Just finished recording 36 of 54 pages of material for the #PhoenixHawkIIC video, and am now about to crash for probably most of the morning and afternoon. Only one more night of recording is on the way my friends. Then I can begin audio editing- hopefully starting this Sunday. #battletech

The new Arrow IV detonation in Mechwarrior 5 Clans is positively apocalyptic. #mechwarrior #videogames #battletech

Stormcrow in snow.

Completely unedited photo of my Grizzly on the frozen surface of the New River. #battletech #miniatures #outdoorphotography

Some truly great sledding conditions with this icy top layer.

January views looking down a windy Haweswater in the Lake District. It was so windy whilst taking this picture I struggled to stay standing. #landscapephotography #lakedistrict #uk

I don't like the social category of "fan" because it's basically just a container for petty and naive boundary maintenance. I also think you should just be able to like stuff without becoming a self-identified partisan extremist about it.

Me asking my neighbor if he has a spare kerosene heater.

This is the first non-mech video I've ever made that cracked 100,000 views, as of a short while ago. It just goes to show people mostly just want opinion-based ranking videos on the internet, lol #Battletech

The Warhammer 40K crowd is slapfighting on twitter dot com right now.

The first Bad Mech article of the year is here! An Albatross around one's neck represents guilt. In this case, the guilt of having to pilot an Albatross. Link: www.sarna.net/news/bad-mec... #battletech #mechwarrior

I have just been notified that my book "BattleTech: A Question of Survival", which has won a pile of awards and I really love, was released on Audible today... so... go listen. amzn.to/3LK73Og

If you had a big box physical copy of Mechwarrior 5 Clans, which of these styles of covers would you prefer? Left or Right?

This is the same exact "human shields" rhetoric that was used to justify the murder of civilians in Gaza.

The Trump regime's ICE enforcement Kabuki theater got an American woman killed, which completely invalidates the admin's own rationale for why they need to deport "violent criminal illegals". Every single thing that happens is completely hypocritical and incoherent.

Not gonna lie, the first week of 2026 has been pretty depressing as an American.

"1st Somerset Strikers" With: Mauler, Axeman, Bushwacker, and the Sloth and Elemental battle armours. Really like how big and chunky the cartoon toyline made their mechs, riddled with all kinds of firing mechanisms. The kind of excess that we won't find in today's toys. #Battletech

The discourse some fans have on "lore" and "canon" is almost exactly the same as some wouldbe Protestant church founder trying to separate himself from the Catholic orthodoxy.

Got all these absolute classics in a sealed starter deck for the Battletech TCG. So many memories here. #battletech #gaming

We have a release date! The next episode of Tex Talks Battletech is almost here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=38cH...

Played my first game of the Battletech TCG in probably 20 years. House Davion had Clan Ghost Bear on the ropes until the Ghost Bears deployed the infamous Dasher D.

Merry Christmas everyone! #battletech

Okay, J. D. Vance, don't apologize for being white. But I am still going to need you to apologize for being stupid.

Word is that Text Talks Battletech Black Knight will premier next week! Time for another sneak peak at the upcoming BK pack. Can I interest you in a factory fresh Black Knight? New for 2578. Plenty of financing options for qualifying buyers. BPL www.youtube.com/@theblackpan... #battletech

On November 30th, it was the 30 year anniversary for the official expansion pack to Mechwarrior 2: Ghost Bear's Legacy. It built upon the foundation that MW2 established and featured a more detailed narrative. Here's to the Ghost Bears reclaiming their genetic legacy!

Finally got the Trueborn achievement in Flash Storm. I've now finished all 3 Mechwarrior 5 Clans games on the highest possible difficulty.

Wolves of Tukayyid Review – Raised By Wolves #battletech www.sarna.net/news/wolves-...

I'm both hopeful but also very anxious if we are going to get another Clans DLC (Jade Falcons!) It would be the perfect, neat little bow to get all four major Clans covered and I'd be sad if this does not materialize. Regardless of what's come, I'm super grateful for what we got.

While I did complete the game on Trueborn (thank you New Game +), I do not recommend this setting because the steep damage reduction ruins immersion. This is an Urbanmech shrugging off an alpha strike to the center torso from a Dire Wolf Widowmaker. Two full alphas were required. #battletech

Everyone's favorite @michaelastackpole.bsky.social character: Vlad in Wolves of Tukayyid for Mechwarrior 5: Clans

Comstar Zeus in Mechwarrior 5 Clans Wolves of Tukayyid

The Wolves of Tukayyid Arrow IV is pretty much a carbon copy of this, except no more having to pull the crosshairs up to arc it. #mechwarrior

Beat the Wolves of Tukayyid DLC on Trueborn!

My 7 year old wanted to play Battletech tonight, so we dueled a Kodiak and a Nightstar. Both of them ended up wrecked, which my son found highly amusing.

Finished Wolves of Tukayyid on Expert and started a new game + Trueborn playthrough. It's another incremental improvement on the base game that brings better mission length, devastating Arrow IVs, and more slick visuals/cut scenes. Story wise, well, it's Tukayyid, not much you can do with it.

Aight you got me. I had a fanboy moment the second I saw Aidan's last stand in his Timberwolf. #battletech #mechwarrior

My body is ready for the weekend with MW5Clans’ Wolves of Tukayyid

If you were an MW4 fan, the Wolves of Tukayyid has brought back NAVAL WARSHIPS for the first time in decades. #battletech #mechwarrior

I really miss the missile cam; it was awesome to see flights of LRMs smash into an enemy 'mech and you could even scout with it. #battletech
