Ahead of their upfront, NBC has released a three-minute trailer for "Constantine," its TV series based on the DC/Vertigo "Hellblazer" comics. The series is expected to be more faithful adaptation than the 2005 Keanu Reeves-led feature.
Matt Ryan ("Criminal Minds") plays the chain-smoking supernatural detective alongside Lucy Griffiths, Harold Perrineau and Charles Halford. The series is scheduled to take the Friday 10pm slot which is currently occupied by "Hannibal".

It's a near worse-case scenario for American skier Lindsey Vonn. The U.S. Ski Team has confirmed that Vonn suffered a torn ACL and MCL in her right knee as a result of her terrifying crash during Tuesday's super G at the FIS Alpine Ski World Championships. Vonn also has a "lateral tibial plateau fracture," per the team's medical director Kyle Wilkens -- a "fracture or break in the continuity of the bone occurring in the proximal part of the tibia or shinbone."
Despite the severity of the injury -- she is (obviously) out for the remainder of this season -- the U.S. Ski Team remains optimistic, saying they expect Vonn to "return to racing for the 2013-14 Audi FIS World Cup season and the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi."
The Opening Ceremonies of the 2014 Winter Games are just 367 days away.
After a delay because of fog and low visibility, Vonn crashed coming off a jump about midway down the course, catching an edge as she landed, causing her right knee to twist in a way that a knee should never be twisted. She was immediately attended to by medical personnel for 12 minutes before being airlifted to a hospital.
Video of the crash shows the frightening landing and picks up audio of Vonn crying out in pain:
At the time of the crash, Vonn, who has more super G wins than any woman in history, was on pace to challenge for a spot on the podium. Slovenia's Tina Maze won the gold medal after organizers stopped the event because of the lingering fog. Lara Gut finished second and American Julia Mancuso was third.

Campaigners lobby Kings Langley's MP, Mike Penning, in battle to save Britain's barn owls
11:10am Thursday 27th February 2014 in News By Claire Maxwell, Reporter
A petition has been launched to call upon Kings Langley's MP in a bid to help save Britain's barn owls.
The petition has already attracted over 120,000 signatures from across the country. It is asking for the introduction of stronger controls on the use of powerful rodent poisons and clear labelling on packaging, as recommended by the Barn Owl Trust.
Mike Penning is overseeing a decision made by the Health and Safety Executive on how powerful rat poisons are used.
At present rat poisons are getting into the wild food chain, poisoning owls that eat poisoned rodents. Currently 84 per cent of Barn Owls test positive for these poisons, which can kill them.
Bert Wander, from Avaaz, an online petition organisation, said: "If Mike Penning and the Health and Safety Executive change the rules that govern the use of the poisons, barn owls can be protected."

Niftster nailed the fifth (and most important) one.
I *was* gonna guess Hawaii because I remember when Obama's Facebook page said he was 52 when he was 48. Odd.
If that were the case, he would have been born in Hawaii more than two years.
But I chickened out on the Hawaii answer.
There was some significant test in 1959... I was thinking X-15.
Found it - September 17
Thanks....I know that sometimes I get cross ways with some of the folks on the boards but I know that deep down we all love our freedom and our country. I miss the Gipper.
And by the way I like your list too. It was hard to keep my list small since I think there are so many bright spots (last two elections for president not being part of them)

Volunteers at South Miami Lutheran Church have dedicated their time to cutting several American flags apart and the act was anything but anti-American.
Their mission is to the contrary. To show their gratitude for military men and women, the church has cut embroidered stars from old, worn flags to send to them for Memorial Day.
Following the guidelines of the nationwide project, Stars for Our Troops, the church asked the community for flags that were tattered or faded in color. After receiving 10 flags, they removed the blue cantons and donated what remained to local Boy Scout troops to retire.
Carefully, the volunteers would cut away hundreds of stars and place them in small plastic bags with an explanation that reads, "I am part of our American flag that has flown over a home in the U.S.A. I can no longer fly. The sun and winds have caused me to become tattered and torn. Please carry me as a reminder that you are not forgotten."
Community service director Fiona Ehlies says they have sent 50 of these bags to those serving overseas to distribute to their colleagues. In addition, they sent over 100 packages to veterans in time for Memorial Day.
Ehlies, who brought the project to the church, said the concept appealed to her because she wanted to find a unique way to show support for the troops.
"I was looking for a project like this instead of ones where I am always asking congregants for money," Ehlies said. "This project allowed us to use the worn flags, put in a little time and acknowledge those who have done so much for us."
Parish administrator Mary Pohl participated and says it has been rewarding to acknowledge the thankless service of these men and women, a few of whom have close ties to the church.
"It is important that the troops know they are not forgotten," Pohl said. "This is something they can keep with them."
At the service Sunday, the group will also distribute stars to any veterans who attend. They hope to continue the project for Veterans Day and throughout the year.
"As long as we get names for people to send to, the project will be ongoing," Ehlies said.
Anyone who would like to suggest members of the services to send stars to or is interested in donating old flags can contact the church at 305-665-2562 or email@example.com.
For more information on the project, visit www.starsforourtroops.org.

