Manic Expression was founded by James Walsh as a place for bloggers and video-makers to come and show off their work. Anyone can submit their work, with the chance of it being featured in the "Outstanding Blog/Video of the Week". It has a small but Orwellian monitored community, meaning the usual riff-raff tend to get thrown out rather rapidly.
Tropes used in Manic Expression include:
- Airborne Aircraft Carrier: So far, the Japanese and Prussian Sky Fortresses.
- Applied Phlebotinum: Sturginium (otherwise known as Element 270), the Ore used to make the Land ships and other huge weapons of the game.
- Attack Drone: The Covenant of Antarctica use these instead of regular fighter planes.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The small tank bases are about the size of a regular modern day tank. Medium Tanks of the setting are roughly Baneblade sized. And it only gets bigger from there.
- Base on Wheels: The American Washington Class and British Sovereign Class land ships.
- Giant Enemy Crab: Or rather, Giant Victorian Steampunk Enemy Crab. It's the Covenant Landship.
- Humongous Mecha: The Prussian Metzger robot.
- Also, the John Henry Robot is a FLYING Humongous Mecha
- If It Swims, It Flies: The French Magenta Mk 1 Pocket Battleship.
- Giant Squid: The Japanese have Giant Robotic Squids that crush ships. Does this remind you of anything?
- Military Mashup Machine: Several of the more exotic weapons in the game, most notably the Landships the various factions use.
- Spider Tank: The Japanese Taka Ashi Heavy Walker.
- As well as the Covenant's medium and small scale Walkers. Their Land Ship is more like a Crab.
- The Covenant's Mobile Airfield plays this more straight however.
- As well as the Covenant's medium and small scale Walkers. Their Land Ship is more like a Crab.
- Tank Goodness: The smallest units available are light tanks. Infantry is either non-existent or abstracted away.
- Up to Eleven: Where to begin? How about the Saint Paul's Cathedral/White House on Tank Treads? Or the Giant Robotic Squids? Or even the Giant Steampunk Enemy Crab?
