That's not the meme nade

Thanks.
What song is this?

Yeah, changed my mind, compression ratio was 91%. Uploading now as an mp4, should be around an hour.
that was something else
>>128078357
Yes there is a problem.
THAT WAS GOING TOO FAR WITH THAT SILLY PRANK
>>128078684
Love you anon-kun :3
Memester

Lol kid.

YOU'RE SERIOUSLY TRYING THIS SHIT NOW BUDDY
DAMN SON YOU GO BALLS
>>128078684
Damn fine work, son.
>>128078828
Because someone has to be the meme.
He's going back to Impossible+, ah damn
Back to squadwiping on the first mission
>>128078734
Here's your (you)
The game is shit
you are god
let me suck your massive dick
now plz gtfo
>>128078828
If we beat the aliens but sacrifice our memes, would it even be worth it?
>>128078442
You're doing the Commander's work.
What are you guys using to download the Twitch VODs?
>>128078828
Someone has to be the expendable gimmick soldier. That's Memester.
>>128078828
Because, memes are the DNA of the soul.
What is humanity but the most fully realized and ultimate meme of all?
>what just happened was like Dunkey playing Skyrim
sounds about right desu desu

Thanks man, that's fucking amazing
>>128078734
thanks mods
>>128079128
Can't thank you enough for this.
>>128078887
It's better that way. Good things are better in controlled amounts.
Firaxis is sure gonna have a field day when they see beagles highlight video
>>128079528
>Game is obviously too easy, let's give lighting reflexes to everyone
It's gonna be LW all over again

I imagine Jake just showing up at his house shouting "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO!".

That's quite impressive indeed.

>>128079727
Are shivs even viable in vanilla EWI? I've been considering doing a SHIV-only campaign, but I want to know before I fuck myself.
>>128079836
You need troops for the base defense, but otherwise perfectly viable with techs.
>>128079528
> second wave option
> all out war
> both sides can get up to 30 guys extra per mission
here's a filter:
/(EW Aliens?)+(.|\n)*(2 Aliens?)+(.|\n)*(shit)+/i
I'm a little disappointed the RNG difficulty curve seems so front loaded again.
Beagle does a really fucking good wc3 peasant voice
just got enemy within
r8 my starting squad
my support happens to be from germany
>>128078684
How'd you do it? And so quickly?
>>128079980
Wot
>>128080034
enemies are modded to have one more enemy in each pod and one more health
This stream has convinced me to start with 6 soldiers and move the limit to 8 while bumping up the pod numbers.
>>128080073
youtube-dl and fast internet
Mega is slow so the upload might take longer than I thought. It'll happen though.
>>128080057
memes/10
>>128079128
>no sound on the meme panic
>>128079915
Thanks. I'll probably do a regular normal campaign starting with basic SHIVs and progressing from therewith the dev console.
>>128080131
Once the Memester grenade webm gets posted I'm sure you'll change your mind.
>>128080131
He keeps coming back, this is really pathetic.

