2024-12-12 05:54:37 +0000 UTCSo, I was re-watching the Battletech 2018 Scrombles play through as I do while painting between the Christmas dump vids, and the question about what battle music would you ride in with blaring? and it finally came to me after several years. I know what my battle music would be as a merc. on a PA. I am sorry in advanced, Enjoy~ and merry seasons cheer from Colorado! (save the voice if you wish, maybe hum along.) "They threw my a-- in the cell, What I did I'll never tell I looked at you with a tell then we broke out and away traded my soul for some cash C bills and drinks for a chance- I wasn't looking for hell But now they're in my way Your jump jets were burnin' Hot metal, shrapnel flyin' Myomer strands a-wavin'- Where you think you're going, Cappy?! Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, But here's my lasers, and AC20 It's hard to aim right- At you, Cappy! But here's my lasers, and AC20 Wait, I just shot you! and you're still running! So have more lasers, and AC-20 And all the other scouts try to chase me They ammo crit me?! So eject mayb- *explodes* I'm sorry.... but also not. Battle tech Parody #786 and counting.... . Why is my brain like this xD

2024-12-11 18:53:37 +0000 UTC[Save Voice as Desired] So the Noble Knight Urbie Derbie went well. We had eight combatants, five of which used custom builds. One of them was me throwing a PPC capacitor on a UM-R90. Another interesting variant used a RISC Hyper Laser, which proceeded to blow up on them in turn 3. To sum up without going into further detail, I came in second for combat and first in painting. Good times were had by all.

2024-12-10 23:02:46 +0000 UTCLoving the dump, as always pass my appreciation on to the team. A battletech question for this week. How would you, if you were a staunch clanner crusader, have won the invasion of the sphere? Besides saying "let not do this" was there a way the Clans could have won? Bringing all the Clans to participate or what would be IlKhan (ugh) Tex strategy to conquer Terra? Keep swinging one punch at a time.

2024-12-10 11:53:14 +0000 UTCWith regard to your next door neighbor have you considered writing “Build it and they will come” on his lawn with Miracle Gro so the message gradually appears on his lawn over the next month so as the grass turns greener? It might be interesting to see what he builds.

2024-12-06 12:59:06 +0000 UTCHello Mr.Tex Please read this in your best Elmo impression. Seriously though do whatever is best for you. I have a question after viewing the latest horror ya'll graced our eyeballs with in the MRE video. Do you worry about the any long term damage to your stomach noodles from so many questionably safe to eat MREs? I have to wonder due to all the medical records I go through each week. I'm not a doctor so I have no idea if that "food" could cause long term damage but it seems like something I would want to look into. Merry Christmas! Looking forward to the dump

2024-12-05 19:53:49 +0000 UTCHey Mr. Tex, Just watched the Beef Stew MRE video, which immediately gave me flashbacks. That was actually one of my favorite MRE’s, before the “beef” patty MRE came out. Protip: Most MRE’s are much more palatable when some of the packets are combined. Crush up the crackers and add to the beef stew, add half a pack of jalapeno cheese spread, and the full bottle of tabasco. Greatly improved the taste, just don’t look at it while eating. Going to go check out the Dump videos. Thanks for adding cool shit to the internet, and merry Christmas.

2024-12-05 17:22:17 +0000 UTCBoss dude, sorry haven't been around. Dropped about 30 pounds, cut the A1C from 12 to 6. Short Japanese Ladies wearing Kendo armor with bamboo weapons have been beating the crap out of me two days a week. If I do not get a chance to swing by, Merry Christmas to you, the BPL, and the Aux.

2024-12-05 13:12:56 +0000 UTCHey Tex ! Consider your voice. I have a few questions. First regarding big magnum revolvers. Hearing somebody and their unpleasant relationship with their Colt Anaconda's recoil, would something like a Ruger Blackhawk and the Colt SAA style grip be more useful ? The curved shape might allow you to let the gun swing up and let some of that recoil bleed away rather than into your hand or is that a bad idea somehow ? Second : you get to pick a firearm, today's choices are between a Baker Rifle or a Whitworth rifle. I'm glad to hear the dump charity run is going well. First rate entertainment and making the world a batter place at the same time.

