  1. Well aren't you just the shiznat :p:) Meanwhile, I'll watch Macross F on my nice 19" CRT thank you. :D

    42" LCD for me, thank you very much :p

    Anyway.... it's really weird that this threat has moved so slow. Guess we can thank the lack of raws for that, but... still.... WEIRD.

    It would seem that after 3 cliffhanger episodes in a row, this one turned out to be soooooo slow and boring in comparison? :mellow:

    No surprises?

    No WTF-1?

    No alien-baby Ranka?

    No terminatrix/Major Kusanagi/Grace?

    No Booby spilling the love beans to Ozma?

    :(

    Just hope there's a decent RAW by the time I get home (Shinsen-Raws, I'm looking at you!)

  2. Try the guides at doom9.org for DVD. The PS3 can play back mp4 formats if I recall, and there's tons of guides a google search away.

    Either method will result in a hit in quality though.

    Doom9's converter program is the one to convert from MKV (as others) to PS3-readable MP4, right?

    That's a good one, and fast! But if you're converting a soft-subbed file (like MKVs), you lose the subs, unless you use a hard-subbed file, which is usually non-HD. :angry:

    I want HD hardsubbed MF files!!!.... pretty pretty please? anyone? :mellow:

  3. Anyway, I hope they at least bring the musical variety over and don't settle for country/rock ballads/orchestration. Half of Bebop's slickness was the music after all, and I would love to see that kind of soundtrack experimentation on a commercial film.

    but then again, this is FOX, so, whatever.

    Wha... would they get Yoko Kanno? NO WAY that's gonna happen.

    As you put it.... "this is FOX, so..."

    :unsure:

  4. I can't remember which thread I spotted it in, so I'll add it here:

    This is a bird's eye view of Island 1. The red line that I added is to indicate where I think the Battle 25 is. It is quite small next to the city section. Compared to the Battle 7 when attached to city 7, the Battle 25 is downright puny.

    Image from Macross Chronicle.

    I believe you're missing the aft portion of the Battle 25 (from where the first group of thin antennas-like thing protrude).

    Still, it IS tiny compared to the whole.

  5. I think I'll pick RB2, thou still waiting for any information about RB's peripherials changing (if it happens, anyway).

    I got both GH3 and RB. But as soon as I got RB, GH3 began gathering rust in the closet. The drums are the s#it for me, so GH3 stopped being of much interest.

    Now, with GHWT bringing a nice more-realistic-looking drum kit, I'm still thinking about it. The "create you own stuff" does nothing for me, me and my pals won't be uploading any crap we could come up with in the first place, but the sole experience of a better drum kit might just sell me into it.

    Guess I'll have to wait and see.

  6. But it matches the diamond configuration. The links I posted earlier says that the design teams decided on a diamond wing.

    You can't just take an apple and call it an orange by saying it's a different version of an orange.

    ALL HAIL TO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FIGHTER PLANE DESIGN AS OF TODAY!

    (just in case you've lived under a rock all of yer life, I'm talking about the YF-23)

    Regarding the delta/diamond/trapezoidal wing thing, I'll stick to whatever final word David has on this issue, and until he does, could you please stay on topic? :)

  7. "Died of old age in their sleep"? Jeez... Come on... By 2059 Hikaru (born in 1992) would be like 67... and Misa (born in 1990) would be 69 years old... Hell... even Macross Quarter's Captain Jeffrey Wilder is supposed to be a veteran of Space War I like them... and he looks healthy to me..

    Where did you get the idea of Wilder being a SW1 vet from? :blink:

    All I've heard/read is that he used to be a UNS pilot, nothing specific regarding SW1.

  8. The mom of Ranka and Sheryl is Grace...

    I shiver at just the possibility of you being right....

    But then again... what a de-naturalized mother would Grace be (without mentioning a BEEETCH) if she wanted to kill her own daughters. :mellow:

    Thou we've seen worse, I guess. After all, Touma (X) killed his sister, and then Kamui killed his lover... I mean, his best friend Touma. :p

  9. Thank goodness for that change.

    Not that it matters, but it makes me wonder when they made that decision--was it before or after the first airing of the deculture episode. Sheryl seemed like a whole different person before Episode 3.

    Yup. Thanks for that. I don't care much for either Alto or Ranka, so I welcome putting Sheryl in the mix instead of yet another bishonen competitor. <_<

  10. Funny, I consider myself an old school fan, having fallen in love with the original series way back in the 80's and I actually find my interest in the franchise refreshed thanks to Frontier, then again, people like me are probably the exception not the rule.

    I'm thankful that Frontier got made and, as you, I'm an old guard fan which fell with the original (bastardized) series. I enjoy it and still got excited with every mecha-porn we get from it.

    But I can't deny I have several gripes against MF:

    - The overly childish depiction of some of the most recurrent characters (Ranka, Luca)

    - An absurdly feminine looking leading "male" character. Can't help but feel some contempt, instead of relate to him.

    - Way too much of a "teen" context, particularly because of the high school thing.

    Some will say Hikaru and Minmey were basically the same age as Alto and Ranka. True. But they were never depicted as the tipical high-school kid who all of a sudden becomes great. Hikaru, even being an ace stunt pilot, sucked big time as a fighter pilot for several episodes! Alto kicks ass basically from episode 1!

    Dunno... I'm enjoying the series, but not really IN LOVE with it. Maybe only with the homages XD

  11. If this was indeed an Aliens-saga anime hommage/remake/rip-off/whatever-u-wanna-call-it, I want a BIG FUGGING BODY COUNT!!!

    Where's the dead people, DAMN IT?!?!?!?!?!? We've only had one tiny squishy death.... (not counting vajras) ¬¬U

  12. Leon (jail is too good, and he seems to be a traitor (at least a spy) after all)

    Ozma (they gotta push Ranka to her limit)

    Brera (he must admit he's Ranka's brother before dying saving her... pushing Ranka OVER her limit)

    Grace (IF she's not dead yet, which she shouldn't, we still need to now what pushed her the way she chose)

    Alto (IF he picks Ranka over Sheryl.... in fact, I'd kill him myself ¬¬ ... and keep Sheryl!! :D)
