While I can see why they're suing PGI (not that I think it is a "good" suit, but doesn't MWO have both the Marauder and Warhammer mech designs in it?), does HBS even use any of the mech designs that were behind the original now-decades-old lawsuit?

It doesn't even matter; all of the Unseen have ether been redesigned from the ground up or are going to be redesigned before their inclusion in future products. All of the Unseen in MWO are the new designs; I don't see why HBS wouldn't be allowed to use those designs themselves if they wanted to use the Unseen.
I haven't played it, so is this the Marty Robbins version? I was actually going to suggest that as one of @GasBandit's car-eoke songs.

MWO pretty much redesigned every single mech. They gave the the Jenner a fucking torso twist, for crying out loud.
Speaking of Harmony Gold, guess how long it's been since Palladium's "Robotech Tactics" wargame kickstarter ended? That's right, 4 years.
Guess which Kickstarter still hasn't delivered on the extras or Wave 2 of miniatures?
Yup, for the last 3+ years they've been "getting quotes" from various Chinese miniatures manufacturers.
Only you, Palladium, could raise 20x the amount of funding you asked for and still fuck up this badly.

Endurance challenges for charity? I get that. But why do it for "fun" when it's for YEARS? One Man’s Two-Year Quest Not to Finish Final Fantasy VII
They mention Desert Bus there which is good at least.

Did you see how GameStop/ThinkGeek revealed yesterday that they had "thousands" of NES Classic bundles up for sale?
Did you see how they sold out completely after just 20 minutes?

Think Geek can go fuck themselves with their gouging bullshit. You can only buy a NES classic if you buy 300 dollars worth of garbage from them they can't normally sell. Scumbags. Gamestop fucking sucks.
It's also a sound business strategy.
In fairness, the Walmart cancellation is because Walmart let the page go live before it was supposed to. Not Nintendo's fault.
I'm thinking more of building a niche hipster genre where people just can't help themselves to throw themselves mindlessly to Nintendo's latest whim.

What does strobing do for a computer monitor? This isn't something I've head of before.
Basically, if the backlight can strobe at the same rate as the monitor's refresh rate, you can reduce the noise in between frames and stop motion blur
Yessssssss ...
I'm a sucker.
And in spring 2018, I'll be a broke sucker.

Because I see it happening and it ruins my immersion. It's often implemented poorly and the effect is jarring, often blurring frames that don't actually need to be blurred. I feel the same way about using it egregiously in action sequences in movies.
My new-game-video-settings litany goes
Bloom OFF
Motion Blur OFF
SSAO OFF
Depth of Field OFF
Your eyes/brain have this persistence-of-vision thing that allows several individual frames to blend together into smooth motion. This is how movies work. Video games really suffer from this sort of thing, though, since frame 1 hasn't faded from your vision by the time frame 2 comes along. Worse yet, it hasn't even faded from the monitor yet, so it all blurs together like having both frames superimposed. This makes aiming difficult and hard to process since everything looks more smeary the faster it moves.

A new monitor will my very own X-Mas present TBH. I'm already shopping and the monitor market is flaky.
We shall talk about this again, my friend.
