Well, I wanted to include some variation on the video arcade scene from the original HL, and the combat game I've been playing most lately has been MechWarrior 4, so it seemed the logical choice. Plus, I find the idea of a sorta-MMOish MechWarrior game intriguing. It would inevitably be (as Nene notes) kinda light on roleplayers, but the possibilities would be there.

Oh, it's dreadfully inconvenient. Fortunately, technology comes to the rescue; the same nanocleaners that special-forces soldiers and cops with permanent armor mods use to avoid "armor funk" work well in this application also.

Still, it's dead annoying. Sometimes he lies awake at night thinking about hot tubs.
