So I've been playing this again, and I've been streaming it (on
Twitch). Which has been a lot of fun! I've done a little Nuclear Throne, a full play (on easy) of Dungeon of the Endless, and now starting in on XCOM: Enemy Within since I never played it and want to prep for XCOM 2.
XCOM: Enemy Within, Let's Play—Imminent Sequel Panic!It was going really well until it, uh ... stopped going really well.

Highlight ReelAnyway, I'm remembering how great this game is, and can't wait for XCOM 2. But I also discovered
The Long War, a mod that's apparently top-notch amazing, and basically is the ultimate way to play this game. I don't have the balls to even begin to want to try that at this point, but some of you guys might be interested. It adds and changes classes, adds tech and research stuff, weapons, new mission types, changes up the way the aliens work, and generally makes things way harder and the campaign much longer. It's really ambitious and apparently carries it off really well, to the point that the guys who made it are forming a studio and working on their own strategy game now. Check it out!
