A Saturday Update

Captain Hazelwood

I'm beginning to think of Van Zandt as a tiny little no step on snek periphery nation and it's making me want to move there. Besides that, hope the trio is doing well at location redacted and enjoying company as often as possible.

THE BLACK PANTS LEGION

It's a re-writing/re-imagining of OD'd in Denver. Lore - it's scattered. On purpose.

Also, where can I find the lore on Van Zandt? I've had Od in Van Zandt stuck in my head this week again and I want to get caught up in it. And is Od in Van Zandt a Warren Zevon mix? I swear I can almost hear another song similar to it.

If the video is late, does this mean I get a discount on my ComStar bill? I have a few long distance calls to a Canopus number that went uh maybe longer than they should've because catgirls. Oh who am I kidding, they were only five minutes.

So all my brain heard was "If enough of you guys support this madness we can buy battletech and have Tex lead us to glory using BT to help people and meme." I might raise my pledge for that. Expand the fandom, run charities, get official meme merch, try to reduce corporate tom foolery....I like it....oh wait a cannon?

Been rewatching your Tex Talks Battletech vids in preparation for the Marauder video, and you mentioned, among other topics, that you might consider doing vids on the successor states/periphery states/specific clans/etc. Are those still on the table, and would you do them individually or in a sweeping primer like the Clans two parter?

I'm a girl who loves Battletech deeply - have since I was a kid. Tex is right about 'few girls' but I think it's growing more and more. Can't wait for the Marauder video - and as hype as I am for the Warhammer, I really want to see what the hell you're gonna do with the Charger! (Would it work to just put the latin translation on the potential charity shirt and leave ComStar off? Let those who know, know...)

I have been thinking recently about an in universe way to retcon the jihad. My thought would be make it a propaganda war put on by a subset of comstar and the comguard. Just some wild stories that the space wizards spread for a time until the great house finally managed to get to all of them. They could even have rim worlds still under their influence and spreading the misinformation to keep it as faction down the line. Those are just my thoughts, what you do?

Would it make more sense for a well off mercenary company to have 3 lances and an ASF squadron or have 4 lances and only two ASF fighters? The main bottleneck I'm running into here is how the two Leopards I have can move all three lances at once and have the ASF follow them in from the Argo. Having 4 lances would require two trips.

Hey Tex, might I suggest you take a look at Phantom Brigade? it is fun but epic exclusive right now.

Montana class, Fuck Yes.

I'm excited for MW5 to come to console. It's been far too long since any mech game was available.

Hey Tex, the quadruped debate rages on and i have to ask why the game features so few quad designs, surely they would be a effective weapons platform with greatly increased stability over the bipeds at the cost of overall speed and maybe weight. Also i assume they dont fit well in a leopard or other types of dropships.
