No Curbie The Urbie

Who doesn't love giant robots? We sure as hell do, because that's what we spend more time talking about. Specifically Battletech, the Urbanmech, and the Battletech campaign that Mike is working on.

All Good Boogs Must Come To An End

(NSFW) Nothing gold can stay, and while this wasn't exactly golden moment, our little boogaloo comes to an end. 3 entered, one limps out.

After mopping up, Mike explains his love for Battletech to Glen and Brandon, and shares some lore about the Battletech universe.

Boogaloo With The Best Of Em!

(NSFW)If you're looking for some chaotic, robot on robot warfare, you've come to the right place! We continue our quick game of Battletech, and Glen continues to use his speed and aggression to his advantage, Mike's poor 'mech choice just keeps becoming more obvious, and Brandon keeps taking shots at everyone.

But the Boogaloo requires a sacrifice. Who doesn't make it out of this episode? Listen, and find out!

Why Did We Teach Him This Game???

Why is Glen so aggressive??? And why haven't we been this aggressive before??? Glen and Brandon do some skillful maneuvering and engage in some fast paced combat, while Mike lumbers around and takes some shot at the neighboring farms. Will mass overcome maneuverability and competence, or will the local livestock suffer? FIND OUT!

Boogaloo In The Basement

Welcome back to one of the most aggressive games of Battletech we've ever played! Mike and Brandon run down some rules of the game to Glen, and then we get to going. It's a battle of Dummy Thicc vs Dummy Quick vs a little of both, plus a heaping serving of down-right reckless aggression!

Giant Robot Free For All!

Our long battle finally ends, and immediately begets another! This one, however, has a new challenger. Yes, we got Zack off his phone, and into a 'mech, where he does something that we've been talking about since we started. What is that? Does Mike know the rules any better? FIND OUT!

Built Na'ir Tough

When we started this game, I didn't think it would turn into a drawn out battle, but such is the nature of miniaturized war. Dave's Atlas is still standing, like an obelisk of pain. Can Mike, Brandon, and Brandie take him down? Also Zack is back for this one! But he plays on his phone most of the time.

Fighting A Freightliner

Welcome back to the podcast that's in the middle of a giant robot fight! When last we left, Dave and his Atlas were wreaking havoc on Brandie, Brandon, and Mike; and the trio decided they weren't gonna go down like that. Do they succeed? Does Mike hide in the pond all episode? Does Brandon set everything on fire? FIND OUT!

Incompetence in the 30th Century

In the 30th Century war will be fought by mankind in giant, mechanized suits of armor the size of buildings. These are Battlemechs, machines that require years of training to master. We did not have years of training.

Down a Zack and a Glen, the rest of the crew dips into one of Michael's childhood favorites: Battletech 4th Edition! After explaining the rules, poorly, they start up a free-for-all match, that quickly takes a turn.
