    You must understand...yui1107 doesn't understand a word we're saying...nor does she care.

    Gee...someone already meme'd that pic...That was quick.

    Well, at first they were used to allow MSs to fly but then that idea faded when transforming MSs started becoming the norm for atmospheric use. By the time we got to Char's Counterattack, they became a mode of transport since MSs were being launched well beyond the combat zone and they didn't have enough fuel to get themselves to the combat zone. So they're not suppose to ride those things in some cool fashion. The hitch a ride, then ditch them when they get close enough. As for Southern Cross, they had the mother ships that carried them, then transport ships that brought them to the combat field, then they ride the hover boards in and around the combat zone...At least Mobile suits had boosters to get them around and didn't always need the Base Jabbers. I don't recall the Bioroids even having thrusters.

    OpenOffice or the fork project from OpenOffice, LibreOffice would be my choices for an Office alternative. If you want to bypass this and go cloud, Google Docs is your best choice. The only thing missing is an Outlook alternative in both suites. Unless you absolutely need Exchange support, Thunderbird or Apple's Mail client should be more than enough. But if Exchange support is a must...Evolution is the only decent non-MS Windows client around (WARNING: The Windows-version of this is still beta as this was originally designed for Linux/UNIX as is being ported to other platforms). If this is for a Mac, Apple Mail will support Exchange, but only up to Exchange 2007, not Exchange 2010, as of this posting. Evolution will only support pre-Exchange 2007 setups. Thunderbird has an Exchange 2007-specific plugin but I won't put too much faith in it as it may not work for later versions of Thunderbird or Exchange. If Exchange support is a must, I'd bite the bullet and get MS Office.

    Keep in mind that it's been used in Gundam, except they didn't look like jet-skiing hover boards, but are multipurpose transport units. Base Jabber Shackles

    I liked the personal armors in Southern Cross...and the Spartas.... It's probably a misnomer to have called them "tanks" in The Robotech Masters. Yeah well, they're getting old and they shouldn't be the target audience for a 30-minute toy commercial anyways. It's what happens when you put a fanboy in charge.... edit: There's a acronym for that: FUBAR.

    Maybe he was too reliant on the crystals back then. How about "Furball(s)".

    They're not as smart as you or I? I would say it's probably due to market saturation. They've probably had less imports coming from Japan. So when VFs are displayed, we see "Macross" more, they see "Robotech". It's probably why HG seems to give more love to the South American market than North America. Or because South America was an untapped market so it made it ripe for HG to move in there. It's a guess. You'll probably want to talk to our South American members.

    Fanboy rage I sense...mmmmm.

    I'm reminded of an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation with this week's upcoming episode....

    Semantics, people. Semantics. The journalist didn't ask them "Did they change any material?" Of course they didn't create anything new. They just CHANGED it using existing material. Fer-cryin' out loud, where are these people learning journalism from?????????
  14. azrael
    Fine. You don't have use buzz words like "gritty", "dark", or "modern" or whatever BS Hollywood uses as an excuse to redo it all.
  15. azrael
    They could at least do things that would allow them to develop and expand the franchise into something a little more "creative" instead of being tied down to a mess. Something "new" ("New" being something they create that doesn't involve someone else's license). Like I said, they already adapted 3 unrelated series into their fine mess. Adapting or adding more shows into their world would be like pushing their creative bankruptcy to their kids. If they start fresh from the beginning with a reboot (not the wussy soft-boot DC Comics is doing, but a full reboot), it would at least feel like they're trying to break free of their creative bankruptcy. Don't even use buzz words like "gritty", "dark", or "modern" or whatever BS Hollywood uses as an excuse. Eff-it, just dig the dead plant out of the ground and plant something new. Cuz grafting obviously hasn't worked out. We know Hollywood is creatively bankrupt anyways, what's one more to the pile of poo? Would you rather have Robotech Frontier? Robotech Plus? Robotech 7? Robotech Zero? Hell, why limit yourself Macross. Let's do "Blue Comet SPT Robotech", or "Super Dimension Century Robotech", or "Combat Mecha Robotech". Call in someone else to do it then...oh wait.... [cough]RT LAM[/cough]

    Probably not. Again, this is Dengeki Hobby, a magazine for model makers, toy customizing enthusiasts and scratch builders. The great thing about the magazine is, they'll tell you what it's made out of (custom or production resin kits or production model kit) and most of the time, HOW they did it.
  17. azrael
    Yeah...we're already talking about it here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=35118 Feel free to stop by.
  18. azrael
    Hence the reboot. If we strip away everything but the name, will it still stand? Although, the RT franchise has been creatively bankrupt from the start since they adapted 3 unrelated shows into their "universe". I'm just giving them a chance to finally break free, should they choose to accept it. If they choose not to, then we know that creative bankruptcy knows no bounds.
  19. azrael
    No.

    See, if Row-bow-tech was truly an awe-inspiring series, something that has stood the test of time, blah blah blah, etc., then you won't need to splash a random image of Macross in the ad(s). It should be able to do it by name alone. Even if this is some ad agency doing the poster, the fact that they put it there only proves Row-bow-tech can't stand on its own. So we come to a "prove me wrong"-moment. Prove to me that you don't need Macross and its franchise, Southern Cross, and Mospeada to survive. If Robotech did such a good job of improving these stories, then you won't need them. Reboot the franchise. If it has stood up all these years, a reboot will not hurt it. Take away the old character and mecha designs and create new ones. Redo the story so that they're strung together into one coherent story instead of Carl Maeck's 90-second sewing job. Stop relying on Macross and its franchise, Southern Cross, and Mospeada. Stop trying to make sequels or sidquels. Stop trying to sell collection set after collection set. Reboot the whole franchise and start fresh. If that can be done, then it will earn my respect. 'Til then.

    So the people who made that poster, Entertainment One, Ltd., realized Tommy's artwork sucks and resorted to using something from Frontier to make the poster look better? Ouch. Tommy should sue them for defamation.

    Honestly, 16 GB of RAM is a bit much. Even at my worst, I'll probably never break 5 of my 12GB. Also, for the price of that SSD, you could probably get a Raptor or a higher capacity HD for the price. I know SSDs are quite popular and people love the fast access, but if you want to be economical, a SSD probably isn't something I would consider.
  23. azrael
    It was a good episode, but not the best so far. I would like to see a little more backstory on rest of the cast before we spend some time on the main story though.

    Maybe Cameron should do a non-Avatar 3D flick just to demonstrate "This is how you frakin' use 3D, ya dumbasses".

    If you're softcoding the subs, I believe you can specify which fonts to use in both Mplayer and VLC which will override any specific fonts of the file. Hardcoding should be able to avoid that problem.
