Slightly older, a couple years I think, but one of the few where I'm not shooting a middle finger ;P

Well everyone has such nice pictures. Here is one I just took on my web cam at 1:50 am CDT. I wish I looked as good as I did 20 years ago. Hell, I would be happy if I just had the hair I did 20 years ago.


Yeah, I hear you. Lots of young people here, but that's to be expected, so nice to see another slightly older gamer here. :)

And you can have my hair, lol. If only that were possible. Even though I've aged in every other aspect, I still have my hair. Odd since I'd have no problems shaving down to a cue ball if I ever started to go bald.

HEY! I'm 26. There's not a lot of years in my life, but a lot of life in my years. I've been playing Battletech ever since I realized waking up at 6 in the morning meant catching the animated series. I had all the toys, then graduated to the figurines and video games. I'd be what's known as a "lifer".

But you missed the awesome feeling of seeing a new FASA product release for Battletech, snatching it up at your local hobby store (no Internet buying then), and then bringing it to game night with your friends and having them drool all over it. ;)

I know that feeling. I was 9 or 10 and I spent my allowance on minis and map packs. It was a deep cut when FASA went under and sold the rights to Wizkids. MW:Dark Age was a kick in the sternum.

If you're 26 now then you weren't even born yet when Battletech was released, and way too young when the following box and book releases came in the late 80s. ;) So you didn't get to know the feeling of enjoying Battletech releases on the cutting edge at the time. But hey, at least you can enjoy MWO on the cutting edge today! :)

Reading is one thing I'm good at. I read Jurassic Park when I was in 7th grade. Language comprehension is my strong suit. The internet (still brand new in 1995) let me find what wasn't available at the hobby shop (mine was called Pilands, its out of business now) because in small town USA they stocked Magic cards and comics. Everything BT oriented had to be catalog ordered, from novels to minis to technical readouts. Decision at Thunder Rift was the first book I read, and I was instantly hooked. Granted when I read it, the Twilight of the Clans series was being released, but I caught up quick ;) Imagine my excitement when Mechwarrior 2 was released on PC and Playstation.

That was an awesome release. MW2 and MW3 really revitalized it for me. Before that, BT Crescent Hawk Inception's was the original spark to move from tabletop to the PC.

Haha I remember Mechwarrior 3050 on SNES and thought it was the greatest game of all time, up there with Zelda and TMNT: Turtles in Time.

lol, you caught me. I awaken but every 10 years to mash on some MW, and only return to my slumber after I've sated my need for mech destruction.

Imagine what the unmitigated success of this game will bring in another decade's time. MW 3050 WAS the bomb back then, and this is the bomb, soon, so what will this lead to, later?
