Have I ever mentioned that I passionately hate counter strike?

I feel kind of bad that I immediately new all of them except 2, 3 and the last one without even opening them. :edit: I kind of like the Dom one, I love dom's

So am I the only person who noticed that this is a VF-25 BIPLANE? I could really care less about everything else that's going on in the magazine, I want to know about THIS (also Christmas Klan ) :edit: I mean, holly crap! if this was in color this would be the greatest 3 magazine pages I've ever seen in my life.

you know, I just noticed that in the promo shots the pilots helmets are blue. why did they end up making them yellow?

eh... I don't really seen any of those things as advantages, and I could honestly care less if consoles never end up going in that direction. FPS: I never really been all that in to games like battlefield with big vehicle maps and lots of people, vehicles = awful gameplay experience, I really have never found vehicles fun, they never handle well and they become the focus of the game, with a small fraction of the players actually able to make any use of them and everyone else ends running around trying to not get killed by the guy in the tank/helicopter rather than actually play the game. And it's not like such gameplay can't be done on a console if developers wanted to, It's more that the demand just isn't there. People by and large want faster, more aggressive gameplay. personally I do to. Also I very much prefer the actual act of getting into and playing a game on a console. there's no messing with servers and finding a game room that's actually the mode you want to play, has people who aren't going to kick you unless you agree to play snipers only or some stupid poo, and isn't going to force you to upload a bunch or horrible sound clips that you have to suffer through all game. I love the on a console you just fire up the game, pick a game mode and play, all the headache inducing work is done by the machine. Mods: I've never been much of a fan of them, after all 90% of them are crap. I don't really see the draw of downloading something that's rarely all that fun, has no technical support and frequently doesn't even run all that well. which bring me to something else that I really like about consoles; they are very stable things, I have a lot fewer problems with crashes, lag and other unexplainable quirks on my Xbox than I did on my PC even at the best of times. of course that probably has to do with the fact that the games are tailored to the specific architecture and hardware of a console and it doesn't have a half dozen programs trying to run in the background. And I like that on a console you buy 1 box, plug it into your TV and you're good to go. no installation, no OS to install, I don't have to spend 3-5 grand just to make the latest games run smoothly. not to mention I just like feel of a controller over a keyboard and mouse. And as for genre's other than first person shooters; well, I'd say consoles have the advantage in fighting games, racing games, action/adventure games, and even flight games (more arcade stile ones like Ace combat) all play better on console. So all the PC has is TRS's, wargames, MMO's and Hardcore sim games. All of which are ultra niche genres that I frankly don't find at all fun.

MW2 is probably the most fun I've had playing video games ever. I wonder if it's wrong that I enjoyed the airport level. there's nothing I don't like about this game, except for the stupid akimbo crap, people are finally starting to use it in mulitplayer and it's the dumbest thing ever. and if you haven't already, go give the museum level a try (don't forget to hit the big red button) Activision realizes that PC is dead as a mainstream gaming platform. If you haven't already realized this, you're in denial. sorry to break it to you but computer<console. (unless you play RTS's or MMO's, but if that's the case you never come out of your basement anyways.)

the shield sits under the tail.

shhh... don't give the mods any ideas.

oh, here we go, link I was hoping to find a half hour ago: http://anft.net/f-14/f14-history-f14b.htm The ORIGINAL original F-14B prototype DID have F401's, but apparently they weren't all that good (P&W engines not being good? SHOCKING! ).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_Sword

-35D, E and F most likely. the C was a proposed variant of the -14B with F401 (naval P&W F100's) engines and multi-mission avionics. The whole thing never got off the ground, and eventually they developed the F-14D instead.

saito is SO BOARRINNGGGGG... it's like he goes to work every day and says to himself, "how can I make my character designs as bland as a piece of white bread?" did I mention that I burnt myself with a hot glue gun a couple hours ago? It hurts like hell and now I'm in a really shitty mood. I blame it on Yamato, those greedy bastards.

make it in 1/60, recast it and sell it. would be the coolest add on ever.

but I'm a technological illiterate who can't even figure out how to find out this stuff on google.

Oh my god, I figured it out! You're Pizza the Hut's "secret Macross world spy account!" WHOOT! I can finally sleep well at night having solved this great mystery.

Masayuki is F*cking awesome and Takuya Saito is the worst character designer ever to work on Macross, so you can shut your whore mouth!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_X_Sword I've actually never seen it, but I found the GIF on 4chan and decided it needed to be shared.

if by "slurmty" you mean "F*CKING AWESOME!" then I totally agree.

Does anime-export make you pay up front for preorders? I buy from HLJ 90% of the time because they don't charge me till they have the item in hand.

does anime export require you pay up front?

So you'd be happy with a half-assed effort to convert a half-assed toy from one model of mech to another? would that make it a quarter-assed toy?

The main focus of aliens is "THAT'S IT, GAME OVER MAN! GAME OVER!" The whole Wayland-Yutani angle is really secondary to the main point of people trying to survive being in a situation where they're totally boned. And even then, the corporation side of things is more "big business doesn't give a crap about your well being." From everything that's been shown so far, avatar is a trite little "Nature good, technology EVIL" story, ironically wrapped in a massive, technology fueled package. Until proven otherwise this movie is still recycled crap about how science and progress are bad and we all need to get back to nature, because you know, things were so great back when every time you crapped, you had to wipe your ass with a leaf.

fixed for you (seriously, why do people like this mess)

ITT: people who don't understand the realities of economics and engineering, and that businesses are not charitable organizations.

I'm beginning to think complaining about the hip placement is a knee jerk reaction to it being a DX and not any form of thought out criticism. the hips on the 27 DO NOT sit in the same place they do on the VF-25. really, the only thing that looks off is that the crotch isn't angled out enough, and that's probably just because they didn't transform/display it properly.
