people like it because it runs super fast on newer computers, its basicly free, TONS of people play it, and its fast; wich apparently MOST people like. tons of idiot kids play it and cheating is pretty much a given.

Nope, Bush flew the F-102...when he felt like showing up, that is. because in the military you can just say "nah i dont' feel like showing up today"

human shaped aliens, the only obvious diffrence being a diffrent forhead configuration. their native language always has an uncanny resemblance to english. sci-fi serise, the heros ALWAYS end up at "pleasure planet" at one point, and it never turns out to be the eden it is on the surface. can't the heros just have a nice day for once?? true for all movies, serise, anything on screen: at the critical moment, when all you are depending on is your vehicle, it won't start/go into hyperdrive; but then, and the even more critical moment, it will finally work and you'll get out at the last minute. just once i'd llike to see the hero die because their car didn't start.

i think you need to look up cliche' you seem a bit confused.

i have a question for the eva people. what is up with some of the weapons these evas come with? my EOE 02 came with what looks like a psg-1 or something, it is a gigantic version of a real gun, and a freind of mine has the eva -01 with some kind of weird "eva sword" i dont' remember these things in the movie or show, the EOE 06 i got (the one with out wings) came with some weird blades for each hand, and a pair of special forces knives, since the 06 and company only showed up in the movie, and only carried the large double ended sword thing, what prompted them to release these other weird weapons? normaly i wouldn't bring something like this up, its just odd, since the eva's were only used to fight the angels (and some military guys in EOE) it seemed like we got to see the eva's every time they were used, so giving them weapons that never showed up in the show or movie seems odd to me. any imput?

ooh i got another one: vehicles, starbases, other outer space machinery that is so big it would literally mean the distruction of several planets mearly to collect the raw materials like metal and rubber just to create them

Actually, I believe it was a correction? If the Deathstar is like a celestrial body, it is travelling in an orbit and revolving about itself, like the Earth. From laws of physics, a "ring" explosion would occur due to momentum build up. Imagine a top spining and if you blew it up, see how the parts would fly off. Of course, the Deathstar is so large that you wouldn't notice the sense of it spinning. It's been too long since high school physics? not true, the explosion is so much greater than the inertia of a body in orbit that it just goes out in every direction. also inperfections in the object itself would cause nothing about the explosion to be perfectly round OR perfectly spherical. but the over-all shape of the explosion would be more or less a sphere. if the mass of the planet/star the object is orbiting was large enough, it is posible the explosion particles would be drawn to it rapidly, but it still woudn't cause that stupid looking ring it would be more of a tear drop shape, with the point pointed at the heavy object the explosions they originaly did for starwars, by puting the camera directly below the object, looked actually very realistic, compair them to shots of explosions of nukes in space. aside from the fact the nukes looked blue for some reason (?) the shape and consistency of the blasts were pretty similar. if you want to try someting similar, get an m-80 and one of those display stands that can spin. spin it real fast with the M-80 in the middle. spinning that little guy as fast as you can would cause scale momentum far greater than that of a planet spinning in its orbit. i bet you don't se a ring come out of the m-80. besides neither the deathstar, nor the stargate pyrimid ship could even hope to be as uniform in their make up as a planet. so the ring just doesn't work.

agreed, its stupid, but its a nessesary evil

"IT" what ever "it" is, always goes for the air ducts. Rings comeing out from the explosions in space: Explosions in space are Spheres, not rings. for examples of doing this wrong: Starwars deathstar blowing up (remastered edition) , triangular pyrimid ship blowing up in Stargate. - definate pet peeve. if its a robot and looks like a human, it will eventually loose half its face. giant severed fish heads.

as a non trekkie, and as someone who has seen many of the shows, i gotta say this is nitpicking on a grand scale! when ever i would happen apon a star trek show they all seemed pretty much the same. i think this is just a case of stat and trivia obbsessed fans over studying a product that is designed for exactly one hour of attention. not several hours per episode, ive seen some people take notes while watching. its just a show, for entertainment, not a science lesson or bible.

instead of makeing lifesize helmits, couldn't they have used the profits to make their existing product cheaper? hehe, everyone hates the american capitalist dogs untill they start makeing money from capitalist practices

Not like the rest of the characters, Hikaru is a real guy.

first post? hi! for some reason i get the feeling the eva thing is not a homage, it gives me the impression they tried to change it just enough so it would look technically diffrent. even if that is the only pannel shown of that thing, it does lock it into continuity and make it part of the over all history of the sentinals in marvel. i dont' think anyone should sue over this, i just think marvel should be ashamed of themselves thats all. honestly the most likely thing is that who ever is drawing this probly has little to do with anime, discovered evangellion, created the sentinal from what he rememberd of the show, and didn't realize how strikeing the resemblence was.

well its all there, so , anything from FF6 (ff3 u.s.) ever made? figures especially, but anything would be cool.

I'll add a question to this: Will they release the giant, non-transformable robots from the first episode, the samurai like ones.

Heh heh. I've never seen one with natural blue/green/pink/whatever hair either, but it never seems to have stopped them before. Funny how you never saw Max or Millia with dark roots. They must go through hair dye like there's no tomorrow. L'Oreal pink? seriously though, do the japanise animators intend their characters to be japanise with actual blond hair? are they supposed to be white or something? is it supposed to be died/wig or what not? is it just strait up artistic licence? seems kind of odd to creat actual japanise characters with so many white or non japanise traits and still think of it as a racially japanise person. hows this work? **edit** i pick on the blond ones in paticular because there are so many blond yet apparently still japanise characters in anime. both the blond sailors moon and venus? excel in excel saga. the girl in appleseed, and a bunch of others i can't name...

in reguard to the Source code leak for Half Life 2, all that snazzy AI and phisics they showed, and claimed to be real time, is now comeing out to have all been prescripted.

I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, but what is the trend to be the guy who says "this thread should be locked" "this thread will be moved" i don't get it. is the point to be the cool guy in the closed thread saying "this will be closed soon" seems like the LOGICAL thing to say would be to say nothing in the hopes the thread would slide off the page, rather than bumping a thread you know to be redundant back to the top mearly to say "it will be closed" i dont' get it, sorry to rant, nothing against you drew.

i was always under the impression that sailor moon was a white girl. i don't think i've ever seen a japanise girl with natural blond hair.

i don't see "galaxy railways" anywhere, what exactly is the name of the thing i should look for?

my only complaint is they have too good of posture. the end of eva ones are so cool becasue they have this gnarly , hunched look, its too bad these metal ones don't have it.

looks like photoshop to me. the carrier pic that is. we're probly very close to unmaned anti fighter weapons. i mean, its not like we dogfight anymore, everything is done on the range of miles using missles. so its really not far fetched at all.

FF6 all the way, i didn't like 8's whiny hero and super anoyng leading lady.

what is twin moons?

i never got the impression that the SDF transformed alot, i thought they just re-configured it to align some breakers or something so the main guns could fire. and didn't it really tear up the inside of the ship to do the "transformation" i only seem to remember them transforming once or twice in the show, and then it just stayed in "man-boy" mode. i also agree that compaired to all the other zentradi ships, the sdf is totally puny and doesn't seem to fit the design of the others; they being more organic looking. probly one of those things, like how optimus prime looks like a truck even before he comes to earth.
