What's your current goal? I'm interested to know how far you are in the game.

Popo, I just completed the mission where you go into the alien base and encounter a Sectoid who is able to mind-control a troop. As it happens, those four guys were killed and it was down to you and Fast. The sectoid turned YOU against Fast, so I got Fast the fuck away from you and Fast killed him while you were trying to kill Fast.

Funny enough, Popo has been the star of this campaign. She's been kicking ass since Mission 1. Sniper, ranked all the way up. Mjmjr was an unreal Heavy, so I'm bummed to lose him. Fast and ZenErik are my other two favorite Snipers. S1mplehumar has been a vet, but she infuriates me because she misses a lot of shots for a Sniper. But she's got luck on her side.

If you're going to have a soldier mind controlled, a sniper is not a bad one to lose. A mind controlled assault will devastate your team.

You're getting pretty on in the missions. Nice to see that your campaign is going well.

yeah well, this is my 7th attempt starting a campaign. And nearly 70 hrs. So it's good to hear I'm getting there now haha. Don't tell me how close I am to finishing. I'm scared that might disappoint me if I'm not as close as I think haha.

All I'll say is you should expect to see mind control guys regularly.

I'm up to the part where you need to shoot down an Overseer... it's tough. I've got the new ship, and I had the upgrades, but no good. Now I am missing one of the upgrades cuz I need more Sectopods to build it. Annoying.

BTW, I've now played over 80 hrs of this game. I'm fairly certain that's the most I've put into any game this generation.
