It can all be blamed on UK high street stores.
God my bum is sore 
, that's a fair few hours in one go.
Ironman is harrrrddddd even in normal, although research and build que is essential to get right, if you can get them right then it should be soooo much easier. Laser rifles are soooo much better.
Think I might have to start again
, I can't get enough alloy, I think you only get that by downing ships and doing the mission and I think the only way to detect ships is with Satelites? Which I haven't built

Anyone who has completed UFO/TFTD and doesn't play on at *least* Classic, brings shame upon his entire family
Yeah I was Googling and this is the accepted reason. It's done so brick and mortar resellers don't get angry. And for some reason, those retail chains historically release on Teusday in the US, and Friday everywhere else.
So digital distribution has to match their release dates.
The day when we all buy digitally can't come soon enough. For us, for the developers, and for cutting out the middle man (distribution chains, where a large % of the retail price ends up).
No way! The tutorial one?
what difficulty?
arg I hate you all, I'm too wuss to attempt VPN
Me too, but it'll be all the sweeter come the 12th.

That sounds about right for the original from memory...
I can remember some of my squad a few levels along on the original still barely managing to hit a barn door, with a shot gun, when they were standing with their nose pressed against it.
