  1. BGC2040 ran for 26 episodes, that's two 13 episode seasons. Its full run IIRC. EDIT: the original BGC got cut down early, and then the same with its sequel Crash.
  2. Getting ready to watch Crest of the Stars series for the first time.
  3. The changes in the markings are because IIRC the Navy axed the original VF-84 Jolly Rogers in some crappy force re-alignment plan. Another squadron VF-103 the "Sluggers" took up the name instead of it going out of service. From what I understand they will give the name up should VF-84 get reactivated.
  4. You try being knocked up only to have the father bolt on you. Kinda hard to be plucky and spunky then.
  5. She actually shot a scene of her working out in the nude for this movie. If you can't wait go watch Two Days In The Valley. Just try to ignore the creepy hitman guys that's doing "it" with her.
  6. Is it bad that I now want a Black Widow film featuring Scarlet's version and the Marvel Max Yelena version as the villian? Maybe with a guest apperence by Cobie's Maria Hill? Maybe picking up from her interrogation scene with the russians?... please? PLEASE?!?
  7. Hehehe http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-ways-iron-man-objectively-better-than-batman/
  8. Hey! We agree on something!
  9. Anbody got any advice for sprue cutters for getting the parts out? The old technique I used to use was take an exacto blade and press down hard till it cut through the plastic.
  10. Mostly because the charge didn't last long and obviously did some damage to the suits circuitry. It also takes time to "call down the thunder" time which they really didn't have.
  11. Finished reading Mission of Honor a few weeks ago, pretty good read even if all hell has now broken loose. I just picked up the Gundam novels today, and plan on starting it tonight. Looking very forward to it being a very different take on the one year war even if I did find out some spoilers far in advance. I honestly thought I would never get my hands on them.
  12. Finished watching Tears to Tiara, Glass Maiden(crystal blaze), and Geo Armor Kishin Corps. I can recommend all three with a high recommendation to Kishin Corps. Very Raiders of the Lost Ark with mecha feel. Started watching Night Raid, but I am a little uneasy and apprehensive considering what I know about the time frame in real life. I really hope this doesn't glorify the Kwantung army, and what they did to the Chinese. Apart from that it kinda reminds me of a Japanese X-men.
  13. Physically? Closer to 30 Mentally? Closer to 21 Inner child? You bet! At least he hasn't been killed like yours has
  14. Okay first of all concerning your second spoiler(amazing you know how to use that feature considering one of your previous posts gives away a huge spoiler. My guess is you did it out of spite from being shouted down on opinion of this film) She keeps glancing up the entire time she is talking to Cap and nods to him when she is ready. I also don't get what you mean by wasted stories, and unexplored characters. Its obvious its only the begining of the story for the Avengers, and we have already had 5 movies that have explored who these characters are and what makes them tick. If you expected any thing different after all that you are either ignorant or insane. Granted in war not everyone survives, but there are always exceptions(the USS Massachusetts of WWII survived the entire war saw heavy action and did not lose a single man. May as well call it the USS Avengers Assemble in this context) and the "good guys" in this film as a whole did not come away unscathed. Finally about the civilians, Cap goes out of his way to save them because that's who he is. He's not the god damned Punisher or Lobo for crying out loud! He gives a damn if people live or die, so does Tony Stark for that matter, otherwise he would never have bothered to put the armor on.
  15. just got back from watching Avengers and can honestly say its easily on par with the first Iron Man film. Very entertaining with great humor and very well done action scenes. The plot is pretty good too, but I can see how if someone who skipped say Thor, or Captain America might not catch on right away with what's going on. Still I highly recommend it. And for those of you who want dark and edgy(ooooo) hold your peace and go see the next Batman Dark Knight movie so you can watch Batman suck at his job, get his friends/thousands of innocents killed, brood about how much his life sucks, get his back broken, and get upstaged by catwoman.
  16. Realistic outcome? What the hell did you expect to happen when a group of earth's most powerful, self sure, competent heroes take on a whiny emob***h with daddy and sibling issues? I would be shocked and have trouble believing crybaby Loki did anything but get his bloody arse whooped no matter what back up he had. Not every superhero needs to be gritty or tell a "darker" story as long as its compelling and makes sense. Look at what happened in the 90s when thanks to Frank Miller and his like, the comic companies thought every superhero need to be darker and more violent. Eventually characters became crude shells of who they originally where or so twisted they had to be rebooted or killed of (green lantern fiasco). Darker isn't always better.
  17. I remember when I visited Battleship Cove a couple years I saw a documentary about the building of the ship, and how most of the original crew were the ones who built the ship. They all accepted commisions/enlistment because they knew the ship better than anybody else, and would eventually train their replacements.
  18. Oops let me clear that up, it was an assorted case, there were 2 of each of the Defender and E-wing. The rest were all different. I need to think long and hard about wether I want to part with them or not.
  19. I still got them both MIB in the case they came in. When I worked in Toys 'R' Us the store manager was going to dump them in a bargain bin I picked them up for $5.00 each about $60 for the whole case. EDIT: for the record I am not the douche on Ebay selling them for $250+ a pop.
  20. Firefly Power Rangers Lost Galaxy Impostor film G-Saviour film(also reused uniforms from The Last Starfighter) The Planet of the Apes remake Dinner Party 3: ****tales (porn film) I'm also pretty sure every "sci-fi channel original film" since SST came out has used them at some point.
  21. Who would have thought the RAG aqua GM woukd see a release before the Sniper II custom!
  22. I stopped by the comic book store and picked up the RGM-79, RGM-79N, RGM-86R GM III, and the RGC-83 GM Cannon II. They're holding the RGM-79C, RMS-179 GM II, and RGM-79G Command for me. I have to wait till later in the week to see if they get the Quel, and Cold district ones in with their next shipment. I've also been looking online at conversion parts. What can anyone tell me about these B-club parts? Are they any good? Will I have to do extensive work to use them(cutting parts away, glueing), or do they replace a kits standard parts? I've really had my eyes on sniper II parts, and the RGC-80 parts as part of my attempt at making the white dingo team. Even though its not an RGM, or part of the GM bloodline, I do plan on picking up the Nemo, Mechaninac. The original Zeta line of it was one of the first gundam kits I built, and the only one I owned that required glue.
  23. Started to watch more Tears to Tiara, and its gotten better. Right now it has an almost Suikoden video game series feel to it. Good guys leave their home, recruit members specialized in things along the way, and create a headquarters at a castle.
  24. Started watching Allison & Lillia so far I'm engrossed with it. Its set in a kinda of pre WWII 1930s alternate universe, and in a way it has a Porco Rosso kinda vibe. If this keeps up I'll highly recommend it, it has the feeling of a real classic.
  25. Look at it like this: its not a blueprint for the navies newest missile cruiser, but an advertisment for a sports utility vehicle. How often have we seen them with callouts like "adjustable sun roof", "six air bags", "V8 engine with manual transmission", "folding seats enlarge already spacious cargo area", and "satillite AM/FM radio with cd play and MP3/IPOD dock".
