This is a tribute to one of my favorite games of all time, XCOM: Enemy Within. A recap of the main events of Enemy Unknown and it's DLC while at the same time leaning a little into canon, ending with the invasion of XCOM's base and with the Commander's subsequent capture: the events leading to XCOM 2.

Originally, I was going to do a video connecting both games, but it would have been a little to long and I felt I wouldn't be able do justice to the second game.

I wanted this video to both celebrate and synthesize the first the game. While I don't think came close to what I expected, I'm happy on how it came along, considering I couldn't get footage of the first game since I don't have a copy anymore.

This video was made with lots of duct tape and paper mache. A lot of the footage was from what I've managed to find online and extract from the trailers of the game. I'll probably redo it someday when I have the time. If anyone is bothered by my use of their footage in this video, feel free to contact me and I'll remove it.

- Adressing the issue with canon:
I'm well aware we supposedly lost the war before even researching laser weapons, but that never feel right to me. I always liked to think that we at least put up a struggle against the aliens, managing to get pretty far before XCOM inevitably fell. Anyway, it's not like the games have some sort of hardcanon, often making using of retcons. I probably would make a video closer to canon, but like I said, couldn't get the footage.
