Finally planning to get properly stuck into mech strategy game Into The Breach this evening. Reply to this tweet if you'd like a pilot named after you, and tell me what you'd like to call your mech.

After encountering a pod sent back through time in the field, though, we quickly add a second.pic.twitter.com/RTOkIzCvht

With her movement powers suggesting a kind of balletic combat style (and to gender balance the team a bit), I dub her 'Amy Garvey'. (I await a letter from
@LamyGarbage's lawyers over this unauthorised use of her brand.)Näytä tämä ketju -
Seeing an opportunity to pair her fancy footwork with less-fancy fistwork, Amy quickly commandeers Captain Boyfriend.pic.twitter.com/qOw8uW54Me

This leaves
@thsheridans on artillery duty. Despite initial reluctance, Adam is nothing if not a team player, and on their first mission together, the two pull back a narrow victory from the jaws of certain defeat.pic.twitter.com/3IAfFo6cDj

They're rewarded with another refugee from a disastrous timeline – a robotic feller named for
@sleepssundays. This 'M1L35' is assigned to Magic Mike, a robust tank with a firm cannon.pic.twitter.com/NrT04n3Opu

This trio proves unstoppable. They give me my first perfect mission, with no damage to mechs, civilians or secondary objectives. Before long, they've beaten the second of four islands – further than I've ever got before.pic.twitter.com/wjgPGrCz8M

It's at this point that I discover you can jump straight to the final boss fight, if you're willing to sacrifice fully upgrading your mechs. HERE WE GO.pic.twitter.com/pxobYT1Rr7

Disaster!
@thsheridans is taken down by the sting of a gigantic scorpion, on what purports to be the final round of this boss fight. It is a good death.pic.twitter.com/Qrxc37OMqM

Naturally, there is a surprise twist, and we're dropped below the crust of the earth for a final final boss fight, as the timer ticks down on a kaiju-ending bomb. Adam is replaced by a basic AI.pic.twitter.com/IoRTbOcU1E

VICTORY! The monsters are kept away from the bomb, one last block of power remains, and we SAVE THE GODDAMN WORLD.pic.twitter.com/s7AClv24h7

Anyway, that's the story of how
@thsheridans,@LamyGarbage and@sleepssundays gave me a victory in my first proper run at#IntoTheBreach. (Adam's name is sadly erased from history. The Inanimate Carbon Rod that filled in for him right at the end is instead venerated as a hero.)pic.twitter.com/wWSm7NHQUG

This is only a single step towards truly beating the game, though. So I follow M1L35 to a new timeline and try to save a whole new world. I promote him to pilot of a jaeger dubbed 'Magic Mike II', in memorium.pic.twitter.com/AyvRAsJgqL

(If you want to throw your name into the mechanical hat, I will be doing this again, though likely not retold in such great detail, because I don't want to force everyone to unfollow me.)
