HLPX-COM 3: A Very Firaxis Sequel
Well, it's that time again: time to play X-COM and get loads of forumites killed to no good purpose, and possibly save the world depending on how much and how badly I screw up. I promised to Let's Play this game when it came out, and against all good sense I'm gonna do it.

So we have four people from last time who never made it into HLPX-COM 2. Scourge of Ages, Talon 1024, esarai, and DireWolf volunteered to be cannon fodder back then, so they're going to be waist-deep in the madness that is X-COM now. In addition, there's the usual selection of people we're going to need, pilots, spare soldiers, a few research types. Oh and we're replacing Bradford, asshole doesn't know how to cover flanks, if somebody wants to man the floor in the war room, speak up.

Volunteers are encouraged to let me know their nationality so I can get it right if they're cannon fodder. No, I won't fix your gender or facial features. We'll talk about alternate armor kits when the game comes out, hopefully in the five hours Steam says it will.

The game actually has the soldier's nation-of-origin flag on their armor for at least some of the suits, so I'd like to get that right where possible.

Sign me up for cannon fodder. Doubt they have the Singaporean flag though

17:37:11   SpardaSon21: even the males?
17:37:22   Quanto: its not gay if its an elf

[21:51] <@Droid803> I now realize
[21:51] <@Droid803> this will be SLIIIIIGHTLY awkward
[21:51] <@Droid803> as this rich psychic girl will now be tsundere for a loli.
[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

Sign me up as the overly polite and somewhat snobbish British sniper if you may, good sir.
Though I doubt they will, if there is an England flag rather than a GBR one I would prefer that.
If you hit it and it bleeds, you can kill it. If you hit it and it doesn't bleed...You are obviously not hitting hard enough.

I can't guarantee a class (well, not without futzing with who's who after rookie), but I'll try.

Re: HLPX-COM 3: A Very Firaxis Sequel
If you need the extra meat, go ahead and toss me in. Here's hoping I won't get zombified or teamkilled this time around- dying heroically (for what it's worth in XCOM) against the alien menace is more my cup of tea.

Re: HLPX-COM 3: A Very Firaxis Sequel
Oh yeah, can't wait...
Just give me whatever flag feels appropriate, and a shotgun if possible. That should be enough. Heh. And a melee weapon when (if) available.

When I die, all I want is for the High-Definition™ footage of my exploding cranium to become part of the HLP X-Com training films (and maybe a clone).

American, preferably armed with something that will bring me eye to eye with the enemy (while peering through a high powered scope).

Re: HLPX-COM 3: A Very Firaxis Sequel
Pilot.  Of course.  No one here has as many sorties, kills, and flight hours as I do. :D

EDIT: First priority is Interceptor pilot, but I'll take the Skyranger if you need one.
