Man, I have my hopes FIRMLY up, so I hope this turns out to be something amazing.
Oh lord. I may have done a little sex wee.
For all I know it’s an email harvesting site. In which case, well done to them, because I signed up for it immediately.
If this is the next iteration of mech commander I will asplode.
Call me when that TotalBiscuit guy asks the question in the thread title.
Isn’t this that Facebook game that was announced a while ago?
I’m also hoping it’s Mech Commander, and not some mamsy-pansy free to play bull shit but a full on single and multiplayer experiene (or if only one of those is possible - single player).
I would guess not, since whatever this is won’t be announced until that count down timer expires.
All that anyone seems to know is that it’s a F2P game, but at least it’s not Facebook (per a PR rep). I’d be prepared for microtransaction hell, but a Mech Commander style of game seems like it would fit well within a F2P environment.
A LoL with Mechs? That would essentially grant someone free access to my wallet.
This sounds a lot like the free-to-play mech gameusing the World of Tanks model for equipment and crew upgrades discussed a bit at the end of this thread.
Edit: checking the link to Dan Theman’s article confirms these are different games put out by the the same publisher.
Took the words out of my mouth. :)

Free to play? god dammit
Meh. I’ll register anyway.
Why do you hate freedom, Brian?
Don’t forget ponies. Brian fucking hates ponies.
I got the name I wanted. So there’s that. And a spam email account just in case.
Ponies suck.
20ish minutes to the reveal! I hope it is good.
Okay, now what?
I dunno, but that is a pretty sweet picture.
