Due to the heroic acts of panic berserk shooting, the last floaters dies in agony and pain.

I used to be a texas ranger

Now I sit in the dinning hall
of a metalic underground hole

Off to defend humanity atop the skyranger!

Death Blossom is great
Mini-Cougar is better
But no chemical rounds

Sprinting down the ramp
That move was sub-optimal
Need a new rookie

You think you are brave
Etherals and Chryssalids
Are digging your grave

They are just units
You play a superhuman
Your heart is a stone

No mercy, no rest
For those who don`t know yet
X-com is the best

Noobs in the front, why?

Post by: The Reaver of Darkness on July 29, 2017, 06:09:18 pm
This is a floater
This is an ethereal
One of them's scary


This is a muton
This is the muton's brother
One of them's Larry


Rifles are weakness
Lasers shoot so much better
But plasma is king


This is maybe late
But some "haikus" are so wrong
It's five, seven, five

Fire overpowered
makes enemies panick fast
instant surrender

Panick with rockets
Oh god please no dont oh crap
half my squad dead now.

Chupacabras suck
They eat your face for breakfast
like wild methhead dog

unit paralyzed
from endless psi attack
so you taze his ass

in the xcom files
no-one cares if you blow up
a whole fuel depot
