  1. I'm very happy with the Shinsen subs versions. Super reliable. I'm running a sup'ed up laptop with 4gigs memory and dual core processing using a clone or dual display config to my 42inch plasma after being upconverted in my receiver to HD. I very rarely have problems with any fansubs (I watch a ton of anime and only have problems with about 1% of what I watch). I usually use VLC but also test with Zoom player, Media player classic, core media player, and Windows media player. I had a lot of problems with the AIA and Gattai (jittery and some freezing...plays for 3 seconds and then stutters then another 3 seconds of play then stutters ext.). I was having a great time with AonE but suddenly the subs font started showing up way too big in episode 2. Unfortunate since I've always like their work. Hope the feedback helps.
  2. Got my new Aquarion! Now I just have to wait until I'm done grading papers before I mess with it. Anyone know where I can find the directions translated or translation of the little book that comes with it. BTW it looks awsome. CHeers.

    Thunder Hammer

    God I can't believe I missed this post. I'm so late to the ball game...are there any left? PM Sent to exo. Holy Crap!
  4. try some of the other players. or use the shinsen-subs versions and upconvert to HD through a receiver then to your tv. They are really reliable.
  5. All 3 people I know that picked this up hate it. They wish they'd have never purchased it. They all hate the driving and find the gameplay to be nothing really different from previous versions. Also one of them is having a nightmare with freezing on his PS3. Even after the supposed fix.
  6. Please say that somebody is still planning on recasting these for those of us who only got one Ride armour.

