    Yeah the leotard, leather jacket, and thigh highs version from the first season box set is the Figma I want.

    The thing I want to know is if this is actually Mcquarrie's work or is the design something Joe Johnston created?

    Gameplay wise the game is fun as hell. Story wise it lacks the charm and humor of the first two games. Way too dark and cynical with too much over the top political satire. Yes I know there was political satire in 2, but at least it was funny. I liked New Vegas a lot more.

    Oh boy where do I begin on this horror story from yesterday? The good news is I'm not hurt, and the car is still mostly intact aside from some alignment issues and some fenders need replacing. The bad news is I didn't finish and the crap we went through just to run was almost intolerable. I got to my brothers garage about 2pm to put the finishing touches on the paint scheme of the Minion-Mobile(number MIN-1), we were supposed to pick up a UHaul car hauler around 4pm to get the car to the track but their computer system was down and they couldn't process us. We decided to say the heck with it and drive the car up to the track ourselves. Its still technically street legal as long as the lights and blinkers are still working which we removed once we got to the track. So there we are in the Minion-Mobile heading up the highway the whole way people are taking pictures, laughing, or just acting like WTF? We ended up getting stuck in bumper to bumper traffic where we passed a funeral hurst. My brother and I just looked at each other and said "That is not good omen". It was pushing 5:45pm when my brother decided to take an end around to avoid the traffic and get to the track.d The racing started at 6:06 we didn't get there untill well after 6:30. We missed the drivers meetings , the practices, and the qualifiers so we would start dead last for our feature race. We got there in time for the New England Truck Series driver meet and greet session and the track owner had us roll out onto the track for the kids raffle give aways. Normally its usually just a bike but in honor of our first racing we brought a 3 pack of the Despicable Me movies(DM1+2+Minion shorts) to give away to the kids. People seemed to really love taking pictures with the car, more so than some of the trucks. Once that was over we headed to the pits and began stripping the lights out of the car and making some last minute safety modifications. Apparently leaving the airbag in at the speeds we would be going would do more harm than good possibly snapping my neck if it went off so we took it out. We also wedged the back seat cussion between the door frame and the driver's seat to add more padding in case I got t-boned. Finally we also had to swap out the right front tire because it was worn down to the steel. My brother knew about since the day before, but never bothered to do anything about it untill just before lineup he found out our feature was 50 laps and figured the tire would blow. The new tire threw the handling off so I was screwed from the start pretty much. As I lined up with the other cars the officials almost dqed me before I got on the track because I didn't have the sticker in the windshield proving I payed the entry fee and registerd. When we got to the pit shack earlier I guess we got caught up talking about the paint scheme and the hassle to get the car there they never handed us our sticker. This being our first time we didn't even know we needed it. At the very last second Bobby Webber the track owner cleared us to go and I was off When the green flag dropped I had no chance. I didn't get a good acceleration and I had to fight the car hard going into the turns. It didn't help I had a regular seat belt instead of a five point harness(I wasn't lying about this being the lowest and cheapest level of racing) so gravity was trying to push my body out of the seat. By the 12th lap I was two laps down when the alignment and steering went. Going into the turn it was like steering a pirate ship given how I was having to spin the wheel. The 17th lap I rubbed sides with a car going into the 3rd turn, I lost the rear end, over compensated, came back down in the 4th turn, fish hooked the other guy, he skidded out, over compensated, and we nailed each other fender to fender on the front stretch. The impact knocked the car out of gear and the dash lit up like a christmas tree. I hit the gas, but the car wouldn't go(apparently I was in neutral), I thought I broke something so I coasted to the pits, and my night was done. There really is a kind of family atmosphere and camraderie at the track. Once I came to a stop I had several different drivers and crew some I didn't know run over to see if I was okay and wasn't hurt. Once we figured out the car was still drivable they wanted me to head back out, but there was only 4 laps left and it wasn't worth it. After that they helped bend the fender back out we got the lights and signals back in and I drove the damn thing home! The divisions founder wants me to come back August 2nd, and says I didn't do bad for a rookie. He also gave me props for the paint scheme, the funny thing is the guy I started next to had a Tow-Mater scheme last year, so they are used to this kind of thing. EDIT: When I started writing this I was still pissed at the BS I went through just to get the car running, and the fact I didn't finish. But you know what? This was awesome, scary, crazy, stupid, and amazing all at the same time and I can't wait to get back out there! Now that I've had the experience I can be better prepared next time.

    banana?

    I meant to say this earlier, but thanks for the words of support for my first race. Its less than 24 hours to go and I have that nervous uneasy feeling in my gut. I hope I can get some sleep before heading to the track. Star Speedway usually has a camera guy that records all the races, so you should be able to see how I did come tuesday or wednesday. Look for the Dodge Neon painted like a minion from Despicable Me, with a stuffed minion hanging out the window.

    Anybody else think The Last of Us PS4 looks like the Godfather movie poster?

    actually he hates sex in his choices of entertainment.

    I would have prefered the scult without the pants.

    So the Japanese commentators words for the "big one" nascar wreck is GOJIRA CRASSSSSSSHHHHHAAAAAA?
  13. renegadeleader1
    Hmm this summary of the situation looks about right to me.
  14. renegadeleader1
    A stroke might explain things as far as duel is concerned.
  15. renegadeleader1
    Not sure what you are smoking, but I don't see any resemblance between what I'm assuming is a new type of destroyer/cruiser than either of the two fighters you posted. If anything looks more like the Oberth Destroyer only in its most basic outboard nacell configuration.

    Hey guys I just wanted to let you know I'm making my first official stock car racing appearance next Saturday. Yeah its the lowest possible division, but its something.
  17. renegadeleader1
    And yet its still going to happen, even though like Seto says no one really gains anything from the cycle of stupidity.

    Yes.... Outside legal obligations I.E. WB did it. Especially since everyone here(including myself) feels BW had no idea what was going on with Project Valkyrie.
  20. renegadeleader1
    More like WB shut the project down because of their live action movie rights deal, and HG brought Creavision on board to make it up to them. If HG really was the ones responsible there's no way Creavision would touch them with a ten foot pole for fear of being screwed over again.Besides how could Creavision "sell out" to HG if HG has no money and are as desperate as you all claim... Oh right butthurt! Massive amounts of butthurt with you guys concerning HG.

    They own the original SDF:M series and they trademarked Macross among other things. Let me put it this way, There is no way Pepsi with its established Mountain Dew brand is going to role over just because you want to release your brand and call it Mountain Dew PLUS, Frontier, II, or 7. You will be laughed out of court.

    So I set aside the Metal Gear Solid HD collection for a bit after beating the original MSX Metal Gear(damn that game is hard) to play Sniper Elite III Afrika. Its a very fun stealth sniper game with realistic bullet effects. On my second mission I accomplished probly my most disturbing achievement next to Blitz: The League II's Testi-kill. Its called Charlie's Challenge: Score a testicle shot from over 100 meters away. keep in mind this is the game where when you score a sniper kill it goes into slo-mo X-ray cam mode showing every gruesome detail.

    YOU. WILL. LOSE. You will lose bad. Your lawyer friend is an idiot for not pointing out the flaws inherent in your whole argument that would lead to a Judge throwing it before it gets anywhere near a trial. Then again maybe he just hears the cha-ching of a retainer fee in the hopes you will hire him.

    Coffin Princess Chaika got picked up for release by Sentai Filmworks. All is good.

    Alright guys I need a recommendation on a xbox360 controller with a good directional pad. I'm trying to play the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection and the analog stick doesn't feel right, and the crap sensitivity dpad is pissing me off big time.
