🤔 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.

"making contact is sooo expensive" – while litterally hovering over a "reduce contact cost" scanning site…..

promotes Old Man to major – 10min later: "ohh old man is a major now cool".
The comander's attention to detail is superb as always 😉
Enemy AI always (!) knows where your units are. It is the main feature of x-com gameplay loop. That is why they can discover your concealed units "by accident" or casually move away from your sniper's line of fire.
31:40 see for yourself 😂😂😂
I fell SO far behind, finally caught up, feels like you're having more fun this season even amongst the pain and the requiem
The next mission gives me a sense of deja vu, very similar team comp as well, if the assassin shows too… I hope history doesn't repeat itself back in EP 45!!!
I think that in cover ops with 2 people is prudent to go stealth, but with 3 is safe to go loud.
Every time I watch you play this I wanna play it on my Xbox, but there are only so many times you can play the dame game, so wish I had a PC so I could have this kind of game experience
Flawless mission commander
I'm so glad Odd finally bought the infiltration upgrade in the GTS.
How is odd speeding up the game?
What in the world was the thinking behind forcing yourself to get revealed? I mean i get wanting to try and help tourist but even without hindsight the help wasnt needed. IF tourist had been revealed, on the next turn you couldve just ran her back into the room where all of your soldiers wouldve been overwatched on high ground.
Great job taking care of things the way you did and fantastic mission overall commander but the risk of creating chaos in the way that happened was unnecssary to me and weird on why we panicked with tourist being where she was. But again, everything else was basically picture perfect
I think if you can’t fully kill it, it just goes into melee mode so it can’t shoot and if it dashes then it can’t do anything
There is a mod to stop scanning when a bond level up completes. It's called "Pause Scanning [WOTC]". I personally turn off the setting to stop scanning when a soldier heals or recovers from shaken, but the bond level up works great.
I do think that the enemy in the games does “cheat” and have an idea of where the squad is when they are in concealments, as they will get more accurate information on where you squad are and “chase” you down. I think is just a way game tries to make sure the player don’t just completely cheese the game and basically stealth the entire game. But they probably did not taken Reapers small detection radius into consideration

Rest Days

Th' ambush was flawless. There's been some strong debate between th' intel personnel. It got pretty heated after Cedric an' Cookie returned. Some arguing to fight the Advent forces, others calling for running the length. Personally, the difference is if you have stealth abilities or not. It's not really my place to interject soo A'll keep to my own over here on th' feeds.
…
A've caught up on mission reports an' based on what A've seen today, it seems these Requiem units continue to evolve an' get stronger. A've experienced their corrosion damage before. It's no frolic in th' glen, A'll tell you that much.
Flawless run from th' team today. Promotions for Halx an' Old Man. Good for them. Old Man is probably one of my favorite comrades to go on missions with. He's a very good shot. Also, Th' new recruit, Idol, I like her look. Th' hair, armor. Everything about it. Fantastic.
…
New mission up for us. A've been selected along with Asa, Keala, Ironclad, Ymr, and Knightfather. It's another rescue mission to bring back Sasaki. This really reminds me of th' Salamantis rescue. Gonnae have to use this mission as closure I suppose. We're headed off to infiltrate as far as we can. Mibbe I can get a promotion off the back of this one. This should take us less than a week. High efficiency work.
That's me.
You know, it was sneeky mission. Foto of Wraith should be empty. 😉
Is hard to believe how lucky I am for being able to enjoy this amazing series everyday. So many, many thanks for all they awesome work put into it, it really makes an important part of my day!!! 😁
Double mechin!
Exo-Suits unlock Heavy Weapons, which BIT Pilots and MECs can use. They also grant extra health and armor compared to Predator.
— WotC Season 9 Scoreboard #10 (through Ep. 55) —
Statistical leadership has claimed another victim, as Rommel "Rogue" Salamantas falls to the most persistent/most genius/cheesiest Taipan ever while leading all soldiers in both KPM and DPM, thus allowing Samuel "Teach" Bozemin to ascend to the throne in both categories. "Teach"’s rise is not from any lack of volume either, as he has also moved onto the lists for Total Kills and Total Damage, at 4th and 2nd place, respectively. Jeancly "The Cly" Caruso has also jumped up in the per-mission stats, moving into 3rd for KPM and 5th for DPM. "The Cly"’s jump owes a bit more to the Lost, however, 17 of which on ep. 52 allowed him to tie the single-mission kills record, giving him 26 of his 41 total kills against that one specific enemy type. Amy "Collux" Penton and John "Old Man" Smith managed to extend their leads in Total Kills and Total Damage, respectively, although "Collux" continues to struggle with availability after yet another major wound. "Old Man" does not suffer from the same problem, however, as he has posted his 11th mission unwounded, tying Anna "Tourist" Carpenter for the lead in that category. "Tourist" also continues to dominate in Accuracy, maintaining her lead with an ongoing streak of 26 consecutive hits, although Richard "Foehn" Vickers remains perfect at 24 of 24, simply lacking 4 shots to qualify for the list at the moment. The theme of redemptive EAS performances continued, with Jessica "Geo" Strauss putting up an incredible +3.00 on ep. 54, beating the previous single-mission record by nearly a full point. Lejule "Warwolf" Wulfson has been less fortunate, falling into the Stormtrooper award due to improvements from some of his colleagues. However, "Warwolf" has found a weapon that doesn’t require much precision, dropping a BIT bomb on a Berserker and a pack of Lost for 51 damage, the new record for a single attack.

