Yeah my "freakish stuff" meter is going down too, mostly because of college and other stuff. I hope that beginning Battletech Classic will bring back some of the fire

And currently it certainly does. I'm reading and working about it all the time, mostly because Battletech is representative of the good thing in my childhood. I've learned about my personal idol, Michael A. Stackpole, through Battletech and I read a lot about it...

Aaah, the good old times o' being a child.
