  1. The fact you are spending this much time on this subject of ranks shows me you want more detail out of a work of fiction than the storytellers have likely created or will likely create. The writers only create enough detail to make the story and the characters of the story. They don't need to make any more. Macross isn't designed to use any particular nations' military ranks. It only uses Japanese military ranks because it is convenient to the creators. They didn't have to follow it. The creators based the characters ranks loosely on Japanese Air and Naval systems for convenience. The creators didn't have to use any particular system but they chose that one. The translators should maintain that system in their translations. All we want are nice consistent translations. That's all we ask. The Macross-stories are works of fiction. Not real-life. If you want the detail level of real-life, then it's no longer fiction.
  2. OK. Lock time. Unless there is some real news, this thread will stay locked.
  3. Maybe you should use the search function. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41775
  4. The pic you posted is from DeviantArt. http://www.deviantart.com/art/The-Flash-Future-Suit-Mockup-spoilers-in-desc-511831914 And since they haven't written the end of season episodes, I wouldn't jump on it yet.
  5. I love how things are slowly evolving. First they brought meta-humans to the universe. Now it's time to bring on the mystical arts. As for Jay Garrick, I wish they blended some of the new Earth-2-comic costume. Oh well, nothing wrong with the classic.
  6. Probably due to the annual Television Critics Association Awards this week, some pilots have popped up ahead of schedule. I grabbed Lucifer and Minority Report. I haven't gotten to the latter but I did watch some of Lucifer. Meh. This whole civilian&cop formula is getting quite dull. Good character, meh on the implementation. I only skimmed over Minority Report but I was getting that look of Almost Human mixed with The Mentalist feel.
  7. $500...This will be interesting. Professional video cards are not cheap for the good ones and will likely eat 1/2-3/4 of your budget if you go with a better dedicated card. For 3D rendering, I definitely would not use integrated graphics. That Asus A10 will probably be about as good as you can get for the price since it has dedicated video. This Dell would also fit the bill but you'll want to invest in dedicated graphics. Dell - Inspiron Desktop - Intel Core i3 - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - Black I would still look at upgrading the dedicated graphics card to one of the spec recommendations.
  8. When has Macross not had a love triangle? I'm just gonna throw this out there cuz you know we all want it. Macross Harem Yeah, you heard me. Why choose?
  9. Yeah, about that standalone Hulk movie. That may not happen for a while. Marvel might not have sole rights for the time being. There's word that Universal still has some control over that property which is why we haven't seen a standalone movie yet. And whether or not Marvel sabotage FF, the comics haven't been doing too well.
  10. Preferred size? Usage? Special needs? (USB port? Height adjustment?, Ports? (DVI, DisplayPort, HDMI), etc)
  11. Yeah about the timeline.... See this thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=37234
  12. http://www.empireonline.com/features/deadpool-trailer-breakdown/p2 There's your answer.
  13. Different actor. Daniel Cudmore played Colossus in the X-Men movies. Andre Tricoteux plays him in Deadpool.
  14. So it's Air Superiority with an actual objective. For those of you who never played Battlefield, Air Superiority was a game mode that started in Battlefield 1943 that focused on, if you haven't guessed it, aerial combat. Great mode. It disappeared then came back in Battlefield 3 as part of a DLC. People played when it first came out and only because it was a requirement for an unlock. That's where things went downhill. You ended up with a lone good pilot on 1 team that came out of the round with a 60-1 kill-death score who would ruin it for all the other non-pilots in the match. After that, then you had to deal with constant lock-ons. Because of the cool-down time for jet counter-measures, you would end up chaffing/flaring 1 missile only to be locked on to 5 seconds later. The only other way to defeat missile lock-ons was the hit the deck (fly to the ground). That was fun [/sarcasm]. Then came all the jet rams. All. Those. Jet. Rams. If it you were not rammed into or knocked to the ground by a jet ram at least 3 times a round, consider yourself lucky. The game mode ended up dying after a few months, or as long as it took to get the unlocks. It came back in Battlefield 4 and didn't change much, only this time, you could play with attack helicopters as well as planes (thankfully it was planes only or helicopters only, no mixing). Still all the same problems. Still the same reasons to play it. Most people only played it to get an unlock or unlock better toys for your jet or to practice. Lone Ace on 1 team basically decided the game. Missile lock-ons still happened. Jet rams still happened. And the bugs stayed in there. That game mode only lasted 2 months and sporadically afterwards as it was needed to unlock stuff. So to see it appearing again for Battlefront, despite what changes they've made or what they call it, still doesn't change my outlook on that game mode.
  15. Green band trailer (Green band????) https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=13&v=ONHBaC-pfsk Red band trailer
