Also, you'll be happy to know that Roy has taken her rightful place in the XCOM roster as a Specialist of a yet unknown class (She rolled Tactical, I need Infantry, unless she has requests, she's gonna be Infantry) and that I apparently didn't include enough names in my namelist, and somehow have two Poodles...
(And when I sent Ash, Dienne and Roy on the left flank, I commented "And the DQ girly horde is going to charge left...")

I'm glad to be with my sisters but I bet Roy won't be so happy about being considered part of the girly horde
So, I had this ambush, where Dazzle casually ran out of cover to finish off a drone, only to find out four Floaters just outside line of sight, around a corner.
And these guys were like "In all this excitement, we completely forgot if we loaded our Plasma Carbines. But being that these are Plasma weapon technology, they would blow your head clean off. All you have to do is ask one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do you, Commander?"
And I was like "NOT TODAY YOU FILTHY ALIEN SCUM!" and ordered Dazzle not to pull back into cover. But to smoke her(him? XCOM Dazz is a dude...)self, Ash and Uncle. The Flootahs were like "OH **** WHAT DO WE DO" and three of them scuttled off, while one suppressed Dazz. Being in smoke, Dazz ran back to cover next turn, and from then on, it was a lot of waiting. Eventually, the Floaters decided to be clever. Flank me.
One ended up flanking himself. One ended up failing miserably at hiding behind cars. The last Floater eventually found out that Donk herself has taken the roof he decided to hide on, and the only thing other than Laser shots the squad heard was "THIS IS MY ROOF! YOU ARE NOT WELCOME ON MY ROOF!" followed by an inhuman scream of pain.
What was left, I asked myself. Well, of course, three Thin Men I was trying to Breach before I found the Drones and got ambushed by the Floaters.
And so I set the perfect trap. The kind of trap best described as such:
They ended up flanking themselves. First Ash burnt one a new hole to breathe with, then Uncle maimed one so bad, the only thing on his mind was to "GET THE HELL OUT". The third, ask you? Bunny charged with a Laser Shotgun. (Sorry, Dienne, you were the first to hold one, but the first recorded Laser Shotgun kill goes to Bunny) All you need to know is - he wasn't long for this world.
The final nail in their coffins was the Infantryman, Nub, destroying the gray matter of the previously maimed Thin Man.
AND SO I SAID "YES. I FEEL LUCKY."
Not a single injury. Just a lot of dead Aliens.
XCOM is one of those games that fascinates me greatly but which I will likely never have the patience to play. Ranger sounds good though
XCOM is plain awesome. Ranger is the class in the sequel that's coming in February. CQC and infiltration experts, Rangers use a wide variety of equipment, including SWORDS ("I **** you not," commented Varric)

It's not the most known feature of the game. Actually, it's a mod that ranges on the easiest to perform (well, except the fact that Long War has a convenient install wizard) but not generally known. But if you stick around XCOM for a short while, you definitely should hear about custom namelists sooner or later.
As I said, it's RNG based, so it just gave me Poodle the second time. First Poods is a French lady. The second... I only saw the flag. Swiss, I think.

I just like choosing every aspect of my characters.
Dammit! now my cat actually does have a reason to kill me.
Wait, USB? You don't do the good ol' UTP/RJ45 combo?
I needed a slot for a USB 3 card and room was at a premium. Something had to go, and that something was my internal wireless card. As for why not RJ45? Well, that pesky router is about 45 feet away after U-Verse got done hoarking with my system.
Who is that girl in the GIF?
Not a clue.
I don't know. I am unable to produce tears.
I'm slightly disappointed, Royness. You missed a chance to be mean, as opposed to revealing a weakness, and just say, "You ain't worth the salt in my tears."
Spoiler
What the F... I've Even Ground and Take it Slow on, and I just got jumped by a lvl8 Mabari? WITH PERCEPTIVE? COULDN'T EVEN STEALTH MY WAY OUT?
Ahahaha! Even ground just means they will level UP to you. It doesn't preclude things of higher level kicking your sorry butt. I love fighting level 23 snoufleur.
They get the horses up there like this
Luckily, getting down is much easier.
Spoiler
Why do you have to get so nasty? Serious question.
I just want to state, for the record, I reserve the right to be a mean, nasty, arsebiscuitish, and just downright surly as I want when it comes to the Oakland Raiders.
Spoiler
You're into that "Netflix and chill" thing too? Kids these days...
Ya know, I see that phrase a lot on imgur and it confuses me. Most of the time it seems to sexual overtones, but sometimes it doesn't. Frankly, I'm afraid to use it because I don't want to leave any wrong impressions. I just watch tv.
This seems appropriate here.

Explanation of netflix and chill. People my age use it as a way of getting arond asking people out on real dates, and the evening usually ends in sex if both parties are interested, but then ends with the more interested party wondering what kind of relationship they're now in.
Gah, Dazzle is sick, had to stay home from work and now I won't get to go skating!

Yeah, I don't use his mod. That's why I am able to insure that, for instance, Razzle Dazzle (nickname Princess" is a Canadian lady in my XCOM game. Though that does come with drawbacks as I blow a ridiculous amount of cash recruiting soldiers trying to get the right gender/nationality mix for my DQ squaddies.
