Seriously, the photobooth has gotta be one of the best ideas they had for XCOM 2. If only it was easier to turn the hud off and on tho.

My favorite thing about the Thin men in XCOM is how in this one concept art it looks like they look like they could absolutely kill it on the dance floor. Like yes king, work it!

You ever just crank out three OC refs in two weeks because the hyperfocus is so strong

Granted I have five XCOM OCs at this point but one of them dies with just the standard in-game design and more importantly these are the three I'm hoping to get ArtFight attacks for lmao

So! Bond, I've drawn her a lot. Cargo, not as much, but I've finally gotten the hang of her combat uniform so that helps. Less so her X2 design which is barely different from the in-game Warden Armor but eh fight me

Echi is, as you can see, very different from the canon Berserker. The idea for Echidna is that she was captured during EU/EW, by Cargo, back when Berserkers weren't sent out into combat naked. Moreover, Echi is the first of the alien captives to choose to trust and aid humans, and is the whole reason Cargo escapes HQ with her life; and drags Bond, along with those two other OCs, out with her. So once X2 rolls around Echi gets unique armour taking reference from the Warden Armor, the original EU/EW Berserker armour, and a bit of the Elite Muton armour. Her scarring comes from while she was still on the invaders' side.

Also by the time X2 rolls around, Cargo and Echi are married

It's rather rude to interrupt them like that

Today, I'm excited to announce a NEW LONG-FORM STREAM SERIES!

XCOM MONDAYS

I'm going to be starting an XCOM 2 Long War campaign, which could take over 100 HOURS to complete. We're in it for the long haul, now! TONIGHT!!! 3PM PST!!!

Also introducing: The "Adopt-A-Soldier" Program!

Take in any of our soldiers as your very own! Grow attached, watch them grow, and pray they SURVIVE! Did your favorite guy die? For 10,000 channel points, you can force me to reload my last autosave at ANY POINT! SAVE their life!

Got slightly burnt out replaying 3h so I've started a new XCOM 2 run, but because I hyperfixate on characters and someone made a voice pack mod with (almost) everyone, I decided fuck it, I'm making the Black Eagles in XCOM and future recruits (aside from the story-provided faction units) are going to be random characters from other houses.

Anyways, some highlights of the run thus far:

Bonded soldiers thus far include: Edelgard and Dorothea, Hubert and Ferdinand, Linhardt and Caspar, Bernadetta and Yuri, Petra and Claude, Balthus and Hilda, Hapi and Dimitri, Sylvain and Felix, and Lysithea and Lorenz. A couple were deliberate (Caspar/Linhardt and Bernadetta/Yuri), but the rest just kinda happened on their own.

I've somehow only had a single Covert Op get ambushed and OF COURSE it was the one Ferdinand and Hubert were sent on.

Me forgetting how PSI Operatives work so all the people I WANTED in that class are already other classes so as of right now Sylvain and Annette are filling that niche. Basically Sylvain can read minds and make people's brains explode now. And both rocking the white hair and glowing purple eyes.

On that note, RNGesus absolutely BLESSING Sylvain with the move pool.

Seteth soloing an absolutely MASSIVE horde of The Lost with a plasma pistol, and then him and Lorenz proceeding to beat down the Warlock (with a Teamwork assist from Lysithea) and eliminate him on the same turn he spawned in on that same mission.

Bernadetta suffering a panic attack and almost team-wiping the whole squad and having to be put in Stasis time-out by Sylvain.

Dimitri getting punched in the head and knocked unconscious by a Muton after accidentally blowing up the VIP that was ideally supposed to be captured alive in his very first deployment and Felix having to drag his unconscious body back to the Skyranger.

The entire mission to raid the Assassin's base and put her down. Lots of close calls and drama with the final fight with her having everyone on their last legs and no medkits left, Caspar goes down with the bleeding out status. Linhardt goes Berserk and charges the Assassin with only a couple pips of health left on himself, opens fire, and manages to crit her and eliminate the rest of her HP, bringing her down for good and winning the day.

The game's random nickname/callsign system decided to bestow "King Crab" to Edelgard and I found that so funny I kept it. Can only imagine the incident that led to that.

Anyways. Part of the fun of XCOM is the stories you make for yourself and I'm having a blast right now.

I will continue to share more shenanigans as they happen.

The phenomenon

[forsaire]

I don't know if I posted this already, and if I did, Tumblr is hiding it from me, but my delusions for those military war criminals are so strong it transcends games

Here are my xcom 2 characters just for the fun of it. Very "we have modern warfare at home" vibes.

Ghost

Fuck I didn't notice he blinked! Why did you blink?! bRO. He stunning brown eyes were just too powerful.

Soap

Like a little brownie on his head 😌

Price

Honestly? The closest of all the characters.

Gaz

My pretty boy... where has he gone... 😔

Laswell

She's taking no shit in whatever games she's in.

Alejandro

I completely forgot I had made his suit hot pink. Slay.

Rudy

This feels disrespectful to my boy. Justice for Rudy. Still not an operator???

Farah

Thank you for your service.

Valeria

Step on me.

Konig

Probably the funniest because of how absolutely cursed it looks.

And yes, I did take into account their classes and who I can special mate them to. And yes, I will be creating them again every time I play. They've saved the world twice now. Looking forward to a third.
