The Oh, Oh, Oh, My name is Gary Butterfield. My name is Cole Ross. And you're listening to watch out for Fireballs, it is a Games Club podcast.

And this week we are continuing our discussion of Excom 2, including War of the Chosen, which is a strategy game developed by Feraxis and published by 2K

games for PC and consoles in 2016 and listen to part one because we're going

to assume that you have.

Yeah this is the first time we've split a game like this

I think we did something similar to that with Batman Arkham been a two-part episode but for some reason we made

it one yeah I don't I don't recall it was so long it was so many so long ago so many decades ago yeah

you know by I'm sure it's six years yeah it's eight years so like that yeah yeah

yeah so we're getting into the actual beat by beat here.

This game was sponsored by Joseph.

Thank you, Joseph, sincerely.

And this is we're going to be talking about story missions,

the various types of procedural missions, enemy units, the tactics that show up

kind of throughout the timeline of the game. Yes, because of the way things are shuffled up, you're going to run into stuff differently.

Gary will have run into things at different times on this.

You know, if there is a chronological mismatch here, that's just because I made these notes based on my

play-through. Yes. Yeah, so we let's get into it. Yeah. We have this opening cutscene. A technician hacks into the security cameras of an advent gene modification facility.

Security is very high and the old general guy we have from the Avenger, Did you know that this is the the nerd from the first

one grown up? Is it the nerd? Okay, I didn't know it was the nerd. I know he you know he really likes

you know so he it's it's somebody that you worked with yeah but

oh gosh I forget his name yeah it's it the names of characters don't matter that much. I know them by the role they serve. Yeah, yeah, he's just here to cheer you on every step of the way basically

But now he's tough. He's Bradford. Yes, he'siseled. There we go.
