Mech Startup

[Strapped McGee]

I know, when you least expect it is when it's the best.

Some other sound ideas:

Empty recycle bin:  "Enemy Mech Destroyed."
Maximize window:  "Targeting."
Error:  "Approaching critical heat level."
Critical stop:  "Heat level critical, shutdown imminent."
Shutdown:  "Shutting down."

if anybody has all of these i would appreciate a link

May I suggest this little sound for Shutting Down?

It's the shutdown sequence sound from StarSiege. If you want any other sounds from StarSiege for your Windows or anything else, just ask.

I believe the links are on the first page...thats where I got them from

it would be awesome to hear gears start turning, the fusion reactor coming online...but I would keep it simple to start like 1 button

I love you guys...Who would have ever guessed there are now a hundred people who climb into a battlemech every time they press the power button on their computer...total immersion.  When I get back to the states and my lady hears about this...haha...So worth it.

[~SJ~ Amarus]

Well we do our best, to say the least.

Where are you now? No one wants to be far from their lady long...at least I wouldn't lol

[Zenner]

Ah....Yeah, Afghanistan actually.  Been away for quite awhile, got about 3 months left.  Been a rewarding experience but I'm definitely ready to go home.

Also, I get a little giddy every time I can start my computer up now.  I've joined the crowd.

Military or civilian contractor?

Welcome to the club!  Your not anywhere near Dahaneh are you cuz I hear the Marines are bringin down the hammer there, hells yeah! I'm tired of all the "omg were losing" stuff just let the military do what it does best!

Military.  I'm a chinook flight engineer...which means I get to come back to a main post every night and have nice privileges like decent internet where I can do things like use Skype, check email, or lurk around forums like a giddy fanboy on a pretty regular basis.

Naa, I'm at Bagram airbase.  the boys stationed at Kandahar and a few other places down south got to have THAT fun.  There's really not a whole lot of Marines here...we carry every individual that moves over 50 miles in this part of the country, and in the time I've been here I've moved a total of about 60 marines...they do business elsewhere.

[Spyro]

what branch are you then?

[KorJax]

I'd reckon standard Army if he's flying chinooks (or apart of a chinook crew).

AFAIK Air Force only deals with plane-tech, I believe.  Choppers and stuff are used by Army/Marines/Navy/etc

Could be wrong.

[Zenner]

Yup, Army.  I'm National Guard though, attached to the 101st.  My unit is spread out over 3 locations to supplement the active army numbers...at least, as they see it...we really run the other two locations.
