  1. > Not seeing Razor in the complete collection details. What is it? The story of the Pegasus and it's commander. It was one of the best things to come out of BSG.
  2. > Totally. I'm with ya there. It's the way they offed him that's just silly. I loved it. Personally I was far more surprised that they still included Bond's wife as part of the continuity...
  3. Too new for me, I'm turing into more a cranky old git by the minute.
  4. I've always wanted to drive that triple PPC tank in a game, my wanting it is probably the death knell for the idea though.
  5. "A view to a Kill", enough said... As much as I found CR a sleepy bore (or the opening sequence way too over the top, even for a Bond film) I'd with CR a million times before I'd watch View again.
  6. > She may be 15 or 16, but her concert looks something more fitting for a 12-yo Disney/Nickelodeon singer. That's it, that is what bugs me about her character - she reminds me of all those disney high school singing shows. Luckily I have boys so they turn those off, but my niece had to watch them when her family came out for a visit... So, to a certain extent, I have to give Ranka some slack - she isn't that bad compared to Disney HS stuff.
  7. There are a number of cases in real life where an ace pilot refused to upgrade planes - since he knew the capabilities of the plane he was flying, and how to push them to the limit. (plenty that did upgrade too). But if I had to choose, Regult hit the nail on the head.
  8. No - I jumped ship when the clan junk started showing up. It was an obvious attempt at a money grab - and I was not going to put up with it.
  9. Ditto, movies are utter crap, but even jaded old me can watch Kate in anything
  10. You missed the two best ones, Mekton and Heavy Gear.
  11. Ranka's character just pushed it over the top for me. The "kiddy" aspect of anime is one thing I do not appreaciate - especially when the characters in question are wearing some pretty sleazy outfits - and are usually acting more like young adults then teenagers. Does that make me your non-typical anime watcher, perhaps.
  12. > So you're saying that I if I don't like it, then leave? I did not say that, I said you did not get the point of the game - and you don't, you spefically say so (in so many words) when you complain about uber designs - making uber designs is a large part of the game. You are saying it is a terrible game when in fact you simply don't like it. Big difference.
  13. Gotta take the stated ages in anime with a grain of salt, Alto and Sheryl acted much older then they were stated as being. Ranka on the other hand looked and acted like a young girl. I have not done so on this board, but my friends and I comment on that with just about every anime show... "in real life this would never happen, even in Japan..." (and for those who are REALLY anal-retentive, child soldiers would be used if the situation was desperate enough)
  14. I replaced D&D with GURPS... (see, I can refuse to accept the point too!)
  15. When Ranka is old enough for Alto not to get slapped with corrupting the morals of a minor (from the looks of things that would be in about ten years), THEN she can get the attention...
  16. The fact that BT had to stop using all the designs speaks volumes - if they were in the "right" then they would have continued using those designs. They were a small company and probably did not put due diligence into figuring out the situation with the rights, most likely out of ignorance then malice. Before BT they were doing Traveller adventures and probably thought they knew more about licensing then they really did.
  17. First - you have missed the whole point of the game, if you hate the fill in the dots armor then you should just move on with no more comments - this game would never be for you. (I jumped ship after the first rewrite, I was not going to buy the same game over again just for a couple minor rules revisions...) Is Dougram a game? I thought it was a mecha show. Now, if you want a good mecha game with nice designs then Heavy Gear is worth a look.
  18. Humans also have this amazing capacity for self deception - even when given proof that THEY caused the whole mess in the first place a great many would still seek revenge - or would flat out refuse to believe it. One of the nice things about Macross is that the series doesn't overlook this type of human behaviour (unlike say ST, where the claim humans are beyond this or that, but the series shows them doing those things over and over)
  19. I've got those rules, and have no intention of "upgrading" them...
  20. I like the new ones better, especially the Atlas. If it is F2P I will be giving it a try.
  21. I watched it last night, and I'll ditto your comments above. The ending concert/battle was not nearly as good as the final one from the series. I loved the Firebomber outfits (and who was wearing them!) at the Prison concert, even though I really disliked M7. Finally, I did like the change they made at the very end of the movie.
  22. The Vajra, being a single mind (more or less, instant communication and understanding at any rate) would all have forgiven humanity the instant they figured out that humans were not the same - the idea that some humans could be evil while others were not would be totally alien to them, but once one of them understood it then they would all understand it.
  23. The humans are a bit quick to forgive the Vajra, that is true. A follow up series could deal with humans who are not happy that all was forgiven. As for how things started, the Vajra are "bugs" to humans, humans most likely are thought of the same way by the Vajra. I don't remember - did the humans capture a Vajra first and then the attacks on Ranka's outpost? Or the other way around? If the experments were first then all the Vajra would have know about it - and not been happy. If that Vajra attack came first then the humans would not be happy. Either way it was obvious that it was a misunderstanding.
  24. Back in the eighties I picked one up at the rental store, and the cover looked great, too bad the people in the show were all fugly, at that is putting it mildly. When you can't even trust porn then what is the world coming to?
  25. That should cause the price of books to rise rather then drop in relation to other items (mass production in printing has a large effect on pricing, wargames, which are nearly dead, have had massive price increases due to the lower print runs)