>>128080173
Thanks! I've been wondering how to do it since Twitch updated.
Normal XCOM 2 feels so weird now.
>>128080445
No they just need to fix the fact it prioritizes either running or rezzing a dead guy over shooting. They will literally never shoot if there is someone for them to resurrect even if someone is standing four feet away from them.
>>128080549
>flamethrower mod
Already on the exo-suits lad
>>128080568
It's the same thing sectoid commanders did.
>>128080614
oh my bad
>>Beagle coming here.
He has a lot to catch up.
>>128080656
Yeah but commanders were either mind melding or mind controlling which were both far more useful than summoning zombies. They also had a lot more health.
bagle is going to get burnt out on xcom2 at this point.
are they really letting him stream/have this 3 month build until launch? a day or two is a good idea for a little tease but i dunno, seems like a bad idea to let people see TOO much of the game.
I guess its a good thing that they're confident about the game. Can't imagine other devs doing something like this
>>128080925
>Burnt out on XCOM2
>Over 1000 hours on XCOM1
>>128080925
It's only the first three months of the campaign.
>>128080848
Beagle has been coming to this general for more than a year
I got into an open arguement with him lol
That Jamball soldier isn't very accurate. It's far too attractive.
So how would you name a Cobra unit for the squad considering you don't know most of their names? Same for the Desperados. The Boss is the easy one because she has two monkiers but I can't think of how to do The End or The Sorrow and any Desperado except for Sam.
>>128080873
If they don't get upgrades over time they definitely need a buff.
Resurrect should be an AOE and the sectoid should get either more health or an extra action if they don't move before using it.
God I hate Twitch chat. Why does beagle keep encouraging people to spam?
>>128080995
what about anon
>>128081006
she also doesn't have a banshee wail
>>128080976
It was like 1800, so closer to 2000
>>128081208
Twitch chat is the kind of thing that will always be this way with a sizeable base of people watching with chatting priviledges. You either hate it or love it, but if you hate it you should probably learn to live with it, otherwise it's going to bother you more than it really has any right to
>>128080925
I'm assuming that the first half of your post can be explained by the second half. The amount of freedom they're allowing with the first three months pretty strongly suggests that the game really opens the fuck up after that point, and since their promises about modding potential (the main 50 gigs of which Beagle didn't even have access to) are seemingly for once not bullshit just for /hype/ buzzwords, I think we can be cautiously optimistic
>>"It's an EXALT!"
Beagle PLS
>>128081370
Tbh it seems like they genuinely wanted to make a good game with this one. I wonder if its a bid to try and revitalize an iconic and well loved game franchise to cash in on the big bucks and Make Gaming Great Again
>>128081364
>>128081208
I used to despise Twitch Chat but one year of watching Forsen later and I literally have at least an hour of gachi music on my phone and regularly spam emotes with certain friends in messenger conversations
No ragrets, embrace cancer
POO 2 LOO
>>128079528
It's actually probably why they gave him the game
It's the best advertising they could get
"LOOK HOW MODDABLE XCOM 2 IS EVERYONE, IT'LL BE JUST LIKE SKYRIM, GO BUY IT NOW"
If we don't end up with half a dozen shitty games journo articles about this within a week I'll be shocked
>india
>stink town
firaxis browses /int/
>>128081507
>>128081370
Go watch some of Solomon's older interviews. He literally has an unhealthy love for this franchise and desperately wants to do it proud. Even the the first game was a great success he got super shaken up when one of the original people that worked on old UFO defense said something to the effect of it just being 'alright'.
I can't stress enough, he wants to make this perfect and Firaxis seems like they're giving him full reign on this with it being PC exclusive and all.
>STINK TOWN
>THE LITTERAL CAPITAL OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDIA
>>128081631
It's literally free advertising for them. Glad they chose Beags for all their stream stuff.
>>128081657
not even ayys can make indias poo in loo
>>128081782
>advent in charged of renaming cities
Why are we rebelling again? X-Com are the bad guys.
>>128081631
It really is the best advertising
If I wasn't such a good goy already, I'd sure as fuck get the deluxe edition after seeing this stream
Probably helps that the game is fun to begin with
>>128081880
What's funny is the premier "modding experience" franchise people think of on PC is Bethesda's TES/Fallout with Guns games and they never manage to launch with the toolkit anywhere near ready for release
Meanwhile Firaxis casually let you change entire swathes of the game with an easy ini edit
It's almost as if most developers aren't even trying.
>>128079528
Alright, who exactly is beagle and what exactly is happening in this stream?
>>128081756
>tfw the last 5 years or so have basically given me a physical aversion to feeling hype and an expectation of disappointment
>tfw still can't help being excited for this shit
Any advice for Long War? I've played classic EW until around when Muttons arrived and got bored with it being fairly easy.
Also. how fucked in difficulty would it be to give myself 12 soldiers available in every mission?

Beagle is an old time youtuber that's been mostly playing tactical shooters. I believe he first became popular with the Arma 2 shacktac community videos, and has since built a large following by playing and streaming XCom. He occasionally also plays shit like R6/FO4/other assorted shit, but XCom is his favorite game.
He's also a funny standup dude and deserves every bit of popularity he has and then some
>>128082141
Beagle=irl personification of Strayan shitposter

