Boobies!
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I just picked up Front Mission 4 which is a Tactical RPG from Square for only $15 today.  Just imagine FF Tactics but with mechs you customize instead of a Job System.

PS2, it's over a year old and I only picked it up because of the price and it was the last copy in stock.

I played through a few missions yesterday and it's not as good as FF:Tactics and there are some annoyances with your mechs arms getting blown off and you having no weapons of any type left to use, but not bad for the price.

In the old Mechwarrior PC game we used to put all our weapons in the torso, and fill the arms with heat sinks. Then if they got blown off we could still shoot, even though we had to be careful about it.

Yeah, ditto.  Though, actually, I'd fill the legs before the arms.

Well just to make Fell even more annoyed at Nokia I read on gamespot today they have a WH 40k turn based game coming out 1Q 2006 that's going to be "as close to the tabletop rules as possible".  First RIFTS and now Warhammer, I think he's going to have to find a way to get a free phone from someone.

Suikoden Tactics is coming out for the ps2 in november, I'm a huge fan of the first Suikoden and didn't care much for the 3rd (never played the 2nd of 4th) so I'm hopeing this will be cool.  It dose look like it'll have all 108 possible player characters which could make it quite an intresting Tatical RPG.
