MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries (MTX free version) Installation and Setup

MekTek has released a FREE updated version of MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries that includes the latest MekPak, the Clan and IS packs, and a new installer/updater named MTX (you can get it here). Many thanks go to Smith & Tinker who recently acquired the rights to (some of) the MechWarrior videogames.

BASIC INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: This will give you a good setup for online and (MWL) League play (accurate as of 5-2010).

There is a newer patch coming out soon… I am not sure if everyone will switch to it. Look for MekPak 4 from MekTek.

Since I just changed my blog to a new engine, I figured I should get used to the way it handles uploads, images, comments, etc…So here goes: a test post with very little content.

I figured this would be a good test picture, it is the score of our most recent McRugby match against RAGE (we won). They didn’t like the way we played the game and disconnected during the 2nd round, RAGE_Epi stayed in the server so we could report and confirm scores. Much respect to Epi for this.

The Black Scorpions don’t always make friends when playing MechWarrior, we play to win and often surprise other teams with our tactics.

Updating the site… expect problems! I just changed to a new blog engine and I probably won’t bother to import all the old posts.

OK, the blog works now (well at least on the one computer I tested it on). I doubt anyone is going to read this, but what the hell… and I promise I’ll update the site soon.

Kevin brought his digital camera to practice last week and we got a few new pics of us playing. He also lined up another gig for us soon (another private party, sorry). We have been so focused on recording that it will be fun to go play these songs live (especially the new ones), not just playing the same song over and over in the studio until you get the best performance. I think the quality of the recording and songwriting is the best work that I have ever been a part of and I can’t wait until it’s finished.
