    Robotech and HG license debates

    Oh great.. the wall of text, conspiracy theories and legal advise have begun..again..this thread had been quiet for too long :lol: All this latest news does is open up old wounds.. <_<

    There are other ways of course to get Macross stuff. It just sucks that after all these years, the Macross franchise is still a farting mess. HG(the worst of the worst), Toynami, BW, Bandai, Yamato, Sunwards (lol if anyone remembers that) etc. have all had their part in this disaster. And in the end, the fans get screwed...again.

    I just wonder why this latest bit of news. BBTS has been selling Yamato Macross toys since the first 1/72 YF-19..why now be "asked" to stop? The Toynami/Bandai deal?..if its still happening. :unsure:

    You think Yamato will open a factory in the US. We need something since the car industry is dying.

    Yes a US Yamato toy factory will feed millions of US families...

    Macross toys would probably 3 to 4 times more expensive if they were made in the US and they'd still have QC problems..

    Where did I condemn it, or say. "epic fail". I gave my reasons why I wasn't going to stick around for the beta, which I CLEARLY STATED it was and then said I would try again when Home was finished. I also went on to say that even I thought the area where Home was technically weak, the way server handles are transferred and connectivity issues, were probably due to it being a BETA.

    I also went on to explain I tried the game despite the fact the genre doesn't appeal to me and I even talked somewhat about how I could see the genre appealing to others.

    Maybe I have the attention span of a 5 year old, but at least I don't have the reading comprehension of one.

    My response to Mike wasn't exactly aimed at you..more aimed at gamers(and their overreactions) in general ..get a clue..

    How long do you have to be kicked in the bean bag before you know it's a painful experience?

    about 2 secs..

    granted I'm not into a virtual lifestyle or anything like it but it is a beta. I'd rather just play games. I'm sure Home will improve.

    Most gamers have the attention span of a 5 year old... I don't. I'll give something more than 30 minutes before I condemn it. Or use the typical gamer response BS :"OMFG epic phail"

    Wow.. you gave Home.. what 30 minutes? please..

    I really think Sony should have stuck with the original 60GB PS3 from two years ago.

    Ya I think Sony should have just dropped the memory card readers and kept the PS2 compatibility..but since the PS2 was/is still selling well that I can see why they dropped it. Sony of course panicked because the PS3 wasn't selling like crazy. 4 versions in the first year. 20/40/60 and 80GB. I'm glad I have my 60GB(now a 160GB)

    When the PS3 first came out it was cheapest Blu-ray player, nowadays its not. It's still considered the best blu-ray player though.

    The 360 has alot of great games. I was originally gonna buy a 360 but the RROD problems put me off. Plus I really only have time/money for one console. However if the 360 Pro drops to 199.00...well....

    The Best and Worst of 2008....

    Ya I actually liked Alto...initially I thought "here we go, typical angsty teen pilot" More tolerable than Basara ever was...

    anyway some best/worst picks.

    Best anime series Macross Frontier lol. No its not the best anime TV series ever but its the only one I watched all the way through this year. Most anime TV series bore me nowaydays. Although Gurren Lagann is pretty good. Hokuto no Ken: Raoh Gaiden Ten No Haoh is ok so far..

    Best cartoon Family Guy. Its not as funny as it used to be but it is still more entertaining than the Simpsons.

    Best movie The Dark Knight. Blown away. I had to see it twice. Iron Man a close second. I was surprised how good it was.

    Best album Gojira: The Way of All Flesh. Just brutal metal here.

    Best videogame Motorstorm Pacific Rift. Rough off road racing. Drink beer and pick up & play type of game.

    Best TV Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles. Overall I like it alot. Good cast of characters. Interesting story but the pace could pick up a little though.

    Worst anime series Saw some of Code Geass Le Douche...f'n terrible. Typical nancy boy BS anime.

    Worst cartoon Spaceballs. Ugh god my eyes..who thought there was demand for this? It's on G4 if you don't like yourself..

    Worst movie Cloverfield.. Godzilla meets Blair Witch Project...yawn.

    Worst Album Dunno. Anything mainstream? Country western? Hip Hop?

    Worst videogame Whats the criteria? A game that is supposed to be a blockbuster that sucks. Or just a downright bad game? I'd have to go with Devil May Cry 4. It doesn't suck but it is disappointing. As usual JP devs/publishers don't try anything new. Graphics aside, this game could have been released on the PS2.

    Worst TV Anything on the CW or MyNetwork TV

    Details of the NA SFIV CE..

    Hot on the heels of Friday's revelation of the European Street Fighter IV Collector's Edition, GameStop has revealed details on the North American CE, which remains largely the same with a few console-specific differences.

    While North American fans will still be receiving the 65-minute long anime movie (on Blu-ray for PlayStation 3), five downloadable costumes, and the comic-book styled hint book, the pair of limited-edition figurines will be split up according to which console you purchase the game for. PS3 owners will be receiving the Ryu figure, while Xbox 360 players will be getting the busty newcomer, Crimson Viper. While there is no mention of a collector's box, GameStop is listing a soundtrack CD, which wasn't mentioned for the Euro set.

    Wow I hope the US gets something this cool

    http://kotaku.com/5102423/euro-sfiv-collec...-boxes-detailed

    Capcom Europe has dropped details on the limited Collectors Edition Box sets for Street Fighter IV that European and Australian fans will be able to get their hands on come February 20th.

    The boxes themselves are rather attractive in their own right, featuring a classic Street Fighter scene on the outer case. Inside players will discover a set of limited edition figurines representing Street Fighters past and present, with fan-favorite Ryu joined by the ridiculously busty newcomer, Crimson Viper. Along with the toys, Capcom is also including a bonus disc containing a selection of trailers and a full-length anime movie specially created for the launch of the game. Icing the cake is a mini strategy guide for the four new characters and the promise of exclusive downloadable content.