We have a big show this Saturday with Kort McCumber out of Colorado. I'm not quite sure how Kort found the Hideaway but I'm glad he did. I love his music and think you will too.
The Colorado-by-way-of-Florida based singer/songwriter has, for years, been turning out bluegrass tinged Americana, but with his latest album, Aint the Same as Before, McCumber takes a hard left from the style of his last few albums toward a more rock and blues-fueled one. You really won't want to miss this one.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased here or at the door the night of the event.

I Want to Party on The Jersey Shore
For hilarity's sake, it seemed too good to be true. After the huge buzz surrounding Tommy from MTV's True Life, we finally got a reality show about eight guidos/guidettes living in a house together. "Jersey Shore," which premiered this past Thursday night, was everything I hoped it would be and more. There was one aspect of the show that caught me totally off guard, however: I was planning on hating and making fun of the guidos on the show, but after just 20 minutes, I was faced with the reality that I really kind of liked these guys. In fact, I'd be pumped to party with them.
The whole guido craze is something that's fascinated me for years. I couldn't understand why guys would want to tan until they were orange and would wear their hair in spiky, absurd, product-saturated styles, all while boasting about their Italian heritage and steroid use. Even more confusing is the fact that girls found these guys attractive. Granted, they weren't the types of girls I'd be particularly interested in – high heels, fake boobs, and, like their male counterparts, plenty of tanning and hair products. If you've ever been to Long Island or, obviously, the Jersey Shore, then you know just the type of guido or guidette I'm referring to. What kind of people make themselves look like that? What kind of subculture is this? How can you take seriously anybody that struts around like this:
Yeah. So, you can imagine my elation at learning that MTV was going to stick eight of these creatures together in one house and film the whole thing. This wasn't going to be a reality show; it was going to be a documentary on the decay of our civilization. Interestingly, the guidos are proud of being guidos, and it seems to be a lifestyle they embrace. Being called a guido isn't offensive, it's a badge of honor for these guys.
In the opening moments of "Jersey Shore," we're introduced to the eight guidos and guidettes who will be living in the Jersey Shore house together, and each one tells us what it means to be a guido or guidette. Their answers are all pretty much the same and probably best summed up by one particular answer – "being a guido means family, friends, gel, tanning." Of course, after hearing that, I'm ready to hate these guys and gals. After learning a bit more about them, though, I totally changed my tune. I still think the girls are pretty classless and trashy, but the guys…well, I think the guys kick ass. They live their lives without any consideration of responsibility or repercussion, and I think there's something pretty appealing about that. More importantly, underneath the steroid muscles, ridiculous tans, and even more ridiculous hair, the guidos are just a bunch of guys who want to get drunk, party, and get laid. They're really pretty harmless, all about fun, and there's nothing wrong with that. Once you get past the outer-appearance (which, even I admit, isn't easy), these guidos ain't so bad at all.
Vinny is actually college educated (is it something like an online college? Maybe, but at least he values education) and seems like a very down-to-earth, reasonable guy. He's chill and friendly, and when it's time to let loose at night, Vinny goes all out. Vinny doesn't look nearly as guido-ish as the others, as the insane hair and tanning aren't really his thing. Ronnie is an absolute monster but pretty quiet and laid back, too. He's got a great concoction he calls "Ron Ron Juice," the perfect mixer for getting slammed and hitting up the Jersey Shore club scene. Pauly D is the most guido-looking of them all, a DJ with the trademark guido hairstyle and two big diamond earrings in his ears. During his introduction, he claims to sometimes hook up with other guys' girlfriends, which I'd think was a bunch of bullshit if I didn't see him in action. Say what you want about this guy's look, but he definitely gets laid. A lot.
And finally, there's Mike AKA The Situation – easily my favorite cast member of the Jersey Shore. The Situation is so over-the-top it's hard to believe, but I think that there's a sort of tongue-in-cheek to everything he says. At least, I hope there is. The Situation is a jacked, smooth-talking guido, and there's no doubt in my mind that he gets plenty of ass, too. Even while sulking over Sammi "Sweetheart" hooking up with Ronnie, The Situation (I refuse to call him by anything else) had a girl waiting to hook up with him somewhere in the house.
The reason the guys are so likable to me – in addition to how they're just all about having fun – is that right away, they were all cool with each other. No measuring up and no stand-offs, these guys were simply looking for fellow guidos to have fun with over the summer. Put a bunch of meatheads together, and they'll combine their powers to maximize fun. Put a bunch of girls together, though, and the backstabbing and conniving will start almost immediately.
As for the girls…three out of the four have fake boobs, and all four think they're way hotter than they actually are. They cake on makeup and aspire to hook up with the tannest, most jacked, guido-est guidos on the Jersey Shore. Sammi "Sweetheart" has already teased The Situation and then hooked up with Ronnie, although I don't think that's going to last very long. JWoww (yeah – JWoww) has a boyfriend back home, but that didn't stop her from grabbing Pauly D's pierced penis (and while we're on this subject, the whole pierced penis thing really changed the way I look at Pauly D. That's a big time commitment, and you don't pierce your penis unless you're truly a bad boy who's scoring lots of guidette tail. Pauly D may look ridiculous, but he does steal girlfriends). Angelina – the only guidette with natural breasts – is my least favorite. She's got a boyfriend back home, but for some reason feels the need to try and block all the guidos in the house from hooking up with girls from outside the house. What gives? As The Situation noted, she's just a hater.
And then, of course, is the show's token maniac trainwreck, Snickers. Actually, it's Snooki, but the other members of the house call her Snickers since they have absolutely zero respect for her. During the first two episodes, Snickers got black-out drunk, tried to hook up with all four guys in the hot tub, was late for her first day of work, packed her bags and threatened to leave the show and go home, and brought home perhaps the scummiest guy on the entire Jersey Shore. As my friend Jake pointed out, he had the same voice as Mike Damone from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Perhaps my favorite line of the entire episode came when guido-Damone and Snickers were hanging out on the roof and The Situation commented that they look cute together. "Your boy Mike is on the right page," says guido-Damone. Amazing.
Essentially, The Jersey Shore is The Real World, except with guidos. The housemates have a stupid, do-nothing job working at a T-shirt store and get to spend the rest of their time getting wasted and partying. There's going to be lots of unnecessary drama and plenty of fights this season on The Jersey Shore, and I'll be watching every step of the way. I mean, why else would we watch? The remarkable thing, though, is that instead of hating and rooting against Vinny, Pauly D, Ronnie, and The Situation, I'm going to be enjoying their antics and wishing that I was the fifth guido for a summer of debauchery on the Jersey Shore. In fact, I'm going to hit the tanning bed and buy a few gallons of hair gel right now.

