Try end of a season. I think they're going to try to milk everything they can out of the series. God, from what I saw of the series, it was ugly. Looks like the same crew who did Teen Titans did this one. The toys looked goofy, too. I liked G1 and Beast Wars. Beast Machines, god, did they ever scrape that story out of a toilet.

There are those rare ones who would, don't you think? (mainly in Communist nations )

Read my lips. In 1984, Carl Macek decided to test air Robotech in Houston a full year before he released it nationaly. In that version of "Symphony of Light" he used Megazone 23 footage to tell the story of how Corg was killed by Scott Bernard (he had the blood on Corg's left arm changed from red to green). That version must've failed the test, so he decided to drop the Megazone 23 footage used. In book 10 Invid Invasion it's explained that the protoculture feul cells used were of Invid manufacutre.

Battlefield Earth 2. I didn't like what I've seen of the first movie. As for the book... Let's just say that I bailed right in the middle of the first chapter. L. Ron Hubbard was too freaking dry for me. Speaking of Hubbard, I didn't like the Mission Earth series of books that well, either (I'm not a very big fan of satire; Mel Brooks is just about the only satire movies I'll watch).

I'd watch it if this place stilll didn't use freaking dial-up (up to 50kb./sec. from 26.4kb/sec., it's the freaking service and not the modem; damn, we really need to get eiher wi-fi or dsl). I was talking about the scene in the final act of Symphony of Light where they used the Megazone 23 footage, then cut to Scott firing the mini missle, not Robotech the movie. I have yet to see that one though. The passage in in the final chapters of book 3 Homecoming describing the blood on the pilot's seat.

The only one they couldn't get onboard so far is Rick Moranis (What the hell is he doing, a sequel to Strange Brew?). Hey, I liked They Live; at least they didn't give room for a sequel, since they

My nomination is Kusaragi Kei from Super Dimentional Century Orguss. He knocked up two women, for god's sake.

That sihouette is the Orguss 1. Little known fact: The Robotech Nebo model is none other than the Orguss 1.

So that scene I saw during the test run was actually cobbled together using Mospeada footage and some alternate footage from Megazone 23. And here I thought it was a deleted Mospeada scene. Please send this info on to cyc over at Robotech.com along with my sincerest of apologies for not believing him. Thanks for clearing that up for me. The blood on the Skull One pilot's seat only appears in the McKinney novels, not in the animated series.

Oh, please don't tell me that John Sheriden went to B-Movie hell!!! For the love of Christ.

Well, how I remember the scene they cut it right when Scott Bernard fired the missle. Even cyc over at Robotech.com didn't believe me (and he's a Genesis Climber Mospeda fan). It's nice to see at least someone here knows what I'm talking about.

An 8 barreled gatling gunpod. Let me quote one of my favorite characters (I'll give you bonus points if you can guess who I'm talking about) "Full nitro, let's make toast!"

Two little known facts about Robotech. #1 The show was shown way back in '84 here in Houston (Carl Macek chose the city to test it, most likely because he lived here; hell, he runs ADV here somewhere, most likely the Galleria area). #2 During the episode "Symphony of Light" Scott Bernard blew away an injured and unarmed Corg with a VR-051 Battler Plasma/Napalm mini-missle at point blank range right after the latter crashed his Royal Command Battloid in a scene that was cut for the natoinal release (I had a running war over at Robotech.com over this one, ask them). From the look on Corg's face, you knew the bastard was about to die. Why Harmony Gold won't release the 1984 test version on DVD is beyond me.

A lot of good roleplaying games are skill based. At least Palladium's skill system is percentage based (I have most of the Robotech Line, five or six of the Rifts line, and a few from their fantasy line, as well as the trifecta of Heroes Unlimited, Ninjas and Superspies, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Srangeness). It's the combat engine that needs a freaking overhaul. Damned thing's misfiriring six out of eight cylanders (sp.?).

Looks like Lorenzo Lamas' career didn't fare so well, either.

I'm playing Fallout 2 right now, and am wondering if there's a time limit to the game. I've already gotten the third Arroyo Dream cutscene, and am wondering how many more of them occour before Arroyo finally dies out. By the way, I'm the one who broke the news about the trilogy being released on DVD-ROM.

Here's a comic I haven't read, but would probably make a good movie (I read about it in an issue of Game Informer) The Preacher.

I saw the show back in the day. Imagine how powerful Ryo would be if he had all 9 armors when he formed Harial's Armor of Inferno (I don't think he had all nine armors at once).

I have that particular module. Talk about a writer who's mentally bankrupt. Suck doesn't even begin to describe it.

... ... The freaking thing lacks the ape snout and the Y-Rack on the back. _-|-- Damned thing's also as big as a Triax X-1000 Ulti-Max. All the Yamato needs to make it complete is the freaking Wave Motion Gun.

The F-16 has only one vertical stabilizer on the ass end of the aircraft. The F/A-18 has two vertical stabilizers. You can also tell the differance between the aircraft by looking for the air intake scoop; the one on the F-16 is located on the underside of the aircraft (similar to the A-7 Corsair, but not as goofy looking), whle the F/A-18 has them mounted on either side of the fuselage.

I take it that Rhane Sinclair's finally gotten over being damn near labotomized when Cameron Hodge and pulled his sh*t in Extinction Agenda way back in the late Eighties. What the hell happened to Sam Guthrie (I used to read New Mutants; god, did Liefeld ever screw that series up).

Interplay was the company that was renamed ATARI when they bought that company out. That's why we haven't seen the Interplay name when Neverwinter Nights came out.

The only thing good about that freaking flick is Michael Ironside, too bad even he couldn't save that hackjob. The only good movie that douche-bag Verhoeven ever directed was the original Robocop (I don't blame Frank Miller for the garbage sequels, though, he just wrote the scripts and had absolutely no creative input; parts of Robocop 2 were filmed here in Houston if you didn't know).

I could've sworn they showed the long version in the theatres, it ran for 4 hours with an intermission in the middle of the film.
