Alien activity leads to freezing I am starting to get buyer's remorse with XCom:Enemy Unknown (2012) I was on an alien base assault. Except for a soldier turning into a zombie, :( things were going well. :) Searching, the last section(?), for the base commander. Then, during the alien's...

I have been playing XCOM Enemy Unknown. Since it was 75 percent off on Steam, and on my wish list; I bought the complete collection. I like it, but I prefur the original version. My favorite class is the Sniper. The worst aspect of the game is trying to aim grenades and rockets with the...

Climbing the walls of the Watchtower It must be one of those days; I seem to be having trouble navigating through the DC Universe today. Conan Odinson, my Ice Powered Villain, had trouble finding a certain spot marked with a X on the minimap around the Science Police HQ. Probably something...

Fox on the Run Paid for Legendary Status for three months. Which lifts limits on a lot of stuff; Including the amount of cash and equipment my characters can carry. Coming up with names for characters is hard; I think all the good, obvious ones are taken. :( Felicia Fox is a Heroic...

April whines about having no fun on the waterfront My little "Amazon" is not doing so good in Gotham. :rolleyes: Taking Bane's Venom supply off the streets was the easy part. It was going up against the big man himself, along with help from Nightwing is proving to be a bigger challenge...

Red, Red Wine. I think that was where I got the name from. Trying to come with a somewhat unique name, without being repetitive, or sounding stupid, is kinda hard. Pick a female name: April? Was thinking of the one from TMNT's. Can't remember her last name. Been ages since I seen the...
