  1. 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.
  2. I'm down with that, actually. Battleship was WAY better than it had any right to be.
  3. Hey, it's entirely possible! .... It would explain why the lead tapebot was LAVENDER, after all. NO toy faithfulness there.
  4. Ah, but what if that scene was an animation error?
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. It's not a garden satellite, though. By all appearances, the surface is still dead.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Kojima too? I got Inafune advertizing it in my e-mail. Also Nigoro, but less name recognition there.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Trufax: My sense of humor is difficult to over-ride. I was very much not serious.
  18. Or me, truth be told. I do try to keep it under control these days.
  19. 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.
  20. Starscream et al was kinda terrible, even by standards of the line.
