Time for the man's prayer:
I am a man,
But I can change,
I guess,
If I have too.
Amen
I imagine the job interview for the Slaughter Division is a 1 hour conversation with Scrombles. If you still want to join after talking to someone that has had every part of his body blown apart by mech combat and stapled crudely back together by periphery medics, you are either one of three things: So truly desperate that you see Scrombles and think "This is an improvement over where I am likely to wind up, he at least has people who care enough to keep him alive"; so utterly numb and jaded that conversing with someone whose brain is 54% shrapnel by weight doesn't faze you and are thus unlikely to balk at any mission; so monstrously overconfident that when the results of this life are staring you in the face your response is "well, I'll be fine"; or a mix of the three. And for a merc outfit that builds its mechs around "Hey, this sounds funny", considers taking cover to be poor sportsmanship, and is currently at war with the Taurian Concordat, well, those personality traits are more important than anything else.
or the 4th personality type
be as deranged and unhinged as scrombles himself
Yes
This comment made my day xD
@@CaptainPrincess Nobody can be as deranged as Scrombles, he is on another level to mere mortals.
If it keeps me in C-Bills…
He eventually going to have to be installed in a mech like a titan princeps
"Grand Titan, march."
"Uh, Boss? You're in a 'mech, not a God-machine. You gotta do the work."
"Silence, heretic!"
"... Don't make me call ComStar."
get that WoBly tech, direct neural interface and you're off to the races
For The Scromperor!
Tex watches a lot of Canadian TV shows, now lets all bow our heads for the man's prayer.
Can't wait for the Marauder episode of Tex Talks BattleTech.
Wonder what faction had the most of them.
I do enjoy the marauder.
@@mikecampos1193comstar for sure
Tex, "I could win, or I could tenderize my mechawarriors in their own cockpits? Option B it is!"
Oh no, they destroyed the ammo for the one weapon where cramming the barrel full of scrap-metal is an option.
Whatever shall you do without your iron watermelons.
I hear girders make good projectiles.
Skedaddle, skamiss, your pilot's now swiss. New favorite quote.
Oh man, that 48:00 mark when that Locust came up to you and kicked you in the shin, I started cry-laughing. Just, Scrombles looks down from about 50 feet above, says, "Really? OK, let's do this." and just *PUNTS* that thing into low orbit.
I would have offered him a job, with size of the balls on that pilot!
@@Pistol-ve6ji I had a locust kick my pilot who was in a FUCKING. ATLUS. That is/was the bravest human being ever born.
"You think ur so fancy and cool in your fancy tall mech with more armor weight then my mech weight huh, huh?! Well about these apples." *shin kick* @@duckfilms3662
SCROMBLES PUNCH SCORPIN
I wonder if Scrombles was the bane of that one scorpion themed Clan
You mean Clan Goliath Scorpion right? You know it's part of their tradition that they all get high on drugs.
@@Brendan1259 that's the one
Clan Scorpin and natural prey of Scrombles
Wow, passed up that CPT-K2 salvage. Whole planetary invasions were fought for catapult parts you know.
maybe, maybe not... but im sure there is a party following the Slaughter Div. celebrating like Jawas in a junkyard and scooping up the trail of assault parts that Scrombles leaves behind
Just my luck that this is posted seconds before my bedtime. I'll watch it tomorrow, and thanks, Tex. Scrombles is good stuff.
yay the adventures of Scrombles the hospital bed warmer continue \(^,^)/ hope u are doing well Tex and BPL, stay safe everyone
It's all fan service for the company nurses...
(Don't tell him. the nurses are ABB industrial bots repurposed from the Argos machine shop)
"And remember if they don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy"
I haven't heard a Red Green reference in years. lol
That locus pilot was crazy. And that simple *punt*. Made my day. The whole thing about salvaging enemy hardware when you got really big gun. Get a round in the cockpit or break the leg. I always find it hilarious when you just blind and cook a pilot with pulse laser.
Battletech: The Tale of Scrombles, Episode 25
*The Return of Scrombles.*
How about...When Scrombles attack!
