Hey, I think this guy was on at least one of Arch's livestreams.
he probably won't do it again. afterwards he got harassed by a bunch of crazy lefties. Dude has some mental issues that got heavily exasperated by that. just wanted to talk about the cool nerd hobby he loves and got introduced to a mob for it. the sad thing is the livestream didn't even really get political. just talked about battletech and shat on GW for the most part. he just got attacked for appearing on the livestream not for anything said.

I didn't know that, it is not like I follow Arch that closely, but I was surprised that he has not produced much in the way of more BT/MW content and that he didn't have that guy on again, and that explains it.

I mean, I didn't even finish their original stream, which was iirc over 3 hours long, maybe 4 or 5.

But I remember they were getting on quite well.

In any case, some MW5 and that one book RazorFist narrated on youtube are the only inroads I have made into the BT universe.

Razor did 2 if I recall correctly. a channel called mageleader did one as well that I rather enjoyed listening to. I played MW 2 and MW 4 as my intro. Tex talking about it got me to buy the HBS battletech and MW5. MWO didn't appeal to me.

I listened to one partway on rumble, will have to find it and hear it in its entirety.

I hope at some point he and Arch do a few streams about the setting.

You guys got any links for those audiobooks?
mage leader Measure of a hero I really liked the characters involved here. the MC is a good man and the main antagonist is also an honorable man. the main characters were very well done though if I were to make a critisism the side characters were a bit flat. still really loved the book though.

edit on a side note I actually really want a penetrator. 2 ERLL plus 6MPL is a really fun design.



Razor 1 ghost of winter doesn't really have too many surprise twists but rather well done and I liked the characters.


razor 2 see above.

Wait, when did that happen???

Tex is why I got into BT, did he have a community post about it?
It happened I think on Saturday, his whole channel giot hijacks for some elon musk impersonation scam. From the community post from 4 days ago (found here https://www.youtube.com/@theblackpantslegion/community)

"The Black Pants Legion4 days ago
So today we got smashed with a fun hack. Alright, fun way to start 2023. Sure, it smarts, but please be patient as I slowly get this stuff back. This will take some time, and the damage is measurable to even the passer-by. That being said, I just did a thesis on the charger and the lesson there is if life beats your ass down. . . well"
