    First thing you gotta do is mod the instructions: (not mine, but so cool I had to post it)

    "Soundtrack disconnect" seems more common lately in games of all type. Music may be GOOD, it just doesn't seem to be "correct". I still think FF9 has the best "song fits the situation" of any FF.

    Just like Mass Effect! (I wonder if that was an intentional copy on Square's part) "Faster, and more western-style combat" is the current goal of many JRPG companies AFAIK, due to the relative sales of recent JRPG vs western ones. The actress is Australian, so she actually does, not merely "supposed to". The "weirdness" apparently comes from that she was instructed to try to sound "not so Australian" (and younger)----and what you get, is Vanille. This is what her normal voice/accent is: http://www.youtube.com/user/GeorgiaVC#p/u/6/JVc1JXTQDf8 (somewhat ironically, Fang's actress is American)

    Ash, dust, etc.

    Play nice.

    I find it kind of ironic that my ruthless renegade---saved the entire crew (even Kelly) and was faithful.

    Playable Liara would make it all worth it.

    That's an old rumor, similar info was found out a while ago---they just didn't bother to extract the audio and put it on youtube. I currently have about 99% faith in it. Since the exact same stuff/info pointed to "DLC about a thief named Kasumi" when ME 2 first came out. "DLC with Liara and the Shadow broker" was found soon thereafter.

    It better be Hrist! (though Lenneth would be fine too---I did pass on the DS game, despite being a huge VP/Lenneth fan--it just didn't sound like I'd like the GAME, though the story may have been good)

    First and last pics. http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/04/m...allajokull.html

    Asuka though, would be exactly the same on and off screen.

    I *expected* that it'd shoot. Surprised they didn't---but then of course, how would our heroes find out what happened?

    2nd Zillo Beast ep was kinda meh IMHO, first was better, but neither really up to the standard of the first half of the season. First Boba ep gets good at the end, presumably 2nd ep will be a direct continuation and should be better/faster based on the setup. PS--they brought in Jennifer Hale for like, 8 words?

    SR-71 engine is optimized for high-speed high-alt performance. At speed and altitude, a J58 is pumping out way more thrust than an F100. Same reason an F-4, drag-hog that it is, with only a bit more than half the power of the sleeker F-15--is only slightly slower. The F-4 has a turbojet, the F-15 has a turbofan. And in high-alt high-speed situations, a turbojet reigns supreme over a turbofan. "25,000lbs" is the thrust rating AT SEA LEVEL for a plane with ZERO FORWARD AIRSPEED. (which is why most specs say "static thrust" and sometimes mention sea level) At 50,000ft at 1500MPH, the relative thrust ratings of a ramjet vs a turbofan will change drastically.

    Also, glowy boosters are canon, and clearly evident in Macross Plus. Whereas I don't ever recall a bright pinpoint in the middle of a VF-1J's visor.

    Just the kit and the DX's description AFAIK. But we can assume that it'll "become more and more official" as more and more merchandise etc is portrayed this way---with Grace having a finned one and being remarked as "special" compared to other green Betas. I keep expecting that the 2nd Frontier movie will either show "finless" ones alongside hers, or really screw with us and give her a teal or blue or purple one or something. Think about it like the original RX-78 Gundam---it has become "so much more" than just what was seen in the original animation. Mainly due to ever-more-detailed retconned merchandise.

    Yup. Vehicle mode is 2x as big as it should be, and for what? It's kind of ironic--now we have vehicle-mode kibble! Ultra Magnus was almost as bad---if that gun was smaller, or just plain absent--it would have made a much better car carrier. Instead, it's a truck hauling a cube 3x as big as itself. I want trailers, not cubes! PS--G1 Rodimus sucked, and we all know it. Heck, most of us realized that when we were like 7 years old, and we had pretty low standards then. (I know I owned a lot of G1 figures that I now realize were pretty bad---yet I never wanted Rodimus based on how sucky he looked in the catalogs). Copying/homaging the G1 toy is NOT a good thing.

    Yeah well, you're not supposed to level up to an ultimate weapon and take out the optional post-game uber-monsters BEFORE you win. I bet the final boss is pretty easy after that much grinding...
  22. David Hingtgen
    Or you could just watch the 2D version like I did, and not worry about all that. (though I'll admit I realize that this may be the ONLY movie that I'd consider better for having used 3D--just guessing) Maybe I'll see it again, in 3D to compare.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Not the weight ratios again! Yeesh, there's still no agreement for modern real-life planes... (as wikipedia lists the F-15 and F-22 at exactly the same)
  24. David Hingtgen
    This is frankly getting OT.
  25. David Hingtgen
    Yup. I discussed pounds vs pounds-force vs kilograms vs kilonewtons with Graham a while ago, with regards to how valk engine thrust is reported. Darn gravity, always screwing up our valk calculations! (I didn't feel like pointing out the lack of "N" in the VF-19 specs, as that's not really part of the discussion) As for Mach--since no plane can achieve full speed at sea level, and Mach 1 is pretty constant from 35,000 to 80,000ft (where most planes achieve max speed), everyone just uses that. 660mph.