The rescrombling!
Hey Tex I was playing Battletech with the 'mods' loaded on and you popped up as a pilot to hire and I noted one thing.
....the 'Tex' in the game NEVER misses a hit on an Urbanmech!
Its like he has a magic bullet for Urbies!
Now witness the firepower of this built to cost and initial operating capability battle-station !
Alright. Listening to Tex play Battletech while I play my own Battletech. Nice.
Dude SAME
Finishing up on this fantastically narrated series. Scrombles, named because his brains are scrombled. He comes in a deviled shell of destruction. He's a hard boiled warrior who's skills are no yolk. There is no sunny side, he doesn't go over easy. He is hard to beat.
There is more to come sir, more to come
yass, battletech!
Well, I guess sleep can wait for a while
Binged a lot of episodes of Scrombles' misadventures after watching the Godfather yet again. Ever since, everytime you say you're going to give them the business I always think of how they pronounce it in the movie
Professor Tex, just so you know, I've started making Earl Grey iced tea lol
Good
😁😁😁
Wait, this is a thing? Oh shit, will it work as sun brewed tee? Or is that gonna trash it?
@@codyblea3638 dunno. I made it in a pot lol
Yay! Tex finally got Scrombles out of the ball pit. You had to use the fiesta pail threat or stuffed crust pizza?
both
@@theblackpantslegion
Stuffed crust fiesta pail pizzas? I shudder at the thought.
Rise Scrombols, Even in Death you still serve.
Lol!! The Red Green reference 😂😂
I know right? Who knew that this little Canadian gem made it so far down south? lol
Another episode, another Scrombles injury.
“Scrombles Punch!”
Whenever I read those words, I feel the same energy as Bizarro talking
Holy shit! An american making a Red Green reference!!!
God Damnit Tex! You are one properly cultured beautiful bastard!
the gauss+ac20 salvo that broke every single location on one of the enemy mechs was a treat to watch
“Skedadle Sk’miss, your pilot is now Swiss!!!”
Hey Tex.
The HBS Battletech game is pretty much what I was yearning for back in the mid 1980's. Sort of like playing the tabletop game, but on a computer. I just wish it had not taken 40 years to get to it. I remember playing just about every B-Tech game there was, excepting for Crescent Hawks Revenge.
I thought that Mech Commander and Mech Commander II were 'okay', but still very limited. The HBS Battletech game is far closer to what I envisioned so long ago, and probably why I still am a member of the 'Fans of Big Stompy Robots' club.
Now, about today's video... YAY! More Scrombles!
Two Annihilators walk into a bar. Bar owner files for total replacement of his bar with his insurance under 'act of war'.
Annihilator armed with multiple AC-10's: Pilot fingers the firing button, "Ah yes, the Delete Mech button".
Same here! Actually used to pilot a marauder, fought in the battletech pinnacle in gen con
96 and 97.
Oh the glory days!
WOOO SCROMBLES PUNCH!
Feels weird, I've been watching baradules latest RogueTech run to tide me over between tex battletech content, I can't wait for tex to get into BTA where you can really customize your mechs to a greater degree.
I'm a Baraduls too! Good stuff from both.
...Baraduls fan to...
Tex runnin' around with a...
Wait for it...
T H I C C assault lance.
Anyways, enjoying the content as always. SCROMBLES SMASH!
the K2 might not "really be a catapult" but it is still my favourite Catapult variant
Lance Armstrong doping reference-..
Dunno Tex, think Lance had the balls to do that on his own?. 🤔
He’d at least had the ball
"Hey, boss? I can't help but notice all these mechs use guns..."
"Not true; one of them uses missiles."
"Right, right...so...I admit I only graduated salutatorian in the mech academy-"
"Wait, they teach mech stuff in school?!? Maybe I shouldn't have slept through class."
"..anyway, I was taught that mechs were supposed to have lasers; like, as a back up, or to keep mechs free from logistics, that kind of thing. Yet our mechs have...none, I think? So, uh...why?"