Two flawless missions. Incredible!
Can reapers even be revealed with the mod that lets you ignore the first detection tile, since they only have the one tile? So while it seemed scary, that unit was actually in no danger.
It's a well known fact (for me) that the game cheats. I had more than one instance of enemies going out of their way to expose my hidden units. Like muton running trough half a map just to end riiiight next to my well hidden and out of the way and out of the fight reaper…
Odd: opens doors of a subway train within 5 meters of a guard
also Odd: there gotta be some hints for them of where we are!
Yeah, like these large noisy doors opening for no reason

Just wanted to point out that Caerbannog its a she not a he, at least what the character model shows. Being an Advent soldier before may had mutations on her body but in the backstory it was a she
HE LOOKED IN RES&DEV!
Also:Sun Tzu you savage.
I've been playing this mod list on legendary Odd, and I vote you fight through the ambushes. In my experience, you just need to sacrifice a couple of half decent weapons and you can kill the drop squad on overwatch and the following turn. Then it's solo enemies the rest of the way. Taking a soldier with suppression makes it a breeze.
Wraith 1 in effect
If Odd ever sends Old Man, Vegan, Butter, Melk, Cookie, Glue in a mission – there is a title there for an episode.
Omg the end meme killed me 🤣

0000 Hrs, Tunnels

Caron: With the amount of explosives XCOM used, I’m not surprised that the tunnel collapsed nor did the fact that you thought that using the MK4 transmitter was a good idea. What surprised me is that you managed to get said MK4 transmitter into said tunnel.
…
All local forces were overwhelmed but the core on the Spark is somewhat salvageable.
…
Yes, they are robust but the AI isn't linked to the network and–
Julian: THAT'S A PROBLEM FOR YOU ADVENT PUPPET? YOU WATCH YOUR TONGUE YOU FU– Hey, what are you doing? No, don't touch
<SKRZZT>Caron: Actually, nevermind. It seems to have blown a fuse.
End Recording
Yeah, enemies definitely do follow you in ambush missions. That's why trying to sneak is so risky. I'm glad it worked out here, but one unlucky move could have ended in disaster. It still seems like it would be better to stand and fight the reinforcements and then take the rest one at a time. I mean, it was two troopers and a sectoid. You could have handled it.
