XCOM: UFO Defense

Some time in the future we'll need to start thinking to add it (and the FPS) to its own specific wiki. But for the time being I'm wondering if we should have a single page to compile all infomation being coming out until it gets released. I'm thinking of features like weapons, races, combat system, research, etc. Hobbes 08:27, 13 January 2012 (EST)

Obviously we will need to make a XCOM (2012) and XCOM (FPS) section, but perhaps a temporary page like Upcoming Titles or something where features and other things of the new games can be advertised until they go live? -NKF 15:27, 13 January 2012 (EST)

I think one page each is good for now. Keep it vague, 'cause even things we have details on are subject to change. Stick the "upcoming titles" section on the main page, it doesn't really need it's own article. -  Bomb Bloke (Talk/Contribs) 19:19, 13 January 2012 (EST)

Hey all. There's already a ton of information available about XCOM: Enemy Unknown 2012 on a specific thread at the 2K Forums and I'm thinking of creating the initial page/template (based on the original game's page categories) and updating it as new information is revealed. Two questions, though, the first is that the page needed to be added to the list of games on the left. The second concerns the name 'XCOM', since we had decided to use the 'X-COM' version, but now Firaxis went back to the original spelling. Which should we use? Hobbes 16:31, 10 June 2012 (EDT)

X-COM (2012) perhaps? I'd settle on XCOM mainly for Enemy Unknown or the classic titles in general. Also about the main image - I'm not sure how it can be done, but a way to randomise the opening picture to that of any one of the games would be fantastic. Might have to see if we can find a plug-in that can do this and hassle Pete to install it. -NKF 01:34, 11 June 2012 (EDT)

What I'd like to propose is that we be more flexible with the current convention and allow both uppercase forms (XCOM/X-COM) to be used on the wiki, but not X-Com, XCom, Xcom or any other variation. It makes things more easy for both new/old users.Hobbes 08:01, 11 June 2012 (EDT)

For the name of the new game page I'm using the name 'XCOM (2012)', although I'm thinking now it would make more sense to call it 'EU (2012)' and list it on the left pane as 'Enemy Unknown (2012). Then have all associated pages with the game have the suffix (EU2012) attached, like (EU), (TFTD) or (Apocalypse). There's still Marin's FPS shooter coming out next year, if it isn't cancelled so using XCOM as a suffix may be confusing later. Hobbes 08:01, 11 June 2012 (EDT)

We have always appreciated eye glasses for how they have helped us improve our vision over the past 700 years. They are practical, functional, and do their job. But let’s face it… it can be easily misplaced and a hassle to search for them on our desk, in our purse, in our car, etc. It is the same with contact lenses. After coming home from a long night out, we just want to wash our faces and knock out, without having to squint and pinch around our eyes. That is why the invention of laser eye surgery has been a godsend! LASIK surgery Las Vegas procedures are popular due to the quick and painless nature of the operation with a very short recovery time. The idea of having a laser beaming through your eyeballs may seem daunting, but a thorough explanation of the steps involved will clear up any confusion and diffuse any fears you may have.

During the consultation, patients of LASIK Las Vegas surgeons will undergo an eye exam to determine what type of correction their eyes need and how much laser ablation will be required. Also, any signs of dry eye disease must be treated and healed completely before the surgery. Using a corneal topographer, the doctor measures the curvature and general shape of the eye, as well as a wavefront analysis that sends light waves throughout the eye to reveal a more detailed layout of your eye.

LASIK surgery is such a speedy procedure that most patients are awake for the entire five minutes that is required for the surgery, even though a mild oral sedative may be administered beforehand. Before surgery begins, patients will be given numbing eye drops to minimize any sort of discomfort. Then as one eye is placed under a certain retainer to keep the eyelids open, the doctor will use an ink marker to pinpoint the cornea. The flap is formed by a microkeratome or femtosecond laser, but it is still secured to the rest of your cornea by a suction ring to prevent any tearing or looseness. A computer is used to modify the laser for each patient’s particular prescription. The patient will be asked to focus on a target as the laser sends pulses through the eye. With each light pulse, the cornea is slowly being reshaped to allow more light into eye thus improving the vision drastically.

After the LASIK Las Vegas procedure, patients will only be required to relax for a few hours and are able to return to work the next day. However, you must take it easy for the next couple days with no strenuous exercise. If you are tired of nose pads from your glasses and feeling around in the dark for your contact case, LASIK surgery is perfect for you!
