1.Giant human controlled robot in a series of almost space opera style games, books and boardgames.
Its made from a skeleton of metal (titanium foam) and powered by a fusion reactor which gives it all the power it needs for its many weapons (missiles, lasers, autocannons, flamethrowers, etc.). The drawback is that when using a weapon the reactor has to increase the power output resulting in a wave of heat created inside the 'mech. This is the limiting factor from firing off all the weapons all the time. A human sits inside the mech, usually the head, and controls the machine via joysticks and a neuro interface much like a miniature CAT scan. The interface (basically a big heavy helmet that scans their brain) allows the driver to use their own inner ear to control the massive gyro inside the mech. This means no falling on the face. Which would suck. They usually have forward canted legs (man-walker) or backward canted legs (chicken-walker). A rare few have 4 legs. They weigh between 20 and 100 tons and, unlike anime-styled robots, the physics of the real world hold true. A 100 tonner turns like a drunken moose in the vidgames.
2. a game/book relating to the above robot.

Get the battlemech mug.A game that would be so much better if the folks at EA didn't rush the game out the door and it wasn't filled with bugs and enormous patches that seem to break more than it fixes. Don't get me wrong, the game itself is wonderful, the graphics are good and the gameplay is pretty damn addicting but the whole package itself is pretty sloppy.
Some stuff that needs to be improved that could seriously give the game a much more improved experience:
1. Widescreen support - that's right a game this popular doesn't even have fucking widescreen support even though every 3 out of 5 PC gamers have widescreen monitors.
2. Fix the horrible UI. The server browser is clunky, the filters suck, the load times are incredibly long, the pings are always never correct. Also to make any graphical changes you need to sit through the even longer loading screens when logging into a server.
3. Stats and ranking are always screwed up one way or another.
4. The patches are absolutely monstrous so install and setup times take about 3 times longer than it really should.
5. I can't stress this enough, fix the horrible UI.
6. The expansions are way too pricey for what it adds to the game(minus Special forces which nobody plays anymore).
7. Game is severely unoptimized(not a big deal now since almost any computer 2 years old can handle it on max.) so people with semi old computers will still have quite a bit of frame rate problems. Also the shadows are horribly pixelated and it looks plain old gross.
8. Population seems to be declining rapidly due to lack of support from Dice and EA.
In other words, hand the game over to a company who wants quality over quantity.

I would be hardcore into Battlefield 2 but installing the game is such a hassle, and the bugs and messy presentation really detract from otherwise an awesome fucking game.

Get the fluid battlefield mug.A specific type of headache following a night a drinking in which the sufferer feels as if, while sleeping, a battle axe was slammed in to their skull directly behind the eyes. Battle Axe Syndrome is usually brought on by drinking poor forms of alcohol such as Maddog 20/20 or Milwaukee's Best Ice. In extreme cases, a person suffering Battle Axe Syndrome may resort to wearing protective eyewear to keep their eyes from popping out of their skull or to block all light from getting in.
My head hurts so bad, if I move more than one inch my eyes might explode. Wicked case of Battle Axe Syndrome
Bill: Why is Ray wearing sunglasses inside?
Matt: Well, he chugged a bottle of Maddog after he finished a 6 pack of Milwaukee's Best Ice. He probably has Battle Axe Syndrome.
