"UWE BOLL presents a PAUL ANDERSON production"

Priceless...

Wii are not amused.

"Dear Tom Cruise,

Your lack of belief in the existence of clinical depression tells me one thing: you didn’t spend $10. to see War Of The Worlds. If vitamins can possibly help me out of this spiraling funk, please let me know which ones. Dinos? Pebbles? Freds?

Please, I’m crying out for help.

Alton Brown"

AB just plain rules.

This baby would be worth it just for the name:

That thing looks like Batman's Tumbler

Everything looks good... except the cast. The movie is supposed to be in an older timeline where Superman went away and everybody moved on with their lives, however Lois and Clark look younger than their Smallville version.

And all the fancy CGI in the world doesnt change the fact that Brandon still SUCK as Superman.

I was liking Spacey until that "I have advanced alien technology!" thing with the big goofy looking crystal... kind of bummed me out.

Does Megatron comes bundled with Time Crisis?

Oh, and an interesting bit of trivia:  Did you know that LD video is actually analog?  It's true!

387927[/snapback]

I've heard that. I'd like to know how it's encoded on the disk. Varying depths of the pits or what?

The pits and lands are created using frequency modulation of an analog signal, with the frequency carrier encoded using pulse-width modulation. Audio could be stored in either analog or digital format and in a variety of surround sound formats, including 6.1 channel Dolby Digital EX Surround.

I was checking the history of LDs on wikipedia... did you know LD technology existed since 1961 and the first public demonstration with the introduction of home players were back on 1978 in Atlanta... they were invented by a dude named David Paul Gregg, who worked for MCA, who owned the patent before being merged with Universal.

There are about 1 million players in home use in the US (compared to 85 million VCRs) and more than 4 million in Japan (10% of the households).

Some videophilies actually prefer LD over DVD because Laserdisc is actually an analog format. An advantage to the Laserdisc format over DVD is that video is not digitally-encoded and compressed, and therefore does not experience problems such as artifacting or color banding that can be caused by the MPEG-2 encoding process as video is prepared for DVD.

Early DVD demo discs often had compression or encoding problems, giving LD proponents fuel for the fire. However, "LD-perfection" is rarely achieved in practice. Only the absolute best LDs, few and far between, exhibit such superior quality in comparison to the newer DVDs, and even then it requires expensive equipment to realize the benefits.

Pretty cool read

Alan Moore gotta chill out. It wasn't that bad. Sure, it I was deluted and watered down like any book adaptation, but the material is dated and I think it kept the original idea pretty good. I've seen much worst adaptations.

Just kidding with you Limbo... I haven't gotten this riled up in awhile. I'll calm down. Too much coffee today.

No problem, mate

Limbo, unless you were involved in this, I have a feeling that you don't know the whole story. If people have PM'd Valkyrie and found that they've not been taken care of, then that's one thing.

Keep in mind that the garage kitters on MW don't do this for financial gain. They could easily make more money doing something else. They are fans that are trying to please other fans. This is not a business in the traditional sense. Ask MJ, Gundamhead, mslzz, honnemaise if they are making an appropriate profit to compensate for time away from their families and health hazards of pouring toxic resin into complex molds.

I know the whole story pal. I read the post and it is clear what happened. People are having problems with this thing since Dec 3 and on the last couple of days all hell break loose and people start losing their patience and decided to make it public. I know you want to defend your friend but the whole martyr speech does not change the fact that people paid money for something they didn't get. It is a seller-buyer transaction that was never fulfilled, and they were left wondering with no explanation or refunds given.

However you are right on one thing: besides my personal interest on the kit, It is not my money at stake and I have no business talking about it. I will say no more.

All I can say, EXO, is that I disagree. The Black List is a threat that should not be taken lightly.

What should not be taken lightly is the misapropriation of other people's money and trust.

And regarding the demand for the kit, many users would still love to get one... Myself included. But after reading all the posts of prople who paid for something they didn't get, I doubt anybody would trust sending any more money before this mess get cleaned up.

You sickos belong to a cult. Yamato toys are like scientology. Expensive and for the privileged only. Welcome to the elite of transforming toys. Sorry if you can't afford.

ps - And yeah, I do own 3 of them.

The latest incarnation of Arcee was pretty decent.

Now if they only would make a Binaltech version of it... dreams..

You are new and stuff, but in the future, try to do a search for what you are looking for. Some people get really worked up when there are existing topics a few pages back...

Thank you for all the help you guys gave me and all the privates with tips and all the seeds of where to track my new baby.

China to build world`s first "artificial sun" experimental device

Scientists believe that deuterium can be extracted from the sea and an enormous amount of energy can be obtained from a deuterium-tritium fusion reaction under huge temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius. After nuclear fusion, the deuterium extracted from one liter of sea water will produce energy equivalent to 300 liters of gasoline.

Bandai super sentai Changerobo, from the Changeman series.

Preferably on this country and for an amount of money that will not justify my wife locking me up for insanity.

Taiwan breeds green-glowing pigs

Scientists in Taiwan say they have bred three pigs that glow in the dark.

They claim that while other researchers have bred partly fluorescent pigs, theirs are the only pigs in the world which are green through and through.

Green eggs and ham anyone?

Dude... thats awesome. How fragile it is?

I'm proudly working on the script for Bruce Lee versus The Convent of Lesbians Assassin Nuns IV.

HAHA, not a clue what 99% of those lego characters are supposed to be (on the site at least)  I suppose the ones posted here are xmen, but other than the 4 middle ones on top, I can't identify them either.
