But hey, thats Bakersfield for you.
Not much going on really. Been painting up my Aerotech fleet and submitting designs to the guys up on CBT to annoy and piss me off. You know, its the same way at CSO too. I generally post my stuff to get ideas and feedback from people. Hey you like my painted crap, awesome. You think it needs improvement? Tell me why. Dont just say 'blah blah blah, not done because the base isnt finished' and give me some helpfull advice.
The Aerotech design guys are too far gone from the whole concept of 'I play the game for fun and I can suspend belife juuuuust long enough to enjoy the game' Its great that they took it this far and came up with some ideas for a game system thats been around about as long as I have been alive, but you know, the ruskies didnt drop the bombs, the world isnt a glowing radioactive wasteland with dudes in hockey masks fighting over gasoline and dog food (as awesome as that would be) so maybe its time to move on a bit and like...enjoy the F-BOMBING game for once? Your playing a game about giant robots in the future who have lightning weapons and magnetic accelerated slugs of metal. Granted the latter is a real peice of equipment the navy is developing at this time, its still a game about a giant godamn robot on an alien world.
Our local Battletech crew are a great bunch. Robert, Todd, John, Opeland, and Lance. Great guys to play a game against but the guys on the CSO boards and CBT ... are so far removed from the game aspect that they can no longer enjoy the game like they used to.
