CUSTOMIZE

Okay, so when you had your LEGO'S and K'NEX while growing up, how meticulous were you in their designs?  Personally, I was of the K'NEX persuasion and would lose whole days sitting in my room building and breaking apart massive structures, down to the details.  Yeah, 9 year old me didn't have lots of friends.  Anyways, I knew of my love of customization early on, so when Custom Robo came out on the GameCube and I could make my own robot to battle others?  Raw happiness.

That didn't last long however, as there's only like 300 possible creations you can make and they're all easy to remember and use.  I got pretty absorbed by it.   I later got a hold of the Armored Core series, which features some of the most crazily in-depth customization options of all time.  It consumed me.  My brother and I spent a good portion of every day taking turns on the Xbox re-tuning our mechs in order to one-up the others latest design.

You can even apply air diffusers to redistribute the weights of each part in, or out of motion.   Yeah, and then you fight them, and it's fucking ridiculous.  Annnnnnd~ there's a new game coming out this Septemberish for it.  Armored Core 5: Verdict Day.  Basically it's the best game ever because there's such a slim chance of having the exact same build as someone else, almost more certainly the same programming, or weapons, (like I said, this game is ridiculous)

But with the newest installation in the series comes some crazy new adaptations.  To the multiplayer, which absolutely needed to happen, the shittiest thing about that game was not being able to trounce every feeble human in existence with your Death Machine.  But now it appears as though they have some sort of commander position, or an overarching commander of some sort, and it looks totally badass.  

I can already tell, I'm going to lose sleep over this.
