It's getting hot in here

It is absurdly hot in Portugal right now! I feel like i slept in a oven.

Last week I had been trying to play "UFO: enemy unknown" lately, but really kinda failing at it. i had never played it before, but i had played "X-COM: terror from the deep" and way back in the day i had beat that game which is supposedly harder.

in UFO, i got how to make money down by manufacturing laser weapons as soon and ass many as possible, but ended up running out of fuel for my pimp alien tech ship and just couldn'y intercept any enemy ships anymore. fuck...



UFO:EU and X-COM:TftD are practically the same game in case you haven't player them, only difference is that in X-COM you get to do underwater missions.

In X-COM i remember having missions down to a science, I remember a rocket launcher that allowed u to make the rocket change direction like 5+ times. so i'd have a guy scout as much as possible, and guys back in the craft shooting the rocket and take out aliens from across the map.

I'm surprised today to get up and see on my twitter that Spoony is (or was) playing X-com live on justin.tv, either way it was recorded and it's cool cause I can pick up hints on how to play the game again.

I just started watching it and like me, feels a lil rusty. when he opens the menu for the first base there's a pause and you can just fell him thinking "oh shit, i don't remember any of this!", and i can so relate to that.

Here's Spoony's steam if you care to check it out, but be warned, X-COM is a strategy and management game, it's very very slow paced so most people prolly won't like it.

In other news:



Valve is finally getting to it, but my excitement is all gone. I'll prolly get it back in time for the weekend though.

What i don't like though, is that they're randomly giving away Golden wrenches, and making it impossible for most people to even have a shot at getting one. What i mean is, when u craft something, you have a chance to get one of those. and seeing how miserable the drops are, most people ran out of shit to craft like 2 days ago. great...

the weird thing though, is that on TF2items, on the recipe list, the golden wrench can b used along with another golden wrench as a crafting material for scrap. Supposed to be rare? possibly common in the future? don't really care.

1st weap was announced though:
