The Avalanche is this month's Bad 'Mech. It's not really the worst 50-tonner, but neither was it the best. It was especially problematic for the Nova Cats (poor kitties).

I love editing interviews. I feel so vindicated knowing that everyone's mouth will immediately start reciting eight different responses to a single question before their mind has a chance to actually pick one.

I miss the story and slick gunplay, but I don't miss how much that game demanded of my time.

It’s disturbing to me, when I say to otherwise kind, intelligent, aware people, “wow, bad shit is happening”, and they reply to me, “Oh you have to not watch the news. Don’t read the papers! Just don’t think about it.”

And NO that is a TERRIBLE answer. That’s exactly how we got here to begin with.

I caught a cold. Also, it's time for BattleTech news. *sneezes*

Yes, I censored the feature art, but that's just because Google gets upset with you otherwise.

Also, whoever Todd Cox is, they wrote the best depiction of BattleTech aerospace combat I've ever read. Atmosphere is for high-G turns, Fox-3s, and terrain masking, but space combat is all just fuckin' math.

This feeling seems appropriate. I don't think the gay jews in Poland did well under German occupation, either.

This month's Bad 'Mech is the Rakshasa! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but the Rakshasa isn't half the 'Mech it aspires to be.

Bad ‘Mechs – Rakshasa | Sarna.net

In a sea of Mad Cats, one 'Mech truly stands out. Mostly because the Rakshasa is so bad that few would confuse it for a Mad Cat.
