MechWarrior Online Developers Chat on Twitter

Just mere moments ago, the developers of MechWarrior Online jumped onto Twitter to talk about the game. There were far more questions than the two gentlemen were able to address, but there’s loads of interesting information coming out of the chats.

Waddya Buyin’? Feeding a beast

I talked about buying myself a new laptop some months ago. Well, I’ve finally gone ahead and ordered it, and I’ll be picking it up today. All this in preparation of the eventual release of MechWarrior Online. But what this also means is that the PC gaming world is now completely open up to me, [...]

Pixel Hunt & Friends: Twittering

I had a request to put together a list of twitter names/accounts for Pixel Hunt contributors, as well as other notable Australian game writers.
