🤔 NEW HERE? 🤔
Hi! My name is Christopher Odd and I’ve been playing video games on the internet for a few years. I really enjoy a variety of games but generally lean towards games with a unique and engaging story (Bioshock, The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, The Last of Us etc), strategy/roguelike games (XCOM 2 War of the Chosen, Darkest Dungeon, etc), and RPGs (Dark Souls, Dragon Age, etc). Of course, I am always looking for great indie games too!

XCOM 2 is the sequel to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the 2012 award-winning strategy game of the year.
Earth has changed. Twenty years have passed since world leaders offered an unconditional surrender to alien forces. XCOM, the planet’s last line of defense, was left decimated and scattered. Now, in XCOM 2, the aliens rule Earth, building shining cities that promise a brilliant future for humanity on the surface, while concealing a sinister agenda and eliminating all who dissent from their new order.
Only those who live at the edges of the world have a margin of freedom. Here, a force gathers once again to stand up for humanity. Always on the run, and facing impossible odds, the remnant XCOM forces must find a way to ignite a global resistance, and eliminate the alien threat once and for all.
XCOM ON THE RUN: Take command of the Avenger, an alien supply craft converted to XCOM’s mobile headquarters. New open-ended gameplay lets you decide where to guide your strike team, how to grow popular support, and when to combat enemy counter-operations.
RECRUIT RESISTANCE FIGHTERS: Five soldier classes, each with its own skill tree, let you create specific soldiers for your tactical plan.
TACTICAL GUERRILLA COMBAT: New gameplay systems offer more tactical flexibility in combat. Use concealment to ambush enemy patrols. Loot enemies for precious gear and artifacts. Rescue VIPs and save fallen comrades by carrying them to the extraction point.

PERSONAL LOG #19 (Episode 65)
Asa “Rapunzel” Brouwer
On Avenger
Two weeks. I have been recovering for over that, really. It has given me time to reflect and to read. Kate left her journal, and while it feels wrong to read a person’s journal when they are alive, when they are gone… it feels more like learning who they were. I have learned so much about her now. What her favorite foods were and what music she likes… liked. I have learned that she had dreams that went far beyond winning the war.
I still feel numb when I think about what happened… how it happened. I still see the alien that rushed me. How it struck me, out of nowhere. How did it even move that fast? I still feel the pain of the hit and then hearing Kate scream. I heard what our Templar did to her… her body. I haven’t even talked to her about it and probably won’t. I know in reanimating her body, she saved us… but I just can’t see it that way. I don’t think I could even forgive her for it.
The journal though. It gives me hope. I guess, it is like Kate’s story is still here and I can read it anytime. I may have never gotten to know her as much as I wanted, but I can now… almost feel her watching me. So, I am taking my time and reading it and smiling as I see the pictures she drew. Who knew she was an artist?
Part of my rest has been exercise. Running. So much running, because I am just too slow. I am sure the Command can tell when I lag behind with that cannon, and it makes me a detriment to the field. But no matter how much I train, I can never get faster. I need some intense workout routine or something. I wonder if I am being skipped for missions because I am slow, or because I cannot shoot as fast as others. I really was never meant to be a soldier, I guess. But life doesn’t give you a choice.
I have heard several teams go out since I healed, and my name is never called. I think maybe I am a failure, and everyone knows it. So, I read, train, and wander the halls. I don’t even talk to anyone anymore. I just don’t know if I want to open up… again. Two times is enough, right?
I am sure my therapist wants me to keep an open mind to others. She wants me to reach out and find comfort with those that have also lost someone. But I just… I don’t know if I can. This war is testing everyone, and some take to the bottle, and others workout in the gym. Me, I listen to music and read. It seems to be the only thing I have control over anymore.
Speaking of losing control of your life.
I heard that they are putting in people to be… I am not sure how to describe it. Ripped apart and put in a box… sorry, a SPARK? I cannot imagine a worse ending than to lose your limbs for science. Poor Petrol was the first and I am sure not the last. Is it worth losing your humanity to save humanity? I don’t know. I just know I am terrified of the idea. I have walked by the MEC Bay once or twice and peaked in and everything I see makes me think that we have a mad scientist onboard Avenger that is more than happy to tear apart people. Are we worse than the aliens?
What would I do if… I don’t even… I just can’t think like…
END LOG
Yeah Chris you need to check the box for showing unknown enemies since leaving it unchecked showed floater raiders (previously unknown enemy type) in the shadow chamber menu
Oscuradad's build seems insanely good.
29:45 Odd discovers that Hard Luck is living up to the name "Hard Luck" in the most hard luck sort of way.
Amazing.
A+
No notes.
friendly reminder that tourist has silent killer and does not reveal on kills
HARD LUCK: "Hey guys, I think my luck is changing! Took $200 off the Commander in the poker game last night!"
"Hard Luck, report to squad bay for next mission."
HARD LUCK: "Wait, where's my armor?"
SUPPLY SARGEANT: "Those are $200 each to build. Commander says to tell you we're short of funds this week. Oh, and your on scout duty."
HARD LUCK: 😦🤬
OBSCURADADDY: "That's some hard luck, man."
O7
Thank you for your video.
I think exposing the purifier with the micro missile was better than dragging a possible towards you but that’s just me
Not gona lie im kinda sad petrol got chosen for becoming a mectrooper as I was a fan lets hope his new bulid will be just as cool
Please Commander try to save as much Exalt as you can! It'd be soo cool to see them "repent" and fight against Advent! 🙂
A lot of hacks are inconsistent ! you can have double the hacking power and still no chance to have a successful hack
i think it's with the requiem units if i remember correct
no grabbing exalts?
Odd really loves to Justice enemies in… especially enemies with return fire and some sort of explosive potential.
He has already done that EXACT same thing TWICE before in this campaign lol
Commander Odd has a serious disdain for shotguns, for they are too strong

