Spell check ?

I'm guessing he was referring to "the history of the black widow company and her Commander..." Could also be referring to "some of the scenario's included" although that's terribly minor. Couldn't find anything else, myself...

Whelp, I threw down money for a preorder... I'll tack on the Legend Killer at a later date... For now, I just wanted to make sure I got all the fluffy stuff

I'll see if I actually like the base Rifleman before considering upgrading to the Collector's pack, though. I think I'll mostly be using the Legend Killer.

Two Marauders, Legend Killer, and a Cicada sound like a pretty good CW drop deck :3

Broke down at the 116th hour and grabbed it. I was really on the fence about this one. I decided I disnt have a solid ballistic platform mech since I never got the jager. I am concerned at the 60 tons as well but I figure the extras for preordering would be worth the 20 Even if the Rifleman doesn't pan out.

Sadly no Shotgun re-balance, so far dual shotguns fare worse than a single AC20, so the hero mech will be kind of instant re-equip unless you just wanna troll, but the amount of shots it takes to drop even a light mech with a shotgun is ridiculous

Never mind. Calendar's broken. Just excited!

What's the odds we get the Rifleman on the 12th instead of the 16th so I can take advantage of that three-day weekend? I know, I know: "It rhymes with 'hero'"

Did they not have spellcheck in the 80s?

Are you kidding? Personal Computer were very limited back in 1985...

No kidding - the monster machine I ran the first Mechwarrior was a Commodore 64/128. In case you're wondering, it had a "turbo" button on the front to switch it between 64 and 128. What did the 64 and 128 stand for? KB.

KILOBYTES.

You probably have more memory running in your wireless mouse.

Yeah, they were called "editors". Most likely no one caught the mistakes until after it was sent to the printer and by then it would have been too expensive to reprint the books. This was back when local printers / graphics companies in the US made tons of money before most of that business was outsourced to China.

Are you calling my Commodore 64 Limited? I take offense at such slanderous remarks! 1985 computer tech is best computer tech!
