David McCallum burst through John Ringo’s office door and
started walking in circles while waving his arms around like a flightless bird
who truly believes in his heart he can fly if he only flaps fast and hard
enough. He stopped in front of the bookcase and starts frantically pulling
books off shelves and looking inside them for the ones that have hollow insides
where you can stash a bottle of booze. As the pile of empty books started to
grow into a small mountain he started to mumble a few words over and over
again. “It is history…. It is history…. It is history!!!!!! Why is the Rum gone….
Why is the Rum always gone?!!!” With that he collapsed on the floor into a
sitting position and hugging his knees to his chest started rocking slightly
back and forth in a soothing motion.
John having been in this business long enough now to recognize
the sure signs of writers block from working too hard opened his lower desk
drawer and removed a bottle of “Medicine”. This 108 Proof bottle of Rum should
put him back to rights. John walked over to David and forced his hands open and
thrust the bottle into them. With a cry of joy David took to the bottle like a
baby to his mothers breast for the milk of life its self. After 1/3 of the
bottle was gone the sounds he was making started to sound more like words. When
½ of the bottle was empty his eyes found John’s and he spoke. “Thanks Mate.
After being away so long I should have paced myself better and not rushed the
work as fast as I have been. I had just sat down to write up a review on the
105T Chassis equipment called “History” and I just snapped. Next thing I know
here we are. Well I think I need to take a break for a while.” David passes out
on the floor with a smile on his face.
John walked back to his desk and hits the button to start
recording:
Well it looks like my guest writer David McCallum needs to
take a break so I will pick up where he left off and talk to you today about
one of the Chassis options for your new Guardian that was named “History”.
The store listed this as costing 2200 Ferrite, 1000 Crystal
and 50 Niodes. What the hell? Crystal and Niodes for the same piece of gear??
So here are the good points. You get a 10% boost to your
Fork chance. You get 5% to your 2X and 10% to your 3X damage chances…. I
personally love Fork on my mechs and I will never turn down a boost to my
damage multipliers but as good as this piece starts we get to the bad points…
This equipment has a -2 speed vulnerability…. Like your BFM
Guardian needs to be any slower. Even worse than just slowing your mech down
this equipment is missing something even more important… there is nothing that boosts
your Dodge chances.
Let’s hope that as your faster foe closes in on you on the
battlefield your Vorpal Sword comes up quickly in your gun rotation so you can
100% crit him before he pounds your slow not dodging butt into the ground.
Well that is all I have for you today. Be sure to tune in
next time when David has another snappy review for your consideration. *Grin*
