This was the first story I had written after many years of hiatus. I banged it out in about five hours, expecting when I uploaded it to recieve a few thumbs up and maybe some light critique. I certainly didnt expect Vox to request that he be allowed to narrate it for his channel; but im immensely grateful, if he hadnt than I might not have been inspired to continue writing after that. I based the story loosely from Jack London's "To Build a Fire," and drew inspiration from Irvine Welsh's "Marabou Stork Nightmares." I recommend both: the horrors of battletech and warhammer's universes pale in conparison to the fury of nature and the darkness which dwells in mortal hearts. Thanks again to Vox for bringing my stories to life through his voice.

@KageRyuu6 10 ай бұрын

Assuming a Panther 9R, because I can't see a pirate desperate enough to put 2 AC2s onto a mech having access to standard tech. Either he removed the SRM4 and 3 SHS, or he was rocking all of .5t of Armor. Either case he was not contributing to that fight much at all.

@jiriz0r 10 ай бұрын

Might be the 10P from MWO. Uses endo and an XL engine and downgrades the SRM to a 2 to fit those AC/2s but iirc it’s non-canonical.

The use of music you do is amazing. From the doom style heavy metal of the khorne videos, to the spaced out, wistful realisation of how isolated the mechwarrior truly is, followed by the growing tension as he gradually accepts how bad his situation is.

I wanna hear an audiodrama from the Clanner’s pov at Tukayyid, and have it play out like a desperate war story, maybe from the pov of the Steel Viper clan as they’re forced to be grounded and swamped, outnumbered and surrounded by ComStar forces as they get picked off one by one. A reverse of this could be the famed last stand of the Royal Black Watch during Amaris’ Coup, from the pov of one of the last 9 Mech pilots up until the nukes drop on em, ending with their mech’s fist being the relic found in the aftermath, it’d be a badass story to narrate

@@relight6931 Giddy just refers to either dizzying feeling or something exciting (as if feeling dizzy due to all the excitement). “Giddy with pure delight!” is a line from VITV’s narration of “no good deed” by Tod Townsend… That line has made itself home in my mind. And now, anytime words “giddy” or “delight” are used my mind just blinks to that line.
