Pray that is but the worst of it.

Behold the man-garter.

That's no man-garter. That is the illustrious SPORTSMAN Truss!

E: Actually, what the hell is your "rupture" talking about? I get the feeling that's either euphemism that predates me or something incredibly uncomfortable.

An internet picture of a guy punching Sonic raised my spirits today.

... super punch-out, huh. Maybe my dream of duckhunt dog is not as much of a dream as I thought...

Ah ha. Mixed scale combat on the same map is something I haven't seen very often (though, to be fair, that's mostly because I've never really had a computer capable of running any of the games that do it ). Not something I'd (be able to, natch) play, but sounds like it might be neat if they pull it off.

I will say, though, for a second I thought you were saying it was like Combined Arms, an old(ish) Infantry zone. Now that? If someone brought CA into a modern engine, I would be over that in seconds. CA was glorious.

Not derailing, just saying my piece, the 'titans' in Titanfall can be killed by a lone man carrying small arms, as in handguns and SMGs.  To kill a Battlemech your infantry had better be carrying heavy demolition charges and be prepared to intercept several dozen tons of metal and weapons moving at significant speed.

And a bolo would roll over both of them like they're so many paraplegic squirrels laid out in the middle of a busy highway. Interseries dick waving is best taken to the crossover thread... or spacebattles

Though there is legitimate worry involved with the devs describing BT mechs like that. Says they don't quite grok the concept of tank on legs. Which is a bit of a shame, but hey, the people these days seem to want more of the fairly standardized shooter formula, so...

In all seriousness, armored core was pretty decent and more of its ilk isn't a bad thing. I do prefer my giant mecha with a bit of weight behind them, but good ol' real robots are fine, too. Good excuse to stick more dakka on the player's avatar, hopefully.

... what is it?

Noooo... no fireballs. I got family friends living in that place.

I've not really heard much good from 'er about it, though, so it sucking may continue.
