Or do we take that knowledge from the shower to mechwarrior?
Showerwarriors unite?

Does that then make it such that baths are to showers as hawken is to mwo? :huh:

You seriously contemplate getting a vanity plate of your favorite mech chassis and wondering if anyone would recognize it

You wake up in the morning, and "Reactor Online, Sensors Online, Weapon systems Online, Breakfast Omnomnomible" runs through your head.

You got kicked in the nether region (as a guy) and screamed "Critical Hit; Internal Ammo Explosion detected".

... I'll see myself out the door.

I used to mimic walking around like a mech in my early years. Always the Summoner or Timberwolf. I'd make my hands fists and bend my arms just like the mechs. I'd hulk around dropping my shoulders and arms with each step. Making "bksh bksh bksh" sound effects when I walked around. "Shhw shww shww shhw" for missiles. "Pkschew" for lasers.

I'd constantly run the intro for MW2 through my mind, pretending I'm the Timberwolf with the ETA of 34seconds...

And then I'd trump around firing imaginary everything at imaginary novas and mad dogs... I was in my prime. Over 2000 kills, and not even a single death. My mech would always have atleast one weapon left and juuuuust before I miiiiiight be about to die, I score that wicked awesome head shot, or critical hit that sends the other mech to the moon.

Peasants.

A true mechwarrior never turns their head, ever - only their torso.

When you (worse, your spouse) catch yourself randomly making pulse laser sounds. -_-

You think MW stands for Mechwarrior and not Modern Warfare.

Your three year old knows Spiders, Locusts, cicadas, urbies, shadowhawks, and commandos by sight and is begging you to buy a stalker that he can drive around in the testing grounds.

When you get into your car and press the buttons to turn your AC and radio on, and put you car in gear, but in your head you are really turning your weapons and sensors online and getting all of them driving systems nominal.

Naah man, Back when I was in college, playing tons of MW4:Mercs with the leagues, I would fall asleep and DREAM I was fighting mech battles.

I once woke up, with my hands in my HOTAS position...

When you go out with an umbrella because it's raining, and you start to wonder "How long will it lurm...."

When you drive your car, flashing lights as lezors...
