soulDistortion Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 It doesn't mean anything. That's the standard gibberish many programs use as a text placeholder for layouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Payne Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 (edited) It doesn't mean anything.That's the standard gibberish many programs use as a text placeholder for layouts. Actually, it does mean something. That's a Latin phrase from one of the old classics, and it's been used as a placeholder by printers for centuries. Then again, it could also be lines from the Necronomicon, and that would certainly explain the recent developments concerning HG and the DYRL Superposeables Edited March 17, 2004 by Pat Payne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewilen Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 This page has the dope on Lorem ipsum: http://www.lipsum.com/ I haven't checked to make sure the author isn't making stuff up, but I believe what he has to say. (I studied Latin; tried on a couple occasions to translate the "lorem" text but never got very far. Never occurred to me that it was based on something else.)

Opus Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 The really wierd part is that on the main page you can't click on Macross but if you go to Robotech and click on the Alpha then you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah... the only really weird thing is that their web developers are so crap-ass that they let their "in progress" pages with markup text, etc out on their main site. I'd get fired if I did something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Leader Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I noticed the Macross button on the front page of Toynami's site last night. The "latin" is probably just some filler the guy working on the site put there just to get an idea of what the page is to look like when finished. The scary thing is that there is a button on the Macross page suggesting that Toynami will be doing Macross MPC's. Also, why in the heck is the Myria MPC shown on this page when that was a Macross Saga item??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's not as though a Millia/Myria VF-1J would look much different if you called it Robotech or Macross... :ducks and hides: Seriously, maybe they're going to release some of the MPC's in Macross boxes (a la the Macross TV Superposeables)... before making DYRL versions. Who knows at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know about all that placeholder junk. Most people don't... it's really an advertising thing. The funniest thing is that I've been in meeting with really huge corporate companies, showing them different pitches and layout using the placeholders... and you get all these guys in suits going, "what does this say? The final product won't look like that? What does it SAY?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComicKaze Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain...but because it is Macross and therefore painful to see on Toynami's website. Now how do I translate that back into latin? sed Macross igitur deleo spectare Toyami I give up I've forgotten all my declensions. DAMN YOU TOYNAMI!!! DAMN YOU!!!

soze Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 (edited) Lorum ipsum ......... It's the standard filler that many web developers and graphics artists use as text filler in their layout designs to see what the layout would look like with text. All the graphics designers at my old job used that filler when they were designing page layouts and mockups. At least that's what I always saw when I received layouts from them before we incorporated them into our code.
