    I have yet to play Bulletstorm but I have finished Crysis 2. And yes, believe the talk, it's really buggy. I have yet to try the multiplayer but the buggy single player is a turn off. Levels where the voiceover or soundtrack keeps repeating for no reason, collectible points going from positive to negative values (it may indicate zero but it's actually the negative value of your points), bots that keep running into walls....Crytek has potential with this game, but they blew it making it a console port. Portals 2 looks good but I'm getting a "it's short" vibe from the gameplay vids on Youtube.

    No. Southern Cross was made and produced by Tatsunoko. Big West did some promotion for it but that's about it. Mospeada was made by Artmic and produced by Tatsunoko. Nostalgia is the driving force these days. And as many people have mentioned, nostalgia only goes so far before they need to bring in new fans.

    IIRC, Toynami is producing those toys for HG, so there's no problem.

    It was between Tatsunoko and HG. BW was never involved in that negotiation. Do companies still do that? Yes. Do companies still do it for so long? Probably not. Tatsunoko owns those merchandising rights so they can do whatever they want with those. All HG has to do is literally slap the "Macross" name on 1 product, show they are enforcing their trademark, and renew it every 10 years to maintain the trademark. HG is using those rights they purchased from Tatsunoko. They don't "own" it and Tatsunoko could buy back HG's portion of the agreement at any time. But since neither side is moving, we're still at the same spot we were for almost 10 years.

    It would depend on the kind of agreement. Most wouldn't... But then again, I don't think many try to be in the situation that BW was in. BW made its mistake by not having enough cash/backing/promotional opportunities for the project. It was either scrap the entire project when so much time/effort/money was already done or have someone else help finance it. They choose the latter and here we are.

    Gee...I wonder why... *points at large number of Hasegawa Macross kits*

    It depends on the side story. Cherudim SAGA appears in the 00V side stories. Those stories take place during the course of the series. It also showed up in 00I, which takes place in 2314 or during the time of the movie.

    If those uniforms get any tighter or that Invid's V-neck drops any farther, it might as well be a porno...

    Looks like a bad database update. As stupid as it may be, you'll probably have to turn off Avast's Web Shield till they release a corrected update later today.

    I should correct myself, it's the Japanese Patents & Trademarks office denial of trademark, not the courts. It's not a copyright. It's a trademark request they made after they got the trademark from the USPTO. Was it stupid? Most definitely. But this is probably something they did for procedure. The 2 requests seem to indicate that HG is a 3rd-party in the Tatsunoko/Big West copyright & trademark. They are not allowed to make that trademark request because the original scope only applies to USA and Canada and would be redundant in Japan. Judging by the dates, this seem to have been issued right before Tatsunoko tried to sued Bandai for restitution from Macross.

    In case anybody is trying to figure out kresphy is posting, these are Japanese trademark office's decisions from 2001 on the "Macross" trademark in Japan by HG (I think) from their US trademark. Simply put, they were denied. But we already knew that. Either way, nice read.

    Again, I have to remind you people that beyond real estate, HG does international distribution, acquisition, and licensing of shows and films. RT is really just a tiny little speck in their listings.

    No. No to that question. No to that question, too. And no.

    So he did meant exactly as it was in the article, i.e. "robo-tech". Allow me to quote myself from March 19, 2011 regarding this grasp for attention:

    The description for the YF-25 does not say it is participating in the race. The VF-19ACTIVE also isn't "testing" EX-Gear. While there are substantial implications for its use in an actual VF, EX-Gear's role in the VF-19ACTIVE isn't "testing". The profile for the YF-25 says it is the one that's doing the actual testing. Chelsea, being part of SMS and SMS sneaking in some "testing" into its planes, equipped her racing vehicle, the VF-19ACTIVE, with some original modifications, like EX-Gear. The VF-19EF is also doing data collection for the EX-Gear system.

    If you're gonna cite VeggieTales, use the proper lingo.

    I shouldn't have to post this reminder about spoilers in this thread. Next dumbass to not use spoiler tags will get a ban. And frankly I don't see the point of making a big deal of a cameo appearance.
  19. azrael
    Off topic.
  20. azrael
    Testing of the YF-24 happened well before 2059. Otherwise, there would be no VF-25, VF-27, or YF-29

    At that price range, without deals, coupons, or "garage"/ebay/craigslist-type sales, you'll probably do no better than a Geforce GT 430/440. On the ATI side of things, a Radeon 5670 is the highest in that price range. Most cards in that price range are not the power hungry cards that the higher-end siblings are so you will not have to worry about needing more power.

    Overheating? Use Memtest to test the memory.

    Didn't we already do something like this with Decade (De-ke-do!!!!)?
  24. azrael
    Ummm, I thought it was one of the overly hyper, super-suckup fans mods at RT.com pushing that idea.
