    That too. And given it's almost certainly just supercooled hydrogen(slush because it's cold enough to partially solidify)... yeaaaaaah. Also, I assume the Valkyrie's nature as an aerospace craft means the focus is probably on ensuring you never lose power rather than ensuring it's flyable without power. In space all the control surfaces in the world won't help you get home. Also it's transformable nature. Power failure in GERWALK or battroid mode, you aren't going far in any direction except down... unless you were "skating" your GERWALK, then you might be traveling in a lot of different directions as soon as that foot hits the ground. So yeah... just do your best to ensure you have power at all times, given glide potential is only valid to one of six major possibilities(three modes x two environments)

    FF7 was not my first RPG. Nor even my first plot-driven JRPG. I find it mediocre. Get back to me when there's a Lunar remake that doesn't suck.

    There's different kinds of safe. It won't dump long-lived radioactive material all over the place when it goes, but you've still got a small sun contained in something the size of an ice chest.

    Probably similar to when they announced Duke Nukem Forever was getting released. Which is to say that at this point it's mostly disappointment that we can't make jokes about the delays anymore.

    Oh, I'm not actually holding it against them. I do wish they'd done something more believable, like Battleship's undefined space communications satellite, but...

    I'd noticed a lot less defense of bad movies lately, but assumed he just gained the good sense to stay out of the bad movie thread.

    Meh, it's just like the 360-XBox compatibility was. It's limited, they're going to add games that don't work right to the list because they don't test/want to pad the list, and it'll stop as soon as everyone stops shouting about back-compatibility because they realized they CAN sell you the same game again so get in the store and pay to download that game you already own a disk for. Sorry MS, but we've been down this road before. Which is funny since Iga made several times more than his standard game development funds on Kickstarter. But yeah, Kickstarter's being used as a preorder system. No two ways about it.

    If you lose power, you're in big trouble anyways. I can't imagine a microfusion reactor fault being anything but bad news, even in an atmosphere. Best case, you ran through all your hydrogen, which it's implied is REALLY hard to do, so you've probably been flying continuously for DAYS. After that, it seems like there's a lot of problems that make landing an intellectual exercise on account of the plane is now made entirely of rapidly-expanding plasma. But the reaction thrusters are always in place and (mostly) pushing directly perpendicular instead of at an odd angle. It would've critically damaged the VF-1's LCF. (Look-Cool Factor)

    Which raises the question: How fast does the barrier effect initialize? Could you leave the PPB under computer control in standby, and it could activate a barrier disk shortly before weapons-fire impacted the vehicle, then deactivate it again after the attack had dissipated? For that matter, how are the disks controlled on the canon barrier-equipped fighters? Are they automated, or do pilots just place them in places they'd really rather not get shot?

    Good news for comet fans: The white whale failed to kill Philae, and the world's first armed space probe just phoned home to hook us up with some pics. http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2015/06/14/philae_alive_and_well.html

    Heck yeah, Ninja Golf! The 7800's killer app, if ever there was one. Someone totally needs to port that to something modern.

    I'm still disappointed they didn't bríng the orange Gamecube over for the Metroid Prime bundles.

    It's hardly OUR fault that the twenty-first century is nothing but disappointment and heartbreak. How's a man supposed to enjoy life when it's 2015 and he still doesn't have a flying car?
  14. JB0
    Good! So glad they didn't get bought out by someone comically inept.

    And the pod race. Don't forget the pod race. Right. And James Cameron is Skynet's father, so an analysis of his recent career, relative to other famous directors, is totally on-topic.

    Pretty much. I've never seen Avatar, but will take it on faith that it's a terrible movie with consensus like that. Phantom Menace was still the more DISAPPOINTING film, though.
  17. JB0
    A lil bit, yeah. I kinda suspect they're planning it, but not saying anything until they're sure it's feasible. Edit: Having pulled the stats up now... there's a pretty big RAM gulf between the 3DS and Vita. Really, even between the New 3DS and the Vita. That's a bit of a leap to overcome, especially since they're hacking Unreal Engine 4 instead of making a new engine from the ground up. If it happens, I expect it to be New 3DS only.
  18. JB0
    Not by the Kickstarter terms. I'd be surprised to see it happen, but it isn't impossible(by my reckoning, much of the Vita port effort is also applicable to the 3DS).

    Also, Kickstarter backers get the ability to kill Igarashi in-game. True story.

    Hey, Inafune tried to kill Zero off a couple of times in the X series. Capcom wouldl't ever let it stick.
  21. JB0
    This is news to me, and I find it highly pleasing news.

    Personally, I think the show has two big problems. One is they're rushing it. The second arc has maintained a breakneck pace that sucks all the fun out of it as they try to get through plot points as fast as a(n almost) biweekly schedule allows. Also, they wrote (the best) three heroines out in three consecutive episodes, and then left them sitting in limbo forever. Like I want to watch a Sailor Moon episode that doesn't have Ami in it. The second is that budgetary. Toei COULD have said "This is Sailor Moon, we will spend the money to do it right because we are guaranteed to make it back with sales", but what they DID say is "This is Sailor Moon, we will do it as cheap as possible because we are guaranteed to sell it anyways", and it shows in every episode.

    They did the same thing with Salvation, too. It was kind of amusing watching how carefully they framed the shots to hide the cyborg guy's cyborgosity so they could do a big reveal later, when they already threw it all over every piece of advertising they had. And hell, T3 was TITLED "Rise of the Machines". ... Is it still a spoiler if you name your movie after the big "surprise" plot twist?
  24. JB0
    I'm still watching Sailor Moon Crystal, and I don't rightly know why. The second arc has been a trainwreck of rushed incompetence. ... Oh, right. I'm watching it for the engrish. "Queen Neo Queen Serenity" is a thing they actually said out loud.

    Avatar was the worst Smurfs adaptation ever.
