The XCom Files Episode Zero: The Roster Thus Far · 2:51pm Feb 29th, 2016
Let's meet our brave, our bold, our reckless idiots, then, shall we?
Episode one in a new series where you!!! get to watch yourselves die horribly under my command! Hooray!
If I haven't added you and you still want to be added, send me a message, there are still holes in the roster. Turns out the mod I'm using to only use custom characters wasn't fuckin' around, because all the engineers and scientists are from the same pool, as I've found out.
I also did the first three missions. How did that go? Well... Come back for part one, why don't you? Consider this episode zero in the series.
Warning: This one is super picture heavy. You've been warned.
Cursori's biography is a reference to the fact that he was lovely enough to send me his character file that he did up himself and save me the work. Unfortunately I couldn't use it, because my computer didn't like running the mod needed to make "Denmark" register as a country.
Rushing in boldly where angels fear to tread. XCOM!

A colour palette preference
These all amuse me greatly. Which I need right now.
Your own self appears to be cosplaying Kisuke Urahara if he joined X-COM.

(I got no problem being German, they're great neighbours, I pop over the border for some cheap candy and beer occasionally. (Also have a German last name, so points for accuracy.))
I'd send you the file again with me as a Norwegian instead, but this is honestly better than anything I could ever write in the biography
I will, however, politely request to be issued an unkempt red beard and some dorky glasses. You can't expect me to fight aliens barechinned and blind.
I demand placement and/or death.
Blue and white with pink accents.
Go ahead and add me if you want. I'm really tall, heavy, and an avid gamer (video and otherwise). Blues and Greens.
I just had someone point out I look like Egon from Ghostbusters.
I am okay with this.

3783851 That is just such a hilariously perfect coincidence. xD
Now remember the Commander's Mantra while you're playing, Numbers! No matter what happens, tell 'em: "Keep firing, assholes!"
If you still have spots despite the dozen people that just commented below me, I'll volunteer. Go ahead and press random on everything (if possible - I don't own the game yet so if that's not an option... Let your creative juices flow; the more ridiculous the better. No edgy dark glasses, though, please).
I learned never to use friends names in this game… it sucks even harder when they die.

Another fun game for this is Oregon Trail. 
But it is so interesting to find out in what particularly gruesome way I snuff it.
SUFFICIENTLY ADVANCED MAGIC

Doesn’t everyone die of dysentery in that game? It's like lupus if your a patient of House, right?
Hey, count me in if you need someone for the meat grinder... or heck, as a scientist/engineer. Either/or, I'm just happy to be of help :3

No. Sometimes you die of Typhoid.
Ah, yes. Nothing like getting all your friends killed in XCOM.
The sole surviving Californian brick joke is great.
Someones going to have fun.
Goddess, Bradford really WILL take anyone

Spaceballs!
Why does Southpaw's bio look like someone put White-Out on my screen and handwrote in "A totally average guy from Baltimore"?
Reading this was hilarious. I can't wait to work my way through the actual mission reports.
