Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



if you haven't gotten the computer game yet it's steeply discounted on a steam sale and really fun you get to run your own merc lance and hire pilots and do contracts and uncover lostech and poo poo

Also more Mechwarrior 5 DLC dropped with barely a whimper of hype.

Sounds like it needs an AI patch as supposed FFAs still focus only on the player.

I'm hoping they come out with a complete edition around Christmas before I'll pick this up.

What do you think would be the most interesting events left? Hunting Hendrik Grimm? Guest lecturing the Nagelring with Victor and the next gen? Party time on Canopus, oh no it's the Andurien Secession?

Lemme play as Adam Steiner going through the fictionalized events of the Clan Invasion, complete with glaring historical inaccuracies and stilted Saturday-morning-cartoon dialogue

Also whenever you're on the field all the mechs are made out of a dozen polygons and have N64-level texture resolutions

I'm gonna go with adding a business management sim angle to it, but the only company you can run is Team Banzai.

April Fool's release had Clan Spaniel, which they obviously had far too much fun making given it has entirely too much effort put into it for a $1.99 joke. I am particularly fond of the symbols for the "evil Monkey Tribes" of the Inner Sphere, especially the Liao one:

Fair enough, though I thought the same of The Mighty Ducks cartoon, and The Bots Master.
