Herd of Cats

The HoC X-Com teams experiences true loss. The robot didn't make it

Engineering didn't have enough spare parts to rebuild Thunder-1. The brave SHIV provided exemplary service over three missions with five alien kills. He took the front line and drew fire to take the heat of his team mates. Colonel Q 'Cargo' Bert had this to say, "We'll miss that buckets of bolts. He was a true soldier and an important member of our team." He contiued on in a lower voice, "and a perfect replacement for the Colonel Blade guy as he (Thunder-1) could actually hit something."

When asked about Corporal S. Wag also KIA during 'Operation Empty Apollo' he responded, "who?"

The Dark World

On the Eight Day we rested

I'm just kidding. On the eighth day HoC X-com command fixed the Colonel Storm 'Nix' Blade problem. Although I am not sure calling it a problem is the right way to go. Let's just say the Colonel Blade's poor shot should no longer be haunting us.

That is, until we run out of motor oil...

PS- The Colonel's replacement is the one to the immediate right of Colonel Schafer.

True tragedy strikes the time

No, not losing Lt. Morice 'Ghost' Revek, that wasn't a tragedy, is was more of an acceptable loss for a positive outcome. It was a tough mission that I went through a few times. Getting through it and only losing Lt. Revek made me happy. Well relatively. What kind of commander would I be if I left the good Lieutenant's corpse lying there on the ground while I went to pour myself a drink. Wait aminute, that is exactly what happened. Never mind.

A dog on Herd of Cats? Don't worry, that's no dog, that's Toby

Okay, technically still a dog, but a dog owned by an HoC member which kind of makes it okay.

Toby and his "I have no idea what I am doing" vibe pretty much matched the tone of yesterday's LAN Party. It was a lot of fun for the four attendees, it was just random. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Two heavies leave. Only one returns.

I don't know how else to say this, Cpl. Pwn Call (Coxxorz) is no longer with us.

It was a tragedy that hit the team hard. Well... most of the team. While the majority of the team returned quiet and mourning, newly promoted Cpt. Gray Bush was surprisingly jubilant. I am not saying that Cpt. Bush's promotion came over Cpl. Call's cold, dead body but there is a significant amount of circumstantial evidence and some suspicious timing.


Okay, the Pwn Call / Coxxorz thing is starting to get annoying

I am too busy playing X-Com Enemy Unknown to write about X-Com Enemy Unknown

Please note there are two more casualties added into the banner. Those memorial X's are for A Troll and Snuffy D. A Troll will be missed. Snuffy D, well, not so much.

Technically there should be a lot more casualties on the list, Maj. Storm 'Nix' Blade (yes!) multiple times (yes!), Maj. Q 'Cargo' Bert, Sgt. Morice 'Ghost' Revk, Lt. I 'Mr. Clean' Ce, Sgt. Gray 'Casino' Bush, among others. But a weird thing happened.

I basically rage quit.

meh

Bahahaha

I laughed so hard when I saw this...pretty sure we've all done this to each other at some point ;)

Who will be the first to die in action?

There is no easy way to say this. Rookie A. Fadumamai did not return from his first mission. It was tragic. And sad. Next mission please.

My team before their first mission

X-Com Enemy Unknown is a game I have been watching since it was first released last October. I was interested and the reviews were solid at 89%. But I waited. I decided to wait until it dropped in price.

At least I think it's a keg. Could also be a salt shaker.
