  1. The premier episode for S3 was strong in my opinion. It was nice to see the various costumes The Monarch wore before settling into his current getup. In the scene where the Monarch breaks into Dr. Venture's lad in his Monarch Mobile, who was the female bodyguard? Was she named in other episodes as serving before Brock?

  2. Finally saw the movie. My two cents:

    I went in it expecting an adventure film, came away feeling a definite sci-fi tone near the middle once the plot was shown. I like Indy films separate from other genres. Kinda like how I'd be disappointed if the Bourne movies somehow integrate Sasquatch or the Loch Ness monster into it, not my cup of tea.

    Still, I enjoyed the movie for what it was... a flick with a history of fun adventures and slap-dash action. I could've done away with the cheesy one-liners in the first 20 minutes or Tarzan-Mutt. Wonder now when Shia will be taking over the enterprise for the 5th film?

  3. Ep. 7 had a nice set-up of finally having a big space battle. Looks like Ep. 8 might slow the story down with a more introspective look at the character's civilian lives again. I was hoping to see the new Q-Rau in some more battle scenes besides the few seconds it was shown in.

    I also had trouble watching the .mkv files via my GOM player with the sound not syncing and locking up. I switched over to VLC and it ran much smoother, some sections had a brief pause but it was watchable again.

    P.s. Don't know if it was mentioned earlier, but that new enemy battleship design sure reminded me of that medical ship from the end of SW: The Empire Strikes Back.

  4. I've stopped with collecting the 25th anniv. once I found Beach Head & Firefly, after that finding the figures became just a chore (kinda like trying to find Masterpiece Starscream). I remember finding Flint when he was hard to find, and then only finding one time Torpedo, Wild Bill, Spirit, from the new waves once before I never see them restocked again at any TRU, Target, Walmart. I wanted Wild Bill, Rock & Roll, and Torpedo since those were the Joes I had as a kid, but finding them was work checking out stores and forums.

    I have to say that all the blame cannot be all for the stores or even scalpers. I've seen on multiple Joe forums when so called "collectors" spout out they found the new wave at their store and bought the entire line, they even take pics of their haul of x10 Destros, Spirits, Flints, etc. To me hoarding is hoarding, whether for profit or collection sake, since then the public can't find the toy at all. I never even did se a HISS tank at release at all.

  5. I picked up Indy with the Fertility Idol today. It pretty much has the same joints like the current SW action figures (I wouldn't be surprised if it were the same designers :rolleyes: ). I counted 20 points of articulation and looks really cool on my desk! He comes with two styles of whips (one he uses and the other made to be stored on a loop on his belt), a colt pistol with really bulky holster to keep it in, shoulder bag, molded leather jacket arms and the golden idol from Lost Ark. It's a great toy and ya'll shold pick it up. B))

    Do you know if this Indy figure you have matches up in size with the GI Joe 25th anniv. figures? Would think of getting him if he fits in size enough with the Joes so they can go raid Corba's fortress for treasure!

  6. I'm digging the series. The music is nice and the mecha is interesting (nothing too new or fancy looking) since they resemble previous valks. The storyline has kept me interested in where they are going with the series, well kept pace so far.

    I'm hoping for some breakout episodes with more mecha action and fights like the original SDF: Macross. So far apart from the first ep. and ep. 4, the mecha fights have been few. Would like to see a big battle soon that takes a good portion of the air time. I don't want a recap of Macross Zero where the mecha action takes on about 20-25% of the screen time. I'd like a good 50/50 split between robots and drama in Macross.

  7. Welp I finally beat the game, the story was ok and kinda predictable but hey what can ya do. My only gripe was with the ending, it was like we are at the last 10 minutes of a movie and it suddenly goes black and says THE END! Probably like that because of the dlc for the 360 version (sigh). Anywhoo this game of all of them really bothered me the most because it seems like I killed over 1000 mafia/triads/druggies/thugs/and hookers all for the sake of just being able to do it. Its like they took 1 mission, copied and pasted it 20 times over (I feel sorry for all those families of the boys I killed) and said thats fine who cares look at the graphics. Overall the game kinda dissapointed me and whos to blame R* for reusing the same formula, it works and makes them money. Oh well, maybe MGS4 can quench my thirst for a great game.

    How many hours did you spend to finish the game? Did you focus on the main missions and not the side jobs?
