Knudsen Streaming - XCOM: Enemy Unknown

The Nags Head
1

So I went ahead and did my first session of XCOM tonight.

Streaming Channel.

The plan is straight forward.

[list]
[*]Classic difficulty.

[*]No reloads, one save file, in basic Ironman mode with the exception that I’m the one holding back on not reloading, the reason being I don’t fully trust these “Auto-save” features the actual Ironman mode holds.

[/list]

I’ll keep playing as long as there is interest for it, I may restart when/if a ‘Campaign’ goes full retard, it will be marked as such as seen below. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width=“20” height=“20”>

How do you know if I’ll be playing?

I’ll be on teamspeak in a channel named accordingly!

I’ll tweet it, https://twitter.com/MrKnudsen

And I’ll post here.

Part 1.

Part 2.

Part 3.

NOTE, these got kinda screwed up due to ISP issues.

Part 4.

Part 5.

Part 6. - Short, Stream crash, simply putting things to an end for the night.

NOTE, these got kinda screwed up due to ISP issues.

Part 7.

NOTE, between twitch and my ISP I got annoyed by cutting the stream off all the time so this time I just kept going through.

Part 8.

Part 9.

Part 10.

Part 11.

Part 12.

Part 13.

I want to avoid spoiling the people that’s following by watching the videos on twitch.

As such the below personnel lists will be updated before each stream starts.

[size=2][color=dimgray]Attempt 1.[/color]
[/size]

Attempt 1, didn’t go to well but I had a strong feeling it wouldn’t!

The only reason I stuck with it was due to me wanting to touch as much of the game as possible before failing.

I called it quits ‘early’ and only due to me wanting to restart and regain the hope of saving the world instead of fully fail it!

Lastly I don’t recommend that you watch this if you’re expecting a serious take of the game, for that I suggest watching Attempt 2.

This one is pretty much everyone getting kill in a large number of ways…

So far … Knudsens getting everyone killed!

5

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width=“20” height=“20” />

6

Did I die?

7

How the hell is Taylor still alive, I expected him to die five seconds into the first mission /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width=“20” height=“20” />.

8

Scarle you died rather dramatically on the last mission Knudsen ran away on. Harlow didn’t last long either.

9

Awesome look forward to it

10

I find it cheapish by bumping this thread like this but I feel a need to share.

We have made it pretty far and have now moved into the OH SHIT area.

as some of you saw, Scarle and Wilson is dead.

As such the next stream will contain some awesomeness in terms of what we will be facing, its going to be hard and more people will likely die.

I therefore have to ask, as more than I could ever hope for have shown interest in this, do you want to see it tomorrow/today (11/10) or wait to friday for the next stream?

I’m doing this because I enjoy it, but I really want to give the guys who want to watch this a chance to watch it!

As a side note, if I do stream tomorrow it will probably start at 20:00 my time, that’s 19:00 British to allow the awesomeness to carry onto the evening and not as much the night as the last few have done.

As a side note here is how Scarle got fucked.

And Wilson..

Today sounds good as im drinking friday

12

I can’t believe you left me out of the attempt 1 memorial after you let me die in such a silly way. You’ve made me sad /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width=“20” height=“20” />

13

I didn’t update it proper!

I was going to do that today for both the games. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width=“20” height=“20”> Sorry.

Good news though, I got 4 recruits coming up that all need naming in the new one!

Edit: There you go!

14

Going to give the stream a go for tonight, see how many we got watching, if the numbers are low I’ll throw in a break or two until people get the time to watch!

15

Any more planned soon?

16

Yes, would of done some tonight but there where not a whole lot online for it.

Next time is either monday or very soon there after.

17

waiting

18

No stream tonight, came home very late yesterday and got a lot of work today with little sleep last night..

Part 12, from last night is obviously up on Twitch for those who missed it.

19

Goddamnit you killed me again. I’m making a Sq Knudsen and throwing him at the nearest Muton. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width=“20” height=“20” />

Just a heads up any guys playing the game and about to start a new playthrough there are a couple of really good mods out there:

http://xcom.nexusmods.com/mods/searchresults/?cat=7

I’m playing one at the moment that enables all UFO intercepts (so you can stop terror missions and abduction missions if you have a good enough interceptor), but this is a two edged sword. The mod also engages the Second Wave game mutator option screen, so you can choose different game modifiers like Marathon mode or random rookies and so on. There’s also a mode that adds the Impossible number of aliens to Classic difficulty. Which is nice if you like that sort of thing. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width=“20” height=“20” />

Now to catch up on the latest episode of Knuddy gets everybody killed…
