Battletech Lore Part 4 - The Blake Jihad

Season 2, Ep. 23
•

Lore Boys are back with more Jason Stathan slash-fic, by which I mean Battletech lore, of course! We've got all the dirty details on William Blake Placid and his jihad. So remember to leave that phone down when it starts ringing, the internet's coming to get ya.


This episode we talk about how hard a time the Mongols would have with modern firewalls. We ask who would be the Septarch Primus of Breitbart. We discuss how memes ultimately brought down the clan. And we laud whoever came up with the name for the spiritual successor to the Star League: the Star League 2.


For anyone looking to help out the show make sure to follow us and leave a review on iTunes and across all our social media, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Also check us out on twitch if you’ve ever wanted to see us play the games we talk about.


And as a thank you to Eric Skiff for the use of their song as our show's theme we've decided to take all of humanity's best and brightest and leave the inner sphere in search of what's out there.
