I keep thinking this song is going to turn in Freestyla

Find EU with Enemy Within for cheap and play that. Then once you have your bearings with a winning play through, download the Long War mod and play that.

Hmmmm.

I can't get behind people who say the long war is a good way to get into XCOM. You play Long War after you come to love

for XCOM.

If you don't mind the general ugliness of XCOM EU/EW, I'd go with OG XCOM and expansion. It's a simpler game, with just the right amount of complexity. If the new stuff in War of the Chosen seems like too much, then I'd go with this.

XCOM 2 has a lot more bells and whistles, especially with the expansion. So if you're into more complicated SRPGS, then feel free to grab XCOM 2 and WoTC.

What I ended up doing was play the base XCOM 2 game, then move onto WoTC. This is also a good way to go about your business.

 

[cordy]

For me, it's the perfect podcast game. Outside of the raids I rarely played D1 or now D2 without something else on in the background.

Perfect. It's how I am currently playing it right now if I'm going at it alone.

Awesome. Exactly what I want.

I haven't been in this thread in a long time, so hopefully this doesn't come as an intrusion. I just figured this might get shared here.

My desire was to use that moment in a teachable way, in a respectful way, because I cannot express how much I still miss my friend.

I hope that comes across in the story.

It's absolutely understood, though I completely understand the need to come here and get ahead of things.

They're going to be extra thirsty for murder after this wait. Time to get spicy!

Yeah, that's what I said. Long War after successful EU/EW play through.

My murder island t-shirt must have either been stolen or lost in the post. Gutted.

Have you tried emailing support?

Spicy? With Dan?

No, not yet. Don't want them to think I'm trying to scam t-shirts outta them lol.

Spicy scope collecting

Dan's not even playing first and he said he's going to be a team player now.

OH EM GEEEE will this ever start

I still feel it is going to morph into Bomfunk MC's Freestyler at any point

 

[Kalor]

I just started watching but didnt they start earlier? Did they have technical problems?

 

[Harpuia]

Yeah, that's what I said. Long War after successful EU/EW play through.

I'm not a general fan of Long War, mostly because their idea of what they want the game to be is More Units. Though props for working within the confines of XCOM.

If the price is not an issue, I'd honestly go with XCOM 2/WoTC. You could try out the vanilla game, then try your hand at WoTC once you're comfortable with the core mechanics.

If you're looking for a cheap time, XCOM+EW is also OK.

 

[Liquid Shake]

I just started watching but didnt they start earlier? Did they have technical problems?

Yeah they had some audio issues. Only starting now.

I think it does. There's a clear distinction between PDP and Ryan's handling of their outbreaks. Article does a good job of outlining everything IMO.

For Ryan specially, I never witnessed Ryan's outbreak live or anything, but I appreciate that he was mature enough to own what happened immediately and try to walk forward from there. You can't take back what was said--but you can prove it's not who you are.

XCOM2, especially with War of the Chosen, is the better game. But even at its easiest, it can be brutal.

Find EU with Enemy Within for cheap and play that. Then once you have your bearings with a winning play through, download the Long War mod and play that.

By the time you've beaten that, you'll be ready for War of the Chosen. Hell, by that point, it'll likely be cheap too.

I agree with this (minus Long War stuff because I haven't played it). XCOM the first is basically training for the sequel, which is superb.

But, while XCOM 2 and WotC can be brutal, so long as you're OK with a steep learning curve you will enjoy it--even as a complete novice.

I got the shirt a few weeks ago. I wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have a tracking number because that's how I found out where it was exactly.

 

[Teddified]

Don't worry guys we're on for Destiny talk with some gameplay in the background.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I feel like I need to play Destiny 2 - even though I got mad at sold the first after The Dark Below expansion

Your article (well written and the last part came across exactly as you wanted) got me to check back on Ryans apology note comments.

Same conversation, different day.

The S12K needs a nerf too. I landed near the house in Shooting Range, grabbed an S12K from inside, and one shot a guy coming out of the target practice area. I couldn't believe it.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Were people being shitty in chat

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Fuck Brian Busby!

Lol I also found Brian Busby on Twitter

That's so cool that Dan has met Bugs Bunny.

then why does it need a nerf? works as intended.

I wonder if the duders are sticking with D2 on PS4, or if we'll see anyone give up their progress and switch to PC

Shitty player name, I think.

Dan confirmed for worst duder.

How could someone not like Binary Domain?

 

[Xeteh]

Dan just said Binary Domain sucks... he was on thin ice before but now he's cut off, its done.

Alex being the only one alive is the least interesting thing that could happen on this stream.

Is it running at 60 FPS on console?
If not, I could see Brad changing or at least start another run

Do you hate this Weathermen commentary?

Happy Birthday honey, lets watch some Goldmember!

As somebody suggested before, there should be a rule where they just restart if 2-3 of them die in the first few minutes.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Alex hides for 20 minutes and then gets shot in the ass by someone he's unable to locate. Probably better off just doing the deed and starting a new game.

Meh. Who cares. It's nice commentary
