The Nikos Appreciation Thread

Ice Cream Jonsey · Post by **Ice Cream Jonsey** » Sat Jun 01, 2013 11:01 pm

In this thread, we can have fun and we can do one of two things:

1) We can give Nikos (RealNC) a compliment
2) We can take an unprovoked shot at some other user.

I'll go first.

Ben, I don't appreciate the fact that you gave me shit about not wanting to play Xenonauts. Every Other Attempt Except For Silent Storm I Guess has utterly failed the X-COM model. Why are you mad at me for assuming that Xenonauts will too?

You would not shut up about Xenonauts for two years, and now that it's available, you won't even download it and tell us how it is, even though all of the early reviews appears to be "exactly like the original XCOM except with a user interface that doesn't make you want to kill yourself every three seconds."

And you won't even take a look. Not a FUCKING PEEP.

I bought it through Desura. Is it finished on Desura? I demand you get me this answer.

I enjoy Hugor.

Oh. Trying to play it through Desura gave me a key to install it on Steam. All right?? All right.

Oh wow. Do I feel important now.

I enjoy the Greek perspective that RealNC brings to the table here.

Be quiet, peasant. This is a thread where you give me compliments or bash someone (other than me.)

I want to clarify that I thought the user interface, with one exception (soldier loadout) was fine. It was just that the game was 320x200. I would say that the UI was bad to try to fit in with people who were not X-COM fanatics. But you people sicken me, frankly. The X-COM user interface (except for having to load guys out each time) was fine.

And it has made Xenonauts a rich experience that I like a lot. I am really psyched here.

This certainly does seem like X-COM. This is all we wanted.

This was neither appreciation for Nikos nor a blatant shot at another user.

VIOLATION!

Argh! I posted the wrong screenshot! GOd dammit.

The joke I was trying to make was that the black guy on the screen got shot. But I restored the wrong save game. It was supposed to be my masterpiece.

Fucking fuck. I am a goddamn idiot.

What a wonderful idea for a thread. There's just no way that I can adequately express my gratitude for and appreciation of the opportunity to point out that Jizaboz is a horrible person. You bring us all down, Jiz.
