    That was the original idea including robotic horses and pagoda battleships, all of it was scrapped in favor of what we evetually got. The only thing that survived the change was the hover sleds.

    The first few examples of the short gunned StuG III rolled off the assembly line without roofs. In pre war testing they found this was vulnerable to small arms fire while on a forward facing slope. By 1938 they had all been modified to have roofs. Actually quite a few were common like the U.S. M-10 wolverine tank destroyer over 6,700 were built. Having no roof helps with target spotting, faster reloading, casing clearing, and adds more speed due to less weight. WWII tank destroyer doctrine consisted of speed and firepower above all else. The M18 hellcat(also open topped) could be clocked at up to 60mph(97kmh). Personally I kinda like the idea behind the spartas. Its obvious that the mecha designer tried to merge 3 different types of mechanized warfare into the one mecha. The speed of a jeep, the firpower of self propelled artillery, and the all around ability of a main battle tank.

    your friend is an idiot.

    Variants of the German StuG III and many other assault guns/tank destroyers had no roof crew protection. example: British Archer tank destroyer

    this happened right in front of me last night at my local track.... EDIT: This was a memorial race with big money up for grabs in the Outlaw late model series. 32 cars started the qualifiers, 28 made the feature race, 17 were able to patch their cars together to restart the race, and in the end only 9 made it to the checkered.

    This is exactly why those changes were made. Staff of kings was made as a tie in to the last Indiana Jones film and was meant to be a world wide release. Emperor's Tomb was made with little fan fare and the north american market in mind so they didn't have to be as "culturally sensitive".

    a good first season, or just a single good season out of several does not make a good series, especially if the rest of it is a giant steaming pile of monkey poo.

    so we got a 1940's adventurer fighting nazi's and seeking hidden treasure directed by Speilberg shot in a style faithful to the comics and produced by Jackson. I really can't see how this would fail. Consider me very interested in seeing this!

    suddenly I'm reminded of the end of the movie hotshots...

    Say what you want but Hercules: The Legendary Journeys was pretty entertaining. I also recomend The adventures of Brisco County Jr.

    You guys think Acapolco H.E.A.T. was bad? Do I really need to bring up Baywatch Nights?

    I was thinking more along the lines of a starfleet outdated rear line ship made into a dumping ground crewed by the fed's rejects. An anti-TNG if you will.

    I have Dive Alert and find it rather difficult. Its pretty much a sub simulator where you spend most of your time watching a sonar waiting for and opponent to get into range. There are two versions of the game. A blue version for boys that have women as your computer navigators, and a pink version for girls with cute mascot animals as navigators. EDIT: gameplay video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx4_lCYa1C0&feature=related

    Personally I'd love to see something along the lines of kelly's heroes/captain tylor(just way toned down) set in the TNG era featuring an old run down Miranda class ship crewed by the federations screw ups, odd balls, and former prisoners thats all but forgotten by the fleet and left to their own devices. Think of the character possibilites The captain of the ship could be a scape goat that took the blame for a disaster someone else caused. The first officer is an alcholholic survivor of wolf 359 Chief of security is a gun nut andorran that deals weapons on the side and is prone to asking orders to set to kill Chief medical officer is a former drug addict Chief of engineering a workaholic obsessed with suping up the ship like a personal hotrod and constantly tinkering with it illegaling installing a cloak Lounge officer an Orion girl with more tactical sense than the rest of the ship but would rather be the den mother of the ship

    I got a question about the daicon video. In the daicon III and IV videos the girl is chased by a mecha that the wikipedia claims is a zaku from mobile suit gundam, but is actually Studio Nue's starship trooper power armor. My question is how long has that power armor design been around? If the daicon video's were made in 1981 and 1983, and the starship trooper OVA didn't roll out untill 1988 how did it end up in the daicon video? Whats the history behind it? Was the power armor originally intended for another series or was the troopers OVA that long in production?
  16. renegadeleader1
    I dunno about you guys but I think ELO's "hold on tight to your dreams" would go great with the Daicon video EDIT: I just read the wikipedia article and that IS ELO lol go figure.

    -1 to the B-29 for having inaccurate propellers.

    I was finally able get ahold of this movieand loved it! I also liked how one of my favorite "actresses" Justine Joli had a cameo in it, and had a rather long deleted scene dedicated to her!

    hey guys I just got back from the boston portsmouth airshow. While the static displays were kinda a letdown with only a hand full of the usual A-10s, C-5s, F-16s, etc. I did get a chance to see a plane I never thought I'd see in person, a MIG-17 "fresco". I also got to see a B-52H thats been in service since 1960 making possibly one of the oldest of the 52s still flying BD-60-0003. I have pics I'll post later on after I edit/crop them of the MIG with its L39 squad mates, a F4U corsair,the A-10s nose art, and the thunderbirds.
  23. renegadeleader1
    The F-4E's were used in Iron Eagle II
  24. renegadeleader1
    I agree completely.

    I finally was able to get out see this and I loved it! I just wanted to make a couple of observations. EDIT: I laughed my butt off at the red skull's reference to raider's of the lost ark at the begining of the movie.
