Awhile back, me and 2 friends sat in my apartment, when one asked me if I had played X-Com. Having experienced this agony for many years, we started to laugh our asses off telling stories for the next 30 minutes while the 2nd friend watched.
Finally, the 3rn friend said, "this game can't be as bad as you guys say."
So we took him in and I started a new game while my experienced friend watched in eager anticipation. I make a base, show him the basics of the game, and we shoot down our first ship and prepare for battle.
By this point we had been talking up X-Com for an hour. I expected my rookies to slaughter every alien in my path in expectation that we would look like retards to the 2nd friend. The Skyranger lands, the bay doors open, I select my first rookie at the front of the craft, hand shaking in anticipation, and I tell him to move to the bottom of the ramp.
His first step off the shuttle and onto the ramp, an alien reaction shots and kills him.
We both turn to the other friend and say "And that... is X-Com." |