I admit it's entertaining, and for all the wrong reasons, but it's still disrespectful to Jersey. I mean, we get enough shit without these idiots, and I fear our already besmirched reputations will never recover.
Nonetheless, these guys make me fear for society/question why I can't get laid.
# Sammyon 07 Dec 2009 at 12:55 pm
I have to agree with you on the fact that Angelina sucks. She is the worst on the show. She is the ugliest and she goes out and cock blocks the guys when they have three girls over. She doesn't even have an orange tan or fake boobs. Clearly not a true guidette. Snickers is SUCH a hot mess, loved how you described her! I do disagree with you on that the guys rule. They are disgusting meatheads and my biggest nightmare. I would NEVER date a guido, nor hook up with one, especially Pauly D with a pierced penis…how many STDs are up in there? I do like the fact that the guys all got along right from the start but now with Ronnie moving in on Sammi I think there will be a situation with the situation and Ronnie. I wouldn't want to hang out with ANY of these people but I would like to try me some of that Ron Ron Juice and sit back and observe!
# Nattybon 07 Dec 2009 at 1:52 pm
Yes I got caught watching the show but nothing is better than the Dog Brothers from Sex in the 90s on MTV. NOTHING. A. I'd plow every one of these girls just to shut them up and B. That "situation" dude has a face that doesn't match his body.

