  1. I've been playing a game I picked up on cheap during the black Friday sales, Sniper Elite V2. Its a pretty fun game with some pretty realistic ballistic physics to it. It also has a xray camera feature similar to mortal kombat that slows time down and shows in gruesome detail the damage your bullet inflicts as it travels through the human body. The worst I've seen so far was when I shot a german lying prone. The bullet entered the top of his head, through his stomach, and out his... um taint? If there's anything I don't like its the close combat/stealth parts you undertake to get in position. It would be fine if the secondary weapons you have could actually kill someone without emptying the entire clip(thompson), or were even realistically accurate(missing a bodyshot with the welrod at less than two feet). There's also booby traps like mines and trip wires you can set that I haven't been able to effectively use yet. More often than not you are moving around too much to set up proper ambushes, and seldom do you get attacked from behind from areas you already cleared. I still give it props for its unique trick shots like riccohets, two for one bullet kills, and shooting grenades. I also liked the free DLC I got for it... Assassinate der Furher.
  2. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home? You can't get much stupider than having a russian wander around mid 80s San Fran yelling at people about where to find something "nuclear". Then there's the phaser left behind that no one seems to care about, Scotty giving away a formula for future materials shrugging it off with hand wavium, and the stupid hope that whales as a species now that there are three(remember one was pregnant) of them in the future.
  3. Buy one of those MIT robot competition kits and build one yourself for about $200.00. Funny enough this thing remind me of an 80s old robot toy I had. It transformed on its own and was tethered to a wired controller. It had the same features as the video robot except its feet rolled, and had no camera.
  4. Sounds tweaks are very common when a movie gets transfered to disc, and his voice was one of the biggest issues with the film so I'm inclined to say yes.
  5. 1.No they don't, and the feeling is more than mutual yet they still rely on each other for business and trade. 2.They all follow the same design due to that shape offering the most reduced radar cross section.
  6. It makes me sad to know the only zoids I have left are two wind up alligators, a wind up raptor, and a griffon missing parts. My poor Iron Kong fell off a shelf and shattered. All of them were from the techno-zoid US releases.
  7. And yet according to the schematics the Coyote Tango has one pilot, and the Crimson Typhoon three.
  8. Like the gunpod equipped F-4 Phantom's of Vietnam, once a target is at close range its all up to the pilot.
  9. http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIG-MOE-0229&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dkanu+swimsuit%24pagemax%3D100%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1 Granted its not the most "flashy" of her figures, but I like it.
  10. Operator 1- pilot officer controls where the robot goes Operator 2- tactical/radar officer controls targeting and weapons fire Operator 3- (if needed) communications/navigations/commander tells everyone what the robot has to do and where to go Multi operators tends to work very well for attack helicopters, some fighter/combat planes, and tanks.
  11. ... say what now?
  12. This had nothing to with Hollywood and Western society. The blame falls squarely on Sunrise and Bandai of Japan deciding to hire a bunch of Canadians who had never done anything outside of cheesy scifi tv shows like Mutant X rather than approach a big name studio. They got what they paid for.
  13. I own the standard colors version of that Kanu Unchou figure, along with several other figures of hers. My fav is one of her in a racing swimsuit.
  14. They were a modest success, considered trashy and rather controversial due to content at the time. It really wasn't untill JFK mentioned in an interview that he was a fan that their sales took off. This paved the way for Dr. No to be filmed.
  15. To be fare I've my opposite opinion just about as long as you have had yours. I'm sorry, but even as a stand alone espionage film its bad. The plot of the main bad guy sterilizing the world food supply so he can blackmail the government into letting him retire as nobility is dumb. The main actor is uncharasmatic, wooden, and rather sleazy. The female lead is the only one taking the film seriously. Telly savalas? As european nobility? God no! The subplot of the Mob father essentially selling off his daughter because she is a psychob**** is dumb. The main romance is ugly and forced. All the action scenes use speed up film making it look like stop motion. The fight in the cable car shaft is horrible with the main actor and stuntman visibly mouth to each other what type of punch they are going to throw. The doctors office scene ends stupidly where he goes through the effort of making it look like he wasn't there then takes a playboy mag with him pausing several times to view the centerfold. Is this a parody now? There's is no way I can take the ending seriously with the main baddie while doing 80mph on a bobsled gets his neck snapped in strong tree branches and is left hanging there only to pull off a drive by a short time later.
  16. Its not anime(cue ZZ gundam intro), but its from a video game series: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harukanaru_Toki_no_Naka_de I learned this by using google-fu on the name on the front of the box. Its a character from the game. Payment is one naked anime figure please...
  17. Did some black Friday shopping and picked up several things. Transformers Super God Master Force, Cowboy Bebop Movie, Horizon In The Middle Of Nowhere, and Strike Witches season 2. The first episode of Horizon was odd, filled with fanservice, and down right crazy yet it was still hilarious and entertaining. I like how the main character is something of an unrepentant pervert bastard. Starting watching Masterforce too as I write this. It looks promising and you can really tell its starting to deviate away into something wholly japanese. While Headmasters kept the western gijoe character style that's been replaced with typical anime flare and design. I also find the plot interesting as it brings it closer to what the original diaclone toys were. Robots piloted by humans. Oh damn! Not five minutes in the first episode, the decepticons just blew up a cruise ship killing hundreds to draw out an autobot pretender. I take it the body count is gonna be high in this?
  18. Man those EW lists are complete crap. Lotta Lenya's Rosa Kleb as one of the best Bond Girls??? Really??? No way Carrie Lowell is among the worst. How the hell does A View To A Kill outrank Dr. No? Anybody else getting tired of people ranking On Her Majesty's Secret Service so high on lists? Its just not that good in acting, special effects, fight scenes, or plot.
  19. I'm still confused wether I like Overman King Gainer or not.... @_@
