@Bullet_Tooth_Tony: I'm sorry you feel the federal government doesn't have your back. I know that in my case, passing the health care legislation is integral to my quality of life, and I mean that in terms of my physical health.

@ronpandolfi: They WERE making MechWarrior 5 (and the BattleTech series had all that stuff too), but I heard it got canceled. Again. The trailers were phenomenal though:

@planetarian: Definitely a Mad Cat Mk. II. Even in MW4, the original Mad Cat's arms were held far lower than the Mk. II's.
