Well, Mr. Solarius Scorch ... i did start playing your Mod some days ago. Everything went like expected. I handled every step and mission with my long year X-Com experience. Then, on this one day, i've been driving with a private car to this one mission.
And it changed my view of X-Com completely ... this game can be in fact ... HILARIOUS
. What mission i'm talking about? Well, it's the 'Haunted Mansion' and especially its background song! I should have really recorded myself, especially in the first seconds. Let me recap:
Mission starts, FRO_SPY.ogg plays.
Me:
What the heck?! Did some tab open in the background? Stupid adds! But wait, Firefox isn't even open! And hello, adblock? No ... maybe my daughter is listening ... no she's not even in da house! It is ... the game?!Finished the equipment, seeing the Battlescape:
Uuuuhm ... it's the game, actually (In this moment i wish i could have made a picture of myself. I think it's my personal new record of pulling up one of my eyebrows)
Then i'm hearing "You're crazy in the coconut!".
Well, am i? Or the developer? Is this just a 'mistake', a 'missplaced' private song? I am fighting ghosts! That's not funny! How can one destroy the seriousness and excitement of such a mission?Me, running around with two agents equipped with just electric clubs. Still feeling overrun by ... i don't even know where to start. After just some couple of minutes:
Waaaaaait ... those ghosts can't hurt or seriously injure me? Great! Let's "bzzzzzrp" them down!. Well, me - precisely 2 (two!) agents - vs. one dozen ghosts. You guessed it:
What! Conscious again?! I'll get you!. After shouting this out after some turns and hearing "criminally insane" in this song, i realized that i never had such a hilarious or any near kind of mission in X-Com and my laugh flash began
.
In the end, just want to say, that the idea of the 'Haunted Mansion' and its 'art/style' was just genius and an absolute refreshing variety
