Where is the logic in that? VF-0 is nice, but as a Valk before Vf-1... 374900[/snapback] It's not logical, that's the point. Anachronistic vehicle design has always been a problem with science fiction prequels producted decades after the original. Some sci-fi franchises have attempted to explain this contradiction by stating the prequel era was more influenced by artisans and esthetic designers as opposed to eras that followed, dominated by praticality and economics (such as Star Wars, original trilogy vs. prequel era). Macross however has made no such attempt to explain the obvious design contradictions between eras (and doesn't need to do so in my opinion). As a result, the VF-0's visual appearance is anachronistic in the design chronology of the Macross universe, appearing far more areonautically advanced than the VF-1. 374908[/snapback] I would've taken Macross' excuse as "The originall was a low-bduget 80s TV show. Zero is a high-budget 00's OVA." Much like I used that as the "Why don't klingons in Kirk's era have have brow ridges" excuse. ... Then DS9 had to blow it to hell with "Trials and Tribble-ations."

Except the N64 was highly profitable. If Sony loses that much marketshare, they'll be posting massive losses. They may anyways, if the PS3 launch is like the PS2 one was. At launch, and for some time afterwards, the PS2 was sold at a loss, subsidized by Sony's other divisions. Sony's other divisions aren't that profitable lately. That's what people forget. Nintendo doesn't have near as much volume as the other companies, but at the end of the day they're posting the highest profits because their business model doesn't REQUIRE high volume to be profitable. Nintendo systems post a profit from day 1. There's no red ink flowing at launch. Nintendo also produces a signifigant amount of 1st-party software. That's a LOT more profitable (per unit) than the licensing fees Sony and MS are collecting from 3rd parties, and which form the bulk of their game division profits. Licensing fees for Nintendo are gravy, not meat.

Why? They aren't going to have enough stock shipping regardless of when they launch. It's by design.

That's just silly. The nanomachines eat away at Macross disks, causing the split-disk syndrome.

2 thoughts, really. 1. I don't see why the Valk needs to look like a liquid that resists flow. 2. Why are you asking in teh site fedback forum?

I don't seem to recall the scene where Kamjin burst out of Kakizaki's chest. Must've missed it somehow.

Not likely. MS is still working on stabilzing their home footing. They'd be insane to split their focus with a portable right now.

Arrr, matey!

More users, really. Everyone is sending the parts of the file they have. So it's possible to download a complete file from a torrent with no seed if everyone has diffrent parts of the file in question, and there's enough partials to make a whole file.

Actually, they don't own the rights to use Macross designs in ANY derivative works whatsoever. They can't them in new live-action OR animated productions. Hence why all the characters in The Sentinels were redesigned.

Gunstar + Lego = Awesome++. The first one is definitely the better Gunstar, though the second one makes the better Lego kit. The third one sucks. It looks nothing like a Gunstar at all. If I didn't know better, I'd think he was trying to do Commbattler VWEE!. And then I would be impressed.

You're a braver man than I.

Phantasm. Any episode that uses the title animation signifigantly tops the charts, by default.

A. Blak valkyries can't be evil. They're too cool. B. There's not a lot to compete with in the Milky Way. Most sentient life was exterminated during the war with the protodeviln and the sustained zentradi/supervision army combat afterwards. The zentradi continue to sterlize planets featuring civilization into the Macross 7 era(which is the most recent entry in the Macross timeline). What? NO! The Jeniuses are too badass to be assassinated! Now Hikaru and Misa... They're established as missing, and it'd bring closure to the Megaroad 1, albeit in a way sure to incite riots. But the anti-UN would be better told in the past era. An expansion on Macross Zero, or maybe even a pre-Zero story.

And 2036 is non-canon.

But did they have sexual relations with that woman?

I think having one at a time is bad enough. Besides the whole idea behind that system would be to procreate. I'm not super cool on the idea of a dozen kids knocking on my door two decades from now calling me daddy or all these ex-girlfriends trying to get child support off me because the "UN Mass Repopulation Program" turns out to be like every other UN Program. The flight pay just ain't that good. 373357[/snapback] You forrget, the modern UN and the Macross UN are diffrent beasts. The Macross one is an actual world government(interplanetary government post-colonization), as opposed to a loose alliance of national governments that don't really have to do anything the UN says.

Apparently you should.

Still lost in space, I'd assume.

My favorite movie summary ever was "Godzilla VS Mothra: Giant lizard Godzilla fights giant moth Mothra."

They're kind of stuck. If someone has 10 games they bought at 50$ a piece when they were new, they have 500$ in software that's unusable without a new deck. Emulation isn't an option, and there's no compatible hardware. I don't see 10 games as an unreasonable level for a casual gamer. For someone that considers it a hobby, it's quite easy to have in excess of 2 grand locked up in one system's games, even with a bit of bargin-bin diving. At that point you can sell the games for a miniscule fraction of what you originally paid, keep them on the off chance a new system falls into your lap, or cough up another 150 for a new deck. For the casual gamer, the PS2 is likely the only system they have, and they've lost access to their entire game library. For the hobbyist gamer, sheer quantity of releases means the PS2 will likely make up the majority of their current-gen collection. 372853[/snapback] Ok , assuming the casual gamer has 10 games,, that they brought and played on their PS2. The System then breaks down. If the owner buys another PS2 for replacement it’s obvious that the owner like his 10 Ps2 games enough to spend some more money on a new PS2 in order to replay them. Why would you buy another PS2 to replay 10 or 20 games that you think sucks? But why would you HAVE games you think suck lying around? I make a point of getting rid of the stuff I don't like. I could assemble a list of 20 GREAT games for almost any system. And quite bluntly, the casual gamer likely DOES have 10 games that suck, though he'll debate the point. There's a disturbingly high number of casual gamers that think a game is good or bad based on how lavish an ad budget it has. Their opinion of the game is based on commercials and box pictures, and no actual game play will change that. A large percentage of these gamers have PS2s(because Sony has had the most lavish ad campaigns). WAY too many people are operating on the level of "Hey, I can make the shiny pictures on the screen move! This is awesome!" when evaluating games. ... Of course, it's the same market that's making retarded TV shows and movies successfuly, so it's not much of a surprise.

Sony had their own stuff. They promised real-time graphics equivalent to FF7's FMV in 1st-gen software. In fact, they had a demontration of it running at E3, allegedly on real PS2 hardare(as things turned out, it ... wasn't.). We're not there NOW. Regardless of who said what quote, Sony lies. There's actual examples on the PS1, PS2, and even the PS3.
