I've been playing at Ralph's MechForce since it first came out, and it has 
never ceased to amaze me.  I love the graphics and stuff, but some of it does
leave much to be desired, like no drop ships, and the same terrains almost all
the time.  

Well, about two weeks ago, I saw this article in the local 'newspaper' as they call it, and found an article about BattleTech.  It was basically a huge video
game with multiple terminals the size of like the sit down Star Wars games at 
the local video game place.  3-D graphics and stuff.  Big screen and I believe
a full body suit.  Looks really cool, but cost mega-bucks.  Has anyone seen 
this?  I believe it was in Texas or somewhere.  

There is also a movie coming out about BattleTech.  Its called Tech Jocks or 
something like that.  Looks like they really put a lot of money into it
(Sarcasm).  If anyone has seen this movie, wanna give the rest of us a hint and
tell us how bad (or good) it was?
