Or did you get that file from a P2P network?

where did you get the file?

There is not such thing as "Raw Gundam Seed Destiny" (now now, we don't need comments from the peanut gallery.... ). It's "Gundam Seed Destiny" raw, as in raw anime or anime without subs. Are you using Windows or Mac OS? Do you have the proper codecs installed (Divx or Xvid)? What media player are you using? You didn't know? The hope was that there would be some character development in this episode but that didn't happen.

Downloading ep. 41 raw right now....From the people who've seen it already, Athrun's half is worth a listening to. Otherwise, nothing new. Come back next week. Oh and they've put in IJ, SF, Akatsuki and Legend release it's DRAGOONs in the opening. Kira's half is boring. Go ahead and skip the episode if you want. edit: More little things: the coloring of SF and IJ's joints are brighter in the opening. Preview for next week shows the DOMs landing and a patched Athrun going out.

Anti-UN? Best just to read the back story... http://www.anime.net/macross/story/chronol...1999/index.html As for why M0 is sitting quiet on the shelf... As said, OVAs are minimally promoted these days. Production values are much higher given the lower episode count. This is why they can afford more work and a looser production schedule. OVAs are not as big as they use to be anymore. There's more dedication to TV series or feature-length movies. The direct-to-video line has died down over the years due to marketing concerns. Looser production values can lead to tighter marketing. Many series are heading to TV land to offset the figures. And as Keith stated, M0 is fairly recent and unlicensed in the US (due to certain legal ramifications) so very few people have seen it. It's not easy to obtain through normal means. With the toy line, Yamato is moving away from Macross toy line. They do have licenses for toys however, they have yet to fully exploit it. Over the last year, we have heard of a decreasing amount of news from Yamato concerning the Macross toy line. Macross, unfortunately, with time as a factor, has fallen into a smaller niche. With a larger gap between series, decrease in marketing, and the creators moving (and quite busy, working) on other projects, it is very hard for them to get together and continue the franchise. Don't think that this is the end though. Macross will be around for quite a while, but don't expect news to come out every month from your favorite anime-related magazine about it.

You do know that posting Man-Faye qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment right?

Can we get back on the subject of why Minmei is a whore? Or why Scott seems to have grown younger in this series compared to Mospeada?

M7 will recap the chronologically important highlights from SDF Macross and DYRL?.

Ditto.

Yeah...but I doubt the anime laws of economics could allow that. But we already have a solution for GS/GSD...beam shields or an "Armure Lumiere" lightwave barrier (but that's just a beam shield)

The patch won't be out for a while. Sorry. Because, unfortunately, people tend to see games, in general, as stuff for kids. Movies are treated differently due to culture and yadda yadda yadda. The last time I walked into a EB Games store, what did I see? Some kids, some mature people, and some kids with their parents. Although I haven't been to a TRU in almost...2 years the last time I was there, they were selling the console games along with the kid's stuff in there. You have to provide a clear distinction between games and toys. For now, I just don't see that because this culture associates games with toys. Of course, you can sit here and think about the why, how, and what, but that's one possible reason and a overview of your answer.

And I thought it would be a quiet night... Since you bring it up, Akatsuki is coated with a "mirror coating" on it's armor, not anti-beam coating (which is probably on it's shield). This coating allows it to reflect (not refract like Forbidden's Geschmeidig Panzer or absorb like a regular shield) energy weapons. When I say reflect, I mean take a laser pointer or flashlight and shine it directly at a mirror. If you change the angle you change the angle of reflection, blah blah blah. How much wear and tear it can take is unknown. Anti-beam coating, which is used on shields, is prone to wear-and-tear (ex: Yzak blocking Forbidden's shots with his shield). This is more like a space shuttle's heat protection tiles. With enough energy, a anti-beam coating can be rendered useless (like Strike Rouge blocking that shot from the Gunner Zaku). It's not like Phase shift, it's more like polish, so to speak. Phase Shift works by nullifying the impact. Anti-beam coating just absorbs it. It doesn't nullify the impact.

If ORB was being beaten, then Shinn wouldn't have gone out. But ORB was pushing back, so he went out. If Cagalli opened her mouth, Shinn would have forced his way off Minerva screamin kill kill kill. From Gunota: And some potential spoilers

Shinn is part of FAITH now. The only person he listens to is Palp...I mean Dullindal. And Shinn has has his fill of BS from ORB so unless the good Sith Lo...I mean the Chairman was right there barking orders, Shinn will just say screw you.

I have a feeling that the MSIA (like the 1/144) was done prior to lineart for the DRAGOONs. If they wanted to get the product on the assembly line, they would have to forgo the DRAGOONs. The HG 1/100 does have the DRAGOONs while the early products dont.

