Re: question about various parts attached on Nouvel GM III

Perhaps those attachments on the knees could be the supplemental reactors developed in the RX-78-2. Where it takes the excess heat from the reactor to run turbines for extra power. o-o;

Happy to see a thread like this exists. I've had this image a while, can't even remember where I found it. But I'm interested in finding out where it's from.

Re: Ep. 172 - The War Boys of Gundam

Great episode! I am equally enjoying Iron Blooded Bros. I wholeheartedly agree that it is so much better without beam weapons. It's a breath of fresh air in Gundam these days. Too many crazy designs with a horde of beam weapons and other bright lights. It's nice to see a mecha show go back to basics...

Re: Ep. 163 - Deep in the Heart of Texas

Awww. I was hoping at least one of you played a Mechwarrior game. There was four Mechwarrior FPS games on PC and 2 Mechcommander strategy games. I think they even had a game based on the franchise on the SNES. They didn't lift the designs. They paid for them. But copyright legalese ensued and HG end...

Urbanmech day!

Beef does a video showing off the release of the Urbanmech. A mech that by most accounts was considered a joke mech. But people claim to be much more.

Re: Mechwarrior Online

Actually I did look through the pages and found it on the sixth page. That's when I decided to make my own thread. I just really don't see the reason for the hatred. They tried to make a scifi title, when scifi titles are really popular, that's a smart business strategy. Like the legion of zombie/su...

Re: Mechwarrior Online

People take issue with the gold mech skins and their price because PGI asking those kinds of prices for that kind of thing shows that the only thing they care about is lining their own pockets. They don't care about making a game that lives up to the quality of previous titles in the franchise, the...

Re: Mechwarrior Online

$500 gold mechs that you hardly ever see in game. And it wasn't just $500 dollars for one mech. You got the whole pack if you bought it. It was purely a superficial thing. I don't know why people take issue with that. I doubt they made all that much money. I honestly think whoever bought it is so as...

Re: Mechwarrior Online

There doesn't seem to be much interest in Mechwarrior amongst the members of this forum from what I've seen. Back in the day I advertised Mechwarrior Living Legends and even bought several copies of Crysis Wars to give away to anybody who was interested. I think I only ended up giving only a single...

Mechwarrior Online

Hello. I've been playing Mechwarrior Online since late Closed Beta. The game officially launched last year. I thought I might try to drum up some interest for it in these forums. Though I know there's a bit of a divide between anime mecha fans and battletech fans, at least in some circles. But I thi...

Re: Ep. 157 - The Tryhards Halftime Report!

Another great episode. Try really starts to feel like I'm watching Dragonball Z. Including the "This isn't my final form" trope. As well as the writing trap of constantly needing to one up the power level of the last antagonist with crazier powers. Probably will finish the season. But I wa...

Re: Ep. 156 - Into the Under Nut

GUNDAMN! YAY! :D Sorry to hear Chris got the cold. I think the three of you have a real good synergy together. Agree Mask possibly being driven crazy by his actual mask. From the way they describe it. It sounds like the explanation for the Bio-Computer from the F91. It's almost like the mask has ove...

Hadn't thought of that. xD

Somehow I can imagine some burly tech guy who ate too many burritos at lunch using a mobile suit when he can't make it to the restroom.

The trinity is back! Nothing against Neo and Soulbro. But Chris brings balance to the force that is Gundamn. Amusing observations as usual. I too had the freak out in my head of "Close the cockpit!" But the amount of times the G-Self switches hands in only four episodes. They're so cavalie...

Re: G Gundam is 20 years old today.

Yeah. They should release some new model kits. Especially the Tequilla Gundam. Even if it is totally racist or a bad stereotype. It still somehow looks kinda badass. Then again, the only Gundams that weren't made into stereotypes are Japan's Gundams.

Good work guys. Started a rather annoying day of work. Soon as you opened with ripping on Soulbro's muppet hate. I knew it wasn't going to be a bad day. Keep up the good work fellas. I appreciate your efforts to entertain.

Re: Dom's chest beam gun

Check out 08th MS team Shuddering Mountain for a very clear use of the Dom's scattering beam. It literally looks like multiple streaks of beams in every direction.

Re: Ep. 138 - The Meatbun Chronicles!

I wasn't a fan of the baseball thing. Anyone remember that episode of Family Guy where they drop the money over a football game. Then Madden starts shouting "They're ruining a perfectly good game of football!"

Just replace Football with mecha battle. That's pretty much why I didn't like it.
