Another game I wish I could have played, but not as bad as Shadowrun.

The RPG, or the PC/Console game?

RPG.  Never had the budget for Tabletop Games.  The PC Games...  My rigs were always ghetto.  :(

The MechWarrior RPG is one that I bought back in the day, but about that time the people I was hoping to game with decided that they were giving up gaming for drinking/studying/women. I think I have it and and a few BattleTech books boxed up in my "RPGs that I never played" collection - it's a pretty big box. :(

Yeah.  :(

I keep telling myself "one day, when I'm established somewhere and settled, and find the right group, I'll be gaming all the time", but that one day is still to arrive...

Do you know about MegaMek? O.o
You don't need any kind of budget to play that.
And it's on java, you don't even need much of a computer to play it either . .

A light Mech (30t) that only moves 3/5(there are 100t Mechs moving 4/6), that has a single AC10 and a light Laser for Weapons. And not much Armor for that weight class either.

Not sure which UrbanMech you're looking at. The UM-R60 moves 2/3 and has 91% armor capability, with a good balance of armor on the front and rear torsos.
Power corrupts.
Absolute power is kinda neat.

I may have been giving the little critter more than it's actually worth . . could not believe a 30t mech would only have 2/3 movement . . hell, the Annihilator has 2/3 and in some versions 3/5 <.<
