  1. I like it! I too have always had fun with the natural pattern recognition that we all have. What almost as fun as seeing such patterns is how each person will see something different. A great project!
  2. I think my imagination is the most horrifying part of that event. By not showing the actual graphic details, it somehow feels even worse than when the do show the details, like in DYRL or Macross Plus. Just the idea of a mecha-scale weapon being used in that way makes me cringe. And that massive display inside the cockpit in all directions - I don't even... I will say that inspite of the tragedy, I do feel like this has added some much needed dramatic tension to the recent Macross Delta battles. They have been in danger of becoming almost comically repetitive; engage -> ? -> disengage -> nothing resolved. This even ups the stakes and gives a lot more dramatic weight to both the battle in this episode, but also going forward. Not to mention the emotional stakes at this point, the characters reeling from the turn of events. It also sets up some desperation going forward as certain characters will no doubt try to figure out a way to fight going forward, knowing the odds. Quite the episode.
  3. That is true, but keep in mind the Master File books weren't being released in 2008. The first book (which covered the VF-1 Valkyrie) was released in 2009, well after Macross Frontier had already ended. The Master File creators also clearly wanted to feature earlier generation valkyries first before getting to the Macross FRontier mecha, probably because there were more fans who wanted the older stuff before the newer stuff. If there is a Master File released for the VF-31 Siegfried and Sv-262 Draken, I think chances are good we won't have to wait three years.
  4. Back on page 3. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=43028&p=1240744 Some good subs.
  5. Nicely done. Good to see more for this ship. It's sadly ignored in most of the official publications. I welcome the love
  6. It looks great! Love the colors and shading. Well done!
  7. Wow! Another incredible piece! I'll head over to the site and check it out.
  8. That short was another awesome production! I wonder if they plan to release one for each character. Release was last night and it got off to a little rough of a start, but soon I was playing. Went for hours, well into the morning. Ended up being late for work today. Worth it. I've noticed several map changes, but no major character changes as yet. Guess we'll see. So far, it's as good as the beta promised. A top shelf game. Easily will be my go-to game for the next few years.
  9. I've actually found myself thinking of this so often now, ever since Frontier so blatantly made it a huge fake-out in that series. Sub-consciously and consciously, i find myself looking our for any mention or appearance of pineapple in Macross Delta. It's a brain bug that just won't go away. I think OCD is setting in
  10. So many shipping possibilities in Macross Delta
  11. I'd say definitely get this version. it's incredible. And there is the option to get English subtitles from the internet, should you use a digital backup of your blu-ray disc.
  12. I think both sides in the old vs. New argument are just folks taking stock in what they liked most. Yes, Macross is different now and can’t be the same as it was. Doesn’t mean one is forced to like current Macross, but it also won’t help folks re-write history to suit an agenda. I recently posted about this on FB and it’s the same discussion. Some Macross fans liked the real robot aspects of the original Macross series. You can’t blame them for feeling that way or lamenting that those elements are no longer prioritized in modern Macross. On the flip side, Macross can’t stay the same. It’s not old Macross anymore, but old fans also don’t own Macross either. The property can’t be the size and type of story it is by targeting a demographic from 30 years ago, most of whom no longer watch anime. Folks can either adapt to the way modern anime stories are told, or can fly into cane-waving rage about it. Yes, Macross Delta isn’t Gundam Thunderbolt. Maybe it could have been, but someone’s already doing that, so Macross went with Delta. Personally, I’m really surprised by Delta. It really alienated me in the first preview episode, hitting you over the head with a very high level of absurdity. But it turns out absurdity was not the way it was going, at least not entirely. The episodes are much more character based and true to Macross than I originally thought. There are more and more scenes that are just pure Macross gold, IMO. I never thought this series would pull me in, but giving it a chance has paid off.
  13. Yeah, these shorts for Overwatch are amazing! They've all been good. I swear, I can't recall the last time I was this pumped for a video game. Overwatch is hitting all the right spots. That open beta is killing me now. I'm just dying to play.
  14. Whoa, is that a new figure? I saw one small picture on FB, but these look REALLY good! Any details?
  15. While kinda similar in overall shape, the NUNS logo and the Zolan Patrol unit logos are different. The NUNS logo diamond shape is like the base logo with other graphics on top. THe Zolan Patrol logo is actually two arrow-like objects on either side of a circle in the center. Not sure if it's supposed to be coincidence or intentional, but the logos are different.
  16. EDIT: post about new ships, but I see they are in the mecha thread. Edited
  17. Mr March

    VF-0S

    Looks smart and sexah. Nice work!
  18. Damn, I'm still waiting on my Motoko figure. It looks great!
  19. That style works better than I would have thought. Nice painting!
  20. I had been really hoping they would redesign the Quarter-style ship for the Elysion so that the crusier mode looked more like a ship. I think they've succeeded brilliantly. This looks exactly like I hoped it would; a different take on a Macross-style ship, but very stylish and impressive. I'm a big fan of this. It feels much more like a space craft, instead of the almost space-station-like look of the old Quarter Class ships.
  21. Did anyone play the open Beta? It is amazing! The game plays like a dream. Control is so tight, responsiveness is excellent and the engine looks superb. Maps are wide and varied and plentiful. Every character is fun to play, there are no bad experiences. I've been hooked in hard. This game is WAY more fun than I thought it was going to be. I'll be getting it for sure. An instant classic.
  22. I remember this! A great interpretation! I love how this is done. Feels very realistic. Like how the translated the Captain America suit from the comic to the one in like Civil War.
  23. Nice! I was hoping to see more work on this project.
  24. That is a great piece of art. It looks so professional
