Okay folks - a decision to make and an update to present
Added 2020-04-28 15:53:29 +0000 UTCAlright: Mike's working his magic. Film is completely scored, we may go back and make final tweaks on the MEAT of the film. However, we have some fine details to wring out. Commercials are one part. Another is some fun cameos from folks. We're thinking maybe 1-2 weeks though I am hugely tempted to put this out on May 20 to Celebrate Tukkayid's victory. It's insane to think it's been a year since that video, but this ties back to it. Beautifully.
Anyways, a decision to make for you guys.
In the next few episodes, we will cover:
1. The Mackie and the rise of the Battlemech
2. The Rifleman
3. Probably, the Marauder or Warhammer
After that though...
What would you think?

2020-05-07 01:58:06 +0000 UTCHow bout my Thunderbolt??? Or Minnesota Tribe?? Or Wolf's Dragoons??? Or Clan Wolverine??? Eridani Light Horse???
2020-05-02 15:21:31 +0000 UTCWould love hear your take on the Grasshopper. I'd be very excited to a video on the Warhammer as it my favorite mech.

2020-05-01 10:27:23 +0000 UTCI think we need a Primer on the Grate Houses/ the Sucseshon wars, but i would not even know how to Approach that, they are all so huge topics, if you do it i would be pleased, but May god have mercy on you sir, that seams like a bigger undertaking then the clan two parter.
2020-04-30 15:17:00 +0000 UTCDepending on era, that could be a huge video, and do I mean huge.
THE BLACK PANTS LEGION
2020-04-29 23:31:24 +0000 UTCAlso not trying to be a dick, I joked about it previously, I just firmly believe that the great houses color so much of everything you are talking about. This as of yet has not been touched on, we talked about the clans prior to the houses. I don't think that's a bad thing at all, just I think that Comstar and especially the houses are at least as important if not more. It will be a mammoth task that needs to be split into smaller chunks likely.

2020-04-29 16:20:42 +0000 UTCSteiner, the great houses haven't been touched on, and they are the touchstone for much of what you are talking about in general. Do one every year or 6 months. You should do the best one first. Steiner.

2020-04-29 16:12:51 +0000 UTCHave you considered making an Introductory video for the Battletech Universe? I would welcome a short summary on the current state on the state of the galaxy, brief explanation of the Big Houses, Clans, Mercernaries, etc. I think it would useful for those who are not familiar with the franchise.

2020-04-29 07:10:15 +0000 UTCSecond that! #MakeTheHatchetman ;-)
2020-04-29 06:18:36 +0000 UTCLet's do a Super Heavy Tank! Mars Assault? Or SH Tank history? #pleaseKenBurns-sama

2020-04-29 02:54:20 +0000 UTCGive me the Hatchetman! :p
2020-04-29 01:17:50 +0000 UTCKell Hounds perhaps? Or maybe a less honorable mercenary company...

Bradley D Williams
2020-04-28 22:03:21 +0000 UTCPersonally, I think it would be really cool to hear the story of a few of the notable characters from clan invasion era like Victor Steiner-Davion, Kai Allard Liao, Aiden Pryde or Phellan Kell maybe even Duncan Fisher
Captain Hazelwood
2020-04-28 21:34:37 +0000 UTCSeconding this; the Irregulars are fun
Charles Fitt
2020-04-28 20:36:13 +0000 UTCI voted for a historical event: Kentares IV sir, because Warcrimes.
2020-04-28 20:05:25 +0000 UTCI got it the history of fasa or the history of battletech
2020-04-28 19:26:30 +0000 UTCSo tempting to vote for far country to see if we can stroke out texs
2020-04-28 19:24:08 +0000 UTCWhy not both a faction and a vehicle? Not in the same episode mind you but it’s two things we seem to want to know more about. It would be cool to see some more info on the vehicles and perhaps more people would use them.
2020-04-28 19:18:46 +0000 UTCI'd love to hear more about Davion. They seem marginally less horrible than some of the other houses
Ironguard
2020-04-28 18:54:36 +0000 UTCI'd like to know about the first group to face off against the clan. Like when the MadCat was named!!
Laird Stanard
2020-04-28 18:41:59 +0000 UTCWould love to see a video on my favorite speedybois (Locust of Jenner)
2020-04-28 18:41:55 +0000 UTCSomething on one of the famous units would be great. Though I'm hard pressed to decide if I want to hear you rant about one with a history of stupid decisions, or hear you talk about one you respect.
2020-04-28 18:29:28 +0000 UTCWould the Marauder one include the Marauder II and or IIC and II C (The space is important apparently)

2020-04-28 18:13:07 +0000 UTCSnord's Irregulars has a fascinating history.
Chris Lewis the Pretzelbear
2020-04-28 18:00:18 +0000 UTCThis is the toughest choice I've had to make all week Vehicle or Faction History. A video on the battlemech origins sounds like a treat, I know the broad lore overview for Mechwarrior but there is so much detail I have yet to dive into and the first true Mech is one of them!
Lawrence Evans
2020-04-28 17:34:28 +0000 UTCI agree on the famous units. Wolf's Dragoons from their entry into the Inner Sphere. Kell Hounds, Grey Death Legion, Light Horse, etc.
2020-04-28 17:17:56 +0000 UTCSome ASF units?
2020-04-28 17:05:21 +0000 UTCLove all of these topics but would most love to hear about Factions/Famous Units
2020-04-28 16:46:59 +0000 UTCI would love to see a video on Theodore Kurita or House Kurita / Draconis Combine as a whole. They make some pretty awesome mechs like the Dragon and Panther, and more importantly many of the first Omni-Mechs of the Inner Sphere, especially the Black Hawk KU.
OpSihg_Stabr
2020-04-28 16:39:22 +0000 UTCMedium Mech. My favorite specialty mech in that range . The Trebuchet
2020-04-28 16:36:57 +0000 UTCI would love to see a video on the most obscure lore you and Mike can find in BattleTech. I think it will be a good idea to remind clanners of Tuukyid on the 20th.
ninjagonepostal
2020-04-28 16:29:03 +0000 UTCI'd love to see something on a merc unit like Hansen's Roughriders or Eridani Light Horse or the Waco Rangers-Wolf's Dragoons rivalry.

2020-04-28 16:20:10 +0000 UTCHunchback pls
2020-04-28 16:11:08 +0000 UTCPersonally, I think that going into some of the vehicles that the Sphere started to crank out because 'Mechs were increasingly rare could be interesting. It would highlight the backwards slide of tech in the Succession Wars era.

2020-04-28 16:02:02 +0000 UTCI am looking forward to hearing how the intellectuals at Armoured Warfare decided to throw everything out of the book and even throw a middle finger to the Square Cubed Law itself.

2020-04-28 15:58:44 +0000 UTCDefinitely voting for factions as I’d love your rundown on the history of the houses and the peripheral states and how they all came to be in glorious Tex style detail
