The XCOM Files #97 - Horrors Of Antarctica

The XCOM Files! We are looking for survivors on the South Pole! I hope you packed a winter coat!

Seeing the Staff of Doubt in TTT would make my day

[@ZedZeddlingtonchannel]

That'd be awesome, listening to everyone rage and just reply "that's just how it is noodle brains!"

[@SolazLive]

Only if everyone gets a random roll on psi strength

[@chandrakas]

Lewis: “Think of something you’d like, Ben.” Me: “Say rifles, Ben. Say rifles.”

[@crossfox1991]

The joke that ghost flame posted was "What's black and screams? Stevie Wonder answering the iron" I believe

[@IceExtremeGamers]

Ben. The major problem I see with your storage is the steaming pile of corpses you have in… EVERY. SINGLE. BASE. You literally have many corpses due processing (energetic blood plasma extraction) or disposal. Note that most of the alien corpses turn completely useless after you research it, so auto dumping them is advised. Also: energetic blood plasma is a thousand times smaller than the corpses that they are extracted from, so processing them is extremely advised, specially due to the fact that the blood plasma is very useful.

[@Baleur]

How do you know Ben is married? xD Everytime Lewis says something he says: _"Ok you're right, yep im wrong, im dumb, yep its my fault honey"_ How do you know Ben has kids? xD His kindergarten vocabulary: _"Bibbers, booboo-kissers, scary men"_

[@BrentStarling]

I’m pretty sure Ben isn’t married! Just living with his partner.

[@slimek20]

This episode an Xcom team rescues a lone survivor from an Antarctic base, Commander Ben goes on a vision quest (he meets his totem spirit but it's a cake so he has to kill it), an entire fleet of Cthonite battleships descends on Force 2 Reckon base but once one begins assault others disengage.

[@powercore2000]

47:00 That joke got an unexpected giggle out of me, the chad Charadon vs the virgin bedgar

[@zedetective]

I rarely catch these streams live so love the vods. Perfect when im watching yog vids all day.

[@dinisnascimento4929]

Ye the sopranos is 15 years old and I am 18 and havent finished yet BEN!!!

[@Baleur]

49:45 this is so fucking *COOL!* You're fuckin astral projecting into a dream universe to buff your own soul. How fucking awesome is that.

[@RoosterFloyd]

Nobody will see this, the campaign is long over, it doesn't matter and I'm not even mad, in fact I see the funny side and love everything about these xcom playthroughs... However, how do you, after defending a base that's under equipped by the skin of your teeth, then months later fail to defend a base that's barely equipped, then proceed to not equip your base with at least enough rifles. You're sitting on 180 million dollars! For the love of all things holy! Like, it would take a minute to just give everyone a single heavy plasma. If you're feeling generous and want to treat your fodder, 2 minutes to give them armor. It's insane, this is genuine insanity.

[@Lokosik]

part of the dreamscape landscape assets comes from the alien dimension in X-Com: Apocalypse.

Turns out - kittens are better than models. fact.

[@flufflebut8781]

Hot daym, that intro gets me every time.

[@judemccabe1242]

I really like it when a series sets a cut off point early on, when its very easy to tell that the story will go no further than this. Avatar the last airbender is a good example, it set the nding from the beginning, because it anmed its series after the elements, so there could only ever be 4 books. Setting a clear goal to a series helps to keep things on track, while, assuming pacing isnt terrible, letting the veiwer feel as if you are moving toward a conclusion and so thigns aren't just dragging on. I find it really hard to get into shows without some clear reason fro existing, unless they are inherently episodic, or just particularly good in general. Mainly because Its so likely they are just gonna meander around, not knowing where to end or how to get there untill they are on track to hit the end. Either having a great first season, then doing not that great, badly paced overall plot until they are cancelled, or Doing really well, while completely ignoring the end, then suddenly dropping off a cliff in quality because the need to end the show and never planned out how they would, which just feels even crappier cos you spent a lot of time only to have a shite ending.

[@AsiniusNaso]

Ha ha! I'm finally in! I look forward to my horrific demise!

[@flufflebut8781]

Captain Sonar is legit total chaos, but entertaining. Hatfilms did a game of it I recall with some guests.

