Why Hobbes?
This question keeps popping up from time to time. And the answer is two-fold: - Hobbes, as in the stuffed tiger in Calvin and Hobbes. - And as Thomas Hobbes, an English political theory writer of the XVI century (on which the above mentioned tiger is based btw).
It will also be mentioned somewhere that my real name is André Galvão, that I am from Portugal and that my age is 33. This are all desinformation, of course, meant to distract you from my real identity as a member of Omega Team.
Any questions regarding me, myself and I can be made on my talk page :)
What is the Omega Team?
Bigger than Above Top Secret. Even more secret than the proven fact that the Earth is flat, not round despite what they might tell you. For more information present yourself at the server of UFO2000, a multiplayer remake of UFO Defense. You will know but I will shoot you afterwards.
Why X-COM?
Scroll back in time to when computers had the fabulous memory of 48K, namely the ZX Spectrum. The would be creators of X-COM released a game named Rebel Star, followed by Laser Squad (the predecessor to the current Laser Squad Nemesis). I like those so much that I even used some of Rebel Star's names for my fan fictions as a nod to them. A big time afterwards I got a PC and bought X-COM:Apocalypse, followed by X-COM:UFO Defense and X-COM: Terror From The Deep. Voila, love at first sight.
Fan fictions?
I've been writing a whole series of stories concerning the X-COM universe:
X-COM: The Unknown Menace - Covers the 1st Alien War (based upon UFO Defense). Long novel (692 pages)
X-COM: Eulogy - Set between the 1st and the 2nd Alien War. Short story based upon the return of X-COM to Mars.
X-COM: Abyssal - Covers the 2nd Alien War. Unfinished.
X-COM: Destined Alliance - Pre-Apocalipse story set upon the 2nd return of X-COM to Mars. Will eventually be a part of the 3rd novel, which covers the 5th Alien War, based upon X-COM: Genesis.
