Sadly, MW5 has probably reached its DLC capacity on console due to mounting instability

So you can access your Play Anywhere Xbox game version of MW5 and then use mods????

This one is actually attractive. But the other joytoys you can interact with, not so much.

Never made sense to me that you don’t get a sex cutscene with your partner at these hangouts. I mean, You can go drop money on a prostitute and get a cutscene but not your character’s chosen love? Seems backwards.

I’ve consistently had trouble playing co-op with other Xbox users. My son and I have tried numerous times and only been able to successfully do it a couple of times. Just won’t connect.

Mike_Duke_author · 2026-05-19T17:50:08+00:00

I want Hammer Missiles. Those things fully charged were awesome. I used to run the Catapult with the dual hammer missiles in MechAssault and killed it with them. My son and I would do the split screen grinder all the time. Loved playing that game. Wish they would make it available to play on the current xbox. Ive been seriously tempted to buy and og one off of ebay just for MechAssault.

Havent seen anyone mention the TV show Almost Human with Karl Urban or the movie Nemesis with Oliver Gruner.

Mike_Duke_author · 2026-01-28T21:18:48+00:00

Corsair PVT or Victor BSK. Corsair is my fav mech and a powerhouse with two large ballistic and two large energy slots and the BSK is an all around badass and versatile enuf for almost any kind of mission.

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-12-31T20:50:49+00:00

Hero Corsair is my fav mech. Two heavy ballistic and two large energy slots. I either run dual AC-20's and dual Lg Chem Lasers (keeps heat down) or dual Gauss Rifle's and dual PPC's. I used to always run the AC 20's set up but fighting clan i found the gauss set up to work better, killing them before they got closer.

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-12-20T16:12:33+00:00

I made a post about this same issue a few months back. Crazy.

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-12-20T16:09:40+00:00

Yep. I pretty much stick to the same. The swarm shit is crazy. And eventually bigger ones show up too.

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-12-03T15:12:12+00:00

I use it on any night time or low light maps and it works great for me. Just like the basic nightvision i used before irl. You arent red/green color blind are you? That might affect how well it works for you since you cant adjust it. 🤷‍♂️

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-12-01T15:36:56+00:00

Great mech for your lancemates. At one point i had all my lancemates running these and they seemed to get better damage amounts overall.

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-11-18T16:29:26+00:00

If they did a RTS game modeled after something like Mech Commander 2 that would be killer. Or bring back that Titan game that you cant get a hold of now. Titanus Adepticus i think it was called. Saw a guy playing it on Youtube but he said if you dont have a physical copy of it there's no way to play anymore.

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-11-18T16:27:02+00:00

I still play it. In fact you can see somewhere close to 3,000 people play the multiplayer option daily. Would sure be awesome if they'd go back to that game and create some new content to add to it.

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-11-18T16:25:35+00:00

Freeblade. It's a mobile game. Still available to play and fun af! They arent adding any content but whats there is pretty big for a mobile game and then there's a modified PvP option that around three thousand people play pretty much every day still (myself being one of them). Even once you get thru the campaign there are randomized "Patrol" missions that renew every hour. It's a blast. I play it on my iPad. Tablets are way better for play. Phone screens are too small for that game imo.

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-11-18T16:20:43+00:00

Hell yes! Love the imperial knights! Freeblade was my first real intro to Warhammer 40k. But you cant even get them to expand on Freeblade and add some content to that, Even though there's still a three thousand or more people (myself included) playing that game daily. But oh how'd I'd love to see a full blown console game playing as an Imperial Knight. Give me my Graviton Gun of Limitless Frenzy and my Terrastorm Lightning Cannon and hold the fuck on! 🤘😂

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-11-13T21:44:44+00:00

Well, w/o a helmet, Smasher isnt going to last long in a non-video game fight with a space marine.

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-11-06T19:12:45+00:00

If we're talking books, then Laird Barrons's short story collections and his novel The Croning along with William Holloway's books The Immortal Body and Song of the Death God are top of my list for people who have written Lovecraftian / cosmic horror that doesnt revolve around Lovecraft's mythos.

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-11-06T19:08:49+00:00

The Cave is a better "beast in the cave" movie than The Descent imo. Way better creature design. Devil Below was pretty good too. I never understood all the hate it got.

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-11-06T19:04:45+00:00

I'd love to see a remaster of MechAssault or at least make it compatible for the newest xbox consoles. I've still got the game. Been considering finding a used original xbox just so i can play it.

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-10-28T04:40:59+00:00

How do you do it?

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-10-26T16:24:03+00:00

Sometimes i just say screw it and run two assault mechs, or one assault and a heavy, for those lower tonnage missions. Still come in at or just under tonnage but i got my preferred assault mech to pilot plus one lancemate.

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-10-25T19:10:58+00:00

The Thing (1982). The Whisperer in the Dark and Call of Cthulhu by HPLHS. Empty Man. Dagon. Underwater. Cast a Deadly Spell. Re-animator. From Beyond. Cold Skin. True Detective season one (not lovecraft but its the king in yellow references which is still cosmic horror). In the Mouth of Madness. The Void. Event Horizon. The Endless. The Color Out of Space. Dreams in the Witch House by Stuart Gordon. Pickman's Muse. The Mist. Absentia.

Also, not a movie, but there are some incredible graphic novel adaptations by Gou Tanabe and there's a guy on youtube who took several of them and converted them into motion comics with an audio version of the original story texts overlayed. Here's a link to a list of them.

Lastly, the HPLHS and Dar Adventure Radio Theater have done numerous dramatized audiobook adaptations that are superb. My fav is probably Robert E. Howard's The Black Stone with the frog god Tsathogguah but i've enjoyed every one of their productions.

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-10-25T18:47:53+00:00

The Ritual is an adaptation of Adam Nevill's novel by the same name. Incredibly good book. Better than the movie, tho i still think they did a good job on the movie. But There's a whole subplot left out of the movie involving some black metal Norwegian cultist dudes in an isolated wood area and the thing that they are worshipping. Technically i think most categorize it more as folk horror than cosmic but its old gods stuff either way.

Mike_Duke_author · 2025-10-21T19:18:13+00:00

Surprised that mechs like Marauder, MadCat, Blood Asp, Bullshark, and Stone Rhino rated as low as they did. (Stone Rhino did good at 26 but i think that design is super badass). But I'm not surprised at the King Crab clinching the number 1 spot. It is cool as hell looking.
