    My favorite part of the article is this line here: Except that the books that Game of Thrones is based on were written in that "past age". The first Game of Thrones book was released in 1996, back in the dark ages of social justice movements etc. Just one more journalist seeing what they want...

    I don't know about 6-5, this isn't like the semi-finals where the teams know they'll have a second chance to correct things if they lose the first game. And based on previous observation of Real in CL games and how referees treat them, I'd be pretty surprised if Real gets a red at any point ;)

    And I would counter that the Premier League has better quality top to bottom and Real conceded more in La Liga. Either way, I'm pretty sure we won't have a 0-0 here.

    Also from the same BBC article that I quoted earlier is this paragraph: So Liverpool are tied for the most clean sheets in the Champions League this year, and they conceded fewer than Real did in their respective leagues this year. I´m not saying Liverpool are a stellar defensive team, but the...

    I think you´re overrating Madrid´s defence, see this quote from a BBC article today: However, I do agree that Madrid has more quality in their side overall. I really feel that anything could happen in this final though, both teams have players that can just take over a game if they´re playing...

    Yeah, it all depends on how much stability damage you can do in one volley. My LRM boat fires 65 missiles per volley, more than enough to max out the stability bar on a non-braced mech so I run purely +dmg mods on the LRMs. No point overdoing it on the stability when you can hit harder and still...

    I´ve noticed you can really fuck with the vehicle AI when there is a cliff or some other obstacle that the vehicles cant drive over. Had a mission with a couple of those 2x AC 20 tanks and I just played rope-a-dope with them. They were on a cliff above me and one of my mechs was in range to be...

    As a Jays fan I'm getting PTSD. Seeing the Red Sox and Yankees over .600 brings back all the post Robbie Alomar/Joe Carter days of the mid 90s/2000s when you just knew you werent going to the playoffs with those two teams in your division. Meanwhile, the Indians are first place at 17-17. GD AL East.

    Some of you might remember me posting a few weeks back that my local team was in position to win their first title in 32 years. Well we did it! Scored the go ahead goal in the 87th minute that let us beat Luzern to take the title and clinch at home. Everyone stormed the pitch after the game but...

    Yeah I can't stand Grimmz, all that guy does is whine. I tuned in for a couple minutes and he was playing Ring of Elysium or something, some newish battle royale game. One guy subbed and asked him which weapon was best with his sub text and Grimmz said "whatever weapon works best in lag because...

    I disagree with your ideal lance buildout. When you run 5 skull missions and have to kill 8+ assault mechs even one fully tanky king crab will get whittled down. I've been running one full on tank King Crab, two Atlas with jump jets who help out with the damage by evasion tanking (can get 4...

    I have my Gauss in an Atlas I salvaged from a mission, it fits pretty nicely there too. The ballistic slot on the atlas is right torso so the Gauss is better protected than in the arm of a highlander, 210 armor vs 150 and more structure as well. Must protect my precious precious cannon. That...

    Has anyone found a better chassis for a LRM boat than the 4 missile hardpoint Highlander? I want to see how absurd they can get. I had this fitted with an LRM 10 in the place of the 5 but it just ran too hot. Could only fire two full salvos before redlining and then could only sustain 30 per...

    The 60 ton heavies (Quickdraw, Dragon) just arent worth it over the 55 ton mediums. Youre better off with a Shadow Hawk or Griffin or even a catapult if youre building a LRM boat. There was also an interview in PC Gamer with the lead devs from the game, link here for those interested Battletech...

    If you know about Madcats then you know how truly limited the mech lineup is in this game so far. I think they started with such a limited lineup and in 3025 for a reason, so that subsequent expansions/DLCs (it is Paradox after all) can introduce all the goodies like Madcats like you're hoping...

    Yeah I havent played a game non-stop like this in a long time. My favorite title to come out in the past couple years. I will agree however, it needs some polish and a bit of other love to be truly great.

    I dont know how far along many of you are in the story missions, but keep going up until you get to three skull missions if you can handle it. I won't spolier it but trust me, the reward is worth it. I just roll straight salvage now. You can make a lot more money just selling back the mechs you...

    3.5 Skull and up you'll start running into the frames large enough to mount LRM 20s to. I got lucky and took out the stalker pilot with injuries so I got the entire mech in one 4 skull mission, its also the only stalker I've ever seen. 50 LRMs raining down sounds like Chinese New Year in my...

    I figure if it gets cored might as well go out in a blaze of glory! It rarely gets shot at as I keep it out of harms way, just lobbing his 40 lrms per turn, but maybe I should move the ammo around a bit. @Sludig, Im not a huge fan of the Cicada, I usually don't like mechs at the bottom of their...

    Not doing enough damage. I think Im just trying to have my cake and eat it too. I want it to be my tankiest mech but I also want it to do damage. I think Im just asking too much. Edit: Ok fixed the damage issues. Dropped the A/C 10 for 3xSRM6 and its a lot better. I think the tonnage on some of...

    I havent been super impressed with my Orion so far to be honest. I think I may need to respec it. Currently got my bulwark pilot in it, and I fitted it with jump jets, max armor, and 2 M Laser, 1 L Laser and an A/C 10. I think my build kinda sucks, would be open to suggestions.

    I spec´d out my Kintaro as a LRM boat with jump jets and lots of armor. Managed to still fit 2xLRM5 and a LRM 15 on it. I´m considering dropping the armor a bit to try and cram some more missiles onto it but I´m not sure that´s a great idea. It seems the AI gets a hard on for certain targets at...

    Well, I must say I´m overall very happy with this game. It could for sure use some cleaning up with zoom animations, some hitching when the damage calculations are being performed, and the UI could be a lot better. That being said, I´m having a blast and haven´t played a game for as many...

    No way to tell enemy pilot health. If you want to be knocking mechs down, build something with lots of missiles as they do the most stability damage. I stripped the Shadowhawk's base load out and fit it with 2xSRM6++ and an SRM4+ and a medium laser. The SRM6++ do 60 damage per volley and also...

    The graphics aren't the best thing ever true, but it can look pretty nice at times. The night missions with the spotlights on the mechs can look pretty cool for example. Then again, it's also a strategy game, I don't need it look as nice as the new God of War or something. As long as I can put...
