  1. The X-2 Shinshin, which was a testbed for technology developed for the F-3.
  2. https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/meet-mitsubishi-f-3-japans-6th-generation-fighter-jet-52277 Looks like there's been some progress in Japan's domestic fighter program. No F-22/YF-23 mashup, but they're still looking for foreign partners to offset costs.
  3. Not even Sony Entertainment is dumb enough to start production on a movie that's based on a franchise that is this embroiled in legal issues.
  4. Or at least what remains of the Robotech fanbase, which I imagine isn't much.
  5. https://www.aclighthouse.com/sa-volume127-interview.html Translated interview with Shoji Kawamori on AC7's VR mode, along with the lead mechanical artist Masanori Ninomiya and art director of AC7, Masato Kanno. Mostly pertains to things related to scale models, but it does dip into the background processes Project Aces uses for aircraft modelling.
  6. Episode recaps might've made sense back in the 80's and 90's, but now that we have the ubiquity of the internet to look up the plot so far, they totally seem redundant and are a waste of screen time, IMO.
  7. I remember renting the original Destroy All Humans from Blockbuster way back when, and enjoyed it. Nice to see a remake coming. Reception seems pretty good, so I hope it leads to a new game later on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHMDrhBREXU
  8. A translation of the Japanese MoD's report on the F-35A that unfortunately crashed with the loss of its pilot, as well as the airframe. Credit goes to https://twitter.com/Task_Force23 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GOzw1wshVBf743aFhiADIv5DnDWbOYlTerdoF-mS3eM/edit Original report in Japanese. https://www.mod.go.jp/asdf/news/houdou/H31/20190610.pdf
  9. Keanu Reeves sure seems popular these days, especially in videogames. Payday 2, Fortnite, now CP2077.
  10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReDDgFfWlS4 This is some spectacular level of detail.
  11. https://www.pcgamer.com/us-loot-box-ban-bill-gains-bipartisan-support-in-the-senate/#comment-jump A bipartisan bill to regulate loot boxes is slowly gaining support. Will be interesting to see how videogame publishers will react to this.
  12. https://imgur.com/a/6scAGXP A twitter user by the name of Dantofu created this guide for texture mods. So far, the only moddable elements of the game are skins, the in game character portraits, and text as seen in the squadron intros before certain missions.
  13. I wonder how "hands on" Kawamori actually is in regards to the episode-by-episode workings of a TV anime.
  14. I don't see Macross turning into another Gundam yet, since its still primarily under the stewardship of Kawamori.
  15. I'd definitely back that.
  16. Not Barnes and Noble, I'm talking about a local franchise called Sakura Media.
  17. Yeah, it would bring some much needed diversity to my local anime/manga store. Most of its stock of models are Gundams, with the occasional Full Metal Panic model to break it up. That, and a tonne of Kantai Collection figures back from when it was still wildly popular.
  18. https://twitter.com/munkeatlooi/status/1130940718858604546 Well, would you look at that.
  19. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zbi8FrtczA Here's a neat breakdown of the air show demonstration manoeuvres shown in the earlier cockpit cam video, narrated by the pilot himself.
  20. You'd be correct, there is no traditional reflector sight HUD in the F-35. Its all in the helmet mounted display. https://www.rockwellcollins.com/Products-and-Services/Defense/Avionics/Displays-and-Controls/Helmet-Mounted-Displays/F-35-Gen-III-Helmet-Mounted-Display-System.aspx
  21. https://twitter.com/PegasusSSK/status/1135273827540316160 "[#EUIPO] First big win for producer #BigWest, who is allowed to drop the #Macross mark in the United Kingdom. #HarmonyGold dismissed ALL grounds for opposition, as unable to justify them. The beginning of the end, I hope so." https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmcase/page/Results/1/UK00003235006 Looks like HG is no longer able to use anything related to Macross in the UK.
  22. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF7FSDpFYSs Cockpit cam footage released by the F-35 Demo team.
  23. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE9EHQEowes Another year, another Call of Duty.
  24. Quite excited for this, Kojima always brings something interesting to the table, even if it doesn't always pan out.
  25. I see, thanks for the clarification. Checked the Tomcat in game again, and it does appear to have the correct control surface animations, where the spoilers are only used during low speed manoeuvres, and only the tailplanes are used at high speeds, so it appears they got that right.