Dennis Freedman: "The Longer I've Worked In Fashion, The More I've Realized It's Really Not Just About Clothes"-------
One year ago, it was announced that Dennis Freedman, the longtime creative director of W, would be leaving the magazine. Freedman didn't waste any time before embarking on a new chapter of his storied career: In short order, he accepted the role of creative director at a rebooted Barneys New York and revealed that he would be partnering with Damiani on a new book imprint, Freedman Damiani. This month, Freedman Damiani publishes its first title, Philip-Lorca diCorcia: ELEVEN, a retrospective of the photographer's editorials for W. "I was talking to Philip-Lorca," Freedman recalls, "and he brought up the idea of doing a book about the work we did together at W, and it happened that I had just made this deal with Damiani. The whole thing was serendipitous." Freedman goes on to note that his life has been shaped by that kind of luck. "Most of the best things that happened in my career, I never planned or expected," he says. "But what I've learned is that, as long as you're curious and as long as you're committed to working with people you care about, the path will create itself." Here, Freedman talks to Style.com about art versus commerce, the value of commitment, and what fashion, at the end of the day, is really all about.
Was launching a book imprint something you knew you wanted to do when you left W?
It wasn't, no. Damiani approached me, and of course, it struck me as an amazing opportunity. I've been really lucky in my career to have been able to work with a lot of people I admire, whose work I believe in, and the imprint is a way of continuing to do that. The idea is, basically, we publish two books a year, and they reflect my tastes and interests. And it's incredibly gratifying—and fitting—that the very first title is with Philip-Lorca, with whom I had one of the most meaningful collaborations of my career.
How did that collaboration come about?
I was very familiar with his work, after he did this one-man show at MoMA, I was looking at the book from the show, and it struck me that the nature of his work could be applied to fashion, and interesting in the context of a quote-unquote "fashion" shoot. I mean, as a fashion magazine, we could use our tools—fashion, hair, makeup—to define the characters in his pictures. I didn't want it to be a straight-ahead fashion editorial, and I didn't want it to be a Philip-Lorca diCorcia work, either; the minute you, as an artist, are incorporating someone else's objectives into your work, it's not your art, it's something else. I wanted to see what that something else could be.
Do you look at these photographs now, and see more fashion, or more art?
I see both. There are credits in those stories, and clothes that were for sale, but that doesn't mean the photographs don't have their own validity or integrity. They're no less interesting because Philip-Lorca had to incorporate other people's commercial needs, and they have the characteristics of great art, in that you can return to them, they don't reveal themselves immediately, they require attention. That's very different than most commercial photography. Continue Reading "Dennis Freedman: "The Longer I've Worked In Fashion, The More I've Realized It's Really Not Just About Clothes"" »
Bullets Over Broadway: Victoria's Secret Stops Traffic in Soho-------
Those of us for whom Victoria's Secret's annual Fashion Show is not a rite of passage will be forgiven for not ardently awaiting the unveiling of this year's Fantasy Bra, the gem-encrusted undergarment that sets the tone for the runway's over-the-top underwear extravaganza. Those of you who already have November 30′s show DVR'ed, the wait is over. Angel Adriana Lima debuted the Diamond Fantasy Bra this morning outside of the Victoria's Secret Soho flagship, coupling it with what we think is the company's idea of eveningwear. (Can you hear the marketing department? Yes! The Diamond Fantasy Bra is completely acceptable to wear as a top!) To be fair, the bra, which Victoria's Secret blinged out with help from Italian jewelry brand Damiani, retails for a cool $2 million, so it would be great if you could wear it somewhere other than the bedroom. Last year's Harlequin Fantasy Bra, however, was $3 million, so maybe this is the year to dream big. Tell us: Would you turn a Diamond Fantasy into a reality?
Now Coveting: Jil Sander Fine Jewelry-------
It was a steady but controlled crowd last night at the Jil Sander boutique—essentially all downtown-leaning fashionistas currently not in Miami—there to ogle the house's new avant-elegant fine jewelry collection, a collaboration with Damiani. "They remind me of Calder," said stylist Haidee Findlay Levin, musing at the fringe-coated models milling around. "Do you think when you buy the jewels, they throw in the long neck?" Another editor said the sprays of tiny stones reminded her of fiber-optic lamps. No matter what they thought, the fact remains that the new Jil jewels, the earrings in particular, are incredibly beautiful—and beautifying for the way they delicately graze the line of the face. And as we (dangerously) found out, some are surprisingly well priced. You could pick up a pair of Tahitian pearl, aquamarine, and icy diamond earrings for a $4,720. Frankly, that's not much more than the price of some Raf-designed dresses, and they're seasonless. Dangerous indeed.
accessorizing, jil sander style-------
Jewelry is about as familiar a sight at Jil Sander as fringe and embroidery. But believe it or not, designer Raf Simons showed all three at his show this morning. The earrings and bracelets, made in collaboration with the Italian jeweler Damiani, had a vaguely tribal feeling. Often worn one at a time, the delicate gold spears stuck out from either side of the lobe with diamonds and semiprecious stones on the ends. "I feel a big excitement and challenge to create a product category that is not typically seen as Jil Sander," said Simons. "I am convinced that there are no limitations to enter new areas for the brand as long as we can create these items in the very specific Jil Sander style—sophisticated, luxurious, and ultra-modern." What's next, a Jil Sander home collection? Actually, that'd be pretty cool.

