Online Game, Ride your battlemechs into the fray!
 

Hi, a buddy of mine introduced me to this little online game, Techwarrior. It's look and feel is similar to the Battletech/Mechwarrior series. It's run completely off your web broswer, and it's a great distraction while your at work.

Check it out, and let me know how you like it: http://world2.techwarrior.co.uk/?ac=vid&vid=45109787

"A TechWarrior tried to recruit you, but can't recruit another Techwarrior so quickly!"

"You are now on a Mission! Pick up the spoils from your Mission here in 10 minutes. Good luck!"

I don't get to fight anything? WTF?

Well, it's more of an RPG instead of an action game. You can pick an opponent, and it gives you the results of the attack. Here's the results of a battle I won recently:

Poor guy didn't have a chance ;)

I like it. It's not something that you can do all day long, since all the actions are timed. 15 min have to go by between battles. Mercenary missions are done for an hour each day (and are the most profitable). Or you can use the job option in case you are going to be away from you computer for a few hours.

Have fun :)
