  1. Don't know yet. We'll see after part II of the Zeta movies comes out. MG Freedom (Shiny ver) looks tempting. Only because I'm too chicken to open my original MG Freedom. Dang it, why did it have be hard to find...oh wait...Hobby Link has it back in stock. *Makes order* So....any other stuff that comes with that Mk II ver. 2 besides the display stand, like say...improvements?
  2. PDAs with GPS look like they cost 400+ I think most Bluetooth GPS receivers cost about $100 US so a $300 PDA + $100 and you may as well get one that comes with it. But it really depends on what PDA you get. The Dell Axim X50v is a good unit. But I don't think you need all of that. An Axim X50 (no "v") would probably fill your needs. It does come in 2 flavors. The $340 version comes with a faster processor and a built-in wireless NIC. The $250 is a tad slower and omits the wireless. Both have Bluetooth so you can get a GPS receiver later. I currently use a Palm Tungsten T5. Battery life is great. Only shortcoming is no built-in Wi-Fi NIC. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with it. Works as USB drive, 256MB of RAM, lightweight.
  3. Should the mods close this, you are free to PM me. First question: How much do you want to spend?
  4. Lovely, more stuff to add to my shopping list for this month... which was carried over from last month, and the previous month, and the month before that...and the month before that.....
  5. And you wonder why I try to avoid real-world thought in my answers and just stick to and interpret what the good book says. As I said, reactors in Macross don't quite work the way we think they do due to Overtechnology. The process is similar to fusion, but doesn't say that it is fusion. It is intentionally vague on the point, and that's how I'll answer it it. Does it produce radioactive byproducts? It may produce a little, it may produce zero. But obviously, it's nothing to get excited about.
  6. It is a custom. It looks like a kit bash of Destiny, Sword Impulse, Blast Impulse, and a whole bunch others.
  7. A VF's thermonuclear engines don't work exactly how we think they do thanks to Overtechnology. http://www.anime.net/macross/story/encyclo...tion/index.html They may not even produce that much radioactivity.
  8. *Bangs head on table* http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...ndpost&p=311830
  9. Already noted: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...ndpost&p=314578
  10. Actually, the story I heard was he got f-ed over by his girlfriend big time, got real depressed, and started doing drugs... 316855[/snapback] I think the best answer is, his real life took precedence and he left. The End.
  11. Okay, I can scrap my plans on getting a Mk. II and get this now. Any reason why a ver. 2 is being released? Is this a reissue or a resculpt for the Zeta movies? Or is it the same just fixes to the original version?
  12. Did you watch the mini series? Did you look up the old BSG series? Did you google Battlestar Galactica? Do you know how to use Google? What points about the backstory do you not know about or not understand that haven't been addressed?
  13. From what I've heard in spoilers about Helo... (potential spoilers, highlight to read)
  14. It's in M7, episode.....49 and Fleet of the Strongest Women.
  15. Considering we've had 10 threads on the subject (still in the database, http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...ndpost&p=311830 ), I think I can understand Roy's attitude on the subject. Oh, and who said anything about free speech around here? This is a dictatorship.
  16. Definitely. Losing 2 guys broke him. He was already losing it after the crash. Two graves added enough weight to break the shell.
  17. Or did you get that file from a P2P network?
  18. where did you get the file?
  19. There is not such thing as "Raw Gundam Seed Destiny" (now now, we don't need comments from the peanut gallery.... ). It's "Gundam Seed Destiny" raw, as in raw anime or anime without subs. Are you using Windows or Mac OS? Do you have the proper codecs installed (Divx or Xvid)? What media player are you using? You didn't know? The hope was that there would be some character development in this episode but that didn't happen.
  20. Downloading ep. 41 raw right now....From the people who've seen it already, Athrun's half is worth a listening to. Otherwise, nothing new. Come back next week. Oh and they've put in IJ, SF, Akatsuki and Legend release it's DRAGOONs in the opening. Kira's half is boring. Go ahead and skip the episode if you want. edit: More little things: the coloring of SF and IJ's joints are brighter in the opening. Preview for next week shows the DOMs landing and a patched Athrun going out.
  21. Anti-UN? Best just to read the back story... http://www.anime.net/macross/story/chronol...1999/index.html As for why M0 is sitting quiet on the shelf... As said, OVAs are minimally promoted these days. Production values are much higher given the lower episode count. This is why they can afford more work and a looser production schedule. OVAs are not as big as they use to be anymore. There's more dedication to TV series or feature-length movies. The direct-to-video line has died down over the years due to marketing concerns. Looser production values can lead to tighter marketing. Many series are heading to TV land to offset the figures. And as Keith stated, M0 is fairly recent and unlicensed in the US (due to certain legal ramifications) so very few people have seen it. It's not easy to obtain through normal means. With the toy line, Yamato is moving away from Macross toy line. They do have licenses for toys however, they have yet to fully exploit it. Over the last year, we have heard of a decreasing amount of news from Yamato concerning the Macross toy line. Macross, unfortunately, with time as a factor, has fallen into a smaller niche. With a larger gap between series, decrease in marketing, and the creators moving (and quite busy, working) on other projects, it is very hard for them to get together and continue the franchise. Don't think that this is the end though. Macross will be around for quite a while, but don't expect news to come out every month from your favorite anime-related magazine about it.
  22. You do know that posting Man-Faye qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment right?
  23. Can we get back on the subject of why Minmei is a whore? Or why Scott seems to have grown younger in this series compared to Mospeada?
  24. M7 will recap the chronologically important highlights from SDF Macross and DYRL?.
