MechWarrior Online Producer Letter, Video

A quick post by MechWarrior Online producer Matt Newman offers some "plausible excuses" to some of the "fumbled" statements he provided in the recent developer Q&A. There's some humor sprinkled within, as well as a 17-second, concept-art laden video:



And a bit from his post:
Fumble # 1 (How about Hula girls? You like Hula girls right?)

Ok so the community seemed to respond to this very well, but man, I am taking the heat here at work! (You realize now they expect us to make Hula girls right?) says Garth (I don't think Hula girls are in the canon) complains another. Long sigh from a programmer then he grumbles something about (Real hula girl physics! Yeah right.) Sorry guys my bad! This was a call back to the original trailer and if you haven't seen the Hula girl in the trailer well then you haven't watched it enough. Go watch it again and while you are there subscribe to the YouTube channel.

Fumble # 2 (I can't hear you over the sound of my Hunchback's AC-10!)

That one was my fault. I cared more about the joke than the fact that the Hunchback actually has an AC-20. AC-20s are much louder than an AC-10s, No wonder I couldn't hear you. Some people were offended by my error and for that I apologize but what I liked were the people coming to my defence. Also this post is awesome: http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/315-repainted-concept-art/page__st__40__p__22427#entry22427 In fact that whole thread is awesome. http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/315-repainted-concept-art/