Ever hear the debut of Captain Beyond, which featured intitial Purple frontman Rod Evans from the days when the Purp began life as a psychedellic pop outfit? That's another early example of fast-playing hard rock. Sir Lord Baltimore from the same era also have a couple of tracks in the same vein.

Jonas Blixt leads PGA Tour Greenbrier Classic
Defending champion Jonas Blixt of Sweden shot a 6-under 64 to take a one-stroke lead at the Greenbrier Classic, a PGA Tour event.
The Associated Press
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. – Jonas Blixt's memory of raising the trophy last year carried over to a strong start at the Greenbrier Classic.
The defending champion shot a 6-under-par 64 on Thursday to take a one-stroke lead over former Stanford standout Patrick Rodgers and seven others in the PGA Tour event at Old White TPC.
Blixt tied for second in the Masters in April but missed the cut in three of his last four starts. Returning to The Greenbrier resort brought him back to a comfort zone.
Starting on the 10th hole, Blixt had six birdies on his front nine and made the turn at 5 under. Six of the Swede's eight birdies came on putts of 10 feet or less. He also chipped in from the rough for a birdie on No. 16.
Rodgers is looking to make his third straight cut since turning pro. He holed a 118-yard wedge for an eagle on the par-4 first hole — his 10th hole of the day.
After the round, he was back on the driving range.
"Being a new pro out here, you're always trying to figure out and establish your routines," Rodgers said, "and mine is just kind of cool down after the round and working on the things I felt like I can improve, and hopefully be ready for tomorrow."
Also at 65 were Chris Kirk, D.A. Points, James Hahn, Jason Bohn, Joe Durant, Jim Renner and Danny Lee.
Michael Putnam, who is from University Place, and Kevin Chappell, who owns a home in Kirkland, were among the players tied for 18th at 67.
Former Washington Husky Troy Kelly (69) was tied for 53rd place.
Kyle Stanley of Gig Harbor and ex-Huskies Richard H. Lee and Alex Prugh were among the players tied for 92nd place at 71.
Couples to miss major
EDMOND, Okla. – Seattle native Fred Couples withdrew from the U.S. Senior Open because of a back injury, and Craig Stadler and Graham Marsh also pulled out of the major tournament next week at Oak Tree National because of injuries.
Couples was runner-up to Bernhard Langer in the 2010 U.S. Senior Open at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish.
• American Kevin Stadler shot a 7-under 64 in his French Open debut to lead by a stroke after the first round in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines.
Marcel Siem of Germany was in second place, and Stephen Gallacher (66) of Scotland was in third.

