2020-10-24 14:55:47 +0000 UTCI think a transcript of the longer lore videos would be pretty good reads. I enjoyed watching them.

2020-10-21 04:55:57 +0000 UTCHow long until we can have you sign copies of that book for us? Not joking, I'd love that. Huge congrats on being a permanent part of the universe, your work has been a huge boon for the Battletech community. Proud of you dude, just keep being you. <3

2020-10-21 00:48:30 +0000 UTCThanks mate thatβs great on going dry itβs hard been there. As someone still new to the universe I find the lore outstanding canβt wait to watch the rifleman. Stay strong mate and thanks again
2020-10-21 00:28:09 +0000 UTCGood work on the 11 days so far Tex! Keep it up! I was so happy for you when I saw the community announcement this morning. It made me doubly so that Battletech is a franchise that recognizes the love of it's fans unlike so many franchises today who spit on them. An hour for the Rifleman? I was expecting more like 30-40 minutes but if you want to do an hour I will happily consume it. The end part making me tear up ya big lug. Stay safe. Stay Dry. and Hail Cargonia.

2020-10-20 23:13:01 +0000 UTCI love what you do, the stories you tell, the history of a game you love. I am looking forward to your perspective on "The Day of Rage" when a Warhammer and Archon stomped on her heir's kidnapper. The depth of the lore, the stories to be told. I look forward to when you do the houses, and the mechs that they throw into a meat grinder. I love this. Congratulations on being sober and taking care of your mental health. I have come close to suicide several times in the past two weeks after the loss of my mom and my own mental illness. Stay strong Tex.

2020-10-20 16:22:46 +0000 UTCMaybe... just maybe it is one of those where clanners take a beating. While in the background an audible chuckle of Randolph. P. Checkers is being heard.

2020-10-20 15:07:26 +0000 UTCCelebrations are in order for this wondrous canonization. Seriously, this is as great being recognized from an IP with a ravenous fanbase which arguably is what had kept it going for all these years, despite some...hiccups. And good job on the sobriety. That shit's hard from personal experience.

2020-10-20 14:53:28 +0000 UTC1 - Conrats on being canon! That's REALLY cool. 2 - I'm even more lost. 3 - Seriously looking forward to the Rifleman. I've always thought it was a cool 'mech (who doesn't like strapping a bunch of ACs to a 'mech?) that never really seemed to fit as well in most of the (PC) games as it should. 4/5 - Looking forward to Scrombles in BT as well. You take care. FWIW, I feel like I should at least comment here to show I do listen to (and enjoy) this - you put effort into it, which is really cool. Thanks again. Hail Cargonia

2020-10-20 14:33:24 +0000 UTCCongrats on 11 days! And a big congrats on making it into the novels! Keep up the good work and keep being true to yourself. Can't wait until the next update. These audio updates feel like listening to an old friend, catching up on events.

2020-10-20 14:31:15 +0000 UTCSpends thousands of hours in making awesome educational video about the fandom. Fandom adds said person to the cannon..... Seems appropriate to me. Congrats.
2020-10-20 14:28:45 +0000 UTCLooking forward to the Rifleman video. I really enjoy these deep dives into the lore of Battletech, getting more context for WHY things are the way they are. The Homeworld 2 playthrough sounds interesting, I am curious if you ran into issues with the scaling difficulty system. Also, your reasoning for why you do what you do is why I am more than happy to give you some money. I see it as an equitable exchange, I support you with some cash and get extremely good entertainment. Better value than most streaming services from my point of view.

2020-10-20 14:28:25 +0000 UTCTex Talks Battletech is how I rediscovered this wonderful setting and I'm sure I'm far from the only one who you roped back into it. It only seems fitting, well-earned, even that they acknowledge you in such a way. Perhaps all these little lectures of yours are now something that exists in a little corner of the setting. Glory to you, and your clan.

2020-10-20 14:19:02 +0000 UTCI never thought of the beginning of the BattleMech in the same terms as the Interwar period tech-wise... That's a really cool comparison. Thanks Dr. Checkers!
