I am getting the Online Steel Battalion, anyone joining me?

Post by Lex »

Steel Battalion is that Xbox game that comes with a 40-button controller, in which you pilot "VTs", or "Vertical Tanks". These giant robots run around and kill each other in a highly skilled way.

Image

I have decided to grab the online varient of this game, Line of Contact. Will any other denizens consider also buying a copy of this game? In Britain, we can grab the second-gen controller (comes with blue LEDs instead of green), a copy of Steel Battalion & LoC all for £130. Over there I believe you'd have to buy the controller & LoC for $200, then the single-player game seperatley for $40.

Image

It's a shame more denizens don't live in the UK, or I could set you all up with 30% off.

For some idea of scale:

Image

No, this is not me; the British release is the end of next month. I will probably grab it then with Bursary money; I'll convince myself it's an investment considering what the original copies were going for on E-bay ;).

Screenshots in play:

And one of the cockpit of one of the first-gen, non-super VTs':

Robb has promised me, in some way or another, that he will, eventually, get Xbox Live. I figure if I trounce him enough in LSN we can force him into taking out a mortgage on his CC table & buying a copy. This is my wager.
WHOOA!

Pic three-

Gaming, fat feet, sweat pants and the classified section of the newspaper. IF ONLY MY UNEMPLOYMENT CASE WORKER COULD SEE ME NOW!
the last group complained, quite tellingly They said, "Why don't you have a spoon that just says 'Earth?' It would save time

Okay Worm, I'll make you a deal; when you eventually move out / get broadband at your house, I will buy you an Xbox Live subscription. I'll do this if you can do the whole finding & buying an Xbox thing. I'm sure I could also find a way to get you 30% off a copy of Steel Battalion.

These are not employees, hon, they're retards.

Well boys, I don't have a working copy of LSN right now, but I will have soon. Once I do, I will be more than glad to give you my e-mail address.

In the mean time, read this, because the Webmasterman of this place refused to DO BATTLE, we have stagnated some towards LSN.

Excuse me. Keza is the name of the main character in the book that I wrote BEFORE KAZAA WAS EVEN INVENTED, my dear ignorant Scottish fucktard. I'm warning you, I practically live in that shop, and when I find you you're getting a clip over the ear, young man! :-P