2024-12-05 09:40:59 +0000 UTC[Safe Voice Activate] Gotta say, I had a bit of a schoolgirl giggle when you read my comment. Sorry, I know adoration gives you the heebee jeebees, but damn if it didn't put a smile on my face in these difficult times. The Christmas dump is totally smashing thus far, and I'm glad we're already off to a glorious start. I can't wait to see what other wacky shenanigans you fine folks have in store. Question: What is your personal/professional opinion on firearms that are intended to take multiple calibers of ammunition? There are seemingly very few examples of these on the market, but there always seems to be somebody trying to make it a thing every few years. Best Wishes

2024-12-05 09:28:19 +0000 UTCHi Tex, I am enjoying the dump so far. I'm building a IIC themed clan list for the Swayback HBK-C with the 6 heavy lasers I posted a few weeks ago and am hoping to get a battle report with it soon. I'm running it with a modified Marauder IIC that takes the base model and add jump jets and more armor to it and some Locust IIC 3s for support. Hopefully it performs well. While I'm waiting for a worthy challenger, I spent some time coming up with yet another Charger variant the 1A9F. It is exactly a stock charger in every way with 5/8 movement and 5 small lasers. However I took inspiration from the saying "when pigs fly" except the pigs are Chargers equipped with 8 Improved Jumpjets and a TSM Hatchet. It remains to be seen if the F stands for Flyer or Failure. What do you think about the viability of a charger capable of dynamic entry? ``` Charger CGR-1A9F Base Tech Level: Standard (IS) Level Era -------------------------------------- Experimental 3067 (Civil War) Advanced 3068-3071 (Jihad) Standard 3072+ (Jihad -) Tech Rating: E/X-X-E-D Weight: 80 tons BV: 1,512 Cost: 26,699,370 C-bills Source: TRO: 3039 Role: Skirmisher Movement: 5/8/8 Engine: 400 XL Heat Sinks: 10 Cockpit: Standard Cockpit Gyro: XL Gyro Internal: 122 Armor: 232/247 (Standard) Internal Armor ---------------------------------------- Head 3 9 Center Torso 25 36 Center Torso (rear) 11 Right Torso 17 26 Right Torso (rear) 7 Left Torso 17 26 Left Torso (rear) 7 Right Arm 13 24 Left Arm 13 24 Right Leg 17 31 Left Leg 17 31 Weapons Loc Heat -------------------------------- Small Laser LA 1 Small Laser LA 1 Small Laser LA 1 Small Laser LA 1 Small Laser HD 1 Equipment Loc ----------------------------- ECM Suite (Guardian) RL Hatchet RA Triple Strength Myomer RT Triple Strength Myomer LT Triple Strength Myomer RA Triple Strength Myomer RA Triple Strength Myomer LL Triple Strength Myomer LL ```

2024-12-05 03:31:57 +0000 UTCFound Robot Jox too late to appreciate it. Did rent the VHS of Robot Wars back when. It was fine. Box art made the movie look cooler than it was. Robot Man VS Robot Scorpion? Amazing. Shame the movie wasn't. Anyways. Glad to hear the Chrimbus dump doing well so far. Wish I could listen to it well during work but they are not . . . . well they don't spark joy. Anyways gonna wish you and the BeeplePeople the best and going personally continue onwards because plot reasons. Have the Merry Holidays.

2024-12-05 02:43:07 +0000 UTC(Feel free to save voice) I vaguely remember robot Jox. I need to find it again. First time for me about the Christmas dump so excited to see what it’s all about. Question: Just saw the option for space station 14 in the aux, but a bit nervous about jumping in as I’ve never played before. Any tips? Thanks again for many many laughs on your podcast (looking forward to the magistratum mundanus segment) and Arcanum trash panda playthrough I’ll catch up eventually. The xenonauts play through sounds epic!

2024-12-05 01:45:59 +0000 UTCSince we're talking about Goat songs, I will ask for a Canopus cover of House of the Rising Sun Edit: Discount Dan should totally do a pastiche/cover of the F You Baltimore meme.

2024-12-05 00:25:36 +0000 UTCSo, y'all are reviewing MRE's for the Christmas dump. Let's turn up the stupid and get a little fucked up. For charity. I would be most curious if you and the crew would replicate and review the fictional PPC & Light PPC beverage and see just how unpalatable it is or is not. Booze On The Rocks did a video on it but I'd love to hear you and the crew's take on this incredibly volatile cocktail. Link to his video for reference here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxmb4FVN86s&ab_channel=BoozeOnTheRocks For charity. Save voice from this point onwards. Here's the recipe for the PPC for those who don't want to go looking. 4 shots of grain alcohol & any of the following depending on your affiliation (per Sarna): Steiner (2 shots peppermint schnapps) Davion (2 shots bourbon) Marik (2 shots ouzo) Capellan (2 shots fruit wine/plum wine) Kurita (2 shots sake) Canopus (2 shots cherry brandy) Periphery (grain alcohol straight up) Add food coloring to match house colors. Shake & strain over ice. The light PPC is as follows: 1 oz Blue Curacao 2 oz Vodka (citrus) if none 2 oz vodka + half Lemon 1 oz silver Tequila 7up/sprite to TOP shake/strain rocks glass ice
