Machines and their efforts are only as good as the people behind them. It's all about the people...

Mike...You of all people I would expect to have a custom rig. Proprietary is just so unfair... Anyway, I enjoy the whine of my system fans also, as I know that my 6800 GT equipped computer can handle just about anything. As for your buzz, I had that on my last PC, and smacking it usually took care of the sound...

Thanks for the good shots. I must say again though, that asides from the excellent poseability there really isn't much of a gain from the original "chunky" Voltron...

That's cool, but I'm not that into Jack Bauer...

If they can jam the missiles, why can't they affect the Vipers also? The level of technology between the Vipers and their missile systems can't be very different. I believe the appropriate reason for the Colonial's minimal use of missiles is their lack of capacity to produce them. Making cannon rounds is one thing, making a missile is another...

Well, they sell fans that specialize in being quiet. Obviously they'll include ball bearings and whatnot, but they're worth the price if noise is an issue. You could try to clean out the fan innards, as dust penetrates these things easily, but it would be easier just to buy another one... Do you Newegg?

God damn, would I love a Super O, or even an 'Elint-I don't even like that thing...

363222[/snapback] Roger that, but I was already DQ'ed on the count of my bad hearing. Well, I could've gotten in, but I wouldn't have seen combat and as far as I'm concerned, without combat duty what's the point...

Oops...Are you saying that you're supposed to be trying to get those back-garage upgrades? I've been completely ignoring them in the quest for pink slips. Naturally, I've only won about 4 cars, the latest being the Mercedes (I'm only about halfway through story mode). Damn it...

Hmm....I'm still thinking about the part where you mentioned a bunch of girls, sitting on a porch on a hot summer day...

That sounds.....interesting...

Wait, so that rough-draft SDF-3 actually existed? I also remember seeing that style of SDF-3 on the cover of my "End of the Circle" novel... -I really liked that story, by the way...

I've just gotten accustomed to hearing the high pitched whine in my computer. That's what I get for building it myself, I suppose. But who cares, I'm partially deaf anyway... Hey Hikuro. In NFS what car did you use for the majority of the game? What car did you use towards the end, specifically with Razor? I'm thinking about taking that game on again...

Wow-great stuff guys...

Shoot, well I'll take this, over that, anyday...

Come to think of it, I don't recall the Galactica ever using any missiles either, at least, the ammunition emanating from the Galactica doesn't look like missiles. Are missiles just out of style, or is it an FX budget restraint? I'm not a military tactician, but I'd be using long range missiles before autocannons or flak guns...

Well, I'm pretty sure that the Navy would accept someone who had laser-optic surgery performed. I know that when I tried to enlist in the U.S. Army, my vision almost became an issue, but I was told that laser-surgery was starting to become accepted by the military...

Can't argue with that...

That's not the SDF-3 that I remember. Wasn't there a different rendering of that ship in, say, the Sentinels RPG book? It was basically a "re-interpretation" of the SDF-1, with an organic looking texture and was non-transformable...

That's too bad. Watching that series premiere, that first Galactica Viper squad may have been spared had they launched missiles instead charging in Braveheart style...

Yeah they were. The only TF I ever received was Thundercracker and he cost $24.99 back in '84 or so. Considering that better TF's cost the same today, I wonder how any common folk were able to buy anything at all back in the 80's...

Well, you know how people complain about PC's being too loud? I left my '360 powered on and had gone somewhere for the evening. When I returned, as soon as I opened the door and stepped in, I heard the tell-tale hum/whine of a computer and thought, "damn, I left my computer on," when in fact it was my '360. They're not AS loud as a non-silenced computer (I yell 'Clear for takeoff!!!' when I turn on mine), but it's definitely louder than any other system that I've ever had, certainly louder than a PS2...

I was watching the series premiere when one of my valkyries fell off of a shelf and onto my head. I then started to wonder why Vipers don't have missile systems?

Tracking our purchasing habits is commonplace-most people don't really know that those "club savings" are just designed to see what and how we're buying...

God...
