Cohh put out 32 videos worth of YouTube footage - more content than most YTube LP seasons get over the course of an entire year - in just a couple of days, before the game was even out.
He is more hardcore about BattleTech despite being new to the IP than most of the supposedly hardcore grognards.
Well, this was a really good stream! Lots of action and next we get a story mission.

I like that Bombadil is taking so many side Missions. We already saw Cohh progress to the embargo limit, now we get to see a different pace and focus from Bombadil. : )
Yeah, despite the miscommunication that led to a lot of people waiting around for hours for the stream to start, it ended up being the best stream of BattleTech that I have watched so far. Daeron answered a lot of questions for the audience and it is hard to match his enthusiasm for the game and the IP. Then there was also the announcement of the documentary that he is producing in honor or 35 years of BattleTech which was followed by an announcement that NGNG will be giving away BattleTech swag such as coasters and perhaps jackets, steins and banners between now and the game release. They just have to wait for the merchandise to arrive from HBS. All in all, it made for a very late and very entertaining night.
One thing Bombadil can illustrate that Cohh couldn't is the effect of reputation on market prices. Cohh never took enough missions to get his faction rep above 8 with the Arano Restoration (and per another post of mine, I'm fairly sure that rep degenerates over time). Bombadil can take enough missions that he can explore the numbers.
Over this next few missions, if memory serves, he has a chance to raise Reputation with the Magistracy... if he can manage to sacrifice some of Salvage likely to come his way. Let's hope he gives it a shot and cozies up to Canopus.
Yeah, Cohh even showed up in the Paradox Stream chat from earlier today and did a nice "let's get hyped!!!" schtick for the game too (you know, 'I'm going through withdrawls' and 'can't wait till the 24th when we can dive in big-time' type stuff). That was above and beyond.
He's doing a great job and the complaints about his tactical play aren't even so viable for his later footage given how much better he got (though, unfortunately, he handicapped himself by under-gunning his mechs...c'est le Mechlab).
Alternately, he advantaged himself by gaining an up-Armored and closer-to-Heat-Neutral Lance. : )
I was OK with his Kintaro if I'm recalling the specifics correctly, but the PPC mechs were overly conservative. It's like my Grandma' used to say: if you can't overheat by Alpha'ing for two rounds, you're doing it wrong.
I think he was just overcompensating for not really managing his weapons and overusing Jump Jets.
That said, I love what Cohh brings to the table here and I'm sure he'll get a handle on it soon given how far he's come.
Ahhhhhh... this is where some finely honed PvP Combat Trials would really come in handy. With both players trading off Mechs after a pair of bouts and going for a best of five!I was OK with his Kintaro if I'm recalling the specifics correctly, but the PPC mechs were overly conservative. It's like my Grandma' used to say: if you can't overheat by Alpha'ing for two rounds, you're doing it wrong.
