I don't know how wide spread this is, but an old member of my Mech3 team found this and we have been playing it on occassion.  A tabletop battletech game online.  It's pretty cool.  You play by IP though.  Anyway, there is another program out there that allows you to customize the mechs and add them to the game.  

Just thought I'd share.......and if anyone wants to play...just whistle.

Megamek

The version we are playing is Megamek 0.28.0

We had a kick ass mech 3 team.  Then mech 4 came out. I hate mech 4.  The mechs move like horny librarians.  The game is not missile friendly at all.  Basically it was a typically microsoft game, all glamor and no guts.  

Anyway, for btech, not mechwarrior, this game is the way to go.  It even comes with a map editor.  And Fetty?  We need to have a long talk sometime......

Is this particular metaphor supposed to have some unambiguous interpretation?

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

Sorry Zylon, no unambiguous interpretation.

So were you saying that the MW4 mechs move slowly, or quickly, or randomly, or unexpectedly, or only when they hear a loud noise, or what?

ok, you ever see something and think....that just looks wrong?  You can't explain it, but it does.  take the Shadowcat, for example, it looks.....prissy when it walks.  For lack of a better term, the mechs look like they are afraid to put feet down or something.  Thus, they look wrong.....about as wrong as a horny librarian.  Understand now?
