    There is one thing thad really bugs me about X-COM games (well actually
theres a few things but I'll just stick to the one). So what are your
soldiers: Humans, in Apoc you get Mutant things and robots; what do the
aliens have? They've got Anthropods, spitters, skelitoids (or something like
that), psimorphs, multiworms, mega spawns and fucking poppers. I mean what
the fuck is this, the united league of aliens who want to conquer earth.
Which brings up another problem i have with the storyline, why does every
bastard in the universe want to conquer earth, whats their fucking problem?
    Well fair do's, they couldnt bring out another X-COM game if somebody
didnt have a problem with humanity, but i still dont understand why you have
an entire united planets league trying to conquer earth in a single game.

  I know your problem, and I know how to remedy it.

Here are the instructions:

1>  Turn your computer ON

2>  Load X-COM Apocalypse

3>  Kick some alien butt

4>  Feel good about yourself.

Hope that helps!!

Well for those weed smoking, gun toting, wastes of space niggers.. Its a field 
of view for viloence.. via unprovoced attacks..

If somehow, YOU mistake a nigger from a black person, an esse', or a wigger.. 
Then thats your own fault you dumb shit...

  Well said that man/child/alien hybrid!  I think we really should try and
keep this kind of language to a minimum, if not none at all.  We are all
X-com players here.
  I`m sure we all have our differences, but also, if anything does come into
the newsgroup that may offend you, could you quietly and politely tell
anyone that may be involved.  This way the great and wonderful newsgroup
that is "alt.games.x-com" can stay pleasant to read.

  Thankyou for your co-operation.  Exits are here, here, here and here.
Have a nice fight, erm, flight now.

Ahh....glad to see that you all took so heartily to my side as soon as he
arbitrarily insulted my racial background with the most dorogotory name ever
bestowed upon my ethnicity.

Oh so happy to be a part of this "community"

he isn't chink... he's possibly japanese or part-japanese... I don't think
he meant the use of the word nigger in a nasty way though... probably just
didn't think before he typed it.

RTFM, or perhaps that should be "RTF-Ufopedia"!

I guess the background to the original conspiracy is revealed in
XCOM: UFO.

-- SPOILER SPACE --




















Most of the alien species encountered are genetically engineered, or
mind-controled, or both. In other words, they are pawns of some
higher race that is using them to investigate earth. If X-Com fail,
humans will be nothing more than another slave race, only existing
as some sort of modified experimental mutant working for the alien
leaders.

There isn't a "united planets league" attacking earth. All those
different alien races are simply the end product of planets that
failed to resist.
