Find contentAbout Me
I've been playing BattleTech games since 1997, when my friend introduced me to the universe by dragging me out to a game shop one weekend. I've loved it ever since. Twice a month we'd get together the night before to pick our units (up to 4, 4000bv). He'd have to coach me for the first few months but, once I learned the basics, I was hooked.
Later, my father bought me Mechwarrior 2 for PC, and I fell in love again. I can't even begin to fathom the hours lost in my budding youth to that particular piece of software. Then there was MechCommander 2! GAH
Military service was served, college was attended and when I returned home, I reminisced with the same friend who started it all and thought, "Why hasn't someone coded the TT rules in to a game?" A forum response later, I discovered MegaMek, and began a 8 year relationship with a community that drew me further into not just the lore but the ruleset, and then fan-fiction! GenCon Followed! I critted Randal's Highlander with a stray swarm missle! Even got corrected when, not knowing who he was, I tried to explain how Swarm-i works.
Life once again tore me away from my passion, and intermittently I wondered, "Why is there not enough BattleTech in this universe?" Then, as if to answer my question, MWO appeared, with it's brother, MechWarrior: Tactics.
And I'm freakin' Pumped.
If you played the MegaMek servers, you'll recognize me as Alekzandr/Alekzandr Sukhanov/Rodrigo Diaz. If that seems even remotely familiar, I expect a friends request.
