    You could also get a GameBoy Advance or compatible platform and play FireRed/LeafGreen, which were heavily updated versions of the original duo, if you just wanna get your bulbasaur on. The DS had HeartGold and SoulSilver as remakes of, yes, Gold and Silver.

    Ultra Magnus was disassembled. Prime suffered component damage. It's the difference between popping a balljoint out and crushing the chestplate. You can repair one easily enough, but the other's usually a lost cause if you can't find a donor part. JEEZ, PEOPLE. I have to admit, Space Brick is growing on me. I think seeing the shots of the various different submodes did it. I respect the engineering to build all of that in. Especially once you get down to the little Brainmaster dude. Now why doesn't Magnus get Albino Prime mode, other than he's already been released that way without the armor a dozen times? And more importantly... when does Blaster get an MP? Soundwave is too mainstream.

    It's not a garden satellite, though. By all appearances, the surface is still dead.

    If I recall, they actually kept Volition intact, with most of the employees. Which is notably strange in these deals. Occasionally someone recognizes they have a team of creative talent and not monkeys banging on typewriters. So no, it's not like Maxis or Atari.

    It would make more sense if they said the Traveller made THE MOON into a garden world, though. But the Moon is still the Moon in Destiny. Magnificent desolation and all that. Gotta preserve it for future generations, I guess.

    Which still makes me laugh every time I see it. I know Venus is cliche, but that's because it's a cliche that WORKS.

    Well, yes. But we needed that storage space for things. 6x the pixels + lossless audio, specifically. Just like it was a bad idea to cram eight hours of video onto a DVD(though it could be done), it's a bad idea to cram eight hours of HD video onto a BluRay disk.

    Kojima too? I got Inafune advertizing it in my e-mail. Also Nigoro, but less name recognition there.

    It's the only way to play.

    It's highly unlikely, to be charitable. You have to explain why everything is still in orbit(as any planet-cracking impact would've greatly disrupted that orbit), and why it didn't recoalesce. Especially with Ceres being a third of the mass of the asteroid belt. If there was ever enough mass to FORM a planet, there should have been enough mass there to REform a planet. It's almost certain that Jupiter's influence prevented Ceres from absorbing the rest of the asteroid belt, and still does today.

    Huh. I may buy a 3DS XL once the Circle Pad Pro-integrated version hits stateside. ... Even if it does look like a REALLY crappy analog nub.

    I'm with DuelGundam here. Some of my favorite movies have had terrible trailers. And while this looks to be abusing Dracula pretty hard... eh, so has everything else. I find it hard to be particularly heartbroken by THIS SPECIFIC abuse of Bram Stoker's creation. ... Even if he DID just punch an army with his giant batfist. That crap's hilarious.

    Trufax: My sense of humor is difficult to over-ride. I was very much not serious.

    Or me, truth be told. I do try to keep it under control these days.

    One is a science-fiction epic, masterpiece of dramatic writing, and one of the greatest products of the modern era. The other is Mass Effect.

    Starscream et al was kinda terrible, even by standards of the line.
  17. JB0
    It's certainly a heck of a brand.

    I like Armageddon. It's stupid fun.

    People keep talking about Resident Evil's tank controls, but I still don't see it. I mean, you have to have two sticks for tank controls!

    A1 and Keith's... flirting... is making me think of doorknobs for some reason.

    So earlier today, the New Horizons space probe hit it's last major milestone before the Pluto flyby next year, when it crossed Neptune's orbit. No pics, Neptune's in the wrong place. NH is actually closer to Pluto than Neptune right now. In a helluva coincidence, this ALSO happened to be the 25th anniversary of Voyager 2's Neptune flyby. Keep on truckin', NH! Don't let the "not a planet" haters get you down!

    How does her top stay on? I can't quite figure out- Oh.

    Much like the locked door in every JRPG ever. "Wait, I can throw fireballs, summon lightning out of a clear sky, and call the fury of the gods themselves down onto the heads of my enemies, but a WOODEN DOOR is insurmountable? My sword strikes with the literal force of an atomic blast! I could raze this entire ramshackle cottage to the motherloving BEDROCK with a single finger! But I can't get through the DOOR?!" Yes, I've spent far too much time thinking about this before.

    But a bad movie kills faster because 2x the factors! ... Someone should set up a movie theater with treadmills instead of chairs, so we can get some exercise while we watch our movies. Ah, but that's the thing. I DON'T use genre as a primary filter. I've seen Alien more than once, and it's one of my favorite movies.

    The normal, sane-looking romanizations are, well, normal and sane romanizations of the japanese. The crazy ones with too many consonants are the official romanizations, which were intentionally done crazy because they're alien names and SHOULDN'T look normal.
