  1. But Mountain Dew looks like urine(at least in the bottle). Coke has no urine-colored products. And makes Cherry Coke. 391261[/snapback] *ahem* Mello Yello 391264[/snapback] Coke has no urine-colored products in my area, then.
  2. Millia. She's hot, she's a gamer, she has green hair. Ami from Sailor Moon. Smart, shy, into computers... Aww heck... she's me with boobs.

  4. Compendium says Zenmtradi are about 5 times the average human. That's more along the lines of 25-30 feet than 35-40. The 2 zentradi characters with heights listed are Millia and Britai. She's about 28, and he's 44 and a half. He's also notably bigger than the men under his command. VF-1's height in battroid mode is 12.68 meters, which works out to 41.6 feet. One of Robotech's major statistical deviations is that the average zentradi is 40-ish. This comes from assuming Britai is of average height. This makes Max's costuming stunt a lot more workable in Robotech, though the clothes would still hang quite wrong on the battroid's body. I hope you meant depending on the zentradi's height, as all VF-1s are built to the exact same specification. Legs and torso too.But it's a common theme for mech anime, and one of the more common suspensions of reality that come with the genre. A couple of joysticks and foot pedals is enough to create any motion you may need, and to do it intuitively as well. Roboetch's novelizations excuse this with a neural interface(much like MacPlus's YF21 does), but this doesn't fit the animation(and in the Macross universe Plus makes it chronologically impossible).
  5. I've been seeing them around here, too. MS seems to have finally gotten their production up. I haven't really kept score. Partially because I've got a heap of used games. 'S just not worth tracking which ones were mint originally. I prefer top-loaders just because the mechanism is simpler. All other things being equal, a toploader will last longer than a tray or slot mech. ... Of course, the tracking assembly(Sony's machines) and hub motors(Dreamcast) have proven the weak links in recent years, so it doesn't much matter. Pity they can't/won't spend the cash for a high-quality drive mech. At least MS is using standard drives, so it should easy to fix when the optical drive dies(if my assumptions about the drive using standard firmware are correct). Hard drive'll take a bit more work. Yes, I expect an uncommon amount of longevity.
  6. You could actually do a lot to it. And since we're worried about drive noise, you could put the panels directly on the drive. Might cause thermal issues, though.

    Blunt is my natural state. I get right to the point and skip the paragraph of fluff surrounding the important sentence. You incorrectly assume it's meant to offend. I did. Waste of words. "Wrong thread" is so much shorter. I'm not offended in the least.
  8. They have... err, ARE... bioweapons!
  9. And he never should've passed for one. Really... wouldn't you guys notice if you walked by someone with his collar pulled up real high, his hat pulled down low, and a big green glass plate where his face should be?
  10. Are you joking? No one's ever really sure. Sidenote: I HAVE gotten injured while picking stuff off of a carpeted floor. Was at school, and somehow a staple had gotten caught in teh carpet, point up.
  11. DYRL was scare-mongering propaganda to get people to support more military spending. Max was a high-ranking military officer and knew a more accurate version of things than the masses. Tada! Instant justification!
  12. "Dinner table". 390948[/snapback] "Unsanitary"?
  13. Only way it'd work is if Max jumped a "high-ranking" zentradi, like Britai. They're about Valk size. It'd still be a pretty bad fit, and probably wouldn't work.
  14. I second the request for wood carpet pics. Not bored, just easily amused. See the Snakes on a Plane thread for the inspiration.
  15. So yeah, which do you like better? I say carpet. It's soft and warm. And you can vacuum it.
  16. That's not a bad idea...

    Ps2 Macross Ending

    A. Okay I thought I would ask since the people here are actually playing the game I am looking for so I though that wouldnt hurt to ask. No they aren't. Thread's about the PS2 Macross game, not the PS1 games. Not only that, they're talking about ripping FMV sequences from legally purchased copies of the game. No discussion of downloading, modchips, burning, or emulating(in fact, the PS2 has no valid emus yet). Because that would encourage this sort of thing, and it would be better to encourage you to find a proper outlet instead of letting the thing lay around as you bump it with "Does anyone know?" and then later with "Anyone at all?" and finally with "So no one knows how to get PS2 ROMS?". Imagine if you're having an intelligent discussion about comparative theology, and someone jumps in with their favorite "a nun, a priest, and a rabbi" joke. It's totally unrelated and disruptive to the existing conversation. Same concept applies here. I was blunt, not rude. There's a large diffrence. "Where can get ROMS for VFX-1 and VFX-2 for PS1 (or PS2)." As near as I can tell, you are using "ROMS" to mean "downloads of commercial game software." Which means "pirated software." As I said, ROM refers to a specific type of microchip. It doesn't have anything to do with CD games, regardless of whether said games are the original disks, burned copies, or downloads. It is only tangentally related to emulation of cartridge games. The common usage of ROM to describe downloaded cart games comes from a massive misunderstanding of the accurate term "ROM image" by a massive influx of complete idiots that overran the emulation community several years ago.
  18. I Agree there should be a storyling that tells of the SA rise to power now that the Zentreadi are no longer a threat to them. one could say they could have been responsible for the dissapearances of a few Megaroad colony ships including the Megaroad 1. 390856[/snapback] Why aren't the zentradi a threat to the supervision army?
  19. It says gore and PROFANITY man, profanity. 390560[/snapback] I bet you those snakes are all ful frontal nudity, though.
  20. It needs a pronunciation key, so I can speak it too.

    A. Wrong thread. Totally. B. No such thing as PS ROMs. "ROM" doesn't mean "pirated software." It actually refers to a specific type of microchip. </pet_peeve>
  22. Sound insulation won't mess it up unless you do something stupid like put it over the air vents. Conduction from the air to the case is responsible for very little of the system's cooling. Could attach an angled duct to the vent to baffle noise coming out that way without impeding air flow.

    What The? Ohhh Wow

    They have emulators too. Though there's only one Saturn emu even worth looking at(SSF), and it requires a fairly strong machine. Both. But your choice of platform greatly limits you, as most emus are Windows-only. You'll have better luck with the XBox than Mac, if I'm not mistaken. Teh intarweb. I usually use planetemu.net. By downloading the disk images and a PS1 emu. Dunno if there's a PS1 XBox emu. If there is, yes.
  24. Or if you value your hearing.
  25. If worse comes to worst, it's possible to replace the drive. MS uses a mostly standard DVD-ROM drive. Catches are A. it's SATA, and it's darn near impossible to find SATA optical drives. B. MS uses a proprietary connector. You might can get around A with an IDE->SATA adapter. 2's gonna require you grab a soldering iron and look for a pinout. Your trials remind me of my Dreamcast, though. First thought upon booting it was "Damn, it's broken." Then people confirmed it's SUPPOSED to sound like they filled the drive with rocks.
