MechWarrior Online: Maelstrom238 Gets Educated by The One And Only Batwing

First time MechWarrior Online player, Maelstrom238, joins us (Gimpy, Batwing, and Malagoth) for some training on how to play MWO. Gimpy's mic is broken, but Batwing and Malagoth take over and do an amazing job of educating Maelstrom. It was a fun experience listening to a first time player deal with UI 2.0, piloting the mechs, and oh so many questions. :)

Before Maelstrom joins us, Batwing and I discuss which mech Batwing should get next. Unfortunately, you can't see what I'm typing in TeamSpeak. :(

 Due to the length of the video (over 2 hours), I can't export it to YouTube. But, you can watch it on Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/gimpy21/c/3792248

Maelstrom tells us his gaming history at approximately 00:10:00
Maelstrom tries to add Batwing to his Friend list at approximately 00:20:00

Gimpy's Mechs

Lately, people have been asking me about how many mechs do I have, what are my favorites, etc., I finally created a little spreadsheet and copied all of my Mech Stats from my MechWarrior Online Profile. It doesn't completely sync up with the numbers in my Base Stats page, but that's PGI's fault. Not mine. :D

You can view the spreadsheet by clicking "Gimpy's Mechs" above. Try not to laugh too hard. :P

MechWarrior Online: Victor Hero Mech, Dragon Slayer VTR-DS, In Action

I will be putting a series of videos here where I pilot the Victor Hero Mech, Dragon Slayer VTR-DS, with two AC5 and two PPC. It's "meta" build and makes me feel dirty, but it is fun. :D

The below video takes place in Terra Therma where I get 5 kills and 1 assist on 416 damage.


In the below video I get my highest damage output to date in any mech while in a Canyon Network match. I get 5 kills and 6 assists on 1370 damage. Oh, and my mic was broken so I don't worry about talking to my teammates. I need to be off mic more often. :D

MechWarrior Online: Ilya Muromets, CTF-IM, In Action

MechWarrior Online: Highlander HGN-733 In Action

In an effort to not be sucked in to the current meta builds of 2 PPCs and 1-2 ACs on a jumpjet equipped mech, I built this Highlander HGN-733 with 1 LB-10X, 2 Large Lasers, and 4 SSRM2 (with a Beagle Active Probe too). It turns out to be a pretty decent brawler that can deal with any size mech thanks to the mixed weapon package.

In the below video I get 2 kills and 8 assists on 503 damage in Forest Colony.

MechWarrior Online: Atlas AS7-D with 2 AC5 and 2 ER Large Lasers In Crimson Stait Assault

A Death's Hand Brigade group of 3 assault mechs and 1 medium mech assault the enemy base while our PUGs hold off the enemy at our base. We eliminate the defensive turrets and capture the enemy base to win the match.

I am piloting an Atlas AS7-D (one of my Founder's mechs) with two AC5, two ER Large Lasers, and two Medium Lasers.