"Look, as long as our clients are dumb enough to keep paying for our ammo, I'm going to keep using guns loud enough break every glass in a half-mile radius. Now help me override these safeties so this gun can shoot even MORE bullets per burst."
That Red Green Show reference at the end
Scrombles, singing in ICU:
I fight while I'm drunk
I fight while I'm drunk
Destroy my heat sinks
I don't need them, you punk
I fight while I'm drunk
I fight while I'm drunk
I train like I fight
And I fight while I'm drunk!
Time for Scrombles PUNCH
On a side note. When you answer the phone with Mushi Mushi and toss in random Japanese words. (Like you only speak Japanese) Telemarketers tend to hang up on you...
In most ambushes where your suddenly flanked. The weakest part of the ambushes is the side you first made contact.
It amazes me just how often the AI targets your main characters mech over anything else.
Also I love the Trolling of the scammer who called you! I got those phone calls all too often and I just laugh because I bought my car used over a decade ago and it is currently a 23 year old Honda Accord. I love that car!
Love the Red Green outro, a real role model.
Gotta love the Red Green reference there at the end.
I have this fantastic mental image of Scrombles saying "I'm going to take the dakka one!", but he's saying it just a little bit too loudly and a little bit more slowly than he really should because of the brain damage and the shrapnel that must still be lodged in there somewhere.
Does anyone else just have these on in the background without watching while you're working for Tex's soothing rambles?
Been a long time since I last nerded out over Battletech, but you make it fun and easy to slide right back into it. Cheers!
Thanks!
@@theblackpantslegion Kudos to you for looking this far down on the posts! not asskissing when I say this. I do see the date in comparison to this post.
I have an Annihilator in this game with 3 +20 damage UAC20s and does about 150ish damage per shot. It is a beautiful thing when you can easily core a fresh atlas with 40-60% damage reduction in a single alpha strike.
So, Trailer Park Boys and Red Green quotes so far. Tex, I am impressed.
Greetings from The Scrombles! The Lord Scrombles! The Warrior of the Periphery! The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla! SCROMBLES!
So we all know that Scrobles loves his applesauce, but has anyone informed him he can also get choco pudding while in medbay?
"If they don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."
Now where have I heard that before?
How much duct tape do you got there, Tex?
I love The Red Green Show.
*_What's the Scrombles Maneuver you say? Well... Let's just say... Total.. SCROMBULATION!!!_*
Love the Red Green mention at the end...
FIRST! Yass scrombles
SCROMBLES PONCH
@@theblackpantslegion scrombles scramble
I love watching these as Im heading to bed, but the intro/outro music keeps ripping me out of sleep lol.
The scrombulation declaration, "though shalt be blasto'd"
I really, really miss MW2:Mercs. Gave those damn clanners what for on Luthien.
The only other Mechwarrior moment that comes close for me is taking the fight to Nondi and "Katrina" in MW4:Mercs.
Quality moments, both
Hell yeah, such good moments
Locust to Javelin "Mech-Boy's got nads!"
With a Mech name like "Ack Ack" you would think it would be packing LBX-20's :). HINT HINT
We would like to discuss your 'mech's extended...
Wait, Mr. Scrombles? Sir? Sir, please don...don't chew the phone. That's super bad for you.
Good work selling back scammers false hope Tex. I do the same and it brings me great satisfaction. I once managed to hold one of them on the line for just under 30 minutes.
Not strictly a Cataphract, but I do have a certain fondness for the CES-3R Caesar. Though, that might be because the first BattleTech novel I ever read was *Double Blind* by Loren L. Coleman, and that was Marcus GioAvanti's ride.
Scrombles Hide?
Scrombles No Hide!
Scrombles PUNCH.
What would Red Green’s mercenary company look like? Racing stripes of duct tape?
Love me some battletech. All the best to you Tex
All the Mannitol in the world isn’t going to fix Scrombles.
When the extended warranty people call me I tell them I tell them I own a 1985 chocolate starfish when they ask what kind of car I drive.
