Thoughts and such: RE - Battletech
🕑 Added 2020-05-09 19:01:09 +0000 UTCOkay, I've decided on my next big 10 with feedback from youse guys, youtube, and so on. I took your input and realized I'd also announced the earlier list a few times, so I sandwiched these lists together:
1. (Part two of Exodus to Elementals) - this one we're doing right now
2. The Mackie and the rise of the Battlemech
3. The Rifleman
4. The Marauder (A lot of requests for this over the time we've done this)
5. The Warhammer (A lot of requests for this again)
6. The Charger Story (haha mech go brrrrt)
7. Wilkommen to the Lyran Commonwealth: A primer on Space Germans (Probably up to the Fedcom Civil War...otherwise it'd be 900 hours long and that conflict requires its own episode..s...and so on)
8. Tonks, one of many
Keep in mind, I may switch these around depending on timetables as Mike is moving, and my work has been uh, hell. So I'll hope to get them out when I get them out. In the last 12 months we managed to get 8 whole episodes out, many of them feature-length so needless to say we work pretty damn hard. I appreciate your guy's kindness, understanding and patience.
Now, once these are "done" I think what I'm going to do is come up with a list that I want to cover and let you guys pick. I think looking at early star league and the beginning of the cycles of destruction and madness could be very interesting. Like the unification wars and first attempts to bring Star League into being. Fascinating stuff, there.
Further, keep in mind, I intend to hold myself to the 90 day plan as previously discussed... Again (I say this a lot) if the amount of content coming out isn't to your liking, please, please please take your money elsewhere or treat yourself to something pleasant.

I have a good reason not to use tanks, heavy fucking woods are better cover and focus fire on the vehicle side arcs. That said have you seen the SRM Carrier, it's scary.
Looking forward to the Mackie episode. Kinda hoping there's enough material in it to justify the existence of big stompy robots, if only so I can link to it to shut down all the armchair-engineers who go "wHy dOn'T yOu jUsT uSe tAnKs" in every bloody comment section about Battletech.

At some point, I hope we get an episode(s) covering the succession wars the chaos of those times. But don't overwork yourself Tex! Looking forward to every episode.
wow.. that is a lot. Definitely did not expect that much on the topic even existing.

The Black Pants Legion does what most major film studios can't and with less people. Looking forward to more of that quality content y'all bring us. When it is ready, if course and not a minute before.

Fuck yeah, high quality battletech content and shitloads of legionnaire stuff mixed in with yours. Where is the downside? I know you work your ass off but I also know it's the only way you keep moving forward.

Looking forward to all of these whenever you get time. Love this series.
THE BLACK PANTS LEGION
It's required a good 30 days of reading so far. I go down a hell of a rabbit hole.
Mackie is going to be a big one, right? I mean, not by length, but concerning the research hours put in, it doesn't seem like a thing that has tons of lore available. It always actually made me wonder how much lore there is about it, aside from a few honorable mentions of being the first of many.
I was going to ask about you doing one of the Macross designs of the Valkyrie and other Battroid designs, half jokingly as how aggressive Harmony Gold USA is with their properties. Given how shit that company is I would not be surprised if they struck anything based on one of the Macross designs.

I did the Atlas as one of my first episodes

Loving the direction everything is going in, especially looking forward to Elementals pt II and the rise of the Battlemech. Would also love to see an ep on the Atlus sometime in the future!

I literally cannot be more excited. Like as a filthy clanner, I am loving the deep dive into the lore but mein gott der Steiners? Ich gern!

Can't wait looking forward to them all!
