Screw the NPCS! or... Screw the NPCs the choice is yours! Honestly from a RP standpoint this game is probably going to be weird... cause you'll already be rping with the NPCs.

I am reading that blog now... they're being kind of evasive hmm I hope races arn't unique... like All of this race is evil, all of this race is good... I hope they meant classes there. And even then I hope there is some direct crossover... (again so you could fall to the darkside)

This worries me slightly... that each class will have a cookie cutter story that will hamper roleplaying unless ignored. I mean true that's no different then CoH with each character getting the chance to run the same story arcs (and the Epic Archetypes having their own special story arcs)... but it could make gameplay a tad repetitive if done wrong for people who want to do multiple characters. I guess it depends on the implementation. Edit... typed pvp when I meant to type rolepaying... was thinking of my last post

Do I sense a Realm vs Realm style PVP on the horizon? I just hope you can switch sides, if you want.

like that, it won't be bogged down by existing story from Tales of the Jedi or KOTOR... I don't want to hear Revan's name more then a couple times personally.

That's good one of the things that keeps bringing me back to City of Heroes is the story and characters... and the story to the first KOTOR game rocked.

Cool, of course it would be funny if all this Star Wars hype was a smokescreen and it turned out to be Grim Fandango or Monkey Ilsand the MMO or something like that. lol... but that's not going to happen

Has this Mickey Mouse Convoy thing been discussed yet? http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product...amp;mode=retail I might just get it because I collect different versions of Optimus more then any other transformer.

I never saw Robotech on TV before this year... or if I did it was when I was only a year or two old so I don't really remember it. I got into it when we rented the Macross saga from the local video store they didn't have the rest of Robotech so I thought that the 36 episodes were the complete series... Eventually we found the Robotech comics and other items... it wasn't until Jr. High that I ended up getting exposed to Macross in it's pure form... (the internet was around then but still not super big and I hadn't encountered it yet) I found the perfect collection tapes with original english and Japanese for the different shows (by this time I found the other sagas at othe rental places), Macross Plus aired on TV, and I rented II as well... then I went to anime club started copying tapes of Macross 7, and ordering more with limited exposure to the internet SASE method (no high speed downloads yet...) My first exposure to bit comet, was also with Macross... from Macross Zero, I remember telling my friends how awesome fast it was, not knowing about peer ratio and when they tried it on files that didn't have seeds they laughed at me.

Again, all I said was that they say Fairy Nine and not 9th Fairy... and I pointed out another case where the exact same wording was used (Mistress Nine in Sailor Moon) where it wasn't the 9th anything. Oh and finally got around to watching ep 24 (I was busy with school) So, I'm wondering do you still think it was bad story telling fo her to be an actual Nome and Sheryl's grand-daughter? cause I don't think it was that bad.

well at least there are targets there... unlike in Canada I want wave 2 exclusive vehicles damnit! Though finally the vehicles and a decent selection of carded (but canadian carded ewww) figures showed up at my local walmart. Didn't see any flightpods, but everything else was there.

Am I the only one who wants the yellow, Battle Crops version Alley Viper?

Supergirl Masters of the Universe Robotech: the Movie: The Untold Story Flight of the Navigator The Wizard The Boy Who Could Fly

banned... dead... whatever, not here anymore. But you lived up to Arnie's most famous line and came back. Anyway... I remember being told John De Lancey (or however you spell it) was dead... but he wasn't.

dialed it back meaning that the cute rag-doll faces are gone? I'm hoping there will be at least one cute girl who has a rag doll face.

So what you're saying is Iron Man should create a new suit of armor that showcases his physique more... I understand.

Well this looks really awesome, can't wait. But is it me or do the space battles have an 80's feel to them?

No... there were teaser posters for the 90s Fantastic Four movie, which the producers stated they had no intention of releasing (at least that's what I heard).

There was the "Marvel Manga Verse" which was done by Vietnamese(I think) American Ben Dunn of Antarctic Press and Ninja High School fame... and there true manga of Spider-man and X-men in the 90s and again recently... but this would be the first time there was an actual Anime produced for the Japanese market that I'm aware of. Yes there was an 80s Toku (linked above) of Spider-man but that's different.

I don't know about that, though usually it's the case that with outsource animation it does feel a bit different because they have to meet the demands of the western company. However I'd say that was noticibly anime-esc, it actually reminded me of Armitage III.

For the Japanese market I'd say Wolverine is a must, because like Batman he's very much a Ronin, a Samurai without a a master who is looking to find honor and fulfillment, but I'd saddle him along with either Shadowcat or Jubilee to give a moe aspect to appeal to the Otaku. (preferably Shadowcat, but that's just my preference). Spider-man, I'd say could work because you have this kid who's trying to not be as the Japanese would say "the nail that stands out", but can't help but be different... I think a lot of Japanese especially the Otaku crowd can understand the metaphor there. Iron Man... well his main enemy is Chinese and there's always Japanese concern over Chinese criminal activities within there borders... so it'd be interesting to see if there were any reactions on that. Honestly, while I think they'd have to keep Wolverine a Gaijin, to make him work, Iron Man would probably have to be Japanese, I could see him at the head of an influential Keiritsu, or old style Zaibatsu that works in robotics and feel's dishonored because his technology is being used for evil. It'd be funny to see him as a Japanese buisnesman though, getting sloshed at Karaoke parlors! hmmm... what about a fourth? Captain America despite having fans worldwide can't be really specialized directly for the Japanese market for obvious reasons. I think an anime of the fantastic four would be interesting, but I don't have any commentary on why it would work... it'd just be cool to see a real anime take on Doom.

umm... sorry to come back to this, but I was sorting through my comic collection, and I noticed a lot of Spy Troops and VvV adds and not just in the GI Joe title itself but in various marvel comics... so there was ads, and they were in the right place promoting the DVD release which would in turn promote the toys. I'm pretty sure there were even some tv spots for the DVDs when they came out, (yeah they weren't great films... but still). Honestly, I think they were using the right channels to get to the collectors.

Well he definitely changes and becomes a little less anti-hero-esc at times. But the interesting thing is after the first book, there will be whole story arcs that don't involve him... there's lots of snapshots of everything that's going on. I've only read the first two graphic novels, but I like it.

Nah, I meant a figure roughly 20" or so to tower over my 3 3/4" GI Joes. But yeah discussion for another thread.

Eh to me I prefer to leave the pilots anyway... I think it would be cooler if it was the Autobots and Decpticons in the Transfromers Galaxy (hey they had an intergalactic battle already via Attatrix). But yeah, the only one that interests me too is the Death Star.