Your digital marketing Punch List for 2014 contains all the things you know your company should be doing, but didn't get around to in 2013.
One thing that I never expected to hear was news from White House correspondents about Cabinet-level meetings where the conversations covered user experience and a digital "Punch List," which is a term of art for a "To-Do" list.
Now that 2014 is upon us, digital marketers need to restart with a 2014 punch list of all the stuff we know we should be doing, alongside the requisite juice cleanse and gym membership renewal.
Almost anywhere on the planet, a customer has a mobile device in her hands and is -- in one way or another and whether she knows it or not --shopping. Mobile is the white hot sun that sits in the center of the multi-platform solar system. Whether she's in Shanghai or Sheboygan, the phone is not far out of reach, and that has consequences for marketers.
In this world where mobile devices are a ubiquitous life accessory, customers expect to get information at any time and expect immediate feedback. While the phone is in her hand, she's most likely doing other things like watching TV, riding a bus or browsing in a store. So what can we as marketers do to respond to her needs?
We need to be always open for business and we need to be nimble enough to respond to her any time of day, across all channels, as a single customer. There's no way to have that many sales people on all the time to respond efficiently. Let's take the simple sending of an email. It seems like the easiest thing in the world, but I've never worked with a company that had an easy time sending out weekly or even monthly emails. To be "always on" is to have written hundreds of emails for different segments and different parts of the customer's journey -- and have them ready at the pull of a trigger.
Here is the 2014 Digital Punch List, or the stuff we know we should be working on but didn't get around to in 2013:
Sorry to say there are many more items for this list, but if a punch list gets too long, it's too hard to face. Let's start with the above and move on throughout the year!

The Hereford Police Male Choir was formed in 1957 to sing at a special thanksgiving service at Hereford Cathedral to mark the centenary of Herefordshire Constabulary. It was made up then of serving police officers together with some members of the 'Specials.' Today, almost half a century later, the choir continues to successfully sing although its ranks have long been opened up to men from all walks of life. Current members include retired teachers, undertakers, padres, surveyors, train drivers but no criminals yet! There are members who are working policeman too – ranging from a PC to a Chief Inspector.
During the series, we asked you to post your comments for the choirs - many thanks for all the comments you made. The comments system is now closed, but you can still read all the responses below.
You did Herefordshire and the West Mercia Constabulary proud and the MD is wonderful.

well done i thought thet u put feeling and your heart and soul into ever song !!!
My father was a wonerful tenor who used to sing on the pubs and club circuit in Grimsby and Cleethorpes. Sadly, he died in November 2007 so when you sang the Perry Como medley, which he used to tell us children was him, my tears just streamed. Sorry you had to go but much love and luck for your future.
congrats guys. its really emotinal cause you guys are like 50 brothers well done alison but last minute and only men aloud! had more hunger than you did as well as confidence but you believed in each other as well as yourself. you will go far!
I think they were brill. Great and fine Gents. Well done Alison. .
An excellent performance of the MV genre. Agree with others that Bath come no where near. But advanced years singers do not get identified with as being 'cool' by a largely musically inexperienced bunch of younger Anglo Saxons. Agree also that other groups are entered under false pretences,not as choirs as such and seem to be miked unlike any of the Male Voice groups entered who are able to sing off each other without reliance on modern electronic assistance. Not a level playing field. Some the younger singers could benefit from vocal and tonal coaching. They seem to be relying on modern singers they perceive as good examples of singers?Uh?
Only Men Aloud should and ought to win as musically, performance and balancewise they are streets ahead of any of the others. But we need many more like them to move male voice choir singing forward.
I agree with the comment that Bath is through and you are not. You were consistently good yet Bath was told it was off key after too many performances and was lack lustre particularly in last weeks show - shameful producer led manipulation of the finals!
Only Men Aloud! have signed a seven-figure record deal with Universal Music.
Myleene tells us about her favourite moments from the series, why this has been her dream job and who would be in her dream choir.

MechWarrior Tactics Gameplay Video
Here's the first gameplay video for MechWarrior Tactics showcasing the UI.
Wish there were more videos of this game. :-)
this video is really too short, is difficult to anderstand somethingh about the game meccanisms
I wish a AAA release version of a turn based Mechwarrior Title would appear. The first TB Mechwarrior PC game deserves better than some free to play browser plugin like this.
Definitely reminds me of the table top game. I still have a bunch of those, actually. When I saw "Tactics" in the title, I kinda figured it would be a turn based game. Still looks fun though. Hoping for online battles.
It's like the maps I'd see when people played the pen & paper version......gods that was long ago....middle school long ago lol
Yep, if it's a 4x strategy war game then I'm in ;)
boourns was hopin this would be mech commander 2 successor....... boourns
soooo it is like a software version of the old tabletop? if that the case this could be interesting.
that was it? I was expecting at least 5 minutes
@Gelugon_baat dude, mechwarrior started WITH dice rolling
I've been waiting almost for 2 decades for something like this...
@Captain_Cow So? Just because dice rolls had been around in the franchise for a long time doesn't mean that I am going to accept it.
