In our 39th deployment of BungleTech, we kick the safeties off the fusion engine and attempt something both daring and experimental in our Primary Topic segment. Together with you in the command couch—we chart the State of BattleTech in our era. Plug in your neurohelmet, tune a transmission in our direction, and join the ranks of those who’ve already shared their thoughts.

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!
