How about a group kick in the nuts? Everyone likes those!

By all means, get the violin. We could use a bit of class in here.

Which is a heck of a lot more informative than "Babysit means you get paid," but STILL arguing semantics. Is it REALLY that hard to answer a question? Maybe even a "Yes, except (semantic bullshit about the definition of babysitting)," so you can pick apart word choice WHILE answering a question? As near as I can tell, you linked excite's translator, then supplied your translation of their translation. If not, I'm not sure why you bothered to paste Excite's translation.

Not a part of the definition, and not even implied in my region. They used what is commonly known as a synonym. And giving an automated translation script credit for intelligent and well-thought-out word selection is questionable at best. Now will you stop picking on my choice of words, and ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION?

My parents were rather good about things, and as a general rule, any toy I didn't break, lose, or actively choose to get rid of is still around here somewhere. EXCEPTION! I had a box full of Robotech toys. Not a large box, but a box anyways. Die-cast Spartan, various action figures, the infamous VF-1 for the action figures, some bioroid hover platforms, and my most recent acquisition... an Invid Shock Trooper with an arm that kept falling out of it's socket. Mom deemed the Shock Trooper broken and needed to be thrown out. I insisted that the arm was SUPPOSED to be removable, to simulate battle damage. Partially because the arms had ALWAYS been removable and that one had just grown much looser since I'd initially gotten it, partially because the shock trooper was a pimpin' piece of purple plastic and the Robotech toys weren't available anymore. We argued back and forth for a while, then she made me throw out THE ENTIRE BOX. I had to carry my beloved plastic box into the kitchen and dump the contents into the trashcan. All of it, gone in an instant. Those were my favorite toys at the time, too. Many years later I found Max and Zor figures that had escaped the purge by being lost somewhere. Max still had his helmet, and Zor had his gun... Well, someone's gun, anyways. They're all that remains of my once-treasured collection. No Rick, no generic zentradi, no destroid, nothing. Dammit, I liked that destroid. Mom insists that she never would've made me throw the whole box out, and I MUST have misunderstood her. I'm not gonna argue the point wtih her, but I think she just lost her temper. Beyond that one nasty scar, things were pretty good. Dad glued my Max joke machine's chest hinges back together a few times(this was before the purge). Ditto for Shockwave's left shoulder. Both eventually went in the trash because there wasn't a good surface left to glue. They bought Tracks multiple times because his hip sucked and his legs kept breaking off. I think there was some replacing of rubber bands in Robotech figures. Or gluing of waists. Either way...

In my mind, babysitting covers both paid and unpaid forms of supervision. So now that we have that technicality out of the way, have I, in fact, parsed it correctly? Did Vanessa enter into a long-term monogamous relationship with Loli and grow human-zentran hybrids within her uterus, which Warera monitored after they were extruded from her body? And which one was Loli, anyways?

Bring it on, EPIDERMIS! 402912[/snapback] I'll poke you in the homunculus! 403356[/snapback] Quit masticating around!

If by "a little light on the paint apps" you mean "completely devoid of paint", you do recall correctly. 403258[/snapback] Hmm, really? I thought they had painted faces and hands at least? I mean a light spackle of tan on the face and hands, nothing detailed. I must be mistaking them with maybe some of my G.U.T.S. figures that i had... hmm but those were bigger i think... GUTS! 403279[/snapback] You are mistaking them. I've still got mine somewhere, and they've got as much paint on them as the day they were unboxed. I might still have manuals even.

I'm having a bit of trouble parsing that. Is it saying Vanessa and Lori got married, and Warer babysat?

I can't speak for Phalanx, but I was joking, and thought it was blatantly obvious. Oddly, characters is a major gripe I have with Wing. They're all cookie-cutter stereotypes with no development whatsoever.

If by "a little light on the paint apps" you mean "completely devoid of paint", you do recall correctly.

I had a friend with the jet and helicotper, if I recall.

Well, F-15s also don't have giant freaking laser cannons attached to their sides. I'd say this is somewhat different than swapping parts on real world jets. 403236[/snapback] They also don't fold into giant robots bent on interstellar domination.

! I FORGOT! I wanted XPanders toys. They were these miltary-ish vehicles, and you tripped a button or switch that released a clip, and they folded out into a gun platform or seomthing. I got a jeep and a 3-wheeled motorbike thing, but the line died before I could get anything else.

*shudders at the thought of ANY Toonami being considered "old-school"* Let's see... The die-cast lion Voltron set. I never got past Yellow and Green. And they broke. Sky Lynx. Saw it on a shelf, thought it looked awesome. Didn't get it. Optimus Prime. I got PowerMaster Prime, and then the Gen2 reissue, but it wasn't the same. Mainly because I was a heck of a lot older, and a hell of a lot less forgiving of a toy with such limited articulation. Jetfire. I got one from a friend much later, but it looks like he lost a duel with Starscream. His armor's broken, his gun is gone, and there's some nasty gouges in the nose like a dog chewed on it. Pretty much anything from MASK. I wanted MASK toys, but I wanted Transformers more. The "SDF-1" toy. How could anyone NOT want it? An NES. I got one eventually. From my cousin after the PS and Saturn came out. And just to scrape the barrel a little... a BioDread Strike Fighter. Captain Power was one of the few shows where I really wanted the badguys. That's probably all the signifigant stuff.

It WAS a good line. But still no "wockawockawocka."

Start with Wing!!!11111

How so? It's a student parody film of video game adaptations these days. What's there to hate? 403126[/snapback] These days? Are you implying they EVER knew how to do it right(other than to not do it at all)?

Starscream says: "Back off. I need posable feet."

Oh there is a Macross game for nes? I don't think I have seen it. Hey quick semi-off topic, which emulators are good for master system and nes? I was pretty lost with them, once when I tried to figure it out. 403012[/snapback] The most accurate NES emulator is Nintendulator. But it's slow(side effect of accurate emulation, sadly) and lacking in features. NESTopia is the best overall right now, if I recall. Master System... I think Kega is the best for that. I haven't kept close tabs on it. The FamiCom Macross game is really one of my favorites in the series. Just random blowing up of stuff while Shao Pai Lon plays in the background. I assume you mean unzipped it. It should just drop in and replace your current one. Either way, there's documentaiton inside the zip that explains everything. If you weren't using MAME, but actually using MAME32, you probably aren't very familiar with command-line applications and need a frontend. I recommend EmuLoader. http://www.mameworld.net/emuloader/

Probably, actually. 402978[/snapback] Crap --- I'm not sure what version it is, but it IS an older one. I'd better see if there's a newer one. http://www.mame.net/ http://planetemu.net/ 402992[/snapback] Thank you, JB0! I ran the "rechercher" function on Planetemu, and found out that macross has some other stuff (choujikuu?) written in front of it. That was my problem! As for the new version of mame, I wish I could understand the site better. Do I download a binary archive? Source code? I'm kinda' lost. Thanks once again! 402997[/snapback] Binary. Source is the actual code. It's useless without a compiler, and only really useful with some programming knowledge.

Works here... Are you getting sound out of other MAME games? What version of MAME are you using?
