Here are the videogaming thoughts of some guy who probably should be working right now. I blog sometimes and comment often. I'd like a job involving videogames somehow but I'm not quite there yet, so in the meantime I just try to enjoy life and play a lot of games.

I wish this was me in my free time.

Everywhere else on the internet I go by the name Swift Robot, this includes Xbox Live so add me if ya like.

I has a PS3 now, my fanboy days are over. Woo for equal opportunity :D

GutsDozer, meet the Mad Cat MkII.

Robots, video games, metal, pron, djent, awesomeness and ultraviolence FTW.
I also love me some fighting games too.

I'm also part of a podcast, a very unofficial one. Made by Aussies for Aussie Dtoiders and other Dtoiders who like to listen to Aussie Dtoiders. Check that shit out.

Oh and fire.... fire is good.

ShortBlog: Mechwarrior 4 to be released online for FREE in honor of BattleTech's 25 anniversary
Puppy Licks \| 8:54 PM on 07.09.2009	13 comments

Damn the good news just keeps on coming hey?

Ahhh live actors, a hallmark of a PC Gaming classic.

If you read my previous posts you'll know that I'm a little bit excited about the new MechWarrior announcement. I seem to have a robot problem, obviously.

But a lot of you probably haven't played a real MechWarrior game, thinking that the best the franchise can offer is MechAssault. Well Smith & Tinker seem to be aware of that fact and have offered a free crash course in the school of Big Stompy Robots.

As a tribute to BattleTech's 25th anniversary, Smith And Tinker are offering MechWarrior 4 (including it's expansion packs) for free off BattleTech.com. A precise date hasn't been offered yet but both S&T and BattleTech.com say the download will be available 'soon'.

So if you're hearing people get excited about the new MechWarrior but have no idea what the hubbub is all about, download the game and give it a shot and see what it's like to be in the cockpit of a 90 ton walking death machine*.

Also the game has a BattleMech called 'Awesome', how can you not resist that?

- Cheers to DanMazkin for passing this on.

*Yes yes I know Steel Battalion did it too but what would you rather? A free awesome game or a game that needs a $200+ controller?

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

OMG AWESOME

HOLY SHIT.

I remember playing MechWarrior 2 back in the day CONSTANTLY. This is really good news.

MrSadistic

I have MechWarrior 3 around somewhere. I vaguely remember playing any of the MechWarrior games in my youth though.

Caffeine Knight

How about a free mech game with a free controller valued at 200 dollars? That would be pretty f'in sweet.

Puppy Licks

Touche, Caffeine Knight. Touche.

Danl Haas

Thanks for the heads up. Let us know when the download goes up, yeah?

Keep me posted. I played very little of MW in the past (it came with my computer, and, uh, I had no idea what the fuck I was doing) but free game plus expansions is good. :D

And to add onto my previous post, people at that site have a good point. How's it gonna run on XP/Vista/7? I'm sure they have that ironed out, but not a lot of people are gonna dig a free game they can't use.

Jump jets and Overheating. :)
I actually gave my original copy away to a friend, so this is a godsend.
