THESE TUTORIAL VIDEOS ARE FROM A SEPERATE PLAYTHROUGH AND DO NOT CONTINUE INTO THE MAIN SET OF VIDEOS.
*Wait times, overplanning, and dead time is edited out to make viewing much more interesting! I do try to include moments of forethought so it makes some sense and isn't just constant shooting.

This mission appears if you tick the box for the meld tutorial mission in options. Basically, meld is a new pickup in the "Enemy Within" expansion pack for "XCOM: Enemy Unknown" and it grants you access to some new tech trees later on. It's good stuff and it makes you want to move quicker through a mission rather than hunker down in a safe spot since the Meld will self-destruct after a bit.

Quick breakdown for you: XCOM is a long running series that set a definitive style of turn based battles using ranged weapons, various powers, and other equipment to repel the aliens menacing Earth!
Whew.
Anyway, this is the reboot which brought nice graphics and other doodads. The "Enemy Within" expansion pack is being used on the base game "XCOM: Enemy Unknown". It basically tightens up the mechanics and adds a couple new classes and the "meld" pickup to reward people for quickly moving through maps rather than biding their time.
Hopefully this "abridged" playthrough will be a refreshing way to view the series!
