Well, not much going on..

Though if you have not checked out the 18 new screenshots of Alliance,
at SectoidHaven, then DO SO NOW!


And now something quite different.
Here's a little funny piece of writing:


Bob's Psychic Predictions For 1999

January -- New Scandal:
A new Washington financial scandal will be in the headlines,
when it is discovered that extraterrestrial aliens
contributed campaign funds to the Democratic National Committee.
Not knowing how to return the money, the government will
transfer the funds to the NSA, thus converting the "Gray" Budget
into a Black Budget. The windfall funds will be spent on wild parties,
but of course no one will know it. The aliens have, of course,
anticipated this, as it was their plan all along to keep
the NSA incapacitated for the next 12 months.

In need of some new XCOM pals?

Well there's a freshly started Newsgroup located at -> alt.games.x-com

You can watch it in your browser at this address:

alt.games.x-com


And surprised was I to here about Julian Gollop posting to this NewsGroup!
The very man that originated with, and followed through the concept of XCOM!

To get more details on Julian Gollop and the origin of XCOM,
a good start would be to have a look at this site's History section.


Thank you Detonate, for bringing alt.games.x-com to my attention!

exactly what you would like to see in the next installment."

"We want to do justice to the X-COM brand,
and to do so we need input from the fans!"



If any, this is the golden opportunity!
