In our fortieth deployment of BungleTech, Michael and I take a trip to Japan as we dive into a brian cache of Japanese BattleTech releases recently unearthed by members of the community in our primary topic segment and ask ourselves the question: is this even BattleTech or have we wandered into some Tetatae adjacent alternative BattleTech timeline? Strap in as we tour a place where familiar ’Mechs sport unfamiliar silhouettes. Just like a Marauder II crashing its way through a densely packed residential block, It’s a journey of equal parts discovery and destruction. Get ready for those knowledge check PSRs MechWarriors!

In this special micro‑episode of BungleTech, Nathan takes the controls of the Bunker for a quick hit of tech‑flavoured nonsense designed to clear a lingering task off his list and soothe Michael’s tormented spirit, which is currently howling over our uneven episode count. It’s a tiny adventure, but a complete one — a little BungleTech snack to tide you over until the next full‑sized episode drops.

In our thirty fifth deployment of BungleTech my spheroid co-host Michael and I dive into the psyche, or perhaps psychosis, of Jamie Wolf as we take a look at his annotated version of the Art of War, we pause for a moment and discuss the variety of pronunciation mistakes we are making on a regular basis in our Rule Mistake Discovery segment, and then we wrap it all up by reading a sample chapter from the book we just discussed.

In our 34th episode of BungleTech my spheroid co-host Michael start by sharing some exciting updates in our Extraordinary Proclamation Segment, before we question the widely held belief that "BattleTech hasn't changed that much since its origin." as we do a rule by rule comparison of BattleTech Second Edition and the 8th printing of the BattleMech Manual in our general topic segment, and then in our Stories of the Inner Sphere segment we break away from tradition and share a variety of the bad 'Mech articles I have had the honour of recording for SARNA!
