If you all care, Champloo Vol. 2 just dropped yesterday.

i like tfw2005 and tfans myself

yeah, like that Star Trek episode where two planets were at war for hundreds of years and used computers to calculate casualties and stuff and had the people deemed "killed" report to death chambers to die. back to topic, its a pretty cool looking piece of machinery

i recall at one point certain companies refusing licensing rights because they fear that when for example a transformer changes to robot form, the bumper has to split to form the feet. Their fear is that they don't want to misconstrue that the bumper on their cars actually splits - fear that customers would think certain parts of a transformer that comes off will actually come off on the real car. it's silly - it's like MPOP's smoke stacks being shortened because of fear of poking your eye out. edit to add: besides that, i remember companies like porche and ferrari rarely licensing their name brand out (they had that issue in Gran turismo 2). Too snotty perhaps? yeah, alot of car companies won't liscense their vehicles in games where the cars can be damaged or destroyed (i.e. Burnout series). Though, the bumper splitting on a toy equals a bumper splitting on the actual car is just ridiculous .

I do not have one installed as it only works currently on the older big PS2 consoles and not the new slim versions! My friend has one installed and you can use any hard drive, can also be old ones from your old PC! My brother was telling me that people are working on connecting a HD to the new slim PS2s through the USB ports.

Nice, sounds like an interesting series, I'll be keeping my eye on this one. Thanks!

nice, I've always like the Viper from BSG. Great work there Myersjessee!

Cross over comic movies won't be happenning on the Marvel side of movies because of the way Marvel sells the characters and stories to different studios. Blade is under New Line, Spider-Man is with Sony/Columbia, Daredevil/Elektra X-Men and FF4 is with Fox, etc. DC on the other is all WB, so its possible to see cross over comic movies from DC (like the rumored Superman vs. Batman movie), so a JLA movie is a easier proposition than say a Spider-Man/Daredevil movie. This is also the reason that DC comic movies have kind of stagnated, though I have have all kinds of high hoped for Batman Begins and the new Superman. I feel like Venom/Carnage is just a little too out there for the way the current Spider-Man universe is set up in my opinion. I'd like the see Harry in a a redesigned Goblin suit or just straight up as Hobgoblin (no power ranger mask, a cowl cape deally). Lizard is a given as they've already set it up. I'm open to any other of Spidey's villians, though I like Electro or Scorpion in particular. On a side note, I agree about the first movie and the Mary Jane/Gwen Stacy death scene. They could've worked Gwen into the first movie and then develop the Peter Parker/MJ relationship in 2 and 3. Throwing in Black Cat in 3 would be a nice little love triangle ( and we love our love triangles here at MacrossWorld ). My inner geek has been released !!!!!

It's all about giving young kids attainable goals today . Kids will think that if they hate their parents and are full of angst, one day the gov't or some secret organization will give them a giant robot to pilot and save the world . Anyway, I still think this a crutch that is holding back anime and keeping it stereotyped as childish and kiddie Side note, the mecha designs I find interesting and I'm a sucker for combining robots into bigger robots, so I'll see where this series goes.

Pioneer/Geneon is slowly releasing the series on DVD. Volume 1 with first 4 episodes is out now, volume 2 is due out at the end of March.

Me neither, but the Captain seems hell bent on getting us PT two seaters. Hey, don't fault the guy for pursuing perfection!! true, all true, if we get PT two seaters, awesomely outrageous . If not, we're still getting two seater valks. And always remember, be it Captain Mo, Cap'N Crunch, or our esteemed Captain America, you and the Captain make it happen!

Just give me a time and place and I'll put in my time off request to work.

Nice, I moved out here to Cali just to go to MacrossWorld Con. Actually I cam out here for school, but I digress

I am definately interested in this kit, but cost will be the ultimate decider for me.

since I don't own Bebop yet, I'll probably look into this new set. I knew that they'd probably release a new set with DTS and all that. Now I'm waiting to see a new Trigun release.

Yeah, Chuc Mung Nam Moi everybody. Also, if you SoCal peoples don't have anything going on this weekend, UVSA is having Tet festival at Garden Grove Park this weekend, Friday 2/11 to Sunday 2/13. The following link has all the info: UVSA Tet Festival Info Again, Happy New Year to all!

yeah, Tam is a good guy and they have a nice site and a great selection of anime products.

dude, I remember Thexder, loved that game.

yeah, all three books have been put into one mass market paperback volume. I work at Borders and bought it a couple months ago. good read and only like $7.99 or so

That's an awfully myoptic viewpoint. There was never anything wrong with the 109 per se, it was just horribly out of date by the war's end. It, like the Stuka, was a antique 1930's design fighting a 1940's war. But remember that when the german Blitzkrieg began in '39, many of its rivals were still flying biplanes. yeah, the only reason the 109 stayed in production for so long was because Hitler had a good relationship with Willie Messerschmitt and prefered the sleek lines of the Me-109 to the radial engine FW-190

I heard the next DVD isn't going to be until like March of this year.

yo VF Strike Valk, I'm in Ventura and I can never find any new Alternators ever. I check out the Walmart in Oxnard and the Targets in Oxnard, Ventura, and Camarillo pretty regularly. The newest Alternators I've ever seen in store around here was Tracks and that was before Christmas . Now there are just Silverstreaks, Hounds, and Sideswipes (still!!!).

I like 2 because of its simplicity, but 1 is okay as is.

I like 10 a little better than 21, but in the end, I'll take whatever gets made.

okay, so I finally just finished out Mac0 and here's my take. The story wasn't what I wanted or expected from Macross Zero, so in the end, I found the entire OVA to be okay. It seemed like the entire series was kinda building to a final showdown of Roy vs DD and Shin vs Ivanova, and to have them both be blasted by the AFOS was unexpected, but I feel that it fit in with the way the Mac0 story was presented. In the end I feel that Macross 0 was more about the AFOS, war and peace, nature vs technology. I never got an idea of a good vs evil fight between the UN and Anti-UN forces. In the end the UN won and are the protagonists in SDF Macross, so I think some would jump to the conclusion that the UN was the good guys and the Anti-UN were the bad guys, when the distinction could be more gray, less defined. More of "History is written by the victors".
