  1. Why not just name the dog black? Thats what the word means in english as opposed to its latin origin.
  2. Some of the C/D/E variants had a single internal machine gun or cannon in each wing. The one in the trailer definately has the tell tale bulge holding the ammo for the 20mm mg ff cannon. Guns in the wings was stopped in the F series onward. At 22 seconds in the trailer 4 BF-109s are seen each with a different paint scheme.
  3. Assault suit Valken AKA Cybernator I used to love using the Drache and dive bombing him to death in seconds from completely offscreen.
  4. While its not a Iowa class, the South Dakota class(the class that immediatly preceeded the Iowa) USS Massachusetts is located in the state it was named after. Its docked at Fall River in Battleship cove alongside the USS USS Joseph P. Kennedy Jr destroyer, USS Lionfish sub, two PT boats, and the Hindensee a soviet built missile corvette. If you ever get a chance to check it out I highly recommend it. Most of the lower decks(including the engine room) are open to explore, and its one heck of a museum ship. Theres actually quite a few museum ships in massachusetts the USS Salem heavy cruiser, USS Cassin Young estroyer, and old Ironsides herself the USS Constitution to name a few. Now about the New Jersey not having its lower decks open to the public, its sister ship the Wisconsin wwas the same way when I visited it in Norfolk. I was told it was because the ship was still in the navy reserve, and could be recalled at any moment. The New Jersey might be the same way.
  5. Too bad the toy guys had to fix the problem of where the legs connect that Kawamori somehow overlooked 30 years ago
  6. WWII units I want to see movies about 1.Flying Tigers 2.VMF-214 "Black Sheep"(possible sequel to the flying tigers following boyington) 3.761st tank battalion(as long as the BET network or spike lee has nothing to do with it.)
  7. The mecha is from the old sega genesis game Assault Suits Leynos otherwise known in the U.S. as Target Earth. The original game had a semi-prequel/spinoff that came out for the SNES called Assault Suits Valken otherwise known in the U.S. as Cybernator. Later on the programing crew that made the game "zombies ate my neighbors" decided to make a new game, and being fans of both blaster master and cybernator and seeing how neither was getting a sequel anytime soon, they decided to combine ideas from the two and the game Metal Warriors was created. Eventually sequels to both Leynos and Valken were made, although Valken II is a strategy Rpg unlike the originals side scrolling platformer. Metal Warriors gameplay believe it or not U.S. born gajin were behind this game from Lucasarts published by Konami. Its a great game that was released late in the SNES lifespan, yet it is also insanely difficult with no cheat codes, save files and limited continues. This is one of the few games I know I will never beat without cheating.
  8. you aren't the only one!
  9. I don't think that starscream's vehicle form was changed to avoid a lawsuit, more likely the warped looking F-16 was a nescesity to get the robot mode to look like it does in the show. Speaking of the F-16 and its variants/derivitives this gives me the chance to show everyone the plane with my favorite designation! The F-CK-1 Ching Kuo! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIDC_F-CK-1_Ching-kuo Built by the Republic of China(Taiwan) This plane looks like what happens when you try to cobble a working plane together from spare parts of an F-16, F-18, F-111, and a Mig 29.
  10. Dbz is exactly what came to mind when I started getting into the heart of it and they started talking ranks and power levels. Heck a lot of it reminds me of other things. Its like this show is the ultimate amalgam. I actually stopped watching this for a little while because I got Appleseed: Ex Machina. Its a fun little romp. I really like the nice little twist they gave the head of the Posiedon Corporation.
  11. I cannot overlook the fact that we are supposed to have sympathy for this broad obviously drunk off her ass, gets behind the wheel, kills the guys kid and pregnant wife, then comes back to apoligize, can't even come clean, lies like a coward, and they fall in love.... You know compared to that B.S. suddenly another planet popping up in near orbit doesn't seem all that far fetched. All I know is if the drunk driver that killed my family showed up at my house I'd put a couple of shells from my double barreled shotgun between their eyes.
  12. To qoute Samuel L. Jackson... "That is some ****** up repugnant ****!"
  13. So I'm reading the bad reviews for Captain America on RT and I relized something the critics that said it sucked either... 1.never liked comics to begin with 2.are tired of comic book movie overall 3.see this as nothing but a set up for next years avengers movie and show nothing but contempt 4.feel america is the great satan and go off on a political tirade Most of them hardly touch apon the actual movie itself so its no surprise to me that critics say 72% and audiences rate it higher at 87% currently.
