I always wondered how people on this forum found this game. How did you find this epicness? What did you do then?

For me i was looking for games to play on youtube and i saw a comment saying "hawken>game i was watching"  so i looked it up.
My mind went overload !   :oops:  :oops:

And that's pretty much it.

Leave your epicness of a story   ;)

I was in the Trenched section of the Double Fine forums and someone had posted this game and joked about how far trenches had come in the future.

I was on YouTube watching old Mechwarrior videos when I read a comment about Fawken.  I had actually heard about it months ago, but totally forgot about it.  But now I'm more pumped than ever!

I wandered into GameTrailers.com one day and clicked on the 'Popular Now' tab.

The preview image looked like a gritty cockpit for something and that drew me in. That debut trailer was number one for a while.

At first on Gametrailers.com and more recently while Stumbling around. I was glad to watch the gameplay trailer again and immediately subscribed to the forum

Bored as ever in my astronomy lecture and went to my IGN app on my phone (lol.) Went to the most popular stories and the top one was a two paragraph article along with a video of Hawken and I fell in love <33333

I found out about Hawken via reddit, honestly. Adhesive games will soon be allocated my funds.

Someone mentioned it on the Front Mission: Evolved Steam forums. Googled and found this site and a bunch of youtube vids.

Made it to the front page on /r/games over on reddit. Showed it to a friend who loves anything mech and he asked me about it a few days ago, so I thought I would check on progress. I love that there is another video on the blog page.

I first HEARD about it on IGDaily, but it was late at night, and I must've forgotten.

I FOUND it up today after googling "ps3 mech games" and clicking on an IGN link.

And thus, here I am now.

Saw a gameplay trailer and was hooked.

Instantly I began browing the web for all the information I could gather about this absolute indie-gem!

Anticipating the release; until then I will not be satisfied.

A friend told me about Hawken awhile back (I think he saw it on reddit or from another friend), but I waited a week before actually checking it out. I then got really obsessed with it, showed it to all my friends (including the one who originally told me about it, who surprisingly had forgotten about it) and started closely following it (which is how I managed to get in as the #20 user on the forums).

I can also save the time of ApocalypeX explaining how he found out about Hawken: I told him.

For me it was unexpected.

I saw a picture searching for mech games. Had in mind looking for the new footage of the game Armored core 5. On the google picture search found few images of this game. My curiosity pushed me to do more search finding the developers and the website of it.
