  • Original x-com was great you had lots of research to do, bases to set up with defenses, manufacturing, storage, radars etc. Could make money from both loot and manufacturing your own products.

    Then there was intercepting UFOs with your fighters followed by the actual missions were you could use all your researched gear, get loot, capture Aliens to interrogate for more research and level up your soldiers.

    I still play the openxcom version now and again with various mods but yeah as a kid I used to play the original on the original PlayStation with its mouse and it’s without a doubt the game I’ve probably spent more time on than any other.

    Wasn’t a huge fan of the remade ones to me the original is the best one.






  • I read in bursts really I can go weeks/months without then go through 6 or 7 books in a week. I’ve always been a very fast reader and if something interests me enough to give it a look I tend to read the entire series at once.

    I think the biggest factor for me is if it grabs my interest or not quickly if something doesn’t I don’t try and force it just wait for the next thing that might.
