Escapist Podcast: 101: More Pacific Rim & Game Franchises

[dakkster]

Dear baby Jesus, I'm cringing my face off... Here we have four people who are self-proclaimed nerds and several are even heavy into stuff like Evangelion, BattleTech and whatnot... yet only one of you refer to these monstrosities as mechs. They are not goddamn robots. Robots don't have pilots. What you're talking about HAVE pilots, ergo they are not robots. Your nerd cards have been revoked.

Also, will someone please make Justin stop saying "nucular"?

That was surreal...

I was googling the Dresden Files for a friend... and then someone mentioned it.

Wooo!

 

[MaryKamikaze]

This is hysterical....

I pilot Middle Phoenix with the secret weapon the..... Slam Uterus.

Quickly Downey, with its fearsome Blaster Forearm!

As for the Gundam stuff, the only one that really had the feedback, barring some kind of unique prototype experimental computer (ZERO system, EXAM system, etc.), was G Gundam; what with that being the only way you can do martial arts in a Mobile Suit.

Jaeger name: Happy Draper
Superweapon: Electric Wrist

Like an electrified wrist blade, Assassin's Creed style? Not sure how easy it will be to blend in the a Jaeger crowd.

Or maybe like the Russian in Iron Man 2 with electric whips tethered around the wrists -- that would be sick.

I pilot the Grand Columbus, fully equipped with an Electric Toe!

As far as new games go ... how about a mashup ... Grand Theft Speeder: Coruscant City?
