Picture quality on the MLB games has improved since the first 2 days.

It seemed very CoD (especially with the tact knife), but maybe that's just because of where my experience lies.

Yeah, there is a clear difference between old school WoW designs and the BC-LK era work.

Um, wow. Just wow. Talk about tasteless.

I've played ES4, and it looks pretty dated. Actually I thought it looked pretty bad when it came out. Now compare that to the original Fable. Fable still looks really good.

Good, solid podcast. I really enjoyed it. As I stated already, I could have really have done without that first two minutes.

The more unrealistic designs are, the better they age. Realism simply doesn't age well.

Not possible in this situation, unfortunately. However, I have no problem using the laptop to watch the games. It's actually part of the reason why I got it, LOL.

Laptop and PS3 both using wifi.

I checked out the MLB.tv app for the PS3 last night. The video quality is not as good as when streamed over the computer and played on my TV, and is often blocky and breaks up during moments of fast movement. I use HDMI for both connections on the same TV.

On your recommendation I'll try to give it a full listen, and just skip past the beginning.

It's not the first 5 seconds, it's the first few minutes. I assumed from that wonderful opening that the rest of the podcast would follow suit. First impressions and whatnot (and past experience with these podcasts). I am 33, not 13. Fart and dick jokes don't make me laugh anymore. The Gunbuster podcast was quite good, and the FLCL was pretty decent. CDX can and has done some really fun, really solid podcasts. And as an adult listener, the juvenile humor that pops up on some of them is a bit of a turn off for me. I'm not ripping them personally, I don't have any sort of agenda. Just want to give them a heads up and my two cents. Good or bad, I try to leave feedback when I listen. I don't imagine they'd post forum threads otherwise.

If they had the rights they would have released it already.

I stopped listening after the "how do you write the squishy noise made during sex" conversation.

Which has pretty much kept me from showing it to anyone else over the years.

I hope this one is on the larger side. I wouldn't mind paying more for something with a bit more meat on it.

This will probably get me yelled at, but some of the poison I've see spewed in this thread over the past several months really makes me question the purpose of this thread. And then this BS when a man has just died? All because of a cartoon? Some of you need to grow the hell up or go someplace else.

BTW, your FLCL podcast was a definite improvement over your Eva one.

Obviously, I did not agree with the man's methods or opinions, but he helped bring anime to a generation of fans. Happy trails, Carl.

Why?

Where I lived it was on in the afternoon when I got home from school, as well. I'm alot different than most of us whose first exposure to Macross was through Robotech. I came out of the series loving MOSPEADA and not really caring about the rest. It wasn't until I saw DYRL around '90 or '91 that I became a Macross fan.

It's not that they weren't appealing; they simply were not seen by kids. And I can guarantee you that not one person I know (outside of these forums) has ever even heard of Starblazers, let alone seen it. You might not *think* the lack of toy support was an issue, but the reality was it was a huge issue. Robotech lacked toy (and thus commercial) support, and in many markets ended up with poor time slots (if shown at all). Again, this has been covered countless times over the past 20 years. Whatever you think of Robotech, Macross, Southern Cross, or MOSPEADA, the fact is that they were not very popular in the U.S. It is my opinion that this is because they were not widely seen, not because any of those series sucked. Robotech is not the Transformers. It's not GI Joe. It's not the Thundercats. Hell, it's not even as popular as the Smurfs. It has a niche market, nothing more, nothing less. To expect more out of it is unrealistic.

It was the lack of toys. That was the biggest factor, and it's been covered to death over the past few decades as to why it was not more successful. It was virtually unheard of for a cartoon to launch in the 80's without toy support. There is a reason for that.
