The computer and electronics super geek thread
Archer replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Yeah, the S4 had some innovations, but I like the One's classy look, a very nice LCD screen. As for nexus phones, I do like that they are unlocked, and sell for cheaper, but I kinda dislike that they always....*hold back* a little, making it appealing thanks to vanilla android, but also hindering, since they fail to give it steller hardware that the other superphones tend to have. For example, the Nexus 4, an amazing phone, doesn't have LTE, which is becoming fairly standard nowadays. Hopefully with obtaining motorola, we'll see nexus phones become the next iPhone in terms of popularity and evolution (and hopefully without the stagnation ) -

Cool, thanks man! I still have a few months till the S4 or HTC one launches here on AT&T, but this is a good strategy. -

"The ESN just needs to be disassociated with your number" How does one go about doing this? Do you just pull out the SIM? Sorry for the onslaught of questions, but I'm not very familiar with the actual "phone" part of a cell phone I know, I know, but that'll be about a year and a half, and I'd rather not wait that long. iPhone is reliable, but it's getting to be fairly stagnated, and I'd like a little more flavor, if you know what I mean. And I use my cell phone constantly to watch videos, so the bigger screen and 1080p res. will be a huge help. If I play my cards right, I don't actually think I'll be paying too much, since iPhone 5's are going for around 550 bucks, and the HTC One launches at 600 dollars (so about a 50 dollar charge, which I can take). -
Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru GQuuuuuuX

I'm actually somewhat looking forward to Destiny Astray. Lowe was a much more tolerable character than the rest of the SEED cast in my opinion. But hey, I'm biased being more of a UC guy- 3717 replies

The computer and electronics super geek thread
Archer replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Could I simply take out the SIM of the iPhone 5, and sell the phone without unlocking it? Or will AT&T unlock the phone for me if I buy a phone outright from them (for the full price)? AT&T iPhone 5s seem to be going for around 500 - 600 bucks on eBay, even without unlocking them, so I might take that strategy, and simply transfer SIMS. And yeah, you guys are right, phones get a lot better faster than our contracts will allow us to catch up! After 6 years with an iPhone though, things are getting stagnated. It doesn't help that my iPad is rapidly becoming synonymous with the iPhone... -

Archer replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
So guys, I need some advice, as I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff. I bought an iPhone 5 16 GB on launch day from AT&T (and I'm on a family plan). Now, 6 months or so later, both the HTC One and Galaxy S4 are set to launch, and are considerably better phones than the iPhone 5 (in my opinion of course). Since I'm not completed with my 2 year contract, is there any way for me to get a new phone without forking over the 600 - 700 dollars full price for the new phone? Thanks! Edit: I'm planning on staying on contract with AT&T on the new phone, not terminating it or switching carriers -
I think you can do screen captures with one of those capture cards right? But yeah, most people don't own one of those (unless you do Youtube gaming commentary or reviews or something), and taking a camera pic is probably easier Either way, since this is a different transformation from the VF-25, I'm excited. Hoping to see more legitimate pics soon...

Lol, no worries man, it just got my mind thinking that's all. Good to know I didn't miss a button after 7 years with a PS3
-
Aren't the PS button and the home button the same thing? Or am I just really dumb?
-
LOL, no worries anime, I wasn't upset or anything, sorry if it came off that way As for Gundam Sentinel, I can definitely see the S/Ex-S Gundam being fairly overpowered, but I do like that it has an AI doing most of the piloting when things get rough. As for overpowered grunts, most of the main units are Zeta Plus or GM III units on the federation side right? Since Gundam Sentinel is after ZZ, Zeta Plus, in my mind, seems alright since it's just a mass produced zeta, much like the rezel (it just has a more Gundam-ish head). Also, since most of the ZZ units are FAZZ units without transformation features to cheapen the model, and since the ZZ is now slightly outdated, I think it's alright, although it's pushing it, and I can see where you are coming from. But mainly, I was talking about the choreography of the grunt battles. A lot of the times, the pilots maintain wave rider mode, since it's more feasible for combat in space, much like in Macross, etc. I really enjoy technical stuff like that, more so than Beam Magnum/Newtype Fin Funnel, etc. craziness

Well no, but it's nice to see grunt units actually do "something" beyond acting like lit up targets for hero Gundam. Beyond that, very few grunt units are what I'd call OP, but rather, true to what they are capable of. It's not like rezels are pwning the Sinanju or something. Lastly, few have epic music spamfests like the unicorn. Anybody notice that the unicorn has yet to take ANY damage whatsoever? It may be that the thought of a 25 ft robot actually being able to do some damage is foreign to you thanks to waves of series where grunts are useless, but I like that Gundam Unicorn gives them a little more credibility.

Well, Episode 4 had a lot of action as well, but I thought the crazy battle around the Geruda, and the escape to space plus glimpse at sinanju vs. the General Revil in episode 5 warranted it as the most action heavy episode so far. But yeah, the Torrington Bay battle was pretty awesome as well, almost forgot about it! I love it when I get to see good quality battles of grunt units vs. each other, and not just Unicorn "Epic Music" spamfest. This is why I'm sincerely hoping we get to see Gundam Sentinel animated

I agree with you that more action should have been present. But I guess since episode 5 was pure action from start to finish, I don't mind if things slowed down a bit. But yes, spring 2014 is a bit redonkulous

I just started Psych Pass, since it was on Hulu plus. So awesome so far, very Minority Report-esque -

Well, I finished persona 4, and man was it an epic run. Anybody have thoughts on persona 3? I'd like to get portable since it functions on the vita, and since I won't have access to the PS3 for about 2 months. Any opinions on FES vs. Portable for Persona 3?- 6837 replies

All Things Videogame Related: EXTREME VS!!
Archer replied to Keith's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Thanks for the tips on Metal Gear Rising guys. I just spammed R1 + Triangle (the slide kick) on the blade wolf a ton, leading up to Raiden's crazy sword kick/jab heavy combo, which did tons of damage, allowing me to finish him off. But, I still think I'm gonna bump down to easy to enjoy my first playthrough without frustration (I bought the game for the story, surprisingly ) In other news, I actually got Legend of the Dragoon on my Vita. A friend of mine from elementary school (who is also my college roommate! ) had it and we both remember playing it together as kids, so when the recent Vita update allowed us to get it on Vita, we jumped on the possibility. I always really liked the addition system, and it really was both our first real "RPG" experience, so it has a special place in my heart- 6837 replies

Lol, sorry guys, I didn't really think that was much of a spoiler...the poster before me (duel Gundam) already established the same point as well. I thought it wasn't much of a big deal

Archer replied to Keith's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
So, I've been playing metal gear rising. Does anyone else think this game is crazy hard, or is it just me? I had to bump down to easy from normal after the dog kept kicking my butt. The parry dynamic is pretty hard to get down without the assist! I salute you guys who can clear this game on very hard!- 6837 replies

This should not surprise any of us. Come on guys, we've seen this cycle repeat, what, 5 or 6 times already? Just this time, it was a lot worse since even NY sold out. A little sad regardless though....

I remember this show when it was on Toonami, I think when I was still in elementary school. Needless to say, I ate up anything Gundam back then, and thought it was a considerably good, and fairly comical show. That being said, it is not hard to entertain an 8 year old Ah, that takes me back, it was Captain Gundam (ex-78-2/gp-01), Zero (wing zero), and Bakunetsumaru (shining gundam) as the main characters right??

I'm dead certain now that FFVXIII will be square's launch title for this generation of consoles....which is kinda awkward since they announced it at launch of the previous generation of consoles....
