  1. Actually his quote is it "may have deeper meaning". I think Anno gets off on trolling the audience a bit (can't blame him). I also think he wants Evangelion to be different things to different people. A Christian will view it differently than an Atheist or a Muslim. I think he wants different interpretations to spark conversation too. His comment when viewed through the lens of "trolling" adds right up. I think the biggest "means different things to different people" is the difference in how it is viewed by optimists compared to nihilists. A lot of optimists see Neon as a little depressing where nihilists see it as uplifting (specifically Shinji and his choice).
  2. I don't know Christianity any more than I know any other religion. I understood and enjoyed Evangelion a lot. Granted, it took multiple viewings and some EvaWiki reading to understand everything.
  3. You don't need to understand anything about Christianity to understand Evangelion. Anno used a lot of Christian "words/names" but nothing in the story relies on knowing anything about their meaning or context. And not all of the religious words/names were Christian. The only religious "tie in" is that maybe you could argue that The First Ancestral Race is what humans perceived as "God".
  4. Doesn't seem slow to me. How often are releases normally? Seems to me that they have kept pace (some of them being Delta though).
  5. He's an engineer. He's a "Someone designed that glass to be twice as big as it needs to be" kind of person.
  6. MS NU is 15.25". With the Funnels 24". PG PS is 12.75" to the top of the head. With all the weapons stowed on the pack it's 19". I won't be using the NU's docking platform.
  7. I agree it looks cool. It doesn't match my display style though. And I don't want to suck that much vertical display up in one of my cases. But, if it's the same height or shorter than my PG Perfect Strike I'll put it next to that. It's quite tall with all of the weapons.
  8. Oh, I don't mind her thinking I'm goofy because I buy toys (she doesn't though). If she gave me flack about the money front..........buh bye! And yeah, compared to my decade of roadracing motorcycles toys are NOTHING in comparison. A racing season was $150K+. Even if you include my new hobby of riding supper Gucci mountain bikes........still not close!
  9. If I had to hide things from my wife.........I'd divorce her.
  10. I hope no one makes one. I've got four 21's. If someone brings something out I'm going to have to decide if I'm going to replace them. I don't even want to think about that!
  11. But better than buying $700 of junk. I actually had two on PO. I just canceled one. I'll wait and see on the second.
  12. Hmmmmmmmm If my wife wasn't getting the NU for my B Day I would be tearing my hair out deciding to wait or not. If I do have my wife get me one now....................................it's guaranteed that there will be a re-print. You guys can thank me then.
  13. I ordered mine from BBTS for this exact reason. An that they take so long to get in that I will be able to get 4-5mo worth of reviews before I lose the opportunity to cancel. Those pics are looking pretty horrible......YIKES
  14. It's going to get a lot of flack from the people that want it, but can't afford it. Conscious or subconscious. It's human nature and I see it EVRYWHERE. You should see it in the mountain bike world. The high dollar bikes are referred to as "dentists bikes" by most. And if you're a real rider you don't need something that nice. Even though all of them would give their left nut to have one. I'm pleased with the Icarus. It's no SOC, but it's good. I was just curious which one yours was.
  15. The same thing is happening worldwide to a very large majority of products. Who would have thought something like that would happen when you shut the economy down for a year plus.
  16. Looks watchable. I only ever played the first game through to the end (and was pretty much done gaming after that) so I don't really care how it matches up with the games. I'm not expecting much from Paramount+ though. These are the goofballs that built the Warthog for the show (I think). 1000hp and it's actually functional. This shop is owned by The Honnigan himself. If you don't know who the Hoonigan is you should be ashamed of yourself. Here is one of the best of the 10 Best Video's.
  17. Did you feel like the pacing/feel were different than previous seasons? I was detecting something, but I'm not sure what it was.
