Knew MechTech at one of the locations. He mentioned doing some work on the audio, but I didn't know enough to really understand what he was creating. One of the best nights was going a few rounds with some really great players, then finishing downstairs at the Baja Beach Club. Three decades of tech advancement, and there's still nothing that really lives up to the Battletech pods. Gen2 was exactly as described in the article: an advancement, but it didn't really look like it. My last exposure to Gen2, there was still some lag that today's processors and LANs would easily eliminate. They were always ahead of the curve. Still have my Battletech Center ID card (ID 14818, FB 3/7/91).
