In that panel video, I thought I heard Tommy say they wanted to market RT internationally and that they didn't want to get into trouble with copyright holders so they used Mospeada designs. It was right after he was waving around the Stealth Veritech. It's drowned out in noise, but it's there. Now for something more Carl-related. In that panel video, Maeck mentions the crap of anime coming out. I'll give him that but at the same time, isn't that exactly what's going on in Hollywood? We're seeing remakes, re-imaging, and heck the highest grossing movie of all time is Dances with Wolves on another planet and with aliens instead of Native Americans and with enough eye-candy to give me cavities several times. It reminds me of something Dana Gould said about The Simpsons critics in the anniversary special. People criticize The Simpsons for not being as funny anymore and his rebuttal was "Well, neither are you, if that's the problem." And maybe that's something that should be said. Before you criticize the current state of things, take a good look in the mirror. Nothing is as ever as good as it was so don't be so quick to open your mouth about it.

If 4chan is the cesspool of the 'net, let see if we can actually put it to some good use. I'm gonna leave this here as food-for-thought. I'm not looking for a response or an answer 'cuz I probably know what it is. I have to give the producers of Astro Plan some creativity points for their show. It's getting a 2nd season, according to kresphy, so that must mean something. Yeah it's a copy of every popular mecha anime in the past 5 years, thrown into the pot, mixed, and boiled for and hour. But you know what? They took the concept of Macross' transforming planes and applied it to the J-10 and the J-11 and came up with something... fairly unique. And then I look at RT:SC and I look at the good-guy mecha and I see a rehashed design. No originality, just a CG rehash. And I'm thinking "how much were paid to the people who produced this thing?" Astro Plan has some of THE crappiest animation and loads of reused CG, rehashed story, and the producers were probably paid less than the people who produce Frontier. But yet they actually came up with something fairly creative that I'm actually giving them props for. I'm giving props to a Chinese bootleg over something that had a larger budget and better talent. And these people with more money and better talent are still promoting a bunch of 25-year old shows and the best they could come up with was RT:SC? And they're waiting for Hollywood to "revive" their franchise? And yet China produced something I could still potentially watch while drunk and throwing up? And another thing, AP only has 1 female character showing her rack and RT:SC needs 3?

Well, tell the kids on 4Chan and tell them to start boosting Macross' ratings and marking down RT's ratings. Just to "balance" things out.

Most of the time it doesn't. It does matter if you want to use your RAM in a dual or triple channel configuration. But if you don't want to, then put it in which ever slot you wish. Under normal circumstances that is.

Kinda reminds me this phrase "one man's trash is another man's treasure". This is probably one thing I'll never quite get the grasp of nor understand people who make that kind of claim. A "flaw" means that there's something wrong with it. Like it shouldn't be there. But it works for Macross. I don't see how it's a flaw when it works (and blends very well) for the original series. It like complaining about Mary Jane falling off the bridge instead of Gwen Stacy in the 1st Spiderman movie. It works for the context of the movie. Or the differences between an original production and its remake.

That's putting it mildly... .

Perhaps going conventional was to save money. But keep in mind The VF-27's beam gun pod. New technology always comes with a cost. And even the VF-25's head lasers were losing their effectiveness on the Vajra after a while. They used mostly directed-energy weapons.

I think there's a typo on the Frontier sheet for the VB-6. It says in the spec box that there are 2 thermonuclear engines, when, in the same the article, mentions 4. And in this Game/Adv. Valk sheet, it also mentions 4.

Probably zero. The VF-14 is not as well known as the Fire Valk or the VF-17.

The YF-21's GV-17L was made by Howard/GE. Gamlin's VF-22's GV-17L was made by Hughes/GE. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Also throw in the fact that the Hi-Metal is a 1/100 and this guy will be a 1/60. If it does come with a Sound Booster, the price might drive people to the Hi-Metal. Remember kids, think mold milking.

The Chronicle only mentioned the 180-figure once. Haven't seen it since. According to the Chronicle, Gamlin's VF-22 used the GV-17L. Max and Milia's VF-22s used the BP-14D.

