  1. Claiming new Trek is trying to be like/ripoff Dune is honestly a massive stretch. Especially given how much Picard season one stole from the first Mass Effect game.
  2. I desperately want to see Kwan gutted by an Elite at this point. This whole "I want to rebel and free Madrigal from the evil UNSC that are fighting the aliens that killed all my family even though I know the entire resistance is dead or supporting the new fascist government!" Is really getting on my nerves. Unfortunately with this writing crew the only one on Madrigal that is probably going to get glassed is Soren.
  3. For what it's worth I knew what you were driving at. Looks like a terrible photoshop of Tom Cruise overlayed onto the one of the P-51 Mustang.
  4. Funny the Firefox was made the subject of an april fools joke. I just realized a couple days ago it made a cameo in the Area 88/UN Squadron SNES game as the F-200 Efreet.🤣
  5. Yup! That's it! The toys are a lot cooler looking than the cartoon makes them out to be.
  6. So this thread has triggered a memory for me. Does anyone remember another toyline similar to M.A.S.K. from the 80s, but all the vehicles were clear and see through so you could see the transformation mechanics and missiles inside? I think the figures that came with them were also clear, but changed color when dipped in water. I think they were made by Kenner or Galoob.
  7. My brother had that one along with my neighbor. That's how I knew about the helmet variants as they each had the different version. The one I always wanted was the 57 Chevy with the lift kit and the pop up aplique armor plates that made it an adhoc tank. That and the bigazz semi truck!
  8. Did you know this version of Matt Tracker had two styles of masks? One like in the picture with the attached shoulder harness and the earlier one which was just the helmet. It was changed to make it less of a choking hazard.
  9. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2022-03-17/godzilla-franchise-actor-akira-takarada-passes-away-at-87/.183729 Akira Takarada who played main lead character Ogata in the original 1954 Godzilla film and was in at least another half dozen other Godzilla films as well as many more scifi Toho films has passed away on March 14th. Growing up Godzilla films were a big part of my childhood so this hits kind of hard. I consider myself blessed I got to meet him at a convention a few years back.
  10. So... When has a live action video game ever actually tried to be a faithful adaptation of the source? Honest I'm getting kind of sick the "whole we are doing our own thing" excuse. For once just give us a god damn straight up adapation from the game. Yeah it will be predictable fanservice, but so what? That's what fans want. Why do you think the early seasons of Game Of Thrones were so popular when they were the closest to the source material and the later seasons so reviled when Dumb & Dumber decided to put their own spin on things after running out of books to copy from?
  11. All that video is make me wonder if an anti submarine Osprey exists.
  12. If there's one NeoGeo future sports game I want to see an updated sequel to next it's Super Baseball 2020. So much potential there. New unique stadiums with different homerun zones, more varied robot types, an expanded full season, and new weapons to use. So much can be done with it!
  13. I'm visiting my brother for the holidays and I've spent a lot of time visitimg the movie theater while there and this has to be one of the worst things I have ever seen to the point I have nothing but utter contempt for it and I'm glad it's bombing worse that pearl harbor. Spiderman No Way Home and The King's Man as uneven as it was, was so much better than this trash.
  14. Currently reading Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway by Johnathon Parshall and Anthony Tully who are two of the people behind the combinedfleet website which is probably the best most extensive collection of data on the Japanese Navy in WWII that you can find in english. The book itself is fascinating as focuses on the Japanese side during the battle of Midway contain newer primary sources that up until recently hadn't been translated to english. It really drives home the foolhardy arrogance, utter contempt for their opponents, strict adherence to hierarchy/plans, and pointless infighting with the IJN and the IJA over war policies directly led to the defeat at Midway setting the course of the war for the next three years. Just a word of warning, don't go into this book expecting to hear a lot about code breaking, station hypo, or an American perspective of the battle out side of how the events directly impacted the Japanese like the Doolittle Raid being seen as an insult and an attempt on the life of the Showa Emperor himself and thus demanding a direct response and a complete change of war policy. There's a misconception with this book that it's supposed to supplant other works like Gordon Prange's Miracle At Midway as the premier source for the battle, but the fore word it states the opposite. Parshall & Tully state Shattered Sword is meant to support and compliment Miracle At Midway and should be read together as they represent literally two sides to the same coin.
  15. I was visiting my brother in Montana and went to see Ghostbusters Afterlife. The trailer for this was attached to it and it looked like a turd.
