  1. I tried, complete and utter failure as it looks weird and doesn't line up with what's going on. I give up on MKVs. If a group can't release an easy AVI like many others do, then I won't watch what they put out.

    Part of the reason in that you need to adjust the subs for GG is that GG normally time their subs against a non-MBS raw (CBC or TBS raw). The timings are a bit different on a different airing so you have to adjust it. Adjusting the sub script for a different raw probably ain't your thing. Downloading the MKV, only to spend hours re-encoding it to a more suitable size and format probably isn't going to cut it for you even though that's probably your best solution.

    David's suggestion for using Media Player Classic is probably the best, or wait for Lunar. Personally, I hate MKVs. I still prefer AVIs/MP4s (i.e. hard subs) myself, but ever since I switched to watching MKVs with MPC, I have not had any major problems or issues.

    Edit: Try some of the tricks at Animesuki's Playback Forum. There are a few threads about MKV playback lagging and they do offer some alternatives on codecs.

  2. For what you want I'd stay away from laptops.

    Well, laptops are okay, but it would have to be a work-horse laptop. I know people who use a workhorse laptop for photos, movies, and animations. But it would either a Macbook Pro or a Dell XPS or equivalent system. So a laptop could work for OmegaD3k.

    If you want to go laptop or plan on being mobile, I would suggest the Macbook Pro 17" or the Dell XPS 1730.

    If you plan on staying stationary, then a desktop would be cheaper and more suitable to which others have already suggested parts for.

  3. The cannon on the starboard side of that VF-171 is probably a heavy quantum reaction cannon (like the VF-27's, except older). That gun is all they have left to punch through Vajra armor anyways. This will probably be the last time we'll see it in use since they'll probably adapt to it. I wonder if mounting that thing takes up the slot for ye-olde VF-17 super parts (which is why it's not mounted).

  4. This thread is a bit more suited for 2nd season hopes. But right now, it really depends on Kawamori. It really depends if Kawamori wants to do a second season and he could close the book on this chapter of Macross or he could leave it open to come back to later (or a combination of the 2). Bandai could ask him for another series if disc sales hold up. Keep in mind a few things. Gundam 00 was always slated to be a 50-some episode series. They just split the series into 2 parts. Code Geass or Ghost in the Shell:SAC were show originally slated for 1 season, but received a second after success. This is why those shows had "R2" or "2nd Gig" added to the titles.

  5. I guess I'm the only one here that think that FAST packed Klan was incredibly cheesy ***ducks from flying chairs and weathered VF-1S thrown in uncontrollable rage towards me*** I'm just not into the whole valk girl thing

    Yes, that was cheesy and really made no sense. Gunpod? Yes. Super packs? No. Fun? Oh heck yeah. But it goes back to my thoughts about the action sequences. It could have gone without it on a level.

  6. 12 hours up. No more spoiler tags. But keep doing it if you to be Mod Roy's foot stool for eternity. His last one is all bones.

    My thoughts:

    -The action sequences were bleh. Half action, half character drama. I think it would have better without the action half, but we gotta finish the mess from last week. The character drama was good but the action was bleh. Neutral it is.

    -Leon is inching up the bastard list. Ozma and Cathy gotta lay real low now. He'd probably kill them if they got caught. I sure Leon would LOVE to know to know where they are... Well, that makes Alto Skull-1 for now. :)

    -Luca, I know your girl is in the hospital, you lost one of your best friends, and Leon has you by the balls, but at least try not to go all emo on me. As a dark knight said (in more or less words), the 4 of you acted. You all are responsible for the consequences. Don't think you were the only one who lost something.

    -Ranka did what she thought was right, not singing, returning Ai-Kun back home. Alto will figure it out, I hope.

    -So Alto, Ranka (after figuring it out 3 episodes ago) finally said it. She liked you (yeh past tense). Pity that she ran off. Planning on coming back either (yeh, sure...). What say you? [voice=Stewie Griffin]You gonna go after her? Tell her how you feel about her? Tell her you love her? Slap down her cyborg bodyguard? Gonna reject her and run to Sheryl?... [/voice]

    -I guess this is Brera's one good deed before Grace grabs his balls again and ends up either being skeward by a Vajra, being Alto's slapping b*tch, taking Grace down to hell with him, or living (probably not).

    -"Ao no Ether"... Guess I should take off some older Ranka songs to make room for it on my iPod playlist.

    -VF-171 with some Super parts... I miss the olde VF-17 super packs... :(
