SIGHUP

You're thinking of "Life After People."

Hey, do individual posts disappear or something? I was going to reply to chrisk's post about him just playing around about the Macross cosplay and if I were to post about Comic Con in my view. I was just going to say that basically all the posts on RTX "news" are done by me. MEMO posts mostly in the forums. As far as Rick Hunter, didn't he get lost in space? Oh wait that was Hikajojo.

This was shocking news. I just couldn't believe it. My condolences to your family and friends. I am glad I got to meet him at Comic Con, such a great guy. With tons of stories! Thank you for everything, you will be missed.

Hmm not a bad idea. But the Tuna Hat belongs to Phred, he's the guy who made it. Besides that thing is too freakin' heavy. On second thought, cosplaying might be too much effor so might just go as 30-year old guy who likes anime, That way I won't have to put a costume together.

Well I was planning on going as Ranka!

That's where I come in. As long as I'm there, I'll do what I can against corruption. Geez, that sounds like a cheesy line from a tv show.

This wouldn't be the first time he was put in this situation. Remember what Canon Films did to Robotech Untold Story? More boobs! Bigger explosions! If he shows up at Comic Con '10 and I get to, I'll ask him how he feels about no creative control and see if he gives me an answer.

Oh man what better place than the source! Thanks for clearing that up Gubs, I couldn't put my finger on where I heard that. Or technically since I don't speak Japanese "read that." Now you know why Global kept hitting his head on the entryway, kept staring at all the girls.

The only way it would work is with magic! If you guys ever get a chance/time watch Battle of the X-Planes (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/xplanes/). http://www.hulu.com/watch/23356/nova-battle-of-the-x-planes or even on NETFLIX's Watch Instantly. The development of the two X-planes competing for the military contract reinforced even more how impossible a Valkyrie really is. But who knows what they would come up with if giants were really invading earth.

Correct me and you probably will have to if I'm wrong. But in TV Macross wasn't it implied that Captain Global and Misa had a little 'something something' doing on?

And there you have it! Sorry Cobra Commander, just let it go and let it die on its own. I know for a FACT that MEMO is incomprehensible 99% of the time. He defends HG to the bone, I've even called him on it. He types in all caps and if he stops people wonder why! I don't even remember what else I was going to type, that's how unimportant it all is. Just let go!

I'll have to second this, I've know and met the guy since 07 and talk on a regular basis. I concur he is not on the payroll.

Naruto! I believe they are finally done with the fillers.

Oh please, don't get me into a new hobby. Those are beautiful!!

Oh no worries there.Technically its his site since he dishes out the dough for it. I just do the web stuff. Like it has been mentioned on this thread, RTX is probably in the clear since its not a company or anything and it is non-profit. The only difference between RTX and UEG's is the slightest possibility of UEG actually becoming a company. Correct, MEMO did not know the full details or maybe he did and way playing like he did not. Which is why Nenad and I discussed it to clear up anything and everything. No McKeever-style dodging, toungue-twisting, spidey web-spinning thiis one. : Original discussion here Not the first time eh lady? Me likey. I'll have to ask MEMOEATS@DOMINOS on this one. See what he tells me.

Correction: ". . MEMO is one of the very worst best ass-kissing Tommy Yune fanboys and goose-stepping pro-Harmony Gold fascists." Aye! Aye!, this guy and the high horse. Humility Cobra Commander. Do you have the same annoying voice? You're probably ok, unless you show any bit of a sign that you're making a profit off it. Which of course is not your intent.

So apparently this is nothing new right? Its been going on for decades. Very sad indeed, like I mentioned on RTX. Me wonders if we should beat them to the punch and pull the plug on RTX. Its been clear for sometime now that its either the HG way or the highway!

Not really. He only showed up as a guest @ Comic Con 2009. It was announced @ AOD that he was returning to work on Robotech. Yes, we'll wait another 10 years.

I was talking about the Comic Con 2009 Robotech Panel. Carl Macek was a guest there as well.

This makes sense to me. In the end its all about business. $$$ talks. You know that's the same impression I get. Same with last years' extremely disappointing Robotech Industry Panel @ Comic Con 2010 where NOTHING NEW was announced. Seems to me that HG brought along Carl Macek to prevent them from being booed and tomato-ED off the floor. Heck even MEMO was surprised when he said something like "wow nothing new?" Ditto. It has definitely not been a good things for people that have been following the franchise for 20+ years. But that's their own fault. Robotech has to be clearly enjoyed purely for its nostalgic merits. Heck after re-discovering Robotech in 2007 the first DVD boxset I bought from RT.com was the Macross AnimEigo set. In the end Macross is what people want and its not what they'll get. Just look at this guy go at it. Marathon writer. But he is mostly right on the money. And so the thread of love continues!

But this is why Gamlin has gray hair at such a young age! Way too uptight! I prefer him over Basara. I've always wanted to hit him over the head with his guitar. I wonder if the guitar controls work similar to the Rockband controllers, lol!

Well would you look at that. Was that the infamous Pie-Guy? Makes me wonder if people take cartoons too seriously. I thought cartoons were supposed to be fun?

Goodness, maybe this thread should be renamed ROBOTECH Fans Anonymous.

While it doesn't show it in a positive manner. From a PR perspective, any interest whether good in the end is interest. Let's just see how long they can push it in that direction before it bites them in the butt. Much expected from a corporate site. This is why it doesn't surprise me at all. Corporations tend to do that. Its not fair to the fans but unfortunately that's the way it is.

Well true, it can't be denied. Luckily now tension is at an all-time low @ RTX with moderate activity. As far as the fate of Robotech goes, who knows. Its up in the air. Much like its been for so many years. Maybe that's what happens when you don't let something die. It is just not natural. Nothing more than to play the Robotech game of wait and see, while the fans entertain themselves.
