Your drinks are off topical!

*Falls down*

The large monitor is also playing in window mode, which makes me sad (hopefully it just had a crappy gfx card and could run the game full screen).

Cause now I'm (again) debating 2 smallish monitors or 1 honking big one for this game.

Then there are all the microbrews out there.. like Highland Brewing Company, Old Dominion Brewing, Legend Brewery, Abita, and those are just a few I favor


Old Dominion Brewing, this is a watering hole I used to frequent when I lived up in Northern Virginia. I used to consume their "Scotch Ale" drawn from a hand pump at room termperature. Very tastey. And the "lace curtain" pattern on the glass when you were finished was unmistakable.

Ahh the good ole days :D

I wonder ... could we get a mini keg inside the Mech cockpit?!

:blink:

Stop posting about drinks, it is off-topic and has no real meaning. Also, the fact our neighbour state has the biggest beer consumption on the whole world can say a lot about the fact it is really off-topic even for someone with a bit of interest to those things. :blink:


I have to disagree.. I mean there are Beer Bottles in the picture..

Because we seem to be discussing anything in the picture.. or is happening at the F&F Beta.. (including Matts "Hand Gesture"..)

THUS its On topic.. :D

Well in any case.. I am on my LAST 6 pack of Legend Octoberfest.. at least until September... It's truly a sad day here

Also, it has 5 weapons, two of which are destroyed as it seems. Chat screen is also easily seen. :D
And at the top of the cockpit, you can see something resembling a sticky picture, but I am not 100% sure.

Could you make the same with the screens with mechlab/ menu on them, or are they too small to see anything? :blink:

Tried the best I could with the limited time I had today with these two monitor feeds.

WOW! That mechlab looks amazing! :blink:

Also, we get to choose mechs as in WoT from their "cards". At the top of the screen, some quick menu map is easily distinquishable, so mechlab is not the only place we will spend while waiting for the battle. On the upper left corner, there is something resembling balnce of credits and in the upper right corner, their own version of "Play" button is situated probably. :D

Thank you very much, Long Draw. :blink:

Was that directed at the developers or to my limited skill in graphic editting?

Hey!
I'll find a way to be able to walk to your office... :D

But seriously, nice to know you are on the brink of beta. Can't wait!
I have waited for a new MechWarrior game for, oh, since MW Mercs (which I occasionally still play, btw).

It's all very exciting this talk about Beta. It seems like a billion years have past, watching everyday since the MechWarrior 3015 video, and then following Bryans blog for any tiny bit of hope that we still might get a MechWarrior game afterwards. Now here we are. Thanks to PGI for keeping the MechWarrior dream alive, it means a lot of us MechWarrior / Battletech fans.

Well said John Clavell ! It really is a dream coming true right before our eyes. Thank you PGI for all of your efforts and for the wisdom to choose a state-of-the-art engine like CryENGINE3. This game, I am sure, will be breathtaking and played for many years.

Hailz all MechWarriors !!!

<S>

Be careful when poking we Canadians with sticks!!

We may argue and fight amoung ourselves but when united behind beer we are a force to be reckoned with. Just look what we did to Vancouver, British Columbia downtown area as well as London, Ontario

This was a Public Service Announcement brought to you by the Grimm Canadian Federation of Awesomeness and Beer
