Occured to me that I never did one of these... I think. You might remember me from such events as "Can't Crono in sunlight" and "Chrono got blowed up by a pistol" haha. I occasionally help run the chrono station I got into airsoft about... probably 9 months or so ago. My now-ex-girlfriend brought me along one day and I got hooked. Turns out the hobby lasted longer than she did, lol. I generally use a SIG-551 or SIG-556 with high-caps cause I'm lazy, and not into milsim stuff. I always run green. Why, you might ask? Well, generally speaking the more experienced players and current-and-former Service members tend to use their old gear.... which puts them on tan.  I do loves me a challenge. I used to wear an East German uniform (German Rain camo pattern I think is what it's called), but I recently switched to green tiger stripes. I try to be really friendly on the field, and am always more than willing to incorporate new or inexperienced people into my grand schemes (muahahaha), or give advice if I happen to know something about the subject, etc. I am also a MASSIVE NERD. Hence my callsign. My last name is actually just "meisner" lol. I do loves me some computer games. But not call of duty. I've always been more of a battlefield fan, the rare times I play a FPS. I tend to gravitate more towards strategy games and flight sims. Also, if you hear a guy complaining about "After the game I have to go home and change into my work clothes and go to work" that'd be me. I currently have a night-time weekend job, and that's currently my favorite thing to complain about. However, it keeps my hobby funded, so it's not that bad. Good hunting |

*EDIT* Is there some trick to adding an avatar? Each timeI try, after I click "modify profile" to save the changes, it blanks the avatar field, and nothing shows up...

They used to be all over, the virtual world center in Walnut creek, CA would pass them out like candy during the tournaments. Think i still got my 50 and 100 mission pins. Mostly Jade Falcon and Federated Commonwealth, House Kurita patches always went quickly.

Don't worry dave, we're just talking about nerdy video game/tabletop game stuff haha. Cali I may have a solution for the both of us I remembered TrenchRaider got some custom patches done, and he said they were good quality and affordable from this site: www.qualityembroideredpatches.com/ so I'm getting a quote for a 3x3 Nova Cat patch (is 3 inch diameter normal size for a circular patch?), so if they come back with a reasonable quote, I'll let you know. You might could get a Northwind Highlanders patch after all ;P |

They quoted me $36 for a single 3" Nova Cat patch, plus $5 shipping. I'm probably going to get one, but mostly because my job pays well enough to let me spend more than I should on stupid little things, lol.

Yea, it is. Oh well. It'll pretty much be one of a kind though It would probably be a lot cheaper per unit if I got a batch of them, but since it's a single patch, I wasn't too surprised at the cost. |

You poor soul.... hahaha. Mechwarrior is a video/tabletop game (started out as tabletop, then they made some very good computer games about it) where you pilot giant robots (mech's) to destroy your opposition. This is what the poster child for mechwarrior mechs looks like: jmstevenson.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/mechwarrior41.jpg |

I did once at a friend's house, but i was like 8 years old, lol. My first real MW game was Mechwarrior 2. Clan Wolf ftw haha. It's also funny that because of that, I first learned most of the mechs by their clan names. Timber wolf, mad dog, dire wolf, jenner, kitfox, summoner, etc. Hehehe.

Later we discovered the Virtual Worlds around the release on MW2 on PC. We started traveling to the different VW around Texas, bought MW2. I custom painted some of the miniatures, but never played the tabletop game til the click mechs came out, got into those big and even used them in my 3rd grade classroom to make math awesome! I bought every PC game as soon as they came out, even if our computer couldn't run it, I just held onto it til we could afford to upgrade! I've started teaching my own kids how to play the click game! There's a place in Houston that still runs the pods from Virtual World. We should take a road trip |
