Original UFO: Enemy Unknown (what it was called here, in NZ) was one of my formative games back in '93 ... amazing to see that its still going strong to the point of having a fully fleshed 40k mod
it has quite a decent number of total overhaul/conversion mods, the pirates one is amazing too. theres a few that change it all up and its more like fantasy and magic, than guns and aliens
BENPEROR RETURNED TO HUMANITY AS WAS FORETOLD BY MAGNUS THE GREAT! WE ARE SAVED! I was waiting for so long and I am so glad you are back, can't wait to watch this servies three times over
Does anyone know what version of the mod he's playing, or where to get it? I downloaded the one I was accustomed to and it doesn't seem to have all the same features as this one...
Idea for games night! Why not get in some 40k Cosplayers who have armies for some narrative battle reports? Maybe Iron Warrior Cosplay, Exeter cosplay and Co. Can get midwinter mini's back in too!
while i enjoy having them together for the banter, i'd much rather watch ben, since he is ...well.. competent at strategy games. lewis would royaly mess up a heavily modified game like w40k
@@Riftweaver1981 i think lewis' gross negligence in the macro role is part of what made these streams so special. will always be my favourite yog stream and duo
I think Lewis has slowly started to accept he might've spread himself way too thin in the past with maybe feeling he had to be part of so many different things. It's one thing to maybe manage a few channels, its another to manage a few channels, and a large ensemble of affiliated streamers/content creators 'and' feel you need to take a direct role in supporting them all whenever you can.
No Ben I can’t. I just finished going through all of your original series and now I’m trying to binge your rimworld series. I can’t have a new Xcom 40K series going on as well
Ah thank you! I just noticed there's a separate track too that somewhat Gregorian chant-y that sounds like it could be the original Chaos Gate game too but I'm not sure?@@williamcadence
Ah! So this is the video he was talking about on the warhammer stream with Tom! I would love to see either another run of Lewis and Ben XCOM 2 OR Sharky and Palp XCOM 2 in the same format with the hot seat. I get it may not be the most replayable game but I love it and the two series on this channel of it! I think adding the Tom and Ben dynamic would be just as good in a whacky way to Lewis and Ben.
I would appreciate if he actually did a full playthrough of battle brothers with Lewis. He should download the legend mod since it actually balances the game better and is basically just a vanilla plus.
@@TangentRecardYeah. Also text heavy games might not be good from streaming point of view. It very quickly then goes basicly stremer spending while reading text outloud instead actually playing the game so it just isnt entertaining for viewers
I still replay X-piratez and X-com Files every year religiously (one pt each year, so 2 years gap for every mod version). I tried X-com 40k, but found it extremely confusing later on, so I'll be interested in seeing what you do with it.
Why is he just trying to get the ogryn killed? He's charging it straight at the enemies, just as close as possible, no attempts to attack with it, just running right at them until it gets shot and killed.
Hey ben! I don't know if you'll see this but if you like battletech at all I'd highly reccommend the RogueTech mod for the Harebrained Schemes game. It turns it into a full 'roguelike' campaign and adds a fucktonne of stuff from the tabletop game as well as tweaking the mechanics to be more accurate.
I don't think I've heard Arbites pronounced like that before (though it does make sense) Any place i hear it people say its like you would Astartes (A-Start-ees) Arbites (Ar-bee-tees) If someone here knows the actual way to say it id love to know
People say ARR-Bites out of 'lazyness'. You're only dropping a hard staccato syllable of a silly name and everyone knows what you're talking about anyways.
Arbeetees is the GW approved "correct" way of saying it, but it sounds terrible, so I'm sticking with arbites. The correct way sounds way to much like Diabetes to take it seriously.
@@TheHappyCenter420 But then it's bit-er versus beet-ees. Either way you go about it, they aren't sharing their pronounciation. I just don't think that I can take an organisation seriously when their name sounds like a breakfast cereal. "have you eaten your arbeetess today?
Hes already played through it last year when it released. There's 2 episodes of Chaos Gate on this very channel, but unfortunately only 2 streams made it onto youtube so the rest is presumably lost to time now. This is also why he mentioned having played Grey knights recently when he was choosing his faction at around the 10 min mark.

To be fair Ben, this planet looks nothing like holy Terra because there is still water

Oh _duh_, he shows it at the start. It's the ROSIGMA versionnnn.
praise the omnissiah!
I'll come back to watch the video I going gold detecting with my dad 😂
The benperor has truly return huzzah!!!!
I love that they overhauled the whole game and still left you with the absolute crap default base layout.
You can turn on an option to customize it to be fair, but yeah they should really have changed the default
that tank miss was bs 😂
What a cool, chill guy.
Oh my Benperor YES I loved this series back when you first played and I'm so hype to see how the mod has evolved since 🎉
Idea for games night! Why not get in some 40k Cosplayers who have armies for some narrative battle reports? Maybe Iron Warrior Cosplay, Exeter cosplay and Co. Can get midwinter mini's back in too!
What happened to Lewis?
His schedule is overfull :(
god the mechanicus music is amazing
Love to see old XCOM back on the channel - Definitely I miss the old Lewis/Ben dynamic on XCOM games but Ben saving the world is good too!
It's just not X-COM if Lewis isn't sending the squad out without enough ammo.

