The only thing I hated is that the DvD I got had a version that was only mostly remastered. The nice crisp animation suddenly drops to the old fuzzy Betamax-grade quality when Wheelie points to the spaceship for the others to use.

And that was one thing I really liked about the 2nd Bayformer movie; Wheelie's remake. I. . . .kinda like him as an RC Truck Decepticon that jumps ship the moment he realizes you can choose who you are.

"Who's a good little Autobot?"

Me: O_O; What the heck?! Why are you. . .doing that. . . do his leg? OMG! That's so much more awesome than the little rhyming version.

It's guilty pleasure of mine for enjoying both live action movies.

Brilliant!

*does the worm victory hop*

That makes me wanna play Worms on my XBox 360 again

That makes me think about the opening theme for the Watchmen

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

*bows and chants like an Ewok*

That worked! Thank you.

Had to switch the time/date synchro over to nist.gov to make it work.

I don't think it was fixed. It may have though.

I do think there were some fan-made patches for it. I'd have to search for it again though, because I can't be sure anymore. If there was one and it's still floating around the net that'd fix it just fine; the Steam system doesn't check the game to see if it's different, it just runs the built-in DOSBox.

Either way, it's still worth it, it's hard to get the old game installed right from the old CD, and that's assuming you still have it. At $5 per game, that's a quick $10 for the two best games of the series, or if you're a die hard fan like me, get the entire series, from X-Com: UFO Defense to the fair SpaceSim Interceptor to the questionable-but-still-fair-grade-mindless-fun of Enforcer for $15 total. Considering the entire series would be $25 separately, it's a good deal.

That's why I got myself a save game editor or three; my Rookie/Seamen were suddenly more capable and able to run around with a gun in their hands a bit more than a few feet.

It made sense to me, afterall, these were supposed to be the best soldiers the world could provide, but they had the physical stamina of an overweight gamer and the aiming skills of a blind man!

Oh that's not as bad as the typical mission in my old X-Com Terror from the Deep.

Player Turn one: Open sub door. Get Alien Sonic Grenade thrown at me thanks to Opportunity Fire.

Enemy Turn One: Grenade goes off, killing my entire crew.

The End.

Either way, he's right. X-Com's entire series is available on Steam. The odd thing is that the game hasn't been recoded, modified or anything to make it work on Windows XP/Vista; it comes with a custom-setting DOSBox.

All the old save game editors still work with it too. Granted, I don't cheat too much, just some extra money to get me started and making my Rookie soldiers a little more skilled. Not superhuman, just enough they survive more than one mission

I hated playing that game with the last Sectoid.

It was worse when the Xenomorph Expy was the last thing hiding in that warehouse.

SKREEE!!

ZOMG!!!

....The commander is zombied! RUN!!!

And that's when I lose half my squad.

><

That's a great use of KB.

It's other KB powers have only a 'chance' of KB, and usually those hit when you don't want them to. My AR/Nrg blaster particularly hates it in his grenade, buckshot and slug. If I could turn the Knockback of those into Knockdown instead, his AoEing could be so much easier. The KB of grenade specifically, since it has a much longer range I tend to use it as an opening attack when I let loose all my cones and grenades, and when I think to myself "Ok, I'll hit them with my 'nade, watch them fly from the KB, and pull them around the corner to burninate them." What happens? They don't. But when I use my 'nade with the intent to close in to flamethrower them and then hit them up with my other attacks, they fly around and I don't get to flamethrower as many.

Other times, the constant KBing really messes things up. If I open up with my Flamethrower then give them a face full of frag grenade and then buckshot, I usually knock some of them away with the 'nade, meaning I hit even less with Buckshot, either being outside the cone's sides or outside the range.

Now for powers who's purpose is KB, I love. Gale is perfect on my Storm users, getting at times no less than 5 slots so I can really slot it with the KB IO set. Force Field's Force Bolt is a standard part of my attack chain on my bubble users.

I even put Chance to Knockback in some stun powers like Beanbag and Nrg Manip's Stun; simply because how the powers feel/look, knocking the enemy back as well seems to fit its powerful look.

I just wish I could tone down the knocking back of other powers. If not turning the KB down, maybe lowering the 'chance' of the KB?

I don't remember them ever scaling on Live or in Beta. I do remember that Statesman once said that they were supposed to scale, but due to a bug in the code they never did and it turned out more fun that way anywho so they left it in.

How'd you get the alternate font type? That looks sweet!

Also, I just now logged in, and my free slots are locked out, so the bug must be sporadic.

I always did like the reasoning used in Lois & Clark.

Clark: Why the colors? They're pretty bright.
Mr. Kent: You don't wanna look like that psycho from Gotham, do you?

I don't think any of us could help; that'd have be to handled by the Support crew. File another petition and get your ticket renewed; they auto-turn off after a few days if you don't update your petition when support answers you.

That's one QoL feature I really want added in, badges sorted by zone (and hopefully a small gap between zone sets)

Hey, Progress Quest IS fantastic! It's the only game I can play on the computer when I'm not at the computer.

And from all that, even the angels were too much in awe to sing.
