The rumors you may have heard are true:  Former FASA subsidiary and 
current Kalamazoo business Virtual World Entertainment will be bringing 
four BattleTech cockpits to Marmalade Dog 14!

For those unfamiliar with the pods this description sums them up pretty 
well:

"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 will pilot his or her own walking tank 
known as a BattleMech onto the virtual landscape to compete with those 
seated in the other cockpits for battlefield superiority."

As always, more info on the web site: http://www.marmaladedog.org/

In other Marmalade Dog 14 news:  Our charity this year is Take My Paw, a 
non-profit no kill rescue.

MD14 is just one week away, we hope to see you there!
