Multiple Sclerosis Fund Raising Event Thank You

I was going to duplicate my post from the MechWarrior Online message boards, but it's much too long for a blog post. So, here's the link: http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/155774-multiple-sclerosis-fund-raising-event/

Short and sweet version:
Thank you all who supported me and made donations to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society this past weekend. It is very much appreciated.

$4230 has been raised as of June 1, 2014. I'm done for this year, but next year the fund raising goal bar has been set much higher as I always try to raise more money than the year before. :D

Check Out MechWarrior Online Lobby

If you haven't heard about it yet, be sure to check out the player created MechWarrior Online Lobby. You only need to supply an email address to create an account. Since there hasn't been any news about an actual lobby for finding games when the Launch Module comes out at the end of the month, this site is going to be the place to go when you want to find other people looking for private matches in MechWarrior Online.

MechWarrior Online Lobby is still in development, but it's looking really good.

MechWarrior Online: Banshee, BCN-3S, with AC20 and 2 Large Laser In Action

Here are a series of videos where I pilot the Banshee, BCN-3S, with an AC20, two Large Lasers, and a Medium Laser. This isn't a super fantastic build, but it is a decent tanking mech because the weapon cool downs give you time to fire and torso twist as needed. Basically, it gets the job done.

The below video is a come from behind win during a Forest Colony Assault match. We end up ambushing some of the enemy at the arch/tunnel exit and then push through to crush their attempted ambush at the other end. I end up with 2 kills and 8 assist on 632 damage.

 

MechWarrior Online: Centurion, CN9-A, with 2 Medium Laser and 3 SRM6

Here are a series of videos were I pilot the Centurion, CN9-A, with 2 Medium Lasers and 3 SRM6. This build is affectionately known as the "zombie centurion" or "zombie cent" because it can lose both arms, both side torsos and continue to fight due to the medium lasers being in the center torso.

The below Assault match takes place in Alpine Peaks where I get 2 kills and 10 assists on 253 damage. My damage output is so low because of the very hectic fur ball that takes place and SRMs are not the ideal weapons for that situation.

MechWarrior Online: Atlas AS7-D with 2 Large Laser, 2 LRM10, and 2 Medium Laser In Action

This is a series of videos where I pilot my Founder's Atlas, AS7-D (F), with 2 Large Lasers, 2 LRM10 with Artemis, and 2 Medium Lasers. It's not a LRM boat or a typical high damage output build, but it can do some serious damage over the course of a match. The LRMs can be used to engage at long range while taking little damage in return. Once you get in the 180 to 500 meters range, the LRMs perform more like Streak SRMs and you get to add in your lasers for pinpoint damage to strip off  heavily damaged parts of your enemy.

The below Assault match took place in River City where I got 4 kills and 8 assists on 674 damage. 

MechWarrior Online: JagerMech, JM6-DD, with 2 PPC and 6 Machine Gun In Action

Here are a series of videos where I pilot the JagerMech, JM6-DD, with 2 PPCs and 6 Machine Guns. It's not a great build, but it can be effective and it is fun.

The video below is a Crimson Strait Assault match where I get 5 kills and 5 assists on 534 damage. I also get the Johnny Five achievement for getting 5 kills in one match. I thought I had gotten 5 kills in a match since the achievement system went live before this match, but I guess not. :D
