So XCOM2 is out, and it's awesome! Not without its flaws (certainly needs a performance patch or two, and especially the camera needs work, plus I've had one semi-minor bug so far), but the feeling they've managed to create is amazing. So many little details, like your best soldiers showing up in Wanted lists scattered around cities...

Oh yay, been looking forward to it but have a bunch of games I need to finish before I play it.

Oh, and there's ample opportunity for all kinds of crazy characters to join your squads, sometimes quite by accident.
I had one random recruit, put him in my squad for the first time, and burst out laughing because he looked so outrageously weird... add to that the fact that he, again completely randomly, became a Specialist class (oh yes he's special! those are your mixture of tech genius and medic) with the nickname 'Glitch', plus twitchy behaviour, and a few minutes in the character editor later he also has bright yellow smileys on his armour and gun, and a legend was born.
Another one appeared, Beanie on his head, thick-rimmed glasses, pale serious face - and I immediately knew I'd nickname him "The Professor" (maths/phyiscs/chemistry professor apparently, since he's become my premier Grenadier, chucking grenades and toppling buildings like there's no tomorrow)...
And then there's one of my Sharpshooters, started off as a perfectly normal soldier from Germany with long black hair and a bit of a gaunt face. Took a serious wound one mission, which changed her attitude radically to be very brooding and grimfaced - a few minutes in the character editor later she was 'Geist' (German for ghost, with matching sniper rifle named 'Gespenst' = spectre; it was late in the night and I didnt have any better ideas okay?), all in black and dark grey, long hood over her face, which is additionally painted with a skull motif - holy hell even I am scared of her...

I'll see if I can add a few screenshots later when I get back to playing again

I watched TB's WTF video, love the customisation options. Was hilarious having dodger carrying a gun named strippin, and vice versa. * then when strippen had to kill alien zombie dodger using dodger I lol'd*

Got Mordheim in the sale last night. Played a good 3 hours when I should have been in bed after 1.5. The game doesn't like parody MLP chaos warbands though. Magister "Dusk Shine" banished from mage collage after a rule 63 accident was brutally murdered by skaven on his first outing.
losing your leader in the first game really makes funding the warband difficult for the replacement.
Got one leader, one mutant, one archer, and two c/c henchmen one with a greataxe and one with a sword/dagger combi after he went out of action first battle and lost all his gear ¬_¬.
It is rather nicely done, but it seems so hard to find warpstone.

Before the concert starts, there is a short interview in Swedish, where one of the musicians (Håkan Björkman) talks about his experience of the show. He is not that much into videogames, but says that he appreciated the Mega Man music alot, and that it required alot of stamina to play that suite.

The singers name is Sabina Zweiacker. The announcers name is Orvar Säfström. The conductors name is Charles Hazlewood.

And yes - We know they spelt Nobuo wrong..