I think the Mech Warrior mod should allow you to put in high level people and they come out at the same level or a roll up to minus 2 (compensate for a "new" body). That way you aren't starting from zero when they transition and can use them almost immediately. This is also how I think transitioning psyonic should work too.
For reapers and those with grapples is there an ability to pull allies with the hook? This way you could get people out of hazards or into farther positions. Seeing as these units are meant to help control the field by pulling those from cover and get themselves in the middle of a fight it feels like it would make sense for them to do something like this. There could also be a secondary or third class option that allows this and has the skills to climb walls or boost base stats more than abilities (homage to spider man).
Always fun to see a dead Floater dance through half the map. 😀
@1:00:00 why the break dancing robots???
If you capture exalt do you not get their weapons.? You keep complaining about not having the supplies to buy equipment so why not capture it? If you dont want to keep the soldier just dismiss them and keep the gear.
No armor. Now that is some rough rookie hazing.
The mod team did a laudable job presenting a broken hacking experience in a strong attempt to have Odd actually utilize a portion of the game he has largely ignored for 8 seasons. He is still not using hacking at anywhere near full potential, but I am hoping he will come to see that it is a fun tool and perhaps use it even in its normal state in future campaigns.
Oscuridad with "meant to do that – lightning hands – frantic fire" possible 5 pistol shots for free. I have a scout/gunslinger with secret shot that will use this combo and ruin pods before they know what hit em.
My hunch is that the low scientists/engineers message is because of the Praetorian autopsy project. It requires seven of each, so it's triggering whatever condition is required for the message saying 'You don't have enough'.
Pulling in the Purifier was a… certainly a uh… decision that you made…
Odd describing the next mission … hack the work station in ADVENT facility
1 min later describing the squad … I’m not bringing hacking or anything like that
Never change Odd. I’m loving this season, my favorite so far.
Who pulls a purifier into your own group?!?! LOL
Cookie needs to lay off the baked goods, she’s lagging behind the others
Some hard luck for Hard Luck
Man only a few turns in and so many mistakes…
Hey Odd, if you do increase the pod sizes, please make it configurable, as playing alongside you in this campaign and knowing what is coming, I'd rather keep the sizes the same for my own playthrough.
Nice my exhalt guy showed up. Still hopeing i see my x com guy but at least i get to see one of the guys i made lol
Hello Mr.Odd. Please play Finding Frankie. My friend and I quite enjoy how you play and think it would be most entertaining if you do choose to play this one!
1:28:10 : You're also not using Silent Killer to its full potential. >_>
Ima be honest, I have zero idea when the last retaliation was.
LOL, my wife has birthday month as well!
When I try to do numpad plus the speeding up doesnt work. Is there something in the settings? Im running the same modlist.
I don't understand why you're not executing EXALT. Don't they just come back higher level if they evac?
That solo ambush didn't work because only 1 soldier in the zone actually moved, most overwatched or hunkered, which wouldn't trigger the ambush. The EXALT that moved through the zone wasn't highlighted by Ambush when it was set.
Armour are for newbies, Commander Odd!!!
"Sorry Hard Luck, but we are on a tight budget right now. Upgraded armour is given only to ranks Corporal and above.
However, the commander has send you this T-Shirt with his logo on it for the mission. Never forget – the commander loves you!"
35:50 I don't know what the elite Puriffier said about Melk's Mum to taunt him, but it was surely working 😀
Burning is consistent, just not the actual damage. I believe it is based on the effect that applies it (i.e. dragon rounds should do less burn damage than a chemthrower) but I'm not sure about it honestly.
Regarding why the stunlancer wasn't burning, I believe someone else mentioned it in an earlier episode as well:
You grazed the target, which causes the burning to have a chance based proc instead of it being guaranteed
Also panicked targets tend to hunker down, which cleanses burn specifically, although this was not the case here
I'm pretty sure you need 'Chosen Information' to progress hunting them. This is usually an unlisted mission reward or loot
Untouchable +Duel is a nice combo.
Can't wait for the moment when exalt and chosen spawns in a mission… Shame we will not get Odds face to see the terror in his face 😀
Love the breakdancing Exalt soldier.
This one felt really epic, thanks for the awesomeness!!! 😁
The classic medic build is so good. I wouldn’t bother with any mod that gets rid of them.
