  1. Not the best review but a ton of close up pics. I had to cancel my original preorder...not sure about picking this up. Seems like Batman was over-stylized. http://testicular-fortitude.blogspot.com/2...man-bat_03.html
  2. Macross II was great back in the day..it was the first title that was actually sold as a Macross property in the US..Macross Plus was soon after. Macross II feels like DYRL?-lite. Story is kind of the same, characters are less interesting, same goes for the VFs. The character designs themselves are good and so is the music. Mech action is solid. Better than Macross Zero?..even though Zero had its faults...um no..better than Plus?...please..I'd put Macross II over most of Macross 7.
  3. Beverly Hills Chihuahua was the number one movie this weekend...god i hate those dogs..anything might have a chance. but anyway..just enjoy Macross for what it is. It doesn't need to be turned into a Hollywood turd..
  4. I watched the first 10 episodes of Macross Frontier over the weekend...pretty good for the most part..the love triangle ...Kawamori has got to come up with better/new ways to create conflict among characters..I know it's a Macross staple and this is the 25th anniversary show..but still. However, the mech porn in this series is great. Especially for a TV series.
  5. A new low for DLC. Namco is selling 2 weapons packs for Soul Calibur IV...turns out they are the same weapons you could acquire while playing the game..they aren't that hard to unlock...at least they warn you before you purchase.. Not sure what the price is yet since it hasn't been released on the US PSN store. They are up on the JP store though. For 400 yen for each pack.
  6. Famitsu scores sounds good...too bad I just sold my PSP..oh well http://www.the-magicbox.com/gaming.htm
  7. Last night's episode was good. This series has some good character and plot development..I just hope the payoff is there.
  8. New DLC coming.. http://kotaku.com/5056648/new-campaign-cha...force-unleashed
  9. No Led Zeppelin reunion http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermo...wsitemID=105779
  10. Learn to read...they were great back in their day... but at their age now they look foolish on stage. And Jimmy Page has always been sloppy live...good but sloppy
  11. I like classic rock but...these old guys look ridiculous when on stage..Jimmy Page is beyond sloppy...
  12. 40GB PS3 dropping to 359.99 this weekend...supposedly at Blockbuster.. I didn't even know they sold them.. http://kotaku.com/5055311/sony-price-dropp...el-this-weekend make that 359.99
  13. No Iron Man for u!! Blu-ray being recalled http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=1815
  14. I used to love this series but after the recent PS2 games I gave up...however I was thinking about buying this. Are the controls still clunky? How interactive is the surrounding environment?
  15. I've converted MKV files with subs using mkv2vob. Usually I just convert them to mpeg2. The subs will be burned in though. Saw this at animeondvd, anime at the PSN store in Japan WTF!!! http://animeanime.jp/biz/archives/2008/08/_924_ps3.html http://www.mania.com/aodvb/showthread.php?t=85504
  16. http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=1789 Hell yeah.. must resist the import...unless the exchange rate improves..
  17. Ya old Metallica is still the best. Although Death Magnetic is pretty good. A step in the right direction....finally I always found it odd that people were influenced by Burton or Newsted. Most Metallica songs, the bass is so low in the mix you can barely hear it. Same goes for new CD. And Robert Trujillo is freaking awesome. He was fantastic with Ozzy and Suicidal Tendencies.
  18. Wipeout HD only 20.00 and due on Sept. 25th. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/09/15/...riced/#comments
  19. Dragonforce is ok. After awhile the constant shredding and same BPM for every song can get tiring. Check out Firewind They actually play with a bit more taste/more variety, better vocals. etc I'm shocked right now..I actually like Metallica's new CD, Death Magnetic. I haven't liked anything by them in almost 15 years lol.
  20. I've used MKV2VOB.. I don't think there is a loss in quality.. or at least for the sound. I converted one of the new Hokuto No Ken movies to an MPEG-2 file and the sound is still Dolby Digital 5.1. Video looked good since it was a DVD rip. Usually though I just convert my files to Divx. The official Divx software doesn't support MKV though. I couldn't get subs to work with Divx on the PS3 so I also use Platinum DVD Ripper. That program will make MP4/AVC files with burned in subtitles. Works for the PSP and Ipod Touch too. Both of these programs are out there for free...if you know where to look..
  21. Ya this game looks great..too bad I've pretty much lost interest in the PSP...sold off most of my games..still have the system though...hmm maybe one more game...
  22. Try Nightwish's myspace page. Pretty good band. Cool pics A7.. I missed them when they were here last weekend. Children of Bodom is in a few weeks and Down in November thankfully.
  23. Do we really need six Sony Blu-ray recorders released(Japan only) at once? http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=1739
  24. http://kotaku.com/5044692/oh-hollywood-wha...o-to-dragonball wow.. that looks terrible..even talk of a sequel..
