*Salutes Witty and Buddha*

Shit I forgot that came out today. I really want it.

I tried playing Tera but while the game is decent enough the community is a toxic cesspool of griefers and spammers I couldn't bear to stay in for very long.

Yeah. Witty was that guy, but sadly he wasn't available for this mission. I've never had as much fun sucking at a game this hard before.

This ironically leaves Witty as the only surviving member of the crew. Bet he's glad he had to go to the hospital. Tyrone got screwed by a lucky shot. Literally the first time he's ever been hurt in combat and it kills him. Buddha got sandwiched by Floaters and couldn't get out of their range. Took them a lot of turns to kill him, but I made the mistake of giving him Squad Sight instead of Snap Shot, so it was either move or shoot for him. Dakka ate combined fire from about 8 guys at once. He was the first casualty. Buskirk decided all of a sudden he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. And Ishikawa. Ishikawa was a ridiculously lucky son of a bitch for a while. He killed three aliens in a row by hopping to cover right next to them, and then shotgunning them in the face. It came down to two enemies. He shot one, who survived...then was killed by a car exploding at point blank range, injuring Ichikawa as well, leaving him with no cover, and no escape from the last guy's attack, who simply jetpacked over to him, put the gun against his head, and pulled the trigger. Three times. Not even the devil's own luck could save him then. In the morning I'll put together a new crew. Dakka gets a reserved spot for his character surviving to Lieutenant and being an all around badass. Expresate gets one because he just called dibs. Three more slots. Who wants 'em?

Mission Report: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WChTqYlDjtI

Mission report: Buddha Zilla (Sniper) promoted to Corporal after only two missions. Corporal Witty Name (Support) Gravely Wounded, but he'll live. Saved a lot of Civilians today. He should be proud. Lieutenants "Crash" Dakka and "Deacon" Tyrone continue to perform admirably. Squaddie (Support) Broby Dark KIA by a zombie due to bad intel (poor bastard stayed to fight and kill a Chrysallid, not knowing the civvy it'd killed right next to him would arise and lay him out with a single swipe).

Lieutenant Doctor "Crash" Dakka (Heavy) continues to provide valuable suppressing fire and racks up a respectable number of kills per mission. Squaddie Kayo Kayohgee (Heavy), due to his injuries, tends to Panic at inopportune times, and thus has remained kill-less since his promotion to Heavy, but does have a Stunned Outsider under his belt from the most recent mission. Squaddie Witty Name (Support) was KIA by a dirty critical hit from a Floater that hopped behind his cover. Rookie ICB Moose (Support, Version #4) was tragically KIA while attempting to tase an Outsider, shot in the face repeatedly, sustaining enough damage to kill him three times over, even with his new and improved armor. We have decided to discontinue this model of soldier as we appear to have accidentally added a genetic component that both repels its own bullets away from enemies, and attracts enemy bullets toward it. Work on prototype model "Buddha Zilla" operative set to commence in the near future. (Non-SPUF) Corporal Jacob Buskirk (Sniper), originally just a fill-in for Kayohgee has become a valuable, and powerful member of the team alongside Squaddie Kaito Ishikawa (Assault), who despite only going on one mission after being assigned a class, managed to rack up 4 kills with his Run and Gun ability, dashing behind barriers and delivering point blank Shotgun blasts that devastated his opponents. He was injured in combat but is expected to return to active duty tomorrow.

Small update. Sergeant 'Deacon' Tyrone continues to carry the team as Support, because apparently he's UNTOUCHABLE even when caught flanked. Cpl. Doctor Dakka (Heavy) was injured, but is now merely two days from recovery. Squaddie Witty Name (Support) continues to be adequate. Rookie Kayo Kayohgee was Gravely Injured on his first mission, and has entered a grueling 13 day recovery period. Prayers from his family are received daily for him to pull through. Squaddie ICB Moose (Assault) was a victim of a Sectoid's plasma weapon ripping through the steel siding of a train. He died instantly.

Yes...YES, die aliens die!

Well, I rolled out with Rookie ICB Moose, Sniper <Human Emotion>, Rookie Kayo Kayohgee, and Rookie Mah'Nigga Tyrone on a mission to rescue Anna Sing. Things went south pretty quick when Mose was flanked by a Sectoid and gunned down in his prime. Kayohgee got revenge for him, but was gunned down soon after. Tyrone panicked, leaving Emotion to fight alone, but he fought valiantly, killing the Sectoids (and earlier, headshotting a Thin Man). Tyrone and Emotion escorted Anna Sing back to the airship, Tyrone gunning down another Thin Man en route. When another Thin Man appeared in front of the airship, things started looking grim. He fired potshots at Emotion, but Emotion dodged them all, but was unable to fire due to Sniper Rifles being weird. The Thin Man got off one last attack: A poison spit on Emotion, who then panicked...but kept a cool enough head to BOOM HEADSHOT the Thin Man in his blind fear. Tragically, he expired moments later, the virulent poison doing its work as Tyrone, the sole survivor, escorted the woman to safety. There is word that X-Com is hard at work producing clones for these brave soldiers who died in battle.

Liking the Joceline. Seems to drop Cloakers in one headshot (or two body shots), and nothing else has fared much better (but I haven't tried it out on the ones in EOD gear yet). Game crashes every time I try to play Hoxton Revenge for some reason.

I wanted Shadowrun but 'Spres beat me to it. =( I may do the L4D2 one. I think the proof (if I'm too slow to snap a picture) is that I don't have the achievement for that one yet. But I'd have to install it. On 10 MB/s internet. Balls.

​It can be a very boring drive, yeah.

Got X-Com: Enemy Unknown complete pack for just $10. Neato.

​I don't want a secondary Shotgun (I really like my Kruger pistol, since it gives me a decently long range option and a lot of spare ammo), so the Joceline sounds nice. Though I'll keep the Raven and Renfield in mind for if I wanna roll with a grenade launcher at some point. Currently my build is mainly Technician and Enforcer, and my concealment is at nil because my Perk thingy is Armorer and I'm rolling with the Combined Tactical Vest at all times. Then I slap on the First Aid Kit for tough missions (or ECM for ones where i want extra money from an ATM) and shoot everything that gets in my way. Though I'll start carrying Trip Mines again when I can get up to Shaped Charge. On a different note, is there any viable way to deal with the kung fu nightstick assholes besides more dakka? They're the leading cause of me dying, since I can't shoot them while I'm downed by them apparently and the AI is retarded in this game so they run in between it and me when trying to revive me.

Interesting. What's the best shotgun? I was looking at the Joceline, it seems good. Just finished Breakout on Very Hard (...by the skin of my teeth) so I have about a million sitting around.

Hoxton Breakout is fun. He has some good lines, changed from Dallas to him. I like shotguns (as usual). Why does the perk tree thingy Guy posted suggest against increasing their accuracy?

I just wanted my $450,000. =;( Well, more like $36,000 after "taxes" but still.

Went up through (what I assume) was the majority of the Heist without even getting shot more than a few times. Literally all my damage came from falling.The first time I had to go to the roof, the ladder dropped me from halfway up, and Dragan had to get me. The second time, when I had to go up to move the crane, I knew I was screwed after I ascended the third ladder, but I soldiered on. As predicted, I fell off the second ladder, and neither Jacket or Dragan knows how to operate a zipline apparently, so I ded.

Just wasted 25 minutes on Big Bank because the ladders in this game were designed by a fucking incompetent.

Four Stores is pretty great. Just finished it on Hard with minimal effort, got twice as much money as any other job has gotten me so far, and leveled up 6 and 3/4 times.

The official Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter page is a gold mine.
