    Thats because, like @Bolththrower said, Skynet is now building itself!!!

    The earth is doomed. Judgement Day is coming and it's wearing a Seahawks Jersey.

    Ok so now we've resolved the original post topic and now that we're on tangent........

    I've been listening to this odd lil niche of music (dont really know what it is, some sort of 'synthwave' Cyberpunk junk) for about half a week now, this guy named "Mega Drive"

    Some of this guys tunes sound like they are straight from Terminator soundtrack... or at least Turrican from Sega.

    Puts out some odd retro game/scary/sci-fi tunes, a lot of it is one-dimensional and it all starts to sound the same... and honestly, I haven't heard anything particularly moving or memorable... but it's definitely throwback.

    I'll just link something random I don't remember what ones I even liked:



    Good MWO music of course. Dunno if it's got much goin for it beyond that type of vibe tho...

    I haven't heard rolling toms like this since... shit, I dunno, maybe the 16bit era? :p

    I feel like I'm in a Miami Vice boat chase scene listening to that. Maybe that meets Tron: Legacy.

    Story time is fun :p

    Has anyone considered someone is trying to multibox? Would explain why they suck, devs would not call Bots something meaningless like that either.

    Except they didn't. If you look at the thread the screen shot Jamie posted your quoted response to it looked nothing like the one posted by Ramarius.

    See below.

    That quote is also nearly a month old. I believe this to be something completely seperate :)

    I'd still take bets that this is them screwing up again ;) This is PGI we're talking about, after all.

    Haha. Your probably right, if they are bots then their naming convention is woeful.

    That is where I think the screwup came in to effect. Nobody is that incompetent to allow a team of bots to all select the same Champion mechs and have names like that. I think their... "randomizer", for lack of a better word, broke and that is how they got caught.

    I saw some interesting things in battles last night. I saw players who sucked HARDCORE get themselves killed by rushing out, stopping and standing in the middle of the field taking fire without moving. Then I saw players disconnecting and reconnecting without saying a word. From my own personal experience, from having observed things first hand, I don't believe PGI is "accidentally" running bots on the production server.

    Russ said last night he thinks it is someone trolling, and I want to believe, but frankly Russ track record for saying and doing are not exactly stellar.
