    Convention Central MechCorps returns for the third year to OwlCon Feb. 19-21, 2010
    MechCorps' Mobile Armor Division will be stationed in the Ley Student Center on the campus of Rice University in Houston, Texas during OwlCon XXIX "The Year We Make CONtact" on February 19-21, 2010.


    In MechCorps' prior deployments to OwlCon, new recruits were introduced to the exhilaration of piloting a 70-ton, 3-story tall robot armed to the teeth with lasers, missiles, cannons and all manner of weaponry to take on all foes... including friends. The Tesla II cockpits, featuring the BattleTech: Firestorm software, are fully enclosed military style simulators that feature 7 screens, over 90 control systems, and a 12 speaker surround sound system. When seated in the cockpit or 'pod', the player pilots their own walking tank known as a BattleMech onto the virtual landscape to compete for battlefield superiority with those seated in surrounding cockpits.

    OwlCon is a dedicated gaming convention that features board and card games, miniatures (historical, fantasy, and sci-fi), role-playing games (tabletop and live action), related events (e.g., painting competition, movies) as well as the most beautiful arcade games: the BattleTech Pods. OwlCon is one of the longest running gaming conventions in Houston, if not in Texas. Student led and student run convention held in many buildings across the Rice University Campus. Admission is free for spectators, only if you want to participate does it require a convention pass.

    MechCorps Entertainment, LLC is the largest independent operator of Virtual World Entertainment's Tesla II BattleTech: Firestorm Cockpit Simulator Pods with it's main base of operation in Houston, Texas. MechCorps' Mobile Armor Division is the touring branch of MechCorps traveling to various conventions and other remote deployments across the United States. MechCorps Entertainment, LLC is a privately held company. Visit www.MechCorps.com for more information.

    Headquartered in Kalamazoo, Virtual World Entertainment is a leading supplier of high-end, centerpiece attractions to the location-based entertainment industry. Virtual World has produced and distributed cockpits since 1989. Virtual World Entertainment, LLC is a privately held company. Visit today at www.virtualworld.com.

    Convention Central MechCorps Invades ChimaeraCon 2009
    Dateline: San Antonio -- March 6, 2009

    When we left for San Antonio to attend ChimaeraCon 2009, I never thought that we would be involved in a war of Good vs. Evil. OK, I'm not necessarily shocked that there was a war, 'cause that's what happens when MechCorps brings the BattleTech Cockpit Simulator pods.

    But a battle of light against dark for the inhabitants of San Antonio???

    Event Notices Regulars' Nights
    MechCorps holds frequent "Regulars' Nights" at our Headquarters for our Regulars to hang out (and newbies who would want to learn from the Regulars) and do some training, experimentation and the more advanced missions that are not normally played during the week. During these nights we offer an "All You Can Pilot for $25" special for the hours specified for that night. ($20 if you have a MechCorps Clearance Level membership) plus tax.

    That's unlimited missions for the price of 4 missions! and you get to hone your skilz, be the first to try out some really interesting experiments, and hang out with other MechCorps Veterans.

    The Regulars' Nights are for ALL LEVELS of players... from newbies to Masters.

    Regulars' Nights are multi-purpose. First, it gets all the die-hard enthusiasts together on the same night for camaraderie and a little challenge for their own skills. Second, that's when we try out some scenarios that the Regular's may have never played before or knew existed. Third, it allows Newbies to learn from the Regulars... who are VERY willing to teach others. (Probably because they want more opponents with better skills, but mostly because they love the game.)

    For more information on the times and dates of the Regulars' Nights check the Calendar and check in the Mission Event Announcement Forum.

You're the pilot of a BattleMech® competing against seven other players in the 31st century. Each 'Mech® is equipped with tons of ammo, cannons, lasers and missiles.
