I plan on doing this once I get the huge HDMI cable I ordered in the mail. Should be in this week. I want to play XCOM while sitting on the couch with my laptop on my, uh, lap, gawking at my giant television.

I don't understand. What's the appeal of that?

I think I'm going to restart on Ironman.  The temptation to reload after an alien gets a lucky hit is to much.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I don't know yet, as I've never done it before. :P

I thought it might be cool to try. The cable is only $6 so if I don't like it, no big loss.

Okay, Playing Ironman is fucking tense.  I swear my soldiers are worse shots as well.  I had four guys miss 45% in a row.

Well, this is a mixed blessing.  My computer lags like hell on the demo, so it doesn't look like I'll be buying it just yet; at least, not until I finish my new rig, which isn't really a priority at the moment.

My best soldiers so far have been slavs. My worst: Canadians.  :hmm:
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

This is why I got it for both pc and xbox. I've tried hooking my laptop to my projector and used wireless keyboard/mouse....it just doesn't feel as natural as playing on the xbox.

I can't believe how good snipers are. Squad site and double tap make them wrecking machines! My best one just hit colonel.....he is Canadian...wtf?

Yeah re-nicknamed my sniper "reaper" as seems to rarely miss. Leads squad in kills by 2-1 margin.
