    It's not like Stargate Universe... And the road maps always need updates. Today's planet is tomorrow's asteroid belt.

    Well, you asked. If you didn't like the answer why did you ask in the first place? As I said, they're not folding every minute the leave port. At the start of the show, Frontier has been away from its point-of-origin for almost 19 years. I'm pretty sure things have broken down during that time such that they've either replaced it with an existing unit or built a new one from scratch, which they can do. And I already noted they're not spending every waking moment in fold. Heck, far from it. It's gonna take a few generations to find a new world? Yeah. What do you think they and every other emigrant fleet has been doing out there? They certainly haven't been spending it in fold for starters. These fleets are designed for long distance, hence the phrase "super-long distance immigration fleet".

    No. The go as fast as they want. But they're traveling relatively slow because they need to hunt for resources and get a look at the layout of the land. Think of it this way, they can't see all the landmarks or find all rest stops driving at 80-100mph... Officially? No. But it's probably some thermonuclear reactor and some gold-olde OTM heat pile cluster system. Practically unlimited. Contrary to popular belief, they don't fold very often. As I said above, they really can't get any resources or survey the area in fold space.

    Yeah... You sure it's not because the creator remembers Robotech? Unfortunately people on this side of the pond seem to remember that as oppose to Macross.

    I keep forgetting to post this: Jeff Sneider's Twitter page indicates: "Expect to see THE DARK KNIGHT RISES trailer in front of SHERLOCK HOLMES 2... And MAYBE even a HOBBIT teaser." And Empire magazine covers due out this week:

    TOR system reqs: http://www.swtor.com/info/faq#171060 Considering this machine dates back to 2007 and we're on the heels of 2012....You're probably due for a full upgrade. Any video card upgrade would would probably need more power, so you would have to get a better power supply. The 1TB hard drive is completely salvageable if it's SATA (and I'm guessing it is), so I would reuse it. Maybe as a spare drive.

    Do you mean "Go to Top"? Cuz there's an arrow at the bottom of the page that does that. Or jump to another section?

    You'll probably want to avoid spoilers from and about the novel then...

    Blu-ray does have region coding. But the regions are split into 3 groups. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc#Region_codes US and Japan share the same region coding. My comment were regards to people buying import DVDs/Blu-rays with subs. The local price of Gundam Unicorn Blu-rays are already $50-60. Come with subs and dubs. The MSRP of a Frontier Blu-ray is 7350 Yen (or ~96.00 USD). Like I said, no one is going to be buying at that price. And that's without subs or dubs.

    Engineering-wise? Could be due to the on-board memory controller of later Intel chips so those pins may be needed for the northbridge to access the momory controller on the CPU. The added pins could also be for the PCIE communication. Dunno. Those would be my guesses. Could it have been backwards compatible? It probably could have. Unless you have the pin map of the Intel chips, it's hard to say what all the pins are for.

    Well it is a throw-away item. By the end of the year, all that's left is the pictures.

    Macross has had calenders for a while with the Frontier calenders just being another in the set. In fact many popular anime titles get calenders among their merchandise. But EXO's point being that it's freakin-November already and this just popped up now is valid. Unless they plan on putting it in the value rack or something. Still...a calender. That's it? That's no better than the freakin-velcro wallet.
  15. azrael
    Maybe. But we don't know what format Gundam The Origin is coming out as (OAV? TV Series?). Nor do we know how well it's going to do. All we can do is wait and see.
  16. azrael
    From a marketing standpoint, no one is going to buy a single $50-90 DVD/Blu-ray in North America. And at 3-4 episodes/disc or even a 2-hour movie, that won't even make it out the door. Bandai Entertainment did that once and it flopped. Of course he's got it wrong. What do you expect?
  17. azrael
    If it's up on PSN, provided PSN is working, then yes. Otherwise, wait till December 2nd when the Blu-ray is out. Yet, PSN has been known to be flaky with Unicorn. So it may be up one day, down the next, then back up after that. Oh Sony....

    Gents, stick to the thread topic or take it to PM.

    We have a winner! Ever hear of Gundam: The Origin? Same idea as Macross The First, but for Gundam.

    Episode 5: "The Black Unicorn" May 2012
  21. azrael
    So they chopped off the last 34 minutes and saved that for "Part 2" while the US release got all 1.5 hours on 1 disc. Talk about a slow agonizing pain... oh and milking of fans in the Spanish-speaking world.
  22. azrael
    How come they're listing it as Part 1 and Part 2? Someone in the Spanish-speaking world trying milk SC???

    After DYRL?, Tatsunoko was not involved with the franchise. This relates into Tatsunoko's lawsuit against Bandai. Tatsunoko wanted a share of the profits from the rest of the franchise (II, Plus, 7, Zero, and any future projects) because they worked on SDFM. But because they didn't work on the rest of the franchise, the courts ruled, simply, they get nothing from the rest of the franchise. Currently? Manga Entertainment. If someone were to buy assets, but not renew the trademarks, then yes, it may be possible. But you'll need to take into account regular marketing. There hasn't been a big push to put old shows onto Blu-ray. Likewise, there may not be enough demand to bring toys over at the price points they currently are at. Beyond collectors, no one is gonna buy a $300 VF toy.
  24. azrael
    Maybe. We don't know the terms of the original contract. For all we know it may have been a perpetual or even a permanent sale of those rights (it was back in the 1980s...) so Tatsunoko/Takara would probably have to buy back those rights they originally sold. While they may have initially involved HG, Agrama owns another company called Olympus Trading (among many) which did some of the licensing buying/selling in 2002-2005. If there is enough evidence to bring Agrama to actual trial then a bunch of things could happen. This article from the Los Angeles Times in 2006 may explain what's going on a bit better: http://articles.lati...cal/me-agrama29

    As Mike said, as long as you're not overclocking, the stock cooler is fine. If you are going to OC it, then spend a little more money and get a better cooler.
