Hey falcon. My wife had a port when she did her chemo. They had to flush it every time they needed to draw blood. Took a little time but it was far easier than trying to hit a vein.

Yup. I had all 3 PC games plus few add ons. Read few Battletech paperbacks back in the day. Was hoping the new Mechwarrior game had SP elements... Ahh well.

I remember a lot more than 3 single player games. There was the original Mechwarrior back in the '80s, and after that there was Mechwarrior 2, Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries, Mechwarrior 3, Mechwarrior 4, Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries, Mech Commander and Mech Commander 2. Seems like you have some catching up to do!

Mech Commander 1&2 are tactical RTS games, and a lot of fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MQPWE_M_EM

Ahh right! I had 4 too, I remember cussing on few missions LOL. Fallen heroes I don't remember, Was it SP? (Single player) MWO looks awesome but I don't have time to get into it.

You mean Living Legends? That was a very comprehensive multiplayer mod for Crysis. In many ways it is better than Mechwarrior Online.

Interesting. Frankly I don't really like MP games except for games like AH & War thunder (those games are kinda equalizer for my disability.). If I play games online like COD 4 and the like, my disability will interfere the enjoyment (IE not able to side step or use the ironsites quickly enough) so I tend to look for good sims/FPS' with good AI (Like Strike Fighters 2 and COD 4). Shame that Titanfall is MP Only because its my kind of game.

when you get this thing beat, you should check MWO out. These are huge lumbering Mechs... No side stepping is possible and it drives more like a big tank. If you can play AH then MWO should be easy. :)

Ahh no light mechs then? Only heavy mechs like the Madcat series?

There are light Mechs, and they're fast! But only in a straight line kind of way. You have a throttle and can steer the Mech right or left either with wasd or with for example a twisty stick or rudder rocker/pedals. The mouse/joystick controls and aims the torso and arms.
