    New WIP. Obviously inspired by lots of things we know and love, but not any specific mecha that already exists.

    Thorin looks waaay too young. Balin, who is 17 years younger than Thorin is show with almost completely white hair and bald. That is one character decision I really don't care for.

    My wife wasn't a huge fan at first, but now she is totally into it. I think the show is hilarious!
  4. the white drew carey
    Rimshot.
  5. the white drew carey
    Is it me, or were a lot of those special effects very bush league?
  6. the white drew carey
    Looking better all of the time.
  7. the white drew carey
    Cool. Thanks for the help!
  8. the white drew carey
    Yeah, I saw those too, but thought the same thing.

    OK, so I am going to cut out the RX-93 NU Double Fin as redundant, and the MSZ-009M Mega Zeta as non-canon. Does anyone know what the color scheme of the RGM-88X Jeddah is supposed to be? If not, I will cut that one, too. But I don't want to.

    Well, damn. I read that ENTIRE article when I first started looking, but never bothered to look at the box on the right with his info. Duh!
  11. the white drew carey
    Well, I guess official anime in one list, and then novels and unofficial in another? Is there any credible material that he actual piloted the A1 version of the Zplus? The purpose is tip-top secret, although one can probably guess by my hobby proclivities what it is... Or even more to the point, do we even include ones like the NT1 Alex, built for Amuro, but never actually used by him?
  12. the white drew carey
    OK, I need an accurate list of all of the mobile suits Amuro Ray was known to have piloted. Go.
  13. the white drew carey
    I'd go with the Senator Craig version (aka- wide stance). Much, much better.
  14. the white drew carey
    Great landing!
  15. the white drew carey
    It looks a lot like one of the racers from Wipeout. But, if I had to give any advice, get rid of, or alter, the stabilizer. It just looks out of place with the rest of the aesthetic.

    That is probably good. As much as I wanted to like QoS, I didn't.

    There's nothing I can say that will improve on what 505thAirborne said.
  20. the white drew carey
    Hmmm... That is all I am going to say right now.

    If you are referring to No. 95 c 2972 then, yes, I have read it. At no point does the judge say that TCI didn't have the rights. He merely states that Fasa's argument that they had model rights doesn't apply here. "Contrary to defendants' assertions, plaintiffs do not rely on the rights to Japanese model kits in bringing this suit. Rather, plaintiffs dispute FASA's use of the Macross designs for its entire "Battletech" product line." He is basically saying that the model rights, whether legally obtained or not, are not the basis for the lawsuit. But he never even touches whether or not TCI had the legal right to distribute the model kits.
  22. the white drew carey
    True that. It does speak volumes. Some have argued whether or not TCI actually had any rights to pass along to Fasa. It could be that Fasa was duped by TCI into thinking they had more than they had any right to. Who knows? None of us. It definitely didn't end well for Fasa, but we can't go around passing off speculation as fact, either.
  23. the white drew carey
    I think you are wrong here. Given, I haven't bothered with the whole HG/Fasa thing for a while, but I used to own three of the aforementioned kits, and did a lot of research back in the heyday of HG licensing debates, and the kits WERE licensed by Tatsunoko to Twentieth Century Imports (I found the right name). Nichimo was not part of the deal on that, or, if they were, they were a minor participant only to supply product Since the final resolution between HG and Fasa is undisclosed, we have no way of knowing exactly who did what wrong. VF5SS- see above. Fasa might legitimately have thought they had full rights to the designs. What you are saying is speculation, as well. Reps from Fasa and, to this day, HG, still state that there is a non-disclosure clause in the settlement. Because of this, the particulars about who had the rights to what are locked away from our prying eyes. Anyhow, regardless of who had the rights to what, I really enjoyed the Mechwarrior games. The idea of bulky, walking, tanks just comes off so much better in these games than the likes of Armored Core, which wants to have their cake (big heavy mechs) and eat it, too (jumping around like a bunch of fairies on meth). I'm hesitantly curious about how Mechwarrior Online is going to turn out.
  24. the white drew carey
    Do we know FOR SURE that they didn't have the rights? Remember that FASA sold the original Nichimo kits under Battletech name, and that was done through a company called (I think) 21st Century Imports, who dealt directly with Tatsunoko. All I'm saying is that, IIRC, we don't know exactly what went down, or who did or didn't have the rights to what. For all we know, FASA could've sincerely (or naively) thought that they had every right to use the designs. Sure, it was all 80's fookery, but I'm pretty sure Tatsunoko sold to whoever was paying, and didn't give a sh!t about who should end up owning what here in America. @Penguin- re: Scout roles, you and me both, buddy! Let the heavy hitters stand there and pound each other. I want to be running around like, gathering info, taking quick shots, etc. @raptormesh- I totally agree with you. A lot of the designs may have stunk, but the world of Battletech is pretty cool, and playing that game was always a blast.

    I'm usually not the kind of guy to play games online because I know how addicted I get to games, and I really, really want to have a life. However, it seems that in 2012 Mechwarrior Online will go live. And I've always loved piloting a mech. I remember back in the day going to the Battletech Center in Chicago. Uff-da! Anyhow, here's a link to the site. I guess it is F2P, and from an article on Ars Technica, they say that there will be items that you can buy with real world cash, but "any item that would give players a tactical advantage will have to be earned by playing the game." Right now you can sign up to "reserve your pilot name". I was tempted to use my old Battletech Center call sign, Pavarotti, but opted for the white drew carey. It also seems like they have tweaked some of the designs, as shown in the media page, specifically the Atlas, Jenner, and Hunchback. I've attached a comparison sheet to see the improvements (?).
