damn dood what do you do for a living? that's a lot of traveling you do there. Grad student with alot of free time over breaks. Money? Well, I've sold my soul to Uncle Sam. that's crazy, wish I did that when I was in college instead of drinking and hitting on girls...ok, no i don't but I wouldn't mind going backpacking now in my old age of 25... ...with some hot girls and Mr. Walker. ummm...what makes you think you can't drink, hit on girls, AND travel? For example, my New Years was spent in Lima, Peru drinking the night away with Germans, Brits, Irish, and locals. During my month in Peru, got 2 marriage proposals and hooked up with a Korean-Brazilian backpacker girl. BTW, I'm 29.

Thanks freakin' amazing! (i.e. the repayment) You must have been living in a cave with no electricity, riding a bike to work, eating ramen noodles for those two years?

Anyone have the bootlegs? Are they worth it? In general, if the subs are 50-75% accurate, I can take it. DLing isn't an option for me as I'm still on 56k dial-up.

OK...we have Asuka (Elisha Cuthbert, see above) and Rei (Yumi Egawa, see below). So, how do we get this live-action film rolling???

Oh. Got it. It's been waaaaay long since I last saw Conan. Not much repeatability for me. Founds some quotes...

*LOL* At first I didn't know what you meant by that comment. Looks like the website doesn't allow external image linking. BTW, DA's female cast is choice!

I must have been gone, but who's CROM? Minmay also wants to know too.

Inherited youthful genes I guess. Dude, have you seen Mari Iijima (Minmay) these days? She's like 40 years old and can still easily pass as 20-something!

19. She was in Battle Royale (2001), which I have yet to see. Apparently, she's been a teen idol in Japan for a long time.

You mean Chiaki Kuriyama... hmmm...yes...she would be nice, looks the part too. IMHO, Rei with black hair would work. Better yet, have black hair with that dark blue shimmer effect when struck by light. Know what I mean? BTW, here are more pics of Chiaki. Note, I suggest you do not open up the link at work, as some of the pics are quite risque.

CROM smiles at NOTHING M7. Not even a slight glimpse of a grin? Gubaba is sad.

You shouldn't feel sorry. You should be enjoying this thread.

I'll consider that an emotional response than an insult. Sorry, as a graduate student who studies AI/controls/mechatronics, everything that Sharon does (physical and psychological manipulation) cannot be explained, thus there is an element of "magic" if you will. But not "magic" in terms of voodoo mysticism, but rather in terms of unaccountable phenomenon. As I see it, combining the established AI-base system with the self preservation program and with all of Myung's mental past contributions ("anima spirita" or whatever you want to call it), Sharon manifested to more than just a sophisticated AI system. Whatever Kawamori & Co. were up to, they cloaked it under a blanket of technology. However, I do understand why people would rationalize it as all pure technology.

heh...when I was down in Peru, the locals kept calling me "chino" (pronounced "chee-no", Spanish for Chinese as you mentioned). I'd tell them I'm not. Then they'd say "yapan"? Again, no. They'd scratch their heads in confusion. So finally, I'd tell them I'm Korean. But they're still confused. Obviously, they don't know what a Korean is. So I'd show them a little world map I carry around and point to Korea. They got the idea that Korea was close to China and Japan. But after all this, they'd say, "But you sound American!" So, just to confuse them even more, I'd start speaking German.

Born in Korea, currently in Hotel California next door to AgentONE, UN Spacy, and other BA MWers. Now, ask me where I have been.

ummm...there was plenty of "magic" in M+, e.g. Sharon becoming sentient/conscious, controlling electrical cords to hang and strangle Myung, materializing in Dyson's cockpit, controlling the Ghost, and I'm sure there are other examples I can't remember at the moment. Just because it wasn't explicitly given a name in M+ doesn't mean it didn't exist. To be honest, the concept of a computer program having "anime spirita" is just as weird and convoluted than anything out there in the Macross universe. Nevertheless, that does not detract my liking of M+. I too love the tech aspect (no hint or mentioning of "anima spirita"). And when I'm in the mood for that, I watch the Macross Hory Trinity, SDF TV + DYRL? + FB2012.

Did anyone else catch this? The irony. Yoshiko Sakakibara was the voice actress to Sylia Stingray from orginal BGC. Check out the date too.

That's my guess.

Where the heck do you have room for it? On your front lawn? I remember that behemoth coming out right when I stopped playing with GI Joes. BTW, do you remember the retail price back in the mid-80s?

I had forgotten someone did that, I used to hang out (well, lurk) on alt.fan.bgcrisis a while back as well. Methinks you might be getting a few requests for copies of that CD. Well, if I had a CD burner, I'd be more than happy to make copies for folks. Or, do you happen to have about 511MB of free space on your website for BGC loving? BTW, I wasn't really an active member either, more of a lurker. Probably only posted like 5 or 6 times. But certainly took that opportunity for the b-clubs.

OMG! I don't remember the pic quality looking that good. Well, then again, I've only seen it on TV.

Damn...you made me all misty-eyed. Anyways, the SDF-1 itself attracted me to Macross. The story and characters have kept me a fan. Besides, Macross has some of the coolest flying stage props to boot.

Yo BoB, are you drawing any big girls?
