O_o

Seeing this reminds me of an old station wagon a friend used to have that had the same wood paneling along both sides. We called it 'Puff the Tragic Wagon' which is rather... ominious... all things considered.

WAIT! OMG!

THIS MEANS WE'LL BE ABLE TO BUY FAKE WOODGRAIN PANELS FOR OUR 'MECHS!!!

Wait a sec, OH, MY, GOD, ITS SO BEAUTIFUL, MY WARHAMMER IS SO BEAUTIFUL, *sees security team outside house*. Oh Christ, here comes the Fuzz, and, oh hey Paul whats up--*smack, thump*

I can just see someone poking their head in an art direction meeting and saying "we need a cockpit animation during startup that has the player taking out a module, blowing on the end, and then putting it back in."

This makes me want a Mechwarrior themed Oregon Trail mod...

And I thought I'd have been looked at askance-wise for putting MW2 Mercs as the bar that I'd be overly happy if MWO simply met. 'It doesn't even need to have better graphics!' I thought. Now I want MWAtari. I just hope those Locusts don't come creeping up all deceptively fast like they did in the first Mechwarrior. Then again, Locusts are quick as balls, so that's just realism and I should have been faster with the PPCs...

Changing subject, do you think flamers do extra damage against mechs with wood paneling? I should think even more still if it's made with fake wood paneling Lostech from an old Star League museum featuring things found in daily life in the 1970s. My Firestarter sprays DDT! I want shag carpet on my command seat and fuzzy dice in my cockpit now.

The ideas that we come up with before a game is released usually turns out to be nothing like the actual thing but its all part of the fun.

One idea I want in it is something similiar to Startrek Online Doff System but maybe with a support crew. You know, a team responsible for maintaining your Mech collection, your base defenses when you have one if we have one and even the level of Intel we get.

I'm so jealous of your ball chair! Who needs a neuro helmet? Just put the hookups in that thing! I'll have a hundred-spoke Dayton knockoff worn on a gold chain as a pendant on my mech and my joysticks will be original pistol grip mopar shifters. Who cares if they're both right handed?

The real question is if get Hula Girl physics working, will they work to include Disco Ball physics and Shag Carpet modeling for our Mechs..?