  14. The HUD reminds me of the old Apple IIe game. Personally I think it might do better as a 360 live arcade game.
  15. I finished the first disc of Claymore. Its okay, but I wish it wasn't as predictable as it is. I already seem to have a sense of where this series is going. Maybe its me and I've just seen too much anime these days. EDIT: I do have one question. What is it about a Claymore's body that would make a bunch of horny rapist bandits say "no thanks"? Well except for the one wounded bandit that attempted it on the revenge/humiliation angle before he got whupped on.
  16. I finished HOTD and liked it alot and hope a new season comes out. When they introduced that sleazy teacher I thought he was going to ruin the show, but I was actually surprised with how he was handled. Now on to Claymore. I heard a lot of things comparing it Berserk as a kinda kindred spirit to it. All I want to know is if I liked Berserk will I like this?
  17. She's the one that almost killed the porn industry Oh yeah miss "I'm underage but I'll fake my ID, make a bunch of movies, become a huge star, and when I'm finally legal I'll make one film I only own the rights then come out and admit I was underage. That way I can make a killing and use the infamy to launch a mainstream career!"... So how did that work out?
  18. I started watching Highschool of the dead, and I couldn't help but notice the school nurse reminds me of the main character from Grenadier. Grenadeir isn't a bad show once you get over the fact that Rushuna has huge boobs and uses them as part of her revolver reloading technique. The final battle is actually one of the most impressive anime gunfights ever. EDIT: Oh yeah the male lead isn't an whimpy whiner boy either.
  19. I just got my copy for the 360 and like mikeszekely mine was also the last copy. So far I like it. 1.The graphics are nicely overhauled, love the cell shading 2.Its good to see Kou Uraki back in a game 3.I noticed they borrowed the battle gauge from fed vs zeon so you can die and respawn till the bar is out. 4.The tutorial missions are crap. The little blurb says something along the line of "so and so is a powerful move/enemy to use/kill learn how to use/kill it here. BUT IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY TELL YOU HOW TO DO IT. Not to mention the first one throws you up against the Big Zam. Only my prior DWG experience saved me. Newbies are going to be like WTF?!?! 5.The variety of gundam shows is amazing I think the only thing I haven't seen so far is anything from "for the barrel" 6.The enemy aces respawning is kinda annoying so far.
  20. If the book version of starship troopers was used it would only be 20 minutes, and consist of "deploy from drop pods, hey we found this girl, picked up signals of other colonists, roast chest burster with built in flamer, fight off xenomorphs hand to hand using suits strength, fire grenade launchers, lose maybe one or two troopers to acid fall back, mini nuke site, call retrieval ship, THE END. EDIT: as for a star wars/aiens crossover, the only thing preventing it is lucas's creative control. Both are Fox products. That still hasn't prevented little easter eggs from popping up in the comics/books.(a xeno drinking at a bar in the rogue squadron phantom ship arc, the narcissus escape pod parked in mos eisley in the crossection book, one of the things inside the sarlaac in tag and binks) None of the appearances are canon though. Just like the 2001 pod being in watto junkyard.
  21. 1.John Cena may claim Boston, but Boston does not claim him. 2.The Boston Bruins as a 3rd seed coming out of a supposedly weak eastern conference, went through 2 game 7 series, riding their aging goalie, WERE AN UNDERDOG against The Vancouver Canucks the regular season points champion, number 1 seed from the west, with multiple 40 goal scorers, and supposedly the best goalie in the league.
  22. I wish the Arizona looked a little more like its real life counterpart. At least the Yamato despite being all gussied up still looked like the real life yamato not some generic ship. I like the Petr Veliki, its obviously supposed to be a mass produced of the movie version Arcadia. I love the tributes to the spitfire, mustang, and the viking. The Ibuki looks like a deathtrap. Very few anti aircraft guns, and the rear facing turrent is essentially useless with its firing angles blocked.
  23. That reminds me they just released the only other black guy besides Lando from the original trilogy as part of the Endor pilots pack TRU exclusive. The "ITS GONNA BLOW!" guy. EDIT: one of the two packs also includes that poor bastard tie pilot that got stuck behind the Falcon as it made its escape from the death star.
  24. The thing is Godannar was tongue in cheek intentionally funny, yet had a good plot along with the fan service. Magnos on the otherhand with enemies like "Xerxes Tireiron Dada" and "Octopud IV" well you can probly guess... apparently google vid had some episodes. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6596418551121405086#
