All Things Videogame Related: EXTREME VS!!

With Hell Divers 2 on Xbox now as well my entire friends list on Xbox is filled up with either Hell Divers or Borderlands 4, which is apparently pretty solid, which is good, because I really didn't like 3.- 6999 replies

I caught up on the newest season last night, there were some entertaining episodes, and some solid ones overall, but it was another really uneven season IMO. Is Paramount contracted for another or is this potentially it for SNW?

The Cobra is awesome, but if you're choosing between the two, the Countach takes my money, it's nearly flawless IMO. The Cobra is pretty much perfection too, my only complaint is I wish it was another color, it's the same blue as the Mustang, which I get, but black would've worked just as well for me.

I’d commit to buying six Spartans if Wave would do it in 1/72. I’d be ok with PLAMAX or Hasegawa, but I like the idea of the same manufacturer producing it so it matches the scale and “style” of the other Destroids.

Honestly I don't think Bandai gives a rats ass about (US) tariffs on a product that is sold as JAPAN only! the Chinese (US) tariffs don't effect the imports into Japan or anywhere else in the world, And (US) Tariffs only effect (US) Citizens!

Watched the first S4 episode last night and the end sequence with Tangerine Dream's energetic track from Michael Mann's "The Thief" already blew my mind. -

Talked my lady into watching Warfare since everyone seems to be bringing it up lately since it dropped on Max or HBO Max or whatever it’s called now. I personally liked it, but not quite as much as others and my lady although liking war movies didn’t really like it at all. I think the issue is that while the action is done really well, it’s bit light on story. Or maybe that it isn’t so much a story, but an experience. It probably could’ve helped to have a bit of exposition about what was going on and maybe could have been a bit easier to get a feel for things if they showed some of the film from the other groups involved. Overall, I personally liked it, but I feel like it will be more enjoyed from guys that dig action or military folk than the average person.

Wave 1/72 and 1/100 Destroid Kits
KOG Water Dragon replied to nightmareB4macross's topic in Model kits
True. I don't need it to come from Wave. I'd be happy with Plamax or Hasegawa doing it as long as it looks at home next to the existing destroids. -
Everyone should stop panicking, Bandai will release more VF-1's. They are waiting for 2026-27 and waiting to see how the tariffs will shake out, at the worst, they may wait till the transition of the next govt. No one is going to be importing SDF-1 lineups at the moment. Bandai will focus on Macross items that they are able to distribute internationally.

Volks 1:144 KOG D Mirage test fit is moving fast. Just need to get the arms/shoulders, and bow trimmed/built. There are few seams that I will actually need to fix which is amazing and speeds things up considerably. I’m not concerned about all of the hidden seams/details on the frame that the armor will cover up in final assembly. The fit is great! The IMS line has come a long ways. The smaller scale packs in detail and is perfect for my limited space. The scale feels a little larger than their others in the line but not too bad. Here’s a pic of the KOG No.7 in the line with Batsh which was No.1 in the line.

Even then, if you think about it, Armus's evil is still subjective. The species that created him had to decide what traits of theirs were negative and inclining them to destructive behavior and physically removed those aspects of themselves somehow. It's narratively convenient that their definition of "evil" matched Humanity's. It'd be nice if they didn't have him get over it too quickly. Then again, I guess that kind of depends how much of a time skip there is between season 3 and season 4. If it follows on right away then he should definitely still be broken up about it. If there's a couple months in the middle, it'd be weird if he were still totally devastated.

Probably because he wouldn't be able to prove it. Yeah, the deleted scene at the end of Alien: Resurrection is set in a post-apocalyptic Paris. They're not clear on what caused the planet to be so ruined and abandoned in the time between Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection, but it was apparently already basically abandoned well before the start of the movie. IMO, it'd be more on brand for the franchise if the reason Earth is a ruin in the late 24th century is because the megacorps that were overthrown by that time simply destroyed the environment through shortsighted pollution and ecological destruction. Like how Boy Cavalier crashed a starship full of invasive species into his own city simply to deny it to W-Y. That is a really good question. I don't think the writers were expecting anyone to ask that one. 🤔 Xenomorph XX121 eggs seem to last basically forever (based on Alien and Aliens), but the other four species specimens (the flies, ticks, man-eating plant, and eye-ctopus) were all shown being transported live both in the lab and the cargo bay. It wouldn't make sense to thaw them out at the same time as the crew considering how dangerous they are. The smart thing to do would be to keep them on ice until after they got back to Earth if they could be frozen rather than risk any escaping. If we assume the writers didn't simply forget or assume nobody would notice, either these alien lifeforms are very long-lived for insects and a tropical plant or the crew were breeding them to maintain the population. The latter case might explain why they have a rotating crew that seems to be awake far more regularly in transit than the crews of the Nostromo, Sulaco, etc. instead of simply putting everyone into cryo until the ship got where it's going. (Teng's human, BTW... he's just weird.)

Here's another thing which is bugging the hell out of me - If the Maginot had been out for 65 years, then how are some of the specimens still alive? Assuming that the specimens were collected at roughly the halfway point in the voyage before heading home, then wouldn't that make some of them potentially be 30 years old...? I am not clear on whether the specimens were put into cryo sleep, or even whether or not it would work on them. Seems like a big gamble to collect specimens and not know whether or not they'd make it back home. And do you think that they left Teng to tend to them the whole time when the rest of the crew was in cryo? The more I think about the writing for this series, the more it bothers me. I wish I could stop trying to analyze.
