In fact the only thing that will really happen is to give “big brother” yet one more unneeded avenue to pry into the private business of law abiding citizen’s, we certainly don’t need any more of that…   far too much exists already.

It’s been far too long since a good game came out based on the Mechwarrior universe and this game looks particularly good to me since it appears they want to capture the feel of the original tabletop game which I loved growing up.

If this is just a ‘wake-up’ phase then it makes the idea of the massive solar storms predicted to show up the end of 2012 or beginning of 2013 daunting!
