We already have titanfall, thank you. Please fail in a more original manner.

Another 'far future' world with spaceships and vast technology and installations and teleporters and ray shields . . . in which combat comes down to infantry dopes with rifles. Oh and of the rifles fire ballistic bullets because of course they do.

Isn't HMC part of the larger universe of Chrestomanci? I'd thought it was one of the various parallel dimensions or something. Jones doesn't knit everything together super-tight in her stories.

I've always referred to Valkyria Chronicles as "Hayao Miyazaki Presents: Medal of Honor".

Marching song of the clone troopers . . .

What the hell, Augusta, South Carolina?

The same thing that would make them 500% better: Smoking bans.

Seeing that picture, I can think of nothing but the potential smell of the place.

I hate VR and Glass equally and intensely.
