    152 replies, posted
Hi guys! Welcome to the Beaglerush Megathread for all your XCOM needs! [B]Who is Beaglerush?[/B] Beaglerush is a popular twitch streamer/youtube content creator who mainly focuses on his XCOM Long War Ironman Impossible campaigns. [B]Streamer? When does he stream?[/B] He streams EVERY Tuesday and Thursday, both days being different campaigns. The Tuesday campaign is sponsored by Firaxis and 2K Games so it's his more serious stream while the Thursday stream is more casual and laid back. [B]You also mentioned Youtube?[/B] Yep. He also runs a THIRD campaign that is posted almost every day, if not every day, on his channel that he commentates over and gives a breakdown of moves and turns. This is his most popular series and it's called "Live and Impossible" which is another Long War Ironman Impossible campaign that he runs. [B]How far is each campaign?[/B] "Live and Impossible" on his youtube is currently on episode 88. So he's pretty far into the Long War campaign there. Don't worry though, if you're interested, I will supply a link to the playlist at the bottom of the OP. The Tuesday campaign is the newest campaign he has started and it marks the return of his Tuesday Morning XCOM that lasts from either 2 hours to 10 hours a day. The Thursday campaign is the longer of the two livestream campaigns and is currently being streaming NOW as of the time of this posting. [B]Anything else I should know?[/B] Well, if you own XCOM Enemy Unknown AND Enemy Within and want to play Long War, you can download it from [URL="http://www.nexusmods.com/xcom/mods/88/?"]here[/URL]. He also sometimes (SOMETIMES) posts random videos of other video games he will play. Also after he finishes his XCOM stream he streams other games such as Homeworld Remastered. Other than that, not really. Feel free to provide any improvements to the OP if need be and enjoy!

hey what a coincidence, im watching thursday night xcom right now! i know there have been a couple threads for beagle in the past, but none ever seemed to really stick. i hope this one does
Beagle's got the right sort of voice and attitude that I think he makes a good commentator but I just can't sit through the Live and Impossible videos, because I don't have the time and it kills my enthusiasm to play the game myself I really liked his old content with Shacktac but its a shame that's at an end now
I gave up when he decided to ditch the Ironman Impossible for the Live and Impossible. Shit just takes too much time and the fun factor of only highlights is gone. I watched 3 episodes of Live and Impossible before and it took him almost 5 minutes to finish a turn, with "uhhhhh...", "uhmmm..." in between.
He's facing off against a shitload of Muton Elites in the livestream

I love Beagle... 's videos.

And yeah LnI most definitely gets better with time.
I haven't watched his twitch campaign for two months. Is it still the same campaign? Anything crazy happening? Did he ever get enough corpses to research tac rigging?
[QUOTE=richard9311;47267544]I haven't watched his twitch campaign for two months. Is it still the same campaign? Anything crazy happening?

The first death was a soldier named "Memester" (name due to a random name picker since he did a raffle for names that people entered for)
[QUOTE=joshuadim;47268798]His Tuesday campaign has seen deaths. The first death was a soldier named "Memester" (name due to a random name picker since he did a raffle for names that people entered for)[/QUOTE] Oh, I was talking about his thrusday night xcom, I should have clarified. To catch up, I need to watch 10 Thursday streams worth of xcom. At a conservative estimate of six hours a stream, that's 60 hours I need to catch up on. I don't think I can do. that.
I think everyone would love to see an archived set of his current campaign, but by now, I think about 90% of the thursday twitch campaign is lost forever because of Twitch clearing most stream recordings.
i wish he would just skip the uneventful ufo recoveries and highlight them or something, i almost never watch them anymore
New Live and Impossible is up! [video=youtube;sqdQWHcG5a8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqdQWHcG5a8[/video]
wow, an episode where iku hits most of his shots
I love me some beagle. :rock:
I would do things to beagles voice [editline]8th March 2015[/editline] with my penis
So I downloaded Long War recently I'm fucking terrible at it on Normal difficulty I wonder how Beagle can even manage on Ironman Impossible

Been watching Live and Impossible from the start today. This is really fun to watch. I reinstalled XCOM and am playing it on my own now while watching his videos and I feel like it makes me play vanilla XCOM way more cautiously than I could. :v:
You can never be too careful in XCOM.
I preferred his Ironman Impossible to his Live videos. Ironman Impossible are just a lot more condense and straight to the point. Plus, that tune at the start of each episode. You all know the one.

Live and Impossible S2 #10 [sp]FRAAAAAAAAAAAG!!!!!!!!! :([/sp]
You know I never understood why beagle had such a massive fear of drones. I accidentally activated 2 drone pods on Impossible with a bunch of rookies in the first month, that drone pod quickly turned from 2 to 4 and I now share his fear of drones in early months now. rip rookies, never hit a fucking shot.
My goodness, the firaxis o'clock stream is chaos because of timezones combined with daylight savings, it hasn't even started yet. [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/66963506/Bagel/EvenFiraxis.PNG[/IMG] Panic!
Huh, that's weird. Hope they start up soon
This FiraxisOClock stream is getting silly. He's just hit the early large ship landing and he still doesn't have a single medic, and because he's been trying for early Gauss he's still using ballistic weapons. Good thing he has alloy plates and flashbangs.
New Live and Impossible up! Come watch it ladies and gentlemen! [video=youtube;de2RNISsaLA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de2RNISsaLA[/video]