  8. I didn't have any problem with the gattai subs just stuttering of the whole thing. At some pts it look like stop motion animation. Play for 2 seconds stutter play for another 2 etc.
  9. I had a gouf MG kit that was missing part of its head...I was so pissed. I still have found a way to get a replacement.
  10. I just got my shipping notice from HLJ. Soul of Aquarion is on the way.
  11. Anybody ever have a rear channel go out on their 5.1 receiver? How'd you fix it? I've had this happen on my sony receiver and want to try fixing it myself before I have to send it in to service since its out of warrenty.
  12. So who's got the highest rank in Warhawk here? I'm a Wingman with about 6000pts.
  13. Both, I have 2 identical xps 1710 laptops...my regular home theater one as mentioned above running xp and a second one that I installed vista for the bedroom with 2gigs mem running a DVI to HDMI cable to a LG 32" LCD set to either clone or dual screen. The vista copy is a tiny bit more glitchy but still works fine once its started. BTW there is a new update for VLC on the web...just open VLC and do an update search through it. I also have a host of codecs on my machine...I know that most people say you should have too many but I have good luck with high memory machines packed with codecs. off the top of my head I put these on every computer I own: -Current DIVX -FFDshow -CCCP -VOBsub -Angelpotion -Nemo codec pack I also add: -Realplayer -Zone player -core media player -Media player classic -Windows media player -Quicktime -Shockwave Every once and a while I'll have a conflict but its pretty rare. I also try to stick with the better subbers.
  14. I disagree...if I want subbed anime I can simply download a fansub. I prefer the dubs in most cases because I read too much already...sometimes one wants to just sit down and relax and not miss the action while reading.
  15. I use my dell xps laptop with 2 gig memory and don't have a problem with MKV or H264 files in HD using CCCP codec and VLC while cloning or dual screening my laptop to my 42 inch plasma. However I did have a problem with one of the releases of macross frontier 2. I think it was just the release because I had no such problems with ep 1 or any other HD content I've downloaded. I'm downloading a different version of ep 2 from a more reliable subber and will try that and wait for ep 3-4 until the reliable subber does it. I think the bad version I had was either gattai or AIA. I'm downloading AonE's version now. If you can play AonE then your gold.
  16. Great now we can pay more for non subbed anime from bandai visual...God I hate bandai visual. Freakin scam atrists. I vow to never buy an overpriced bandai visual product. I forsee a bad future for dubbed anime if other companies follow.
  17. Will it read them off a DVD? I've tried and can't get them to work or if they do the subtitles won't come up.
  18. Why is it that anytime somewhat starts trying to explain Linux, I get a massive headache. I'm glad some of you guys have a good mind for it...cause I surely don't.
  19. If you don't like the designs simply watch the movies and you'll be ok. The original series can come off as quite dated now and we wouldn't want that to deter you from watching some of the newer better series. 0079 has a great plot and by watching the movies you'll miss out on some of the lesser seen mobile suits and even some aces but if you just want the general idea the movies are fine. You could always fill in the gaps with the episode synopses found on the web. Once you get to Zeta Gundam in the timeline you'll know if you really like universal century gundam or not. If you do like it, then you'll try getting all the games, models, and other junk the rest of us are obsessed with. If you don't like it then you try some of the other universes like CE or AC. Now time to go back to my new Remote control haro from gundam.
  20. The suits get better later in the series. I recently read that Bandai now considers the Freedom the most popular gundam ever in regards to sales revenue. Its right up there in my top 3 gundam designs as well.
  21. I think that is an xbox 360 exclusive. Looks pretty cool though. Imagine being a ground troop trying to take out a GM or Gundam. I just wish they would make that Gundam Simulator you find in arcades in Japan a PS3 release. Its basically like warhawk with global rankings and such. If I had that, I'd probably never leave my house let alone by any more games.
  22. Anybody played the Megazone 23 PS3 game...I found one at a shop for 24 bucks. I'll get it if it good and action based. if it based on an RPG or Dating sim style thing (chat boxes and slections) I'll pass.
  23. In order of your selections: 1. The Strike Noir...I bought on its release day in Akihabara last year...wasn't really poplular but I find the design very cool. Watch Gundam seed stargazer to see it in action. Unique strike gundam design. I haven't built mine yet. I'm a bit backlogged. 2. 1/100 justice...very cool but won't be as detailed as the MG kits. ALso its pinker than it is shown in the anime. 3. The EX ship kits are awsome but you have to glue and paint them. If you have the skills go for it. These are also pretty big. 4. Same goes for the EX eternal. 5. Same as #2 in regards to quality. They are the same scale as the MG kits though which is nice for both this and the Justice since I don't think there are MG kits of them. 6. Supposedly the Unicorn gundam is incredible. CHeck the gundam thread since some of the members reviewed it there. Many moving parts. 7. I was thinking about getting Lucas MG strike myself...looks very cool. 8. MG hi V gundam ....a good kit. Lots of detail. 9. I've heard that this F91 mass pro kit (MG) isn't the best for quality. 10. Zeta gundam v2.0 MG is A true work of Art. Don't pass on it. 11. MG MK-II Aeug is a good kit. 12. MG EX-S gundam is tryly awsome. Very large, expensive and awsome. Now they just need to make an MG deep striker pack for it. 13. C1 Zeta MG kit. I would do some checking to make sure this is based on the v2.0 zeta or else the transformation will stink like the v1.0 zeta. This might be a prototype pic since I think this kit usually comes in orange colors. 14. G Gundam MG kit. I've heard this is only of average quality. Plus G Gundam is considered one of the worst gundam series. Its like gundam wrestling and kung fu with horrible characters. 15. The MG EZ-8 kit from 8th ms team. I have this kit and it is and fun build. Don't try panel lining it with a gundam pen. It over does it...use a pencil instead. The EZ-8 is a modified gundam and has a lot of extra hatches and stuff the normal ground type gundam doesn't. A good kit...I think I paid about $40 for mine. You might want to look these up on HLJ.com or some of the gundam sites for more pics. There are also a lot of pics in the macrossworld gundam figures thread. Keep in mind the general rule of quality and parts. (listed below from highest to lowest for parts count and quality. PG 1/60 scale MG 1/100 scale 1/100 seed series (scaled up HG kits) HG 1/144 EX kits are different since they are compled and require glue and paint. HCM pro are mostly a completed kit in 1/200 scale that have a quality above the HG kits but just below the MG kits. Good luck..
  24. Anybody heard about this new Gundam 00 PS3 game that is supposedly coming out in a month or so?
  25. I found the Eureka seven games for PS2 to be ok at best but if they are cheap what the hey. I played the PSP version while flying to japan. There are some pretty odd things you have to do. I totally forgot about the talho leg message part.
