ah what a GREAT movie. i thought the series sucked tho.

[FlakCannon]

Always been a fan of science fiction that involves robotics of some kind.  I've always loved terminator, and would say Terminator 2 is my favorite movie.  

I played a little bit of MW4, and Mech Commander.  I'm also really enjoying Mechwarrior Online.

Anime_

Anime, yes.
anime was what started all this so it's basically you either like anime or you like something that got inspiration from anime.

EVA, Gundam, TTGL, Godannar etc.
But why I got my eyes on this game is because it's basically Steel Batallion without the cockpit accessorie kit.

This particular youtube video got me into Armored Core, and that's when my Mech career suddenly kicked off with a rocket start about two years ago.

Pure random , friend sent link for game

Gundam got me started.

Armored Core kept me going.

My mech-love reached a boiling point as I watched New Getter Robo.

[Muhdic]

I'm not really a big fan of mecha but I thought the mech in District 9 was awesome.

Used to play my cousins in that Gundam fighting game for the PS1... Zone of the Enders helped it along.

I'm usually not a huge mech fan (I prefer PVE games and infantry combat), but an acqaintance from TV Tropes nagged me into playing Battletech (the tabletop version) with him, and some campaigns of Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries later and his incessent braying about getting me into HUKEN!!!, I gave in and downloaded this and MWO.

I regret nothing.

Being such an avid Mechwarrior fan [except for MWO :P ] who also used to do pen-and-paper role play, I've always wanted to try the legit Battletech game, but just haven't gotten around to it. I'm curious as to where you could even find it now..._

i think, every boy / girl is stunned by his / her first look at a robot or manned machine...
...after lots and lots of mechanical influence, this following little piece found its way in my PSX and just got my heart lit up ^^ ( by now an 'ancient' piece itself, but years ago it was surprisingly new and fresh ^^  ).

What Odin said, but someone also ported the board game for USE ON THE INTERASS:

You'll need friends, and it lags on occasion, but it's good.
