    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    Actually, I've missed with grenades too, and I can't blame it on mods since I don't use them. As we all likely know, a grenade can miss even if it clearly has line of sight if you're one pixel to far to one side or the other and the game claims you can't hit. However, I've learned the hard way...

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    Good luck convincing Odd to allow that. If I remember correctly, he specifically said one character per person in the season four rules. I'm sure I'm mainly to blame for that specific rule, since by the end of season three, I had my main character, along with two other regular characters, two...

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    I can swear that I've missed a 100% shot once. I don't know if there was a glitch or something, all I know is stared at the screen for several seconds, then I paused the game, calmly put the controller down, stood up, and cursed so frantically and for so long that everyone ran into the room to...

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    Come now, people, didn't anyone ever tell you that if you over-analyze a joke, you ruin it. To quote famed American writer E.B. White: "Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested, and the frog dies of it."

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    Looks good ao far. Body shape, pose, and hair make me think of Claire Redfield with an attitude. Makes me wish I had any talent to draw.

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    Right next to him? Because if it was close enough to him, the Thin Man's released gas upon death would have killed him anyway. Sounds to me like the definition of being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Sadly, the 98% miss doesn't surprise me all that much...

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    Yeah, my trouble with the chryssalid mission came from me not knowing what to expect, so I went in with only five soldiers and most of the original weapons. And I feel your pain. I can't even begin to count how many well-laid plans went to hell all because some jackass came out of no where and...

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    If your talking about the mission with the Chryssalids popping out of the whale, I'm sure most of us have had a bad experience with that one, especially the first time we played it if you're not prepared for it, and I wasn't. I, too, discovered on this mission that the Chyssalids are a lot...

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    And thus we have the problem when you try to match up two opponents from games with completely different rules. You can always claim the one with he home field advantage will win. But in a neutral field that combines both rules in some way, I'd put my money on Sora. Remember, a well placed guard...

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    He took out Large Bodys, Fat Bandits, an Ice Titan, an Earth Titan, a giant three-headed hellhound, the god of the Underworld, a pissed off genie, a sea witch the size of a sky-scrapper, Chernobog, and the friggin' One-Winged Angel himself, all in the first game. Call me crazy, but I don't think...

    Had to make this one in microsoft paint, so don't judge too harshly.

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    I'd be too afraid of getting infected with the T-virus by eating a Chryssalid, and I'm sure eating a Muton would be like eating a burger from a cow that was given a bunch of artificial growth hormones. Personally, I'm gonna stick with Earth food, and some good old fashion, naturally home grown...

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    I think you'd be pretty disappointed if you expected a big meal. You'd end up making your way through all that armor, only to end up with about three bites.

    X-COM THINK TANK (Out of Character Discussion about X-COM and the Series)

    A healthy imagination, an unusually vivid memory of movies, and google images.
