It could go on a daily deal any day, but best guess is that it will be on sale around July 4th for the Steam Summer Sale.

Second tuesday of next week. The more important question is when is the next absolutely retarded and irrelevant question going to be asked in PCG, this one being rhetorical.

I think a better question is, why is it that Aliens get free movement on my turn.

Also, why can they use pistols to snipe my sniper when my sniper couldn't hit them back because they only had like a 4% chance of hitting from across the entire map.

They get to run to cover, but they also never get to have the jump on you. You always either have a free half round or full round against them (depending on whether you run into them or they run into you).

You know what sucks about Ironman runs. When 6 green mutons and 2 red mutons decides to spawn on the other side of a rock 2 units away from a soldier, and use their free move and get every one of those 8 units into point blank range of me, without giving me time or ability to respond.

Yeah. This is has happened to me. Multiple times, and caused total squad wipeout that I couldn't prevent, because the game spawned units literally 2 blocks away from me.

When are we going to see a development kit? I'd love to do a total conversion mod to a fantasy sword and sorcery type of turn based action. Whip up some models, spell effects, and animations!

i dont know when the next sale is gonna be... good thing i grabbed it last week at $10 ($16 from GMG and i had $6 GMG credits)

having a blast playing it... sometimes i feel its a bit simplistic but i still like it

yeah... those little details suck. I also hate how they dont do anything until i see them.

I DONT ALWAYS SEE ALIENS, BUT WHEN I DO, MY SCOUT IS IN A HORRIBLE POSITION

I've had them path into line of sight of my units on their turn, go "Oh hay, we just moved but h00mans to shoot!" And get another free move and use that to flank half my squad and then open fire.

That's a restarting...

make sure it's a good sale.. cause while it's fun for a bit.. it gets super repetitive fast.

Preorder Bioshock Infinite on Steam and get it for free (most likely). It's already 3/4 of the way to the unlock for it. Probably will unlock at this rate in the next three days.
