As opposed to doing nothing but whine and complain all the time? (!)  Hey,
why don't you actually go and try to make a contribution to the x-com
community yourself??  Oops, you probably think it's too much like hard work!

the end.

Hey,

To what?  You've done *nothing* but bitch and moan.  No battle reports, no
tactics discussion, no artwork, no hints or tips, no programming of any
kind, no fanfiction...need I go on?  You've done nothing to show you even
*play* any of the x-com series.

Well, that just goes to show how lazy and clueless you are.  Look me up on
google with regard to X-Com.  Or is that too much like hard work for you?

You dissing the other x-com fans who've posted their game diaries and battle
reports?  I'm sure they'll *love* you for that...(!)

Okay...just a few hints to prompt you into getting off your fat, spreading
butt and looking...

1)    I had, at one time, a *very* popular x-com fiction site.  Only became
defunct because of the closure of the hosting company.  Still have all the
files for it...just haven't had the opportunity to write up a whole new site
for it all....a little thing called "responsibilities" that us grown-ups
have to deal with.  You'll understand (hopefully) when your balls finally
drop and your voice breaks.

2)    After hearing about the closing of Chapel Hill, old Microprose's home
of x-com, and the dumping of the X-Com Genesis game, myself and several
other denziens of this newsgroup set up a bulletin board as an online
protest/petition.  Again, very popular, and even earned a few paragraphs in
a few popular gaming magazines.

Now, hop to it, you lazy bag of *bleep*!!!

I've backed up my side...let's see if you've got the balls to do the same!.
