My friends and I are casual Star Wars fans at best. All around 30-31 or so, fairly normal I suppose. We all drink, married/divorced etc lol. We all thought TPM wasn't very good(except for the final lightsaber battle) and AOTC was alright. And about the special editions, we all don't hate them but we kinda feel alot of the changes/additions were unecessary(for example the new shuttle scene with Darth Vader in the SE of the Empire Strikes Back). One thing I did like was the additional scenes of the Wampa. Also it would be nice that original versions were available again to those who want them so they wouldn't have to resort to bootlegs. My two nephews (ages 9 and 18) think Star Wars is for nerds lol. I don't think I've ever met anyone under 21 who likes Star Wars at all. I'm sure they exist though. I have high hopes for EP3. Loved what I have seen so far. I'll probably go see it when I'm on vaction in North Carolina (I'll be at the Coca-Cola 600 and a Hendrick car better not win...again grrr) in May. A1's generalization of only normal people love them all is as asinine as Fox news. And he knows it. He's just saying BS to get a rise outta everyone. As usual lol.

Please do not insult Armored Core like that. Graham You're telling me that green one doesn't look like it's made from Zio Matrix parts? Oh yeah those look they could be from an AC game. Pretty cool looking. When are the toys coming?

After opening your music folder, make sure your music tracks aren't in a folder within a folder. The PSP won't see the music tracks. I had that problem when I was using iTunes.

Ya thanks for the link. I'm sure Dell was swamped with orders. I saw a link to that on several videogame boards including gamefaqs.com. Mine won't ship until Apr 25th.

While it might have a few graphic scenes DYRL is rather tame. If you want 80's graphic violence goodness go watch Fist of the North Star the movie lol

Well the numbers are in Sony sold 600,000 out of a 1,000,000 in the first week. Not bad considering the price. http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/04/07/news_6121853.html and I have a white dead pixel..dammit... luckily its in the corner. Its not that noticebale though.

Looks alright I guess. But since I really don't like MOSPEADA that much and I hate Robotrash, I doubt I'll watch any of it. I'm curious to see what they will do with the Macross characters.

Nah, Berserk Japanese releases are also coming along pretty slow... about one every other season is seems for the past few volumes. Guess he's running out of ways to kill off hordes of monters, lol Speaking of which, anybody tried out the Berserk PS2 game yet? Wondering if it's worth the import... or I could just get it and let you guys know how it is The Berserk PS2 game is good. Hack & slash gore fest. The boss battles are great. Blows away the Dreamcast game. The story takes place around volumes 23-27. The game is very import friendly. Almost all of the menus are in English. The only downside is that Berserk (like most hack & slash games) can get a little tiresome. The constant killing can become boring lol.

Well Star Trek fans might be 40 year old virgins but at least they don't wait at the wrong theater lol http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/a...ar_wars_geeks_3 Why the hell would you start waiting in line now at any theater?

IIRC, the Southern Cross models I bought back in the 80's had the BW sticker on them.

Love the job that's being done with it (I'm so glad DH didn't use Studio Proteus), but the one volume every three months thing really blows. Dark Horse is doing a decent job with Berserk. I think I'll be 40 by the time they catch up with the Japanese. I wish they'd at least get Berserk out every two months. Were getting 4 releases a year, while they get 2. But Berserk is also serialized in the magazine, Young Animal. Isn't that out every couple of weeks? Volume 7 from DH should be out this week or next. EDIT I was wrong. I could of sworn it was due out soon. Now its May 4th. http://www.darkhorse.com/profile/profile.php?sku=10-486

Yikes! I was considering reading the manga, but now I'm not sure if I want to. Sorry for the spoiler It only a few pages in volume 3 and 4, IIRC. Guts gets his revenge of course. Berserk is one of the best manga series I've ever read. The story, characters, violence are top notch(well most of the time).

There's enough material (the manga is on volume 28) but its the content. All the stuff that happens after the TV series is alot more violent. The TV series violence/sexual situations were toned down compared to the manga. Kind of glad about that. Didn't really wanna see Guts raped when he was boy animated...

lol

no idea. I had heard rumors that a second season wouldn't be done until the manga is over...that could be awhile. Also heard another rumor that anymore Berserk would be in the form of OVAs instead of a TV series. Media Blasters wanted to fund a second season. But these are all rumors nothing more.

Sticks & Stones, my friend..Sticks & Stones, Ha! BTW, at least HG aligning their product with an orginization that deals with making world a better place to live. Really? Which one? In any case, at least Big West comes up with some original content now and again. In 20 years, all HG has is Robotech, and even that wasn't really original. Original content let's see......Macross 2......Macross 7....Countless Macross video games..... Eh what do you know about original content you are an SNK fan lol j/k so am I.

If the big pimps at BG had the same deal HG has with the UN we wouldn't be having this conversation. Dunno about that. I know I don't want any anime affilated with politics or government organizations. Macross included. Especially those pussies at the UN.

Scopedog weapons pack set #1 up for preorder at HLJ. 5800 yen http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT34220 http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=691

I don't get it either. The UN and Robotrash? I wonder who's idea this was. Who actually thought the fans would like it or that this would be worth the effort. What's the reaction on this among the RT fans? some more info on the PSA http://www.theshadowchronicles.com/info.php?id=un check out that last line lol

Looks cool. Looks fragile. If Yamato could turn it into a somewhat durable toy, ya I'd buy it.

ugh here we go again...what was more popular, M7 aimed at younger fans, was M7 successful etc etc etc. This horse has been beaten to death and turned into dog food or a McDonalds hamburger....lol We really need a new full length Macross TV series to complain about Its only been 10-11 years...

Maybe I'll go. I only live about 45 minutes from there. Depends on the cash situation of course.

ROTJ better than ESB?...please A1 I thought you'd hate the Ewoks. Conan is king. Great film. I'm hoping episode 3 is good. I think GL will finally get it right with the prequels. The trailers look great.

Wow I'm surprised this "gay" thread lasted the weekend. lol

Didn't see any of Wrestlemania but the WWE is headed back to USA network for 3 years starting this October. corporate.wwe.com
