  1. I tried OpenDNS for a little while, until I realized it was causing my issues with Xbox Live.
  2. Yellow+purple is still a horrible combination with most shades.
  3. Well, if I had been able to pre-order one, I'd be cancelling it. I much preferred the green, but I *hate* the change in the yellow. Fokker/Jolly Rogers yellow isn't "yellow". It's orange-yellow. That was even its official name years ago. (nowadays it's "insignia yellow" but it used to be called "orange-yellow") That's an issue Bandai has always had, but Yamato usually got right---using a rich orange-yellow for Fokker's colors.
  4. Or instead of pure blackest black, why not a navy blue, as is the traditional US police uniform in many(all?) US cities.

    DX VF-25G

    They painted that section on Ozma's instead of molding it in the appropriate shade of grey IIRC, so I don't think the mold's set up the way it needs to be to allow for the glove being a different color for the wing. It really seems like the mold is designed for Alto's scheme. Everything else uses LOTS of paint. Whereas the 1/72 kit is split up so you can get like 80-90% color accuracy with no paint.
  6. Ordered the ASUS N56U, Newegg had a 20 buck off coupon for it today, so that made it *much* cheaper than the 66.
  7. Up again, just got mine. Go now! http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=15546036&sku=13931381
  8. Well, when all you have are 500 BB's, and everyone in town already has one, sales go down...
  9. At this point, I'm just waiting for the -19F to go on sale... (I currently own no -19's of any kind despite it being my fave valk, and it may be a long time before a v3 YF-19 comes out)
  10. Useful shot for size comparison:
  11. Am I nuts, or do Russians apparently not attempt to brake when there's an impending collision?
  12. That's the J-21, their F-22 rip-off. Previously seen was the much-cooler and bigger J-20.
  13. OK, router time. Mainly interested in compatability/reliability over raw speed/range. That said, this is everything that may be hooked up to it in the foreseeable future: ipad iphone X360 PS3 Any suggestions? I have seen a few reports than Netgear's uber-popular N900 routers don't like iphones. I am strongly considering true dual-band due to the latest iphones being 5ghz capable. Also--do external antennas matter? Some routers don't seem to have them, but if they make even a 5% difference, I'm all for having them.
  14. Best VF-11B scheme out there is the Ravens: http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossga/variant-vf-11b-vfx2-yellow.htm I keep wishing Yamato would make it.
  15. In case anyone else is seeing red X's:
  16. J-21: The J-20 looks cooler, and at least isn't a 100% pure copy of something else. It's so close, I wonder if it has problems with the pilot's oxygen system...
  17. Didn't that appear in Robocop 2, and not the original?
  18. Nah, you'll get more hilarious droids™ in Clone Wars and like it.
  19. Hmmn. Wouldn't work QUITE as well on a VF-1 I think, having no tailplanes.
  20. I clicked just so I could see a limited-release valk that actually had "add to cart" there.
  21. No, it just seems that for once a show-character got their toy ahead of their debut. I hear he's a pirate, or something like that.
  22. Really, shouldn't Grace be Akiko?
  23. That was always my issue with it----which also leads to the "half-raised/pivoted" chest section to lift the arms up over the wings. It just never looked that good even when Kawamori drew it, and it works even less well in an actual figure.
