For this new playthrough I turned the tutorial back on, since it has a bunch of the story stuff in it that gets entirely omitted from the "no, thanks, I know how to play" version. In the process, I was reminded of one of the great moments in video game voiceover design, in one of the early cutscenes:


INT. AVENGER BRIDGE. An XCOM TECHNICIAN looks up from one of the consoles and calls to CENTRAL.

COMMTECH
voice of BRANDON KEENER
Sir! A transmission's coming in from the ADVENT network tower! I think you're gonna want to hear this.

SCREEN INSET. SNAKEMAN GEDDY LEE The ADVENT SPEAKER stands at a podium with PROPAGANDISTIC GRAPHICS scrolling along behind him.

THE SPEAKER
also very obviously the voice of BRANDON KEENER
Fellow citizens. For twenty years, the ADVENT coalition etc. etc.

WTG, guys! :)

that commtech's a spy!, as I believe the young people say
