    Author update!

    I'm editing stuff! But also incredibly dried out of writing power atm. I'll get going again soon, but just bear with me for a bit. I'm publishing a chapter of XCOM today, then start on the daily writing (not publishing) again tomorrow morning. In the meantime, always remember:

    Remembering Koji Wada

    Like every year, I like to remember the man/legend responsible for the theme songs of one of my favorite shows of all time on the anniversary of his death.

    So if you were wondering about the timing for the latest Isekai chapters? There you go.

    Welp, here's a life update

    These last couple of weeks have been a bit of a rollercoaster. Good things have happened, and also bad ones. No wonder I could relate to both Furina and Navia in the latest Isekai chapter. Sometimes pretending things are fine is really exhausting, even if they do get better.

    Update to the Isekai coming tonight! And some additional details and change of plans.

    First, to everyone waiting patiently for the next Isekai chapter, I apologize for the delay. I know there are a lot of people that want to see another visit to Hell happen soon, and it will, I promise. However, due to some circumstances, I decided for a different pair of visitors to visit the bar this week.

Look at what I found · 2:59am Oct 4th, 2018

While I rummaged through some of my old stuff...

I didn't have time to go through everything, but in there is an original XCOM manual as well :P I wonder what inspiration I can get out of this?

Also!

Get hype!

ok... I AM HIPED AS FUCKING HELL!!

I still play the original XCOM: UFO Defense

Looking forward to the legacy pack and remember the nightmares that were tftd crysalids.

Now if only I had a PC and not a Xbox one s.

You don't get inspiration from Terror from the Deep. You get fustration followed by soul crushing despair...

Terror from the Deep was the evil stepchild of the XCOMs. I rather play the original and Apoc (as well as the modern ones).

I still hate the Lobstermen. HATE!

I'd be more worried about repeated squad wipes coming to the story, that game was vicious...
Although maybe not as vicious as Apoc early game if you play turn based mode... I think Poppers become the hardest enemy of the entire series.

The problem with Terror from the Deep is that not only is it a punishingly difficult game...but even if you win, you lose.

In the ending you destroy the ancient colony ship at the bottom of the ocean the aliens were coming from...but said explosion not only kills any surviving squad members, but also rips the planet a new one, rendering it mostly uninhabitable, which is why humanity is down to one mega-city in Apocalypse. So, congrats you win...at the cost of most of everything you were fighting for.

I do wonder if Hasbro hadn't fumbled the ball and the series continued on it's original path just how dark would it have gotten for humanity. Lets face it, in Apoc we took on a backwater colony world on a recon mission, that group existed across multiple universes.

4948142 Yes, I don't know where I put that one, it's probably buried under all the other books.

I'm just lucky I have a policy of keeping every videogame manual from the late 80's/early 90's in a stash on top of my bookshelf.

Still wanting to find out what happened to Vahlen
