Greetings,

This weekend I am hosting one of my bi-annual events here at me house and will be running 8 of the Virtual World BattleTech VR pods for free. (BattleTech: Firestorm and Red Planet 4.11)

If you are interested in playing in the pods, or just want to say hello, we will get the show started arund 6PM or so this Saturday.

If you want to know more about the pods, visit www.virtualworld.com or www.getinthepods.com.

PM me for my address if you think you can make it out!

Weather permitting, we will have a fire outside as well.

these sound really cool, I was not aware they existed.

Are there any of these in the WashDC/NoVA area?

That is awesome! I would love to visit for this. My "Thor/Summoner" is always warmed up! ;)
I hope your event goes well!
 
I used to go to Navy Pier in Chicago and play this at the battle tech center, still have the "manuals" and score sheets. What an awesome experience! I don't think I will be able to make your event, but I loved playing battle tech. Do they sell these? Wouldn't mind setting this up in the ole game room...
 
Right now I cant find any available with a standing offer of $35,000 for a set of 8 as-is.

I'm guessing a set of 8 working would cost 40-60K at the moment.

Not bad for 15 year old cockpits (most were updated in 2003 though)

VirtualWorld.Com has a list of public sites.
 
Just a bump. Tonight is the night. See the BattleTech VR pods for free (8 of them).

I'll also have a 48 in 1, TRON, my playchoice 10 countertop as well as the Showcase Police Trainer in the 'pod bay'.

That is beyond cool. I used to love playing Mechwarrior 2 and Mercenaries on the PC, I can't imagine how cool it'd be to play something similar in a dedicated cockpit!
 
WOW that looks AMAZING!
I wish I would have seen this thread earlier! Please keep us posted how the event went, and of course when the next one is!
 
This does look seriously cool. Those pics look like they could have been taken a mile under ground at some secret training bunker- looks totally sweet. Please post when the next one will be- I would love to come down and experience those cockpits!
 
Would love to have came as well, but I had a pinball party to go to yesterday in Battle Creek. Used to play Battletech with a bunch of friends in college down at North Pier Mall in Chicago. Although I didn't really know what I was doing, it was always fun when we'd all gang up on one guy :D
 
I'm thinking about a small 'pod night' here before Christmas. Anyone in the area interested in coming out to try the BattleTech pods?
 
I hope to set a specific date here in the next few days.

Shooting from the hip itll likely be an evening the weekend of the 18th.
 
I know its REALLY late notice, but I'm firing up the pods tonight at 6PM. Open to all who dont suck.

I'll do it again a few more times in the next month or so. Hopefully with more notice ;)

Those look really cool, never seen that system before.I'd love to check them out next time you have a get together. ( However I've never played before so I would guess I would suck:.( )

I referring to people who suck in general, not those that play badly ;)
 
Those pods do look amazing. I don't know anything about them, but I would love to come down sometime if you have a get together and experience them. Please give us some notice next time around and I will try to make it.
