Battletech is back!!!

[SirAndrewD]

Working for Battletech marketing and you'd feel like you were off for the rest of your life.

I probably would be after a couple of weeks.

You're a glass half empty type feller, eh?

Again, GAME OF THRONES PLUS VARIOUS SIZES OF WAR ROBOTS!

This even comes through in the computer games occasionally, e.g. the old Crescent Hawk duology and the various storylines of Mechwarrior 4.

Only when the glass is half empty of the whiskey I use the drown my sorrows.

Again, GAME OF THRONES PLUS VARIOUS SIZES OF WAR ROBOTS!

To be fair, Battletech isn't like Game of Thrones, Game of Thrones is like Battletech in a fantasy setting with Dragons.  The Battletech universe did come first.

When my then girlfriend, now wife, started reading the GoT books, she used to go on and on about them to me and suggest I read them.  I constantly told her that I already read that story in the Michael Stackpole Battletech novels, so I would pass.

I watch the heck out of the show though.  Makes me wish there was a Battletech TV series with the same clothing optional rules.

Naked robots?

Giant naked robots

Took a while for this thread to get here but here we are.

[acctingman]

3 pages of hard hitting facts and pertinent information and 5 pages of prepubescent toilet humor

[Gusington]

We will try to improve that ratio.

[mirth]

Indeed, there needs to be a lot more toilet humor.

[Gusington]

Robot poop? Mechanized farts?

[mirth]

Giant flatulating robots.

[bob48]

You missed out 'naked'.

[mirth]

It was implied.

[RyanE]

Giant flatulating robots.

Wasn't that called Transformers.
