Besides security updates released between SP2 and SP3 it has the following updates, enhancements and new features: MMC 3.0 MSXML 6 Microsoft Installer 3.1v2 Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 2.5 IPSec Simple PolicyUpdate for Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Digital Identity Management Service (DIMS) Peer Name Resolution Protocol (PNRP) 2.1 Remote Desktop Protocol 6.1 Wi-Fi Protected Access2 (WPA2) "Black Hole" Router Detection Network Access Protection (NAP) CredSSP Security Service Provider Descriptive Security Options User Interface Enhanced security for Administrator and Service policy entries Microsoft Cryptographic Module Windows Product Activation SP3 does not change XP UI or experience compared to SP2. You may encounter compatibility issues between programs or drivers that were functional in SP2 but not functional in SP3. But any updates to those programs, if available should remedy that. Neglible. As mentioned, there isn't enough of a change between SP2 and SP3 that would really affect your experience. No. It will not install IE7 or 8 or new versions of Media Player. However, if you have newer versions of IE or Media Player, you will not be able to uninstall them after installing the service pack. Windows XP SP3 white paper

I suspect that the Chronicle will not cover the games and just stick to the animated works. The games will probably get mention in the merchandise sections, but I don't think they'll get recognition from the other sections. I'm digging around for info about the Gundam Fact Files, but I suspect it was the same. They only covered the animated works and left the games in merchandising sections.

Maybe they just want to stick to the animated works and not the games. Not place them out of canon but just not cover them. I wonder, did Gundam Files or whatever their "Chronicle" was called, avoid the games?

Come on, you know you want to b*tch about Mylene's million outfits just like I complain about the VF-1's many entries.

Or this could all be an elaborate story just to mind-frak all of you.

If my memory serves me, Graham talked to the people at the Satelight booth at the C3 convention in Hong Kong, recently. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=742836 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=743122 Do the creators know about MW? Probably not. Do they care? Probably not.

They've never said what the official language of the Macross universe is. They've used English in various places like VF-X and in Macross Frontier (ep. 1 Deculture edition). Keep in mind Shin Kudo is Japanese-American and was part of the U.S. Navy and yet they were all speaking Japanese. I'm gonna blame it on the "Universal translator"-effect. Why are Hikaru and Roy speaking in Japanese when they probably are speaking English? Universal translator-effect.

As long as you don't ask what kind, what their made of, or where they come from...yes, "doggie" treats. They are the legal owners of the SDF Macross animation reels so they can license that footage to HG. They do not have rights to the original story, character art or mecha art, which is the legal property of BW.

So we're spending the entire Timeline sheet on Sharon throwing a temper tantrum with Myung and Guld getting his freak on with Myung...

Unlike the RT mods, we get paid in doggie treats...and some tan/brownish substance which Shawn makes us drink. Tastes like blood, sweat, melted toy plastic, and Graham's gunpower mix which is strangely addictive. Then we chase it down with beer. Shawn only gives out Yoshinol as yearly bonuses.

There's a reason why I say "captain of <insert a ship or fleet here>", i.e. command of the vessel/fleet and not "Captain", i.e. the rank. They are the master of a vessel (Wikipedia). Perhaps a better translation of "Kancho" is "skipper" for those of you who can't differentiate the 2 meanings.

Yeah, the Newbie thread.

Much like in Star Trek, where both George Kirk and James Kirk became captain of a Starfleet vessel without actually having the rank of "Captain". In fact, Jeff Wilder is captain of Macross Quarter but is rank is "Colonel".

Well, if the thing is old and about to die, "free" means passing the buck, i.e. it becomes his problem instead of the previous owner's. How old is the TV? Do you have room for it? And as EXO mentioned, disposal may be a problem down the road so do you want to inherit someone else's stuff?

Not in one all-encompassing package which can be digested in 1 sitting. RT wraps it all up in one messy but packaged set. Macross requires time and effort to hunt down and watch, which RT fans lack.

Yeh...That's gonna need a stand in Battroid mode. If you don't have one now...now would be a good time to get one.

No time slot information either. All they've released is that it will come midseason.

It will be a mid-season premiere. So probably January 2010.

Considering the Shizuoka show just ended 4 days ago and the hobby magazines aren't due out for another 2 weeks....I don't think we'll be hearing much during that time.

Harem-endings always work. ALWAYS.

There's a wonderful thread called the "Newbie thread" to answer quick questions like this.

Good grief.

Yep. They've made statements but nothing concrete. No official synopsis has been released to press so we can't say 100% for sure. It could be a one-shot movie, a series of movies, a side-story movie.

We now have a date and a cast: http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/14196/abc...10-tv-schedule/ V (Sci-Fi Drama, Mid-Season) "V" is a re-imagining of the 1980's miniseries about the world's first encounter with an alien race in which the aliens call themselves The Visitors, and have a seemingly friendly agenda that may or may not be a cover for something more malevolent. "V" stars Elizabeth Mitchell as Erica Evans, Morris Chestnut as Ryan Nichols, Joel Gretsch as Father Jack Landry, Lourdes Benedicto as Valerie Stevens, Logan Huffman as Tyler Evans, Laura Vandervoort as Lisa, with Morena Baccarin as Anna and Scott Wolf as Chad Decker. NBC and FOX have also released their Fall lineups but I didn't see many remakes there...just lots of similar-sounding shows.