So now there's a litmus test for RT fans? An 8-oz cup. Plenty of Appale Genki will be avaliable. And should you fill that cup before the end of those 27 hours, you will have hold it. Additionally, Simon Cowell will also be there to provide commentary. 36-times, per track, in a row. Get it right. And in 10 words or less. Oh and by the way, we normally serve steak, with plenty of salad, and cake for your meal.

Just jiggle the heat sink to spread the thermal pad around when you press it on the CPU. That should fix the holes. I won't worry too much about air pockets if you wiggle the heat sink around when you press it on the CPU. If you're really worried, scrape off the thermal pad and apply some AS5.

I don't think that's normal. But then again, assuming you were going to use it, when it gets pressed onto the CPU, the pad will probably spread out and fill the holes. Even with the holes, there's still coverage so I won't worry that much. It's not like the pad is missing 15%.

I'll believe it when I hear they've greenlit a script. Till then, they can keep talking.

With the explosive force of that salad, you sure it's not Michael Bay's pineapple salad?

Those are intellectual properties. "Intellectual Property" is a vague term so I really hate using it. http://www.wipo.int/about-ip/en/ As I said, the lady could have asked the question better to limit Yune's answer. Otherwise we get the merchandise/trademark answer, which is yes, they can use it.

So they're gonna tease me with a glossary entry for the VF-4? I want a actual Mechanic sheet for the VF-4.

Yep. Again, he's talking about merchandising. Comics, toys, t-shirts, novels, blah blah blah. And that's the money-maker. Those "derivative works" that he mentions are "products derived from the series". He's not really muddying the truth, more like just answering it from the merchandising side. The lady asking the question kinda shares part of the blame since I'm not sure she quite understands the situation and "how" she should have asked the question.

Just out of curiosity, I decided to do a search in the US Copyright database for "Macross" (I'm not sure I can directly link each reference but it's easy to do a lookup anyways. Linky) And then this: Majority of the references, as I understand it, of Macross relate to SDFM. I need to find the Japan Copyright and Trademark databases just to see what's listed in there.

The kids at Crytek (the developers) developed their game engine as a way to properly bring real-life elements, or realism, to games. Things like movement, water effects, animals, physics, lighting and shading, surfacing, depth of field, parallax, blur, really really really large areas without the need to load section by section, etc etc. etc. Those things require some powerful graphics to properly replicate on both the CPU and GPU side. This is why the CryEngine is used as a benchmark for graphics cards because many of those features really pushes graphics cards to their limits. When most people want properly to test their system, they'll use something running the CryEngine system to see how well their setup does. Most games use a certain amount of textures and shaders, while the CryEngine usually uses double or triple that amount, which is why it pushes systems.

Yeah, I'm sure that's covered somewhere in comics. That is, if you consider it promotional art. Serial #75750692 Serial #76288366 Serial #76385551 Serial #76382155 Serial #76480124

I doubt he'll get scolded, my boy. Notice how they keep using "Macross" and not "Macross franchise" or naming specific series in the "Macross franchise". Their trademark applies to "Macross", which is in reference to "Super Dimension Fortress Macross" or "Chou Jikuu Yousai Macross (Ma-Ku-Ro-Su). But as we've mentioned, they have a mark on "Macross" or "Ma-Ku-Ro-Su" or ｢マクロス｣ as well as the Chinese, Korean, or any Asian spelling of that word (It's all in the USPTO database for anybody to lookup, and I really suggest anyone interested to look it up. LINKY). And yes it applies to drawings. So there is some truth to his supposed statement, just not the exact truth.

Not at the moment. Maybe when Bandai's exclusive agreement ends down the road. But by then, will Yamato still exist? We'll see. The group, later known as Supervision Army, were brainwashed, or I should say mainipulated Protoculture citizens (and Zentradi, this part is kinda iffy) used to fight against Protoculture by the Protodeviln. They didn't call themselves the "Supervision Army" until after the Protodeviln were sealed. They differ from the Zentradi, for the most part, since they are not genetically made. The SA are real people and not genetic warriors.
