Vahlen will definitely yell at you to not blow stuff up in the tutorial mission, but you are well advised to ignore what she says. Blowing up stuff is key, and you gather enough resources as the game goes on that it doesn't matter, even in UFO missions.

Yeah. Keep a charger / battery pack at hand because those sessions be long.

I'm going Commander Ironman before I tackle Veteran. To soften the blow.

Oh how it knows. To break your heart.

Most definitely. The UI is such that a touch screen is a natural fit. The learning curve is gentle too, unlike a lot of hardcore strategy games. What I've found is that you actually want to restart the game straight away at a higher difficulty.

Perfect marriage of Epic visuals married to the most sublime and perfect soundtrack. As a viking descendant it makes me feel things. So yeah, in agreement.

For the record, I have already clocked up 90 hours on XCOM 2. And I'm on my second Ironman Commander campaign, testing out mods.

This is one for the ages. Civilization, Age Of Empires, Sim City, XCOM. It's an enormous timesink you'll happily throw yourself at again and again. I've sunk so many hours into XCOM Enemy Unknown and Within between my iMac and my actual favourite platform to play it on: an iPad, that I can't even count. Even with the

I was watching his Closer Look on Apple vs FBI which was surprisingly well informed and clear. It was only the attempt at jokes that fell flat. Seriously, a joke about Apple Maps in 2016?

How was BoJack not on this list? By far my favourite into sequence since True Detective s01. Far superior to Rick & Morty's clip show for sure.

Always looking forward to your reviews.

Are you a Yub Nub defender?

I believe that might be a limitation of the Wiki software? You'll see that the character is spelled Þórunn throughout the article other than the headline.

Can we please stop writing Porunn? If you can't muster up the Unicode Þorunn, it is perfectly acceptable to anglicise it to Thorunn.

30 Hours could have easily been cut entirely from the album if not for the sickest burn of all: "My ex says she gave me the best years of her life / I saw a recent picture of her, I guess she was right".

"Attenborough also keenly pointed out (in a very modern way) the much-talked about flip phone seen in the video."

Prequels are obviously exempt.

More interesting tangent possibility: Is there a beloved sequel to a universally hated first movie?

The split is usually between people born in the early 80s or the late 80s. People born in the 70s are definitely not nostalgic for the 90s.

This is my opinion as well, unchanged by what they became. Walking on the Sun is actually great.
