We need a Fan Parody product.
« on: April 17, 2014, 03:56:09 PM »
my brother in law turned me on to 1D4Chan... and a missed day of work later I found the Angry Marines in thier warhammer 40K section.

I had never laughed so hard in my life.

so i got to thinking, sure we have all the jokes about Battletech in various ways and forms, and we have gotten a slew of April Fools Jokes, but we have never gotten a so thoroughly silly self depreciating parody of our beloved IP.  1) why not, 2) Who would want to write one?

Didn't the old DropShip site have one that mixed BT, Highlander and memes from about 6 other Sci-Fi universes into a rather amusing tale?

It might be in Wolfcannon's thread of old sites.

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

Hmm.  Start a thread dedicated to such a project with an outline, and I'll volunteer for something.  Might be big, might be small.

I thought it was CritterTek?

Anyways, no reason not to do it again with an Arbiter spin.
