    Bear with me on this, it's been a long time since I(think I) read it, but I'm pretty sure it's stated somewhere that hyperspace travel was the last technological jump in the Star Wars universe. Once they got that, they were done as far as anymore advancements. As far as I can tell from any of the post OT EU is they just got things to be smaller, not "better." Jwasko hit it on the head with Jedi and Sith being more powerful. With as many times as they've all but wiped each other out, something has to be lost in translation. Look at he differences in power/skill between Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu, Palapatine and Yoda compared to Luke Skywalker, Mara Jade, Corran Horn, the twins and even Anakin Solo. I also seem to recall even the 7 forms being lost for until Luke discovered them on some Holocron somewhere 20 some odd years ABY.

    Though, with what I've read on it, in the Halo universe time travel wouldn't be a stretch at all. All of that said, Halo 3s ending was left gaping by Bungie. There's no reason another installment couldn't/shouldn't have come about.

    It wouldn't be a spoiler at all. It's not that type of game.

    Finally.

    Yep. There are going to be two expansion packs to go with it. Most of the info will probably be released at E3 or Blizzcon this year.

    While I don't doubt the validity of any of that, it seems too bleh even for Bay standards.

    I was going to say the same thing. None of the movies ever had Skynet existing as anything more than a computer that came online and nuked most of humanity. That was the one thing 3 did right. Skynet came online and did it's thing. The only thing that really changed from the original is that Skynet basically forced humans to turn it on with a virus brought back with the TX. I don't recall anyone in the original movie mistrusting machines except for those informed about what was going to happen. Reese and eventually Sarah. Personally, I attribute the look and feel of T1 to the time in which it was made. It was the 80s and it looked like a gritty 80s film. Regardless of what the content was.

    Noooo!

    After watching a few of the other trailers, I see a lot of inconsistencies with the animation and the CG, but the above trailer is a lot better than the others and it doesn't look like a flash animation at all. It looks like sloppily integrated CG in an animated show, much like Transformers Cybertron was. There were plenty of parts of Frontier and Aquarion that didn't mesh well either.
  11. Chewie
    Eh. When you integrate CG into hand drawn animation it always comes off looking like this does. Transformers, Aquarion, Frontier, this. It doesn't flow exactly right. The level of cleanliness for the animation between them may be a lot different, but it's the same thing.

    Going to be the major minority here but that gave me goosebumps in waves. Also, and yeah tear me apart for it, while the overall background/character animation is very kiddy, the CG looked and moved JUST like Frontier.

    I fully agree, but the fact that I saw flaws doesn't cause me to think that the rest of the free thinking world hated it. Nor does it cause me to start posting about how those who hated it were some kind of majority. They aren't and won't be in the future. Timing wise, it's perfectly set this summer after X-Men, Green Lantern, Cars 2 and if you really stretched it, Super 8. It's also 2 weeks before Harry Potter. It's going to absorb money like a sponge.

    Who? It didn't make almost a billion dollars in a single night or even in a short enough time span that could account for people having seen it by mistake before having heard it sucked or was terrible. For every original TF fan out there who pisses themselves every time something goes outside of canon, there are <pick a number> people who couldn't care less but enjoyed it. "The 30 or so of us who actually contribute to the TF threads hated it, <insert random reviewer or site that> hated it, that MUST mean the rest of the world did too!" Am I missing something?

    This was pretty cool. Repost from Gizmodo. At 1:38, is that an Airbus? A320?

    I saw the huge (leader class?) Sentinel Prime at WalMart last night. Would have picked it up if not for it being $50. They had a bunch of the smaller carded figures too. Was a TON of Bumblebees and Starscreams. One thing I noticed that WalMart around here has never really been good at, all of the non DotM figures were gone. Every toy they had related to TF was that or Star Wars. I wonder if they finally got/did a proper pull order?

    I've never had 7 bug me about UAC or defender. You can "change how windows notifies me" in the settings without deleting any registry values. Edit: Are you running any kind of anti-virus? Action Center stops bugging you if you are because it knows there's something taking the place of Defender.
  18. Chewie
    This.
  19. Chewie
    That hurt me.

    David, I don't know why your windows aren't staying the same. I've never had that issue. As for lists, I think they want you to focus more on pinning. You can pin multiple things to a single icon on the task bar now and quickly access them from there. It constantly asking you where to download and save something is a browser thing. Also, like Hiriyu said, turn off "user account control" to stop it from bugging you all the time. I've personally never had any issues with webpages, documents, programs, etc. having the wrong settings when it came to resolution or dpi running various sizes of monitors. What are you trying to do with the font sizes? Different sizes in different places? Try the ctrl+mousewheel resize. Maybe you'll find something you like without the manual headaches. The basic problem I see a LOT of people run into is that they are so used to an ancient OS that they want the new one to be the old one with better behind the scenes mechanics. That isn't the case with 7. It's just simply not XP. Modding the crap out of your system to make it resemble/run XP ends up making the whole point for upgrading moot. You'll end up sucking all kinds of resources just to make sure it looks pretty over learning how to use and become acquainted with the new OS. It sucks, but its generally a necessity.

    The gloss makes it look really cheap. I had no idea 1/60 19s were so big. Definitely missing out over here. =\

    Got a month of DCUO for free and my account wasn't even active. Woot.

    Optimus is the VF-1 of the TF universe. Not really surprising. I just wish they'd do something else with the inside of the trailer. Roller is fine but the rest of that crap, while a homage to the original, just makes no damn sense.

    I told her almost the exact same thing today. First time I've ever seen my Sony rep offended. Lol
  25. Chewie
    Talked to my Sony rep today. She told me they are aiming for no later than May 31st for full online access and possible game only, multiplayer access within the next couple of days. Unfortunately there's still no definite word on the sorry gift they are aiming for. She said that strong rumor is 1-3 months of Playstation Plus access which is crap. Not to mention the SOE part of things is still in the dark too.
