Ok, but will you promise to not whine about it when you get it? ;)

I will only play the new Mech Warrior if I have the choice of driving a Metal Gear Rex.



Ok I lie, I'd probably play it anyway.

MPBT 3025?  *Sigh* I really did like that game, shame Microsoft bullied EA into pulling the plug and never letting it see the light of day out of closed beta.

This is where someone who's been around enough can point out any of the miriad ways to interpret american, european, australian, asian, or what have you's cultural accents as ridiculous when you see them spoken, typed or acted out.  It's the same in every country.  e.g. American brass tacks pragmatism "interpreted" as vulgar, or Italian design savvy as girly, French nonchalance as lazy, etc.

So what you're saying is that you're not actually whining, you're just being French?

No, I don't buy that for a Dollar.  :lol

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I'll buy this game in a heart beat, probably have to build a new rig just to play it too.

One of my fondest gaming memories involves trips to the Battletech Center in Chicago while I was in college.  Each player had a pod they sat in, multiple monitors, all kinds of read outs and buttons to select weapons etc.

Last time I was there, they had 12 pods and would link 6 together for 3vs3 PvP action.

They also had a lobby area where they had twelve monitors, one for each pod.  So, while you were waiting for your time in the game you could see what every other player was seeing on his main screen.  It was almost as much fun watching our friends blasting each other as it was to actually play.

It was really good gaming for 1990ish.

Good times, good times.

Wow, who would have thought that all this could come froma game that consisted of a 40page rule book, some 2-D cardboard counters, and 2 six-sided dice.  Kinda makes me think that AH is the digital version of "Mustangs & Meserschmits" in a way.