But it didn't matter since EA still invaded. Other nations seem to have hearing problems when it comes to ORB. But Uzumi was in charge of ORB then. Times have changed. As the commander in the episode said, this time things are different. Fool me once shame on me. Fool me twice...And as far as ZAFT is concerned, the Sarans are still in control of ORB. This is why Cagalli was making her way to ORB HQ. She cannot broadcast from Akatsuki, certainly not from Archangel, and certainly not from anywhere else. She needs to be in control of ORB at ORB. ZAFT will listen when they are off the island and chillin outside ORB territory. Why should ZAFT listen when their kicking the crap out of ORB? If someone is beating you up and winning, why would they want to listen to you? As far as they are concerned, they're right, your wrong and your losing the arguement. Why should they listen to ORB when obviously Orb didn't listen to ZAFT? Whether they attack civilians or the military, they are still attacking ORB.

Time for some food for thought: http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commen...omment-opinions

*feels headache* Okay, let me get this straight. Kyle becomes a hypocrite and joins the military. Minmei sleeps with Edwards. Minmei then sleeps with Wolfe. Then Edwards forces Wolfe back to Earth for sleeping with his woman. Minmei dumps him and gets banged by Rem/Zor clone #157102. She has his baby who grows up to be Zor Prime. They all get caught up in a time loop. Zor Prime then sends the SDF-3 back to Earth where it becomes the SDF-1. You're not contending it was a Predestination Paradox?* Oh. and Minmei is a WHORE. *reference Star Trek Deep Space Nine, "Trials and Tribbleations", episode 503.

*Bangs head on table* I know, let's just make a game where the guy and girl are having sex with their clothes on. Would that be more appropriate? Or better yet, just black out the scene and make the character run around humping everything until it finds the girl. Then you have your pr0n and you won't offend anybody since you can't see a thing. I think we mentioned this a page or 2 back.

The problem with the neutrality card is, ORB threw it away when the Sarans allied with EA. As soon as the invasion started, anything ORB would/could/should do would make it look like they were stalling for Djibril. ZAFT had no reason to listen. They allied with EA. They allowed Djibril to enter the country. They lied about his whereabouts. Would you believe it if Cagalli all of a sudden broadcasted a message tell you to cease fire? Do you love it when people fight for hopeless causes? As soon as she gained control of the government, arresting the Sarans and getting Djibril's whereabouts were the easy things. Pushing ZAFT out....that's another story.

Isn't the nudity in Sims 2 just a skin patch (i.e. Mod)? It's not part of the game content, hidden or otherwise. The skins in Sims 2 are the only skins there and they have blurred out the private parts. If that's what it is... Where's my rocket launcher? I feel the need to frag a certain attorney.

Probably, it would have been doubtful that ZAFT would listen. The last time Cagalli went out and broadcasted to ZAFT, the ORB fleet said that's not her. So ZAFT has no reason to believe that it is Cagalli and no reason to trust ORB. By the time Cagalli showed up, the front line collapsed (no thanks to the Sarans). So she needed to 1) kick out the trespassers (ZAFT) from her property, 2) Arrest and detain the idiotic caretakers of her property (Sarans) 3) Find and grab the unwanted house guest (Djibril). Worst off, ZAFT was makin a mess of the place. ZAFT has no reason listen to her since she is part of ORB and probably should be arrested too. As said, if ORB stopped fighting, ZAFT gets a free pass to everything on the island. That's not ORB. ORB, as a principal, doesn't like people to step all over them. And Djibril was on ORB soil, so it's ORB's problem, not ZAFT's (i.e. Cagalli's order to spank Jona and Unato until they spill the beans on Djibril). ZAFT could have fired warning shots, created a blockade, blah blah blah, but no, they decided to barge through the front door. Cagalli was only working with the situation. And I saw nothing wrong with that. How I would love it if Athrun pulls an Obi-Wan on Ana...I mean Shinn.

As I said, politics. And I agree that the game should not have been re-rated based on disabled content. It's foolish and it's even worst that ma or pa buys this game for little 10-year old Timmy when it has a M rating slapped on the box. Question. Does the PC version of GTA:SA have a EULA? If there is, there should be a clause about modding/hacking/patching with unauthorized content.

I think we start getting legal at this point. It can be argued that because the content was disabled in the retail version, it was not part of the game and therefore, should not be taken into account of the ESRB's rating (it should go back to a M-rating. This only way to access this stuff was through a mod/hack/3rd party. It's not playable content and should not be taken into account. The otherside is, the content is on the freakin disc making it part of the game, per se. This does undermind the ESRB's system and does make Rockstar liable. Rockstar was suppose to say what was on the disc (I'm sure there is something in writing for this) and by omitting some things, you are underminding the ESRB's system. I'm sure this will be the argument and that it will get quite specific. Rockstar has been target of lots of stuff lately. This is just adding fuel to the fire. I'm more concerned with the hardware issues GTA:SA is having than a little pr0n. Politics.

Been there, done that, cursed the board. Aww, gundammit. I'm doing it now, too. Attention Invision! I HATE YOUR QUOTE PARSER! --^-. .-^-- Tell me about it. Seems like one broken quote command mucks all of them up in this new version of Invision. -Al But as near as I can tell, I didn't break a tag. I ran through multiple times and counted the pairs. I think it just has a limit to how many it can parse. I've had this problem on another Invision board. And I've been running out metric buttloads of quote tags for ages. 314176[/snapback] If you can boldface your way through a post, then you can use quotes.
