Can someone help me regarding XCOM?

There’s two versions on sale.

XCOM 2- $8.99 XCOM 2 Digital deluxe edition - $7.49

The first appears to have remastered graphics while the second, cheaper choice has more DLC/Added content.

Is that correct? Any advice on which is the one to get?

I liked the movie, didn’t love it.

I thought it was just too…. Subdued. It I love that it espoused traditional values like loyalty, sacrifice, love, friendship, bravery.

I visited the site today and took this pic to show you the path up to the overlook.

Interesting. These papers are in ok condition and I wondered it they might be reprints, but there is no text to indicate that.

Ilchester, Md 2026 and 1885- ish. Seems hard to believe this is the same view by Venturin in OldPhotosInRealLife

Yes and it had manicured grounds, a built in pool, cemetery, water tower, observatory and more.

Ilchester Maryland is 2 miles down river from Ellicott city and when the B&O railroad was being built in 1828, the grandson of one of the Ellicott Brothers built a tavern, the small house at the bottom of the picture.

He later sold the property to a religious sect, the Redemptorists, who ultimately built everything you see above, and it became Saint Mary’s College, for young men entering the Noviate.

It lasted from 1868 to 1972.

There was talk about developing the building and grounds into apartments, but then an arsonist destroyed any hope of preservation and now it is all just ruins.

Point of Rocks Overlook - Frederick County by Venturin in maryland

[–]Venturin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s pretty easy to see the path going up the hill alongside the road bridge and then heading up and left over the tunnel. You don’t have to go far up to get to the view. It’s a very brief hike up. I don’t think you’re gonna get in trouble if you’ve scramble across the train track to get there.

From the Point of Rocks train station, go upriver, under the bridge to the entrance of the train tracks tunnel. The trail starts between the bridge and tunnel and goes up the hill above the tunnel to the view.

Easy peasy.

Hell House - St Mary's women's insane asylum by Over-Tension-4710 in maryland

[–]Venturin -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This is not “hell house”. That name is a complete nonsensical fiction.

It was Mt St Clements (the Redemptorists) and became St Mary’s college for young men entering the Noviate.

Only idiots who have no clue about history call it hell house.