Something that I've noticed when it comes to recent BPL videos, the sound is incredibly low on them. My laptop is at max volume and your voice is basically a whisper in the wind most of the time. Meh, will watch/listen to this video on my TV later.
It's hard to balance sound sometimes. My apologies.
Scrombles, scrambles eggs...smash!!!
Notification just popped up showing me this. Stoked to watch this soon.
Wow. That was a while go. Way to go youtube.
@@theblackpantslegion I knew you were going to say that. Ha!
Tex I implore you to try the "Snub PPC" this game does them very differently from the tabletop (They're apparently a SPOILER weapon)
The phone scam story was great.
Love The Red Green reference Tex
"after we put Scrombles' brain back in-"
I mean, you *can...* But why?
The mods have tuned-up the guts of roguetech quite a bit - to the point that it runs smoother than vanilla ever did.
Turkey and scrombles. What a meal
Thank you, Tex.
thanks Tex been having a bad week this made me feel better!
also looking forward to the next Tex talks now!
feel better bud
@@theblackpantslegion will do bud !
What a treat! Scrombles!
AC/20 round to the cockpit is a bad time.
I like to put them there for good luck, would would like one?
Credits, bwaa haa haa. Thanks for the laughs Tex, hour 14 (13 working 1 hour transit between job 1 and 2, on first hour of 6 doing homework (political Philosophy, Histography, English paper.) I have a full a coke, half of my last dose of Ritalin, it's dark, and I'm wearing cheaters. Hit it.
As soon as i ever see a Jagermech its like ..... free kill.
Hey capellans are awesome maximilian liao was misunderstood lol
I tried staying in the good graces of the Pirates, just so I could have Black Market access without asinine markup. But it finally just got to be too much, and I settled for alliances with Canopus and Davion.
It's Scrombles time!
Ben Hur had 2 oopsies. Red car in the back ground and an extra left his wrist watch on...
Dont take so long between episodes. I love the commentary....oh the action ok too.😁
Seems like your mech jockeys decided to shoot everything
*EXCEPT* the parts you told them to focus fire...
Poor Marauder :.(
SCROMBLES PUNCH!
"Missile equiped Jägermechs, some of these guys are scraping the bottom of the barrel..."
*timmidly raises hand
I made one but only until I got my hand on a Catapult/Stalker, I swear! And that was year ago, before the DLC and before I even had an idea on what the fuck I was even doing....
Obligitory 'SCCCROOOOOOMMMBBBLLLLES'
Make a quick run to Kimi for replacement gauss ammo. They also occasionally have gauss rifles. Have to go to Taurian space for gauss++ though.
Also, when dealing with Demolishers, use a called shot to the side. Percent hit chance is excellent if you have tactics 9, and side armor is weak. 4 LLasers are enough if they all hit the same side.
Those poor locusts... :D
“Fuck them scammers.”
~Tex
Hey Tex, if you read this, serious question: what TTRPG would you like to see Harebrained Schemes make into a game next?
Outside of original content, I really feel they'd do *Deadlands* justice. As one of the few game devs that have shown they understand tabletop games (and haven't been devoured by a larger company yet to my knowledge), I would love to see their take on the Weird West (and obviously the modding community expansion on that).
I always get the extended warranty guys with my works 1988 f700 garbage truck, but I only start out with the fact that I have a ford truck. Make them pry out the fact that it’s an f700 and too old for there program. Then when they ask if I have a different vehicle I swap to the Chevy 3500 1ton. Also too old. Then the newer 3500. Still to old. I’ve gotten through every vehicle my work owns before. My plan is to make them take me off there list rather then ask to be taken off.
Tell them you have a Buick. An old Buick. From 1945. Model? Hellcat. ;)
Comstar approves of fucking with scammers.
Am I the only one waiting for scrombles in fallout 2, electric boogaloo?
Roguetech chugs everyhere.
BEX Commanders Edition is great. I've been taking on the clanners and it's a slogfest. King Clamps with 2x gauss rifle and an ECM suite.... only way to keep them from just slaughtering all my mechs...
Gravity's Rainbow= Gravity's Union + The Black Rainbow?
