Chowser

I think I was using PSP Video or something when I had a PSP last year.

I think this is it:

not sure though.

I bought a PSP to play FFVII Crisis Core and sold it when I finished.

I think all I did was convert some SpongeBob videos for my kids.

well, I have the MGS edition of the PS3 from launch day (of MGS edition) and I have not once tried to play any PS2 games. I still have my PS2 and I haven't turned that on in a long time. I was tempted to trade in my MGS PS3 towards the PS3 slim, but I thought better of it since I don't play with the PS3 much. I don't even own any blu-ray discs. Right now, the PS3 is in my living room acting as the DVD player.

I was wondering about how the PS store games work. For example, I was tempted to d/l FF7 and play it on the PS3. Do the PS store games run on PS3s without BC?

Just wondering if it is worth it to keep my PS3 with the BC when the slim comes out. Hoping the slim runs cooler.

to the OP. How old are you? What are your circumstances that you are here begging for a free one? Most of us work hard to get the stuff we want.

If it was that easy, why don't I just do this:

everyone, pleazzzzz, i need it, so everyone that reads this, PLSSS paypal me $1.

thanks.

once upon a time I miised a boxed 1/55 vt and boxed 1/55 ve for less than $500 on these very boards. I personally would recommend you getting the yammies... more banais for me.

Yeah... I'm back from the dead and agent's collection kicks my butt.. but I run pretty close.

and nobody pm me as I am still mostly dead and don't know when I will be back. Ecept for dragon, gain, and skull.

chowser still around?

welcome back from the dead.

to the OP: It's only worth what you are willing to pay. Last time I actually went shopping, I ran into a store with vintage Transformers and lo and behold, they had four MISB Jetfires. They wanted $650 for each. Nostalgia value aside, I said, nah. I could just buy a Yamato 1/48 and have someone custom paint me one and it would look better. If I really wanted to play with a 1/55, I would just go grab one of my reissues. Not too keen on the elint myself.

but with a non energy weapon equipped mech, doesn't the conventional stuff still generate some heat? albit not enough to shut the mech down, but what happens when you run out of ammo?

think i am going to dig out my MW3 discs and try to make a mech with no energy weapons and see what happens. i think MW3 was the game where it didn't matter where you put anything as long as you had the required number of open slots.

or i can try it in MW4 and just not use the energy weapons...

Kerensky and his followers left and traveled for awhile. Eventually, they found planets to settle and then became just like the Inner Sphere, warring with each other. Eventually, Kerensky's son, Nicholas rearranged them all into the clans.

There's got to be a synopsis somewhere on the web....

found it

History

After months of deliberation, Aleksandr convened most of the Star League forces still loyal to him (over 80%) and departed the Inner Sphere. After years of traveling, the massive flotilla of Star League refugees came upon five marginally habitable worlds, the so-called Pentagon Worlds (due to their near-pentametric relation to each other). There Kerensky's followers tried to forge life as they knew it once again, and for a time it seemed the Star League would still exist, far away from Terra, although this was not to be. Within a year, cracks were beginning to form along faction lines and soon the Pentagon Worlds were at war: an eerie parallel to the carnage unfolding concurrently in the Inner Sphere, a conflict now known as the First Succession War. At this, Kerensky prepared to gather the precious few troops still loyal to him, when he suffered a massive heart attack and as his dying wish, Kerensky left the reigns of the Exile Star League in the hands of his son, Nicholas. Kerensky's son took 800 of his best warriors and 600 civilian families away to a planet known as Strana Mechty ("land of dreams" in Russian) where he forged a new order. This order was known as the Clans. Those who possessed exceptional military skill became the breeding stock of what would become a hereditary ruling class. They embodied the pinnacle of combat prowess, and were put through a variety of competitive and selective processes with each generation to produce virtual super-soldiers. They were charged to protect the weak and powerless, but primarily to take back the Pentagon Worlds and, some day, the Inner Sphere where they, the Clans, would reinstate the glorious Star League.

In the beginning there were twenty clans, each with forty warriors. Over time, three clans were Absorbed (Clans Widowmaker, Mongoose, Burrock), two were Annihilated (Clans Wolverine and Smoke Jaguar), one was Abjured (Clan Nova Cat), another was split in two (Clan Wolf), and two eventually merged with Inner Sphere nations (Clans Ghost Bear and Snow Raven, respectively). Today, the Clans are almost wholly unrecognizable, compared to their forebears.

Though Clan history speaks of twenty Clans and the Eight Hundred Bloodnamed, Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht encountered information on board the Wolf Clan flag vessel, Dire Wolf that lead him to suspect the number may have been as low as six hundred or greater than eight hundred. It is possible that the practices of Reaving and the ilKhan's right to primogeniture were later attempts to retcon this information. It is also likely that the Annihilation of Clan Wolverine and Absorption of Clans Widowmaker and Mongoose altered the Bloodcount.

$150!! Ouch, even discounted, it's like $130. Anyone know what brand the goggles are? If they are decent, I might pick it up, if not, game only for me.

Actually what the heck happened during the "Dark Age"? I read/owned all the BT novels up to when the Star League was reborn, Candace settled her feud with Romano, Victor was ComStar, Grey Death was destroyed and that's it. Didn't read the Mechwarrior books or the Dark Ages or anything afterwards.

that's about all I can remember off the top of my head.

I hope I got it right.

When I was watching the resent episode of torchwood on BBC America

When Capitan Jack landed in England a hundred years ago and discovered he cant die, and worked for torchwood he found out that he would have to wait a hundred years to find the Doctor why did he forget that He himself was in England in 1940 during the Blitz when he First met the Doctor and Rose why did he not try to stop the hole thing from starting if he wanted to die.

don't read if you don't want to get spoiled for the season that just ended.

