  1. Ugh. The head on top of the spaceship/hoversled. That's one of the most obnoxious things you can do with a Transformer, is just leave the head sticking out. I know, existing design, faithful to the source. That doesn't make it any less egregious, just VINTAGELY egregious.
  2. And here I thought it was just me.
  3. Honestly, this is the first I've seen of it, but it makes me tempted to keep an eye open for the grpahic novel collection(assuming it gets one), because that shizzle looks hilarizzle.
  4. I'm sure there was a good medical reason. Probably sanitation purposes. Comatose people still sweat and stuff. Clothes'll get dirty and need changing anyways. I'm sure it had absolutely nothing to do with any voyeuristic tendencies of the hospital staff whatsoever. Nope. Nothin' at all.
  5. So far, it's been exactly what I expected. The fault here lies with the original book. Pretty much the entirety of the Sword Art Online series after the first book(which consists of the very beginning and very end of the title game) can be summed up in three words: Needs More Klein.
  6. The S-word! You gonna get banned! I really liked that film, in all seriousness. It's not the greatest film of all time, but it's got a flair to it. And for Hollywood to make the killer robot develop a conscience and then try to make amends for what it's done? Hell, that bumps it up two stars by default.
  7. That's an odd way to spell hunter you have there.
  8. I just wanted to say I thought Dynamite 7 was one of the best parts of Macross 7, and a genuinely fun OVA. The love trinagle remains as resolved as it ever was. Gamlin loves Mylene, Mylene loves Basara, Basara loves music, and the whole dang bridge crew loves Max... err, except Exedol. None of these loves are requited.
  9. This is what they call damning with faint praise.
  10. That came up in the very first book. Not so much a plot point as a side scene. The lead scientist proposed making slower, more awkward dinosaurs to make them more "dinosaur-like", and Hammond complained that they WERE real dinosaurs and they couldn't BE more dinosaur-like so people would just have to DEAL. Except, you know, they were engineered to have a lysine deficiency, their DNA was a patchwork of authentic dino DNA and modern-day DNA from various sources, and none of them were raised in their original environment at all, so they were nothing like REAL real dinosaurs. Hammond didn't like that line of argument at all. He was still ranting about it when the compies ate him. Book Hammond was a bit of a jerk, and got what he deserved.
  11. And that's awesome, but grinding is horrible beyond all comprehension if you focus on it. By the time you have the gun, you will hate it's very existence.
  12. I strongly recommend against focusing on that goal. Just play as you like, and it'll unlock naturally at some point. My general rule for "kill x, get y" quests.
  13. You people have no appreciation for the true joys in life.
  14. It's a "parody" because it took the standard cliches and dragged them to comedy through exaggeration or just haphazard implementation. Which is to say it was terribly written, but that kind of terrible that becomes funny. This discussion is all part of L-Elf's plan.
  15. Welp, I've rerolled JaneBob, the mighty huntress. And I'm still annoyed that Destiny doesn't let me ACTUALLY name my character. Not that JaneBob is a GOOD character name, but gosh darn it, it's MY character name.
  16. Aww, man. I LOVED Valvrave. Not for any of the intended reasons, mind you. It's a classic example of "so bad it's good." The thing came off as a masterful parody, and the fact that I'm pretty sure I was supposed to be taking it seriously just made it funnier. Haru x L-Elf OTP! Bitter x sweet 4 lyfe! As far as Unlimited Blade Works goes... I have very mixed feelings about it. As a Fate/ fanwank, it's wonderful to see all those badass scenes animated. And I admit I loved it for that. But as a general viewing product... it's kind of a storytelling trainwreck. They threw in all the cool scenes and skipped over anything that didn't look cool. It's a very incomplete tale, and simply assumes you've already read the game so it doesn't need to explain how we're getting from A to B to C. This makes me unable to really put a score on it, as I have two very different opinions of it. And Fate/Zero? Any scene that Rider/Zero wasn't in was a complete waste of my time. And that's why I dropped it before the halfway point.
  17. It's all canon. This is canon.
  18. I digitally preordered online for a digital copy wrapped in a shiny box fulla cool things. Because I like shiny boxes more than I dislike waiting. It's currently somewhere between Missouri and here in a digitally-powered truck. I should have it at some point wednesday.
  19. I'm down with that, actually. Battleship was WAY better than it had any right to be.
  20. Hey, it's entirely possible! .... It would explain why the lead tapebot was LAVENDER, after all. NO toy faithfulness there.
  21. Ah, but what if that scene was an animation error?
  22. That's Frenzy... I mean Rumble... I mean one of Soundwave's cassettes rockin' out to Blaster's phat beats. Space Brick actually looks neat. I admit this. But not a hundred and fifty dollars of neat.
