I&#8217;m really enjoying this game. The world is really interesting. The art is incredible. The gameplay has that irresistible &#8220;just one more mission&#8221; appeal of the original X-Com. At the same time, I&#8217;m in over my head. If you have any Battletech tips, please share them. <\/p>\n<p>I know I spent a lot of time complaining about my introduction to this game, but that&#8217;s because I had such a strange and off-putting first encounter with it. For the record, I&#8217;ve put a lot more hours into the game and I haven&#8217;t run into any further bugs. I don&#8217;t know how that first mission went so wrong, but that&#8217;s the story I had to tell.<\/p>\n<p><div class='imagefull'><img src='https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/images\/battletech1.jpg' width=100% alt='The art in this game is amazing.' title='The art in this game is amazing.'\/><\/div><div class='mouseover-alt'>The art in this game is amazing.<\/div><\/p>\n<p><strong>19:23 Rimworld<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><table class='nomargin' cellspacing='0' width='100%' cellpadding='0' align='center' border='0'><tr><td><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3tDrxOASUog\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen class=\"embed\"><\/iframe><br\/><small><a href='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3tDrxOASUog'>Link (YouTube)<\/a><\/small><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/p>\n<p><strong>28:55 Hitman 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When we were talking about my inability to not throw people out of windows, we were referencing this old episode of Spoiler Warning:<\/p>\n<p><table class='nomargin' cellspacing='0' width='100%' cellpadding='0' align='center' border='0'><tr><td><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kNOeAiCvJds\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen class=\"embed\"><\/iframe><br\/><small><a href='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kNOeAiCvJds'>Link (YouTube)<\/a><\/small><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/p>\n<p><strong>35:47 Starcraft 2<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here it is.