They should add jokaeros :)
Its been soooooo long

I love seeing more xcom on the channel!
U should ask hat films for help finding u car. U might end up with a dog dick red robin but hey saves u the trouble!
Yeeeeeeeeeees
Ben BBBBBBben BBBBBBBben
No Ben I can’t. I just finished going through all of your original series and now I’m trying to binge your rimworld series. I can’t have a new Xcom 40K series going on as well
woooooo
When saving the world becomes a one man job😢
Are you a gamer
Glad to see a ton of updates on the channel lately!!!!
I think the commenter was confusing the 1 fallen sister with the 1 fallen grey knight.
absolutely and undeniably back
What’s the background music Ben’s using in the stream, I think Codex Compliant uses the same tracks but for the life of me I can’t place it.
Comments that have replies draw more attention so here's me hoping someone knowledgeable will help you out.
I believe it's from the MS DOS game Space Crusade :)

Tom isn't one for xcom, too slow for his tastes iirc.
@@kingkuma4112 Also, Tom would actually equip Ben adequately for ground missions, unlike Commander “Bean Counter” Brindley

yay i bin wanting this for a whill
My FACE is my Shield!
HUARRRRGGGHH
OMG Ben! This will be so much more fun
LETS GOOOOOOO
Me seeing this video: Ah i guess he didn't like the rogue trader game then?
No he sadly did not. Understandably though, there is a lot of text walls in that game.
I think he mentioned it in the latest Total war stream with Tom that it was difficult to get through little lines voice acted
No reading, only leading, it seems. Ah well. Don’t let that dissuade others from playing it. It’s very satisfying.

ohhhhhhhh bentstic

WE'RE BACK ON THIS? HELL YEAH. When are Ben streams?
I still replay X-piratez and X-com Files every year religiously (one pt each year, so 2 years gap for every mod version). I tried X-com 40k, but found it extremely confusing later on, so I'll be interested in seeing what you do with it.
Yo how did you bring the storm talon into the battlescape????
Why is he just trying to get the ogryn killed? He's charging it straight at the enemies, just as close as possible, no attempts to attack with it, just running right at them until it gets shot and killed.
Ben when the unit he charges straight toward the enemy in no cover dies: "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Woah never heard of this before, looks really interesting. Nice music in the intro
The tank and then the cultist spam + grenade spam was brutal
Deathwatch are the ones from any legion rigyt?
wasnt there a game on the psp that was essentially 40k xcom too?
can you get eversor assassins in this mod?
Which mod is this? I never knew they made a 40k one for xcom.
Less than a week after i finished the xcom files this was posted, so ofc i had to come look
3 Weeks ago? gish I didnt know they were still doing it! Amazing!
Did anyone set up a Ben car fund? Homie has a young family & lost a car. Surely we can at least help?
woot! looking forward to this!
Ooh now I've really got a reason to watch twitch more! Go Ben! 🥰
How does his game look so nice? My game looks more grainey. But I do love watching Ben play Xcom. I always play along when he plays.
I just came here for the tank shot. It's at 2:00:40
Like fish in a barrel😢
I was killed before leaving the ship by a tank, a glorious death for the Benperor
Still streaming this?
I don't know if it's even technically possible. But I hope that at some point there will be some other factions to play.
Looking forward to this.

@voodoominerman i get that, but being that the word is biased off Arbiter not saying it similarly sounds dumb to me
@voodoominerman like Ar-Bite-er just sounds silly you know? But that might just be me as a halo fan

GeneStealer Cults are like my favorite faction. HERESY DETECTED!
This is going to be a cake walk....😂
2:00:50 The emperor does not accept cowards. Sadly good soldiers died for the cowardice of their commander.
Haven't watched the whole video yet, but try middle clicking things to bring up info.
Ben. You should play warhammer 40k chaos gate. It's like Xcom but with grey knights
Hes already played through it last year when it released.

We did it!
Ar-Bit-Ease
That's why they are called Ar-Bit-ers
I. NEED. MORE!!!
YES!
2:00:40 HOLY SHOT OMG very painful
The sister did not get her real gun
That's uh, a lot of dead bois
Woh! Again!?
Xcom any mod anytime.
Chaos Gate was disappointing, this is better.
what? WHAT?!
God hell men, are you played xcom 1994 before? You make rediculos moves) i think tactical games is not for you, you best play some pokemons
