    Ok, now I'm getting excited for this! I totally had forgot about pre-ordering it!

    Plus, the stance is less 'cutsey-anime girl.' She may have been in an anime, but she was never a 'cutesly anime-girl!' Keep that firm, purposeful stance.

    Yeh, I finally caved in and pre-ordered the TV QRau. It's my favorite Zent Armor. Also put the GLAUG in my private warehouse from HLJ. Guess I'll eventually pay a jillion dollars to have them both shipped once the QRau drops.

    The latest max release (tentatively tomorrow) has box art which I assumed to be Mercy Rabbit like the recent ones, but this one is 'Naochika Morishita' Have they done any other Macross products?

    Yeah, I think this made up my mind. I want the dress uniform rather than the pilot suit

    Sorry, I just feel like she ended up part of the problem, kinda like how Mando stole bobas thunder in his show. Bo just kept having to rescue mr shiny in season 3 making him a bit of a Disney princess most of the show

    I keep hoping for a really great modern Superman movie, but I might not be alive to see it happen. All they really need to do is just give it some heart, not too much comedy and not making depressing. And it would unfortunately need a total reboot. I wouldn’t even mind a retro type of movie taking place back around when the comic originally started. Maybe they could do something like the Batman where it doesn’t connect to the main dc movie universe. It really doesn’t need much to be awesome

    CVT is a great idea, and like anything, it has to be built right. My only problem with them is that they're often programmed counter to it's design philosophy; It's supposed to allow your engine to run smoothly at it's peak efficiency without major changes in RPM for the given conditions, but it's often programmed to meet human expectations by making it sound like it's shifting which is not ideal for a CVT to be jumping the belt back and forth across the cones. As a manual loving car guy, I actually loved my Ford CMax which had a smoothly programmed CVT in it. I leased it tho and would NEVER own one, although I know plenty of people at my workplace who've had theirs for years now. Chevy did what is imho the best hybrid implementation on the Volt; You need to make the engine a generator and drive the car on electric alone, not as a assist stuck between the engine and wheels. I always hated how the CMax would turn the COLD engine on when it needed power and rev it to the max to get it. But, if you kept the battery charged up, it hardly ever used it in city driving. I had the person at the service desk AT THE DEALER chastise me for not changing my oil at 4k mi. I'm like the engine never runs. Once a year is fine and even at that I was changing it MORE often than recommended. Funny story with that car... My wife, I, and our 1yr old toddler just starting to walk were going up north to spend time at Lake Wazee and decided to take the "back roads." The car handled the roads like a champ, and I was always impressed with it's handling. Within a few miles of the lake, my options were to get on the highway and take the normal route in, but I saw all these smaller roads leading into the area and decided to cross the highway keeping on the road I was already going down. THEN IT STARTED TO POUR RAIN! Seemed like a nicely paved road at first, but then the lines went away. Ok, but still a nice paved road. Then the road started to narrow until the point where I didn't feel safe attempting to turn back because I was obviously going to get stuck if one tire went off the pavement in this low slung car with like 3" of clearance. It was still paved tho, so we kept going. Then the pavement slowly faded into hard packed tarred gravel. Then hard gravel... then sandy, muddy gravel... and before I know it, I'm doing my absolute damnedest to keep my speed up and my car out of and on top of the muddy, sandy ruts with the traction control constantly cutting power until I found a panicked moment to jam my finger at the traction button. I made it through a mile of this, down a muddy valley and finally up a sandy hill to crest back onto the safety of a paved road again. PHEW! Then around the next corner... mother nature said NO! Road was flooded out about 3' deep. F*&^!!! Now I have to drive BACK THROUGH all that mud again! And it ain't getting dryer cuz it's still pouring down rain! And I have no idea where to tell a tow truck to get me even if they WOULD. But by some miracle we made it. Then my kid went to get out of the car at the lake and promptly landed flat on her face on the pavement. Poor kid had a scratched up face, but she was ok. Then the sun came out, we enjoyed the rest of the day, and TOOK THE HIGHWAY HOME!!! Afterwards the car's suspension started making a clunk sound of a broken front sway bar link, so I took it to the dealer fully expecting them to say that it wasn't covered under warranty because I obviously took it off roading, but to my surprise, they covered it!

    You misspelled "Dave Filoni" there. 😜 Don't go puttin' that evil on the character when it's the writers and creative director who can't go two minutes without forcing at least one callback to The Clone Wars into the story. Hell, they even brought back Jabba's chronically flatulent kid from The Clone Wars for an apparently significant role in the movie. (I can only describe him like that because chronic flatulence was literally his only character trait.)

    Would love one of that!

    Looks like it's going to be a fun ride in the Razor Crest 2!! Who else turned up the volume when the theme music played?
  15. Thom
    Hey, Paul Shaffer was in that! Cool.
  16. Thom
    Agree with most, esp this...
  17. Thom
    Thanks @pengbuzz and @MechTech. I am still not over it! Started Sat night, kicked me in the beep-boop all Sunday and most of Monday, so even if the show had been more than one day, I still couldn't have gone. And of course, the day for my doctor's appointment is the day it finally starts to lighten up. (head shake) Thankfully I only had to call off one day of work, as Sunday I had already taken as a vacation day for the show and Tue/Wed are my 'weekend.' Fingers crossed this is on the way out, cause I am over it!

    Strike A Pose! revisted...

    That's an interesting way to position the wings. 100%. It's a fresh way to interpret how a valk transforms, and the colors are so well integrated into its design.

    I can’t really say that Trent stole from him, his music was more influenced by industrial alternative music and his look may have all been something closer to Skinny Puppy or something, but not so much Rozz. But Manson might be closer there. Definitely different musically, but the looks and facial expressions might have more of a heavier influence, especially in Manson’s early days, sorta like Al from Minstry kinda having his look taken from Rob Zombie

  27. Big s
    I remember having the old school set of these as a kid

    I don’t think they’d do as much to ruin the story as Bo did in season 3.
