LOL...read if you dare.   The stupid it hurts to read.   

This line :

Yet despite the absence of this blue glow we can still see blue coloured oceans which according to the opinion of some obtain their colour from the very same blue sky glow.

suggests to me that this is a spoof. Or at least I hope it is...

Well it doesn't suprise me if someone thought that.   They are dumb enough to see a reflection of sunlight off the comm antenna on the moonwalkers PLSS backbacks and claim it is a "wire".

Without a blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of extremism or fundamentalism that someone won't mistake for the real thing.

But since what we claim to be our satellites are really aliens in Unobtanium-Fueled-Orbiters, we lose that argument.

That would be Elerium, not Unobtainium. Elerium-115. You get 50 units of it per Power Source.

That does my old heart good. (I worked on the original x-com series.)

I'll be honest, I found that game very hard to get into, though I know a lot of people revere it.

It was fun on the Amiga. Completed it a couple of times, then started to edit the game files to get supersoldiers every time.

Really loved that game.  The reboot, not so much, although I do enjoy it.  It was just dumbed down a little too much. I guess the target market doesn't have the patience for resource management us old farts have.

Kudos. The originals are still one of my favourite series; I played TFTD the last time less than a week ago.

Actually, I just got a copy of that from Oldgames (or something like that) and am planning to play it as soon as I finish up my current (new) XCOM game.
