God, that sounded snotty. I apologize.


Don't apologize to Mass Effect on my account. If I stopped myself from saying something about Mass Effect because I thought it might sound snotty, I'd never talk about Mass Effect at all! PS: that is supposed to be a condemnation of Mass Effect and not my communication skills.

There's been five or six attempts at remaking X-COM and all of them, except for Silent Storm, have been terrible. Most of them fuck up the very first decision the developers have to make by picking a game engine, like Quake, that doesn't support destructable terrain. I'd prefer it if some of these awkward Slovakians wrote their terrible port using code from Tetris, because at least we know the world-building blocks could explode.


Looking at the huge stack of opened and unopened 360 games in my closet, the only one with anything approaching destructible terrain is Earth Defense Force 2017, which also happens to be basically a 3rd-person shooter version of X-Com and a (legitimately, you can tell by all the mediocre reviews from the enthusiast press) great game besides. Entire city blocks collapse at the slightest provocation and playing it makes you feel whatever the opposite of Mass Effect is - engaged maybe? - and I'm not sure there isn't a connection in there somewhere.

It's not like you're the kind of person to go register someone's title or handle on them, but you could probably make a few hundred bucks if you grabbed alienufoafterlightthegame.com this week, my friend.


I'm going to make a few hundred bucks this week whether I do anything or not, that's the beauty of welfare. In fact any money I do earn has to be declared so they can take it out of my cheque, which I think is supposed to encourage me to act selflessly at all times - step one in becoming a perfect retard messiah like Forrest Gump. Step two is talking to people on park benches and coffee shops and brightening their day with simple homespun wisdom, step three is ping pong, and step four is fathering a child with a flighty girl who has AIDS. I'm looking forward to the ping pong.
