It's gotta be the radiation... since it has almost no atmosphere, there's nothing to protect from radiation levels... and the best shielding we have will only work for so long.

*sigh* another potential idea blown out of the water before it's truely given a chance.... someday people will learn. There is every bit the possibility that this movie will kick ass. I only watched 5 or so episodes of the series (really wasn't that impressed), but I'm excited to see what a live-action version could be like. Sure some things will be different.... ANY time a movie is adapted from some previous form of media SOMETHING IS GOING TO CHANGE. Not all changes are bad (I was a bit miffed that Saruman was written out of the third LOTR movie, but I understand why they did it), and if you guys would open up enough to see, you MIGHT actually enjoy it when it comes out.

I am SO in agreement... Maniac Mansion OWN3D.

yeah, those servers have been down for long enough... I was almost to lv. 10 and I was hoping to get there before I went to bed tonight (Lv. 10 seems to be one of the big "opening up" levels) What does one have to do to obtain an airship pass? be a certain level? or do a certain quest?

Yeah, I'm in the middle of all the level grinding right now (heading towards lv. , but I'm trying to immerse myself in the world and meet as many people as I can... there are some interesting people out there.

A pity, really... but it makes sense economically. While I'm excited about the resurgence of VF-1 toys out there, I hope Yamato considers branching out soon.. if they can make VF-1 toys that kick this much ass, I'm DYING to see what else they can do (in either 1/60, 1/72, or 1/48)... there's so much other cool valkyries out there. I know the 1/48 is a culmination of much trial and error, but I hope the same quality and ingenuity goes into their future products! Graham, thank you so much for being our voice into the R&D department and telling these guys what we want... without you guys overseas I don't know how we'd be able to collect what we do!

If any of you guys are on the Panemonium server, lemme know and we can try to hook up! I've got some friends on the Bismark server, but I'm hesitant to start all over again....

Yes... the head does turn independently of the mount that it is on... it's just on there very securely. Don't worry, I don't think it'll snap off (just don't use the lasers as a gripping point to turn it!)

We have a thread going already in the "other" section (already many pages long)... join us there!

it just goes to show, the combat life expectancy of a VE-1 is less than 10 stories

Man oh man.... you guys who like the 1J are gonna have your wallets raped. Good thing that the 1J is my least favorite model, or I'd be crying right along with everyone else!

Neither are you. Quit acting like you are. I merely stated an opinion. The only facts I pointed to were the service records. BOTH of which are outstanding. I wasn't really picking one or the other. People are allowed to have their own opinions (that means ALL of us)

#1. Macross: "Do You Remember Love?" #2. Chojikuu Yousai Macross\ #3. Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu ("The Jungle was always nice, then Guu came") #4. Great Teacher Onizuka #5. King of 100 Beasts: Golion (Voltron: Defender of the Universe) #6. Macross Zero #7. After War: Gundam X #8. Mobile Suit Gundam: 08th MS Team #9. Kido Senshi Gundam SEED #10. Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of a Heroic Knight

BOTH aircraft have excellent service records in their fields of operation... Neither type of aircraft have suffered extensively from aggression of opposing aircraft. (I believe very few..if any of these have been shot down) BOTH aircraft serve as national icons for air superiority. Why trash-talk one or the other? I'd much rather fly an F-14 than a flanker or Foxbat. I think in terms of reliability and performance it still far outranks it's russian counterparts (overall, not in specific categories.... "climb rate"... meh what a weak argument.)

I just want a yamato battlepod... I could care less about the size... 1/72, 1/60, 1/48.... It really doesnt matter. These have been so insanely overlooked by toy companies in the past... a well articulated battlepod would be very sweet to have. (complete with interchangable missile armaments)

I just had my first party experience and it was a good one. Several of us undertook that "sightseeing tour" of Bastok quest... did some decent levelling up too. Afterwords me and this other guy went and went Quadav hunting until we could start killing them on our own. Now I've just got to get some decent gear..... this butterknife "onion sword" just isn't cutting it (no pun intended). Later we went after some river crabs... but with two Quads aggro-ing us and their super high defense, we got smacked down. But I'm starting to earn money and XP, so it's all good. Still on level 6 right now, but that'll soon change!

LOL, yeah I tried to tackle one of the Quadavs..... I learned real quick just how fast I could die. I've been in and out of the mines a few times already and I agree, it seems like it's best for Lv. up for now. I suppose the gear I have now will do me in good stead until I level up more (sitting on level 4 right now) I'm liking it a lot though!

LOL, man there is NO love for a beginning WAR in Bostok. Unfortunately I got stuck on the "Pandemonium" server... I won't be able to join you guys unless someone buys a ticket for it... and even then... I'll have to train like hell. As it is, I have VERY little money (what the hell do you do with the adventurer's ticket??) and true to form, no one will party with me. However, with only one or two exceptions, everyone I've encountered so far is very polite. And of course there are always a couple of mages roaming the plains just outside of the city willing to cast spells on you (they get EXP, you get protection), so it's kinda cool.

LOL, yeah... you don't know outrageous videogame prices until you go hunting down old castlevanias... try looking up the MSX original on ebay.... EXPENSIVE...

that movie kicked ass.... all I have though is a stupid Movie-to-TV version that was on TBS... so a lot of the movie is cut out. I WILL be picking this one up when it comes out on DVD... hopefully they cleaned up the resolution a little too.

I don't own the actual game yet, but if I ever find it for a price that isn't something like an arm and a leg, I may actually get it.

Hmmm, I may need to adjust my security level... it's set on 2 right now... (still downloading the updates...slowly but surely.... 7.5 hours to go...) <_< If it helps to speed things up, my avatar is Brave Fencer Musashiden and the email address SHOULD come up as jhousdan@hotmail.com. I sent a message to both you (Vostok) and Abombz, so if neither of you get a message from me, let me know.... thanks!

ROM, Rip, yadda yadda.. That's become my all-purpose term for any backup form of a game. Yes it is a Cd-rip, at least as near as I can tell. I didn't have to do anything to it to get it to run on Magic Engine. Yeah it's kind of neat that Konami turns a relatively blind eye to piracy of their old games. The fact that they DON'T want Rondo of Blood up certainly raises eyebrows (but then, SOTN isn't there either, IIRC). Some speculate that they don't want it up because they plan to re-release it again... we can all be hopeful, but I somehow doubt it.

Ok man, enough is enough. No one here will deny you your opinion, but lighten up a little. I have no love whatsoever for Robotech, but your post borders on being insulting to specific people who DO like it, AND are respected members here. Maybe they think YOU are an a-hole, at least they're kind enough not to say it. Do you see what I mean? Both times you've posted in this thread you've done nothing but fling derogatory phrases around without any real intelligence to back up what you're saying (I'm not necessarily talking about facts either). I'm not a moderator so I can't FORCE you to do anything, but I can say from one member to another that this isn't cool... not in the least. Back off a little man, please. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As for my two cents, I'd consider picking it up just because it was unique... but I'm definately going to wait until the price comes down. I've handled MPC's previously and I most certainly would and could not justify that price for the low-level of workmanship they offer. Everything else aside, the color is kinda neat.

1.Ariana Winston was piloting a Cyclops when she died... it was a 2-seater version and her companion died also, although I can't remember his name. 2. Horse's real name is "Tyle". He was named after his father. He got pretty pissed when Inquisitor Lenore Q-shu (or however you spell it) insisted on calling him by that name at Aidan's trial.
