X-COM Terror from the Deep (OpenXCom) - Episode 5
0Happy Halloween, Watchers and Commenters.
This is a second time I decided to combine two missions into one video without it being the psi-training episode. Both are night (deep) missions, and both are highly lethal, so we have more than enough danger on them.
Max episode count is lowered to 68 because this is a double episode.
If you have questions about happy music existing, check Episode 1's description.
The backing thumbnail for this episode is provided by my friend as a screenshot from Subnautica.
The music list and credits to people responsible for them are at the end of the video before the outro.

Okay, I decided that I want to give answers to questions you wouldn't probably asked me, but I wanted to answer them anyway because you have a holiday and I'm in a mood for a talk.
Q: do you have something that you're truly ashamed off?
A: I want to say that the pre-"Sonic CD episode 5" content is this in entirety because of a low quality of footage and my attitude towards you, watchers and commenters, but if I have to choose the only one thing - that will be "HiTmAn: The Reckoning"/"Esin: Ready for Action". This one is the epitome of crappiness that I produced and I should never forget about this on my road to redemption
Q: what is yours so-called "road to redemption"?
A: this is a variety of tasks that I must do in order to redeem myself at the very least in my own eyes. In what it consists:
- Actually finishing Sonic CD: thankfully I did that first
- Apologizing to you for my attitude: I don't know, but I think I don't insult you anymore and I did apologize several times for this in this year, and so this goal is achieved?..
- Increasing the quality of videos: compare my post-vanilla Quake 2 videos with early Sonic CD episodes and you'll definitely see an improvement!
- Doing stuff that will redeem the sucky videos of 2015-2019: Sonic CD episode remakes are the first to do so; next stop is actually creating a decent Downfall parody and then... doing a playthrough about Agent 47 in his own game in order to earn a forgiveness for those who expected Hitman games in "Esin: Ready for Action" videos and got a fanfic of XCOM
- Never producing a "Esin: Ready for Action"-style videos again: well, I love XCOM and I would want to do custom operations in XCOM 2 sometimes (with Resolutor, Wagnerson, Opposing-Forc and such) that actually could fit XCOM dossiers and the canon, but doing what I've done before is a no-no for me anymore
Q: you mention XCOM dossiers - and on that point: why you do all those quirks in the description?
A: I think they're a nice addition to the description of the episode... and I just like long descriptions that aren't copy-and-paste

Q: why you don't want to talk with us, watchers and commenters, in the comment section?
A: to be really honest with you... I'm really bad with talking to people. Real-life talking was always difficult to me. And on the Internet I may insult you with sentence structures and words that aren't insulting in russian language.
Additionally, thanks to a long time with russian gaming community, which is sadly one of the worst communities out there, I'm scared with talking everywhere, especially on my own content.
You may call me insane - and you'll probably be right. For me it's easier to imagine that I upload stuff for myself, I have 1 view per video and no subscribers. Otherwise I get nervous, like really nervous.
So that's why I talk with you using the description section and not comments.
Q: alright, I gotcha; but you should try to talk with us using the comments maybe?
A: sorry, but I can't get myself to do so; the same problem is with banners - I have an idea but getting a view on my view count will get me really sad
Q: why you call your series LPs? They include voice commentary and you don't do them...
A: I like the name "LP" more than "playthrough" or "walkthrough"
Q: may I participate in your XCOM LPs?
A: as The Unknown Watcher or The Unknown Commenter - of course; as a named soldier... there's some cases that I include more people thanks to them being milestones in multiplayer games (Rattix is the first player that I've encountered in Fallout 76 free week, so he will appear here soon), but if you want to be included using the comment section here as a dedicated soldier instead of Commenter or Watcher... I don't know. This is related to two questions above too.
14th of March, 2021 update - check the questionarium in Episode 26 for more details.
Q: I feel your videos are like a spam
A: I'm sorry you're feeling that way, I didn't intend to spam them in the months since XCOM 2 LP
Q: can you re-do the girl on the thumbnail?
A: 14th of March, 2021 update - I re-did the first 6 thumbnails, enjoy
Q: do you intend to leave just like you did with Sonic CD episode 4?
A: no, I'm going to stay, unless I have some unholy combination of problems
Well, that's it for the questions. Enjoy the episode.
