    SEED wasn't that bad. Especially for modernizing the Mobile Suit Gundam-concept. THIS is the one that brought the SEED-verse down several notches.

    Considering most are from genre fanboys and most critics are under embargoes which prevent them from posting until next week, I will hold my cautious optimism.

    Microsoft CEO Said to Give Bates Mergers Role in Revamp Now we know they didn't learn anything. [sarcasm] And apparently now you'll need that Kinect to use that XBone 'cuz it's gonna have that Ribbon or Metro Modern-UI interface which requires touch but since most TVs don't have touch-interfaces....KINECT! Oh and that spankin' new Xbox controller is obsolete now that the Windows chief is in charge of hardware engineering. TOUCH-UI! "USABLE"-UI[/sarcasm]

    While a great concept, we're rehashing Gunpla Builders in a new format. Why not just make Gunpla Builders a full TV series?

    Bumblebee is getting another reformat???? http://michaelbay.com/2013/07/02/bumblebee-2014-concept-camaro-2/ ALT: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-just-movie-31/bumblebee-2014-concept-camaro-officially-revealed-all-vehicles-unveiled-177914/ BTW, for the Automotive thread readers, this is the 2014 Camaro concept or maybe the 2016 Camaro.

    Steve Ballmer replaces Don Mattrick as Xbox One chief Yeah, instead of hiring a new guy, all the Xbox-heads now talk to Ballmer. This is gonna be great.

    How about all in 1 show and all on 1 kit-bash? It's a story involving customized Gunpla; it could happen.

    So...it's Model Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning G in a TV format...and with actual MSs instead of models and simulators... They have to keep the new generation entertained. I get the feeling Origin is gonna be the next Unicorn. OAV on a really long release cycle.

    Exclusive: Microsoft’s Entertainment Head Don Mattrick Leaving to Take Top Role — Possibly CEO — at Zynga? Now all that needs to happen is axe a few heads on the Windows Development team.

    You could tell what's going on in a Michael Bay-Transformers movie?

    We're probably crossing into the Car-thread territory here: http://michaelbay.com/2013/06/25/pagani-huayra/ Who wants to pull a name out of the hat for this 'Bot? Anyone?

    Here's a visual for people wanting to know what the differences are (courtesy of The Oatmeal):

    Well then, here's how it might have ended... Here's How 'World War Z' Originally Ended Before the Reshoots.

    Next MG release...

    I'd be wary of any review up there with a month before the release date.

    As I understand, it's not really a follow-up to SC. Not in that sense at least. This is suppose to show how Lancer/Yellow Dancer came to Earth during the 1st operation to retake Earth and some of the aftermath of the Invid (Think Mospeada's LLA with some Yun-footage crammed in there). Here's the RT homepage spread: http://www.robotech.com/news/viewarticle.php?id=488 Hummm... So there's an extra 40 minutes of stuff into RT's version of LLA.

    As I mentioned, let's see if consumers still feel burned by MS. There's still the creepy always-on Kinect and the +$100 price point of the console. And there's still the possibility (though unlikely for a long time) that MS will bring the DRM-restrictions back in some form or another.

    My suggestion: Read this thread and all the threads before it which we link to: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=36541

    Microsoft decided to make a dramatic change in the UI. They designed it based around an interface for tablets and touch devices (i.e., phones). While fine for consumption devices, it's been a nightmare for desktop and a majority of laptop users or people who still use keyboards and mice and IT operations, i.e., people on the productivity-side of things. The standard UI is very limiting because it is designed around a tablet/phone interface. The training curve for the new UI is too steep for most people to learn and or too time consuming for training. People had to use 3rd-party software to bring back the familiar interface which may break on Windows 8.1. While the hope was for Windows 8.1 to resolve many of these issues, that doesn't seem to be the case. In fact, Microsoft didn't seem to get the hint, at all. Microsoft tried to meld together a UI for consumption devices with a UI for productivity and it's not working. David Pogue of NY Times summed it up best: There are plenty of articles you can search for if you want to know more than my summary. Wonder if someone higher up called him in for a personal meeting immediately after E3.

    Microsoft will be careful about letting the DRM genie out of his bottle now. If they decide to bring it back later, which isn't beyond possibility, they will probably have made their money off it by that time. Will it be worth hacking by that time? I would like to see the long-term impact on sales. Will consumers forgive and buy in to the XBone? Or do they feel like they've had enough with Microsoft and move to the PS4? We'll see. Now if only the Windows team would take a page from the Xbox/Game Studio division and reverse Windows 8/8.1. (Yeah, I threw that in again.)
