other.

While his style does have a tendency to bother me a bit from a spectator, he does a very good job in general of plain not getting shot at. So many times he will move all, if not most of his soldiers out of vision from the aliens or hunker downs full cover ones. The AI seems to do a very poor job of discovering xcom units and then making proper decisions about it, yet his playstyle baits the AI into doing it anyway. His overall play is so safe that it more than makes up for the occasional gaff.
What browser are you using? I know the big ones, Firefox and Chrome, have spellchecks integrated so flipping it over to the English dictionary while writing could alleviate some of your issues, while subtlely teaching you over time.

Grammar correction remains troublesome for automated systems, this seems the bigger issue over spelling.Gahlo said:What browser are you using?

Almost 300 hours of play time helps. When I'm recording, I think I'm a lot more careful than when I'm not. I want the series to go well so people have videos to watch and enjoy. IF I'm just playing on my own, I notice I'm a bit more careless/speedy. Forcing myself to speak my thoughts out loud help me to avoid shitty mistakes.

Considering how my own attempts at Ironman Impossible seem to go, I might just try to imitate that.

It's also hardcore pod control from what I've seen. Chris deals with one pod at a time, and tries not to activate too many accidentally. It effected my playthrough after watching some of these vids, and while I am not brave enough to try ironman, my classic run is celebrating few losses overall :>

Sometimes the plans you make and what you intend to do has little resemblance to what actually occurs.

Do you know what's worse than nine sectoids running around? Fifteen Chryssalids. I am never going on a Terror Mission without a Mimetic Skin soldier again.

It's okay, they can't see me... even though we learned about bioelectric skin from cutting them open and how to show invisible enemies as a result... but I'm sure that doesn't mean they can see me. I'm sure that there's no chance they can... why are they laughing?