Also, welcome to /xcg/ reddit, don't be a faggot.
>>128082316
Other than the novelty factor, it was truthfully very boring. I tuned out after a few minutes. Unless you like watching 48 soldiers gang up on a few aliens with 0 tension involved, you aren't missing much by just seeing the webm.
>>128082286
>>128082354
yeah cuz all u fanboys constantly deepthroat him
>>128082395
I just liked the atmosphere of fire, 70's rock, and Beags roleplaying a bit.
>inb4 beagle lets advent blow up the objective
>That reveal
It begins
>>128082395
>>128082491
I suppose that doesn't translate well to webms.
>>128082395
t. someone who didn't pour hundreds upon hundreds of hours into the first modern xcom
The novelty factor was enough to entirely carry that portion of the stream and made this stream the best he's done in long while. plus memes
>>128082443
wew lad, if he wasn't funny and enjoyable to watch he never would've gotten here in the first place
Don't know what you mean by that post desu desu, are you assblasted about anything in particular?
Will these streams have archives I can watch? It's late as balls where I am
>>128082634
yeah I'm assblasted that all you faggots are so hyped for a disappointment
>>128082649
Twich highlights.
>>128082740
Try harder
>>128082649
Yes, but the music will be cut out by twitch
That really made the experience
>>128082740
I don't have enough meme arrows for this
>>128082634
I have 100% on XCOM and played Long War through a few times. I mean... yeah, it was cool to see that the engine handled the ini tweak well, and the fact he can accomplish that with so little effort is fucking awesome, but watching it wasn't very fun past the first few seconds.
>>128082740
Hey maybe if you keep posting that pasta it'll stick without being deleted one of these times
>>128082532
Things are already bad enough as they are for us to afford even more failures.

That was quite intense to watch. These 'Vanilla' missions are their own thing alright.

you can still salvage some dignity
>>128083521
you didn't answer my question senpai
>>128083604
My internet is shit, what did he do?
>>128083650
It's an anonymous imageboard. There is no dignity to be found here.
>>128083716
He has a Big Boss soldier in the squad and he killed a trooper
Would bumping rookies and other soldiers up by 1 health balance Beagle's Legendary+

VOD of Beagle's 24-man stuff: https://mega.nz/#!5wdwzYQA!uZ2KE7gPikfCf37Bu-uZ80kmPMwG35s64dRtwO6lGHg
Starts around 2:00. Goes up to (not including) where he turned it up to 48. Hopefully someone else downloaded that or Beagle started local recording at that point.
>Beagle actually extracting
I can't believe it, what does it mean...
>>128082871
But if the music was playing during the stream why wouldnt it pick up on the archive?
>>128083883
its ok to admit your statements weren't connected by any logical train of thought, I wont tell no one
>>128083901
>>128083957
>boss nearly dying
>down a man
>everyone in full cover
why not evac?
>>128083957
extracting is actually viable in 2 because it doesn't mean enormous panic spikes in countries that will likely render the game unwinnable
There was so much poo in the street, beagle was forced to retreat. Surely the aliens are too advanced.
Forget it Beags, it's Stink Town
>>128083968
Copyright and stuff.
>>128084035
>I wont tell no one
I was right you don't understand englsih
>>128084043
It makes sense. But Beagle never evacs.
>>128084043
because you can instead fall back to the objective, and force them to take worse cover.
>>128084043
>>128084052
Beagle still never extracts.
>>128084098
as long as it makes you feel better
>>128084094
Aw pooey
>>128083901
He was in a bad position. It was the sensible thing to do.
>>128083934
Thanks dude.
>>128084193
Except he did multiple times
I'd wager he extract more than the average player
>>128083934
Hell yeah.
>>128084251
>bad postion
He had heavy cover that forces the advent hand right next to him.
>>128084365
>Catalog
>guy has mark
>and zambambos
riiiight
>>128084342
hmmm, maybe he has been extracting more in X2, but surely you can't mean from his play time in XCOM1?
HELP I CAN'T ESC TO SAVE
>>128084365
He iwas in a bad position. Sectoid in the shadow, zombie would do pressure, commander full health and marked one target, some troopers behind full cover at full health.
>>128084442
F10 quicksaves
>Full EXALT squad
Niiiice
First mod is to remove the character limit or extend it for weapon names and nicknames.
>>128084545
>commander mark
does that expire when the commander is killed?
>>128084603
It was only a matter of time after he 'discovered' that he had the EXALT mask all along.
>you can glitch it ouuut oldstyle
>>128084620
Yes it does.
>>128084435
Of course I mean his play in EU-EW
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I004_tN2NC0
https://youtu.be/NuyDcLy3-3c?t=4883
I also remember one when he meet the first medium in LW on youtube but cant be arsed to find it, surely there's more that I forgot
He always fucking extract when he see it as necessary
>>128084857
>when everyone fucking died in dire straights
>>128084857
>Always extracts when necessary
Now that's where I draw the line.
>>128084857
he doesn't even fucking extract in your first video
I missed the meme grenade, and apparently beagle forgot local recording.
Did anyone record it?
>>128085329
The pic in >>128079128
>>128084907
I cant find the one where he fight his first landed on LW innawood but if I recall right, all that happen is a bad pull, someone almost die and he just say "fuck it, time to go"
So not really different from last mission
