Starve Is A Gourmet Transmetropolitan For The 21st Century
Today's Infection by Warren Ellis, the writer of Transmet, and Declan Shavey also highlights the insanity of rich people food… …as well as giving us a hard edged kitchen-based fight scene. While tonight, I've just taken pride in making a perfect coleslaw with yoghurt and walnuts and am safe in the knowledge that there is a stock[...]

From Strip To Script – Global Frequency #2 And 'Rescue Fiction'
Combine that with trying to keep global panic down, or how I'll often bite off more than I can chew on the Terror Missions (where you have to directly rescue civilians)…well, it's maybe wishful thinking or willful ignorance, but I always try to approach XCOM as more of a rescue fiction game (and, y'know, if[...]