[@BrentStarling]

Been playing Pokemon since I was a kid, and man I still can’t ever quite remember all the type matchups. I know the basic ones, but I will die without the knowledge of what beats dark.

[@Asphyr]

Thinking makes ben sleepy

[@thomasvanderbush332]

On with the show already

[@dudekazoo]

I'm already a muggle, and a very trash tier one at that. So I'd definitely rather be the best muggle than the worst wizard.

[@dgenaraition]

I will say this modpack wouldve been better if there were like personal mindshields so low psi characters can go fight psi enemies, even if it actively took up a hand or was attached like the ballistic shield

[@IceExtremeGamers]

Me, desperate for Ben’s attention: Ben! Read the messages I sent you abou XCOM! Also me: \*swears at screen\*

[@andrewrobinson4019]

Haha! M4ximum 3xtruder will chump his way to victory! First time having a chump, it’s exciting. Edit: Ooh, and I got a wizard, too!

[@malachischrodinger4675]

Greetings commanders, My report this week is rather dull, all is well on the homefront, despite perhaps an bit of worry about equipment as is an constant... Instead I wanted to contact you with an idea I had jokingly suggested in another video; an Yogscast-based TCG; using the various memes and 'Canonical' history/lore of the various Yogs related channels. If you could forgive me repeating this here, the talk of making an 'Correct' pokemon had me thinking about it again. Maybe some day I'll do an mockup of some cards and send them your way. Even if I was the only one interested, I would love to see such an thing come from an offhand comment. Lead Parapsychologist, Malachi Niehs Schrodinger

[@Sawtooth44]

i do the same thing as lewis at the hair dresser im a person thats almost is never seen without a hat so i leave my hair to the experts to do as they wish BUT FACIAL HAIR now that, that is when i tell them what i want, for i love my beard but not my moustache

[@WHYSMYUSERNAMETHAT]

hybrids get jumpsuits as standard lewlew has and never will equip the outer bases properly are you mad thats too many clicks!!

[@jojocraftybot]

pokemon are fine your ones who are not fine

[@BlueWizi]

Roguetech adds too much and overly complicated the game. Also, it gives completely 0 craps about lore and the timeline. Tons of weapons and equipment that shouldn’t exist for several decades or more. As a big fan of tabletop and the books and lore, it’s atrocious.

[@robonerd125]

I'm fairly certain "dragon is strong against dragon" was changed when they added fairy types...

[@dudekazoo]

It's still strong against dragon. Their problem is not realizing each type has multiple strengths and weaknesses. So it's a big ass chart not a little rock paper scissors circle.

[@erepagrotto]

Was not worth the time to consume this video. No actual reporting or witnesses to what has been occurring under the ice cap. A report with the volume of unrelated jabber back and forth that lends no substance or credibility to the topic: The Horror Antarctica! Other Presenters have had more straightforward documentation on this and related X file events. I suppose if viewers wanted a video type game(program) this site has done the same.

[@mastersergeantjojam8069]

I cannot stand this! Bye...

[@pagatryx5451]

Listening to them talk about movies and TV is sort of painful. Sequels can and have worked, the issue is they are rarely done in the way they should. Sequels work when you have a set source material like a book and you divide it into set movies, for example The Lord of The Rings, HaRRy pOtTer to some extent AND Game of Thrones before they decided to shift from the source material and let D&D write. The reasons why sequels are usually shit is because x movie gets unexpectedly popular, hollywood is a creativity vacuum and tries to tack on another movie with nothing to base it off, you get a rushed and terrible movie. And the reason why we don't get good sequels that often is because we don't get large source material made into film that often, when we do it is usually butchered to fit in one movie or it has a terrible production like for example Eragon. What we really need is the industry to be less greedy and start to fund more interesting projects. There is so much books that could be made into film, instead we get sequels for Starwars nobody wants or asked for. They wont though, they are too busy turning Thor into a girl so they get free advertising. The ending also depends on what type of story you are going for. A show with a lot of mystery could end on a non conclusive ending for example Stranger Things. It could have (and should have) ended at season 1 despite their still being questions left unanswered. When everything is known, it kind of ruins it. That is why season 2 and 3 were...bleh. A show/movie with little to no mystery shouldnt really end non conclusively. Like if Starwars ended (the real Starwars) mid way through the final battle. A shows ending depends on its genre. So the Thing had a good ending.