I'd always assumed from the novels and game info that Jamie Wolf and the Dragoons were kinda the eyes and ears for the clans in the inner sphere. It was kinda conveinent that the Dragoons were not to far away, when the clans jumped in system for the first time.

Yeah, the Dragoons picked up a bunch of old Star League era mechs from caches on their way into the IS, but they were surprised that their mechs were still more advanced than the rest of the IS who let their tech knowledge get lost. They guarded their mechs and resupplied when needed. after the fourth succession war, the dragoons were ordered to cease all contact with the clans and prepare the IS for a clan invasion.

The new game takes place in 3015. The Dragoons came in 3005. In 3015 they were working for the free worlds league during the marik civil war, so they could be mentioned about in the game. after that they went to work for house steiner, so i don't see them getting close to deshlar in 3015 since it's right next to house kurita.

either way, i'm happy to have a new mechwarrior game to play. now i need to find my cable to hook the pc up to the big screen again.

I'm ok with just the name Mechwarrior. Now, we're in 3015 on Deshler. I'm kinda glad they are limiting the variants and making it harder to make my own variant. It makes you make do with what you get. Given the timeline, it's harder to get mech parts, mechs were passed on, etc. I don't think most people are going to be thinking about Activision's Mechwarrior from 1989 when people mention mechwarrior today. Most gamers today are too young to remember back that far anyway.

No pulse lasers, I don't think the Inner Sphere had pulse lasers until after the Clans showed up.

I think I still have mechwarrior 1 on floppy somewhere. Oh where are you Gideon Braver. I doubt it will run on my system now. I think I tried to install it once on WinXp and the fights just moved so fast, it was over before I could do anything. I've got 2, 3, and 4 and all the expansions lying around here. Hopefully when MekTek.net releases the free version of 4, it'll work better with vista. I haven't tried to load any of the MW games on a vista machine yet.

I kinda preferred the MW4 mech building over the MW3 version since the MW3 version let me put anything I want anywhere on the mech. Pulse lasers in the legs??? I thought it was odd, but I did it anyway.

I wonder if my Battletech I and Battletech II would still work? I know I have those somewhere too, I just found the box and manual (old style copy protection, ha!) for it when I moved, but the discs are somewhere else.

I tivoed the xmas episode last week, but haven't watched it yet. we're supposed to be getting the torchwood series and the start of the next who season like the 20th or something on BBCA.

Hello all

Just trying to find some strike\super fast packs for my 1/60 v2.0 VF-1S Max valkyrie. All accessories must be present and preferably an unused sticker sheet\instructions manual.

I want the fast packs shipped loose as I have no intention of keeping the box.

Send me all offers via pm

Can pay via paypal, seller must be able to send items to Greece, Europe!

Thanks

have you tried contacting VFTF1? He's already in Europe.

if not, i will weigh and check when i get home from vacation later this week to get you shipping quotes.

Don't know why I bought the beta when I sold my alpha back in '07. anyone got a loose Scott Alpha? I don't really care about looseness, I will only be displaying it in fighter mode anyways.

Disregard, I remembered what I was going to do now, I just wanted the bookcase box, I will sell the Beta off later.

Wow!!!

Four thumbs up for DYNO

Got my two sets of 1/60 v.2 side covers today! That's some fast shipping!

Now, I just gotta figure out where I packed all my 1/60s. I hate moving.

yeah, my order was for two 1/60s and a super fast pack, shipping was about $63 for EMS. I haven't gotten charged any extra tax by customs for any EMS or SAL mail before.

I order stuff out of hong kong monthly for work and only ever had one customs call on one order.

sale is going quick, EMS shipping kinda kills it, wonder what SAL would've cost me. I think EMS cost me $64 for two valks and a fast pack.

But it should be here by the end of the week, so I can't complain too much.

d/l'ed Broken Steel the other day, just had to go find a save file that was close enough to the end that I did Anchorage and The Pitt with. I just finished the game again and just woke up to start Broken Steel. Will get back to it when I am off the next three days.

DAMN YOU!!! For the shameless plug! I'm not even into the whole Star Wars thing, but I would certainly like to have one of these just for the heck of it; if they're affordable! Please send me a PM with a price on what something like this would cost. Thanks!

Trust me, he does very fine work

Now all my collecting has to stop. I am now paying two mortgages. So until we get the old house rented out or sold, I'm out of collecting for abit...

I agree, 5-Series Gran Turismo, sucks.

I was planning on getting a 535 next because my 325xi is too small, and was waiting for pics/specs on the GT. I will probably wait to see more pics of the other 2010 5-series before I decide to get one.

I just don't get the hatchback 5...

Maybe the story of how Raiden went from MGS2 to MGS4????

We'll know in about 30 secs.

and of course a billion people are online trying to load the page so it is real slow...

I end up spending my money on lightsabers and paying Roy's Blues to put them together.

Else, any overtime I get, I put it aside for Macross/Star Wars stuff. Usually, but since we're in the process of moving, any overtime gets put towards paying for both houses until we get the old one sold and in this market, that may be years. But I find that I've been spending too much money on my stupid car. It needs nothing, but I keep spending money for stuff. Just dropped a bunch on a snow tire/wheel package (yes, I know it's Spring). I could've bought every 1/60 Yamato coming out with the amount of $$ I spent on snow tires/wheels for my all-wheel drive car.

Any chance of Yamato releasing different colored heatshields? Don't really want to pick up a DYRL-1A Max just to get a blue heatshield for Max-1S.

Oh Yamato, way to milk us.

I dvr'd it last night, I will try to watch it in the next day or too. Glad to hear they are finally killing people. I got so sick of seeing everyone eject in the old cartoons that I stopped watching them. Even as a kid, I kinda thought, man, how come no one dies in this cartoon???
