    Slightly OT, but why couldn't they have just done this for the MG Epyon: Bandai's video game division seems to remember how it looked on TV. This design is slightly tweaked, but it is SLIGHT.

    That alone's not enough. It'd have to be pretty much un-articulated as well. It's easy to light up a torso. Feet and hip armor are much harder.

    I love light-up stuff on Gundams. I just don't like 99% of the recent 00/SEED designs... Now if they can just figure out a way for a light up Unicron destroy mode...

    IMHO, time is more important than grade. Modern MG's blow away earlier MG's and even some PG's. There's HGUC's that would have been considered MG's a few years ago if they were an inch taller. Simply put--the newer the better, period.

    Just a bit of necromancy here, but Voyage of the Dawn Treader is out on DVD/Blu-Ray today. Yes, a Friday.

    Getting OT, but I made this pic myself. It's movie Starscream and Prime to scale, in vehicle mode.

    The first one has no FAST packs, it's just the bare valk. That's why the 2nd one costs so much more.

    Got my package from HLJ, a day earlier than FedEx said. (3 instead of 4) (FedEx was only 2 bucks more than SAL so it was a no-brainer)

    There's another thread discussing it at the SW:TOR forums. Seems fairly widespread.

    Anyone else get an email from EA in German about their account? I found this message but nothing else discussing it: http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/5549100.page#13186626 I too am guessing it may be related to the massive hack of Epsilon's email addresses. Which sucks, as the one I have associated with EA is my main one.

    Thought I just had: Say you have a $150 budget. Would it generally be better to get the newest "cheaper" card that isn't very high-end to start with and was $150 the day it came out, or to get an older card that was much more powerful in its day (possibly top of the line), but has now fallen down to $150 due to age.

    Few things are more "BS" than power requirement ratings on a graphics card. Quality over quantity. Many companies will say "it needs 700 watts" just to ensure that it actually gets 200 or something, as many "700 watt" power supplies are so cheap they can't really put out anywhere near that on a consistent basis---and so if you have a really cheap power supply, you may need one rated 700+ watts to power a card that actually only would suck up 200 watts at 100% usage and would usually idle at like 20... (then you get into amperage on a single rail, etc). Again, quality over quantity. A high-quality 500w unit is so much better than a cheap 800w unit. Go find some reviews that measure the ACTUAL power consumed by the card, and use that for your basis/calculations.

    While I am traditionally an Nvidia fan and have only ever had their stuff, lately I've been thinking ATI for when I upgrade.
  14. David Hingtgen
    I swear graphics card drivers are an often-overlooked source of crashes and freezes. ATI and Nvidia seem to update them so often I don't think they get tested that well. I've rolled back to an older driver many times after an update actually makes my PC worse.
  15. David Hingtgen
    Been like that since the beginning. It's all one mechanism.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Been like that since the first one in 1969. Though the front 1 or 2 are blanked by many airlines. It's an oft-missed fact that the pilots do not have the forward-most seats on a 747.
  17. David Hingtgen
    I just think this pic emphasizes the new 747's stretch:

    Gripens are going to Libya, first Swedish AF deployment in decades: They're doing the "stritly air-to-air NFZ enforcement" thing like the Dutch.

    Basara's shirt is too dark, should be more of a mint green.
  20. David Hingtgen
    Couldn't get in 30 secs ago. But I placed an order last night and my credit card was charged this morning.
  21. David Hingtgen
    About a zillion reports on bad hinges from the first batch. I'd wait a bit, personally.
  22. David Hingtgen
    As in, a new G1 Prime? That'd be a waste, unless they can make vehicle mode WAY better while keeping robot almost as good. An uber-awesome Movie Prime would be nice, though we've already got Buster Prime...
  23. David Hingtgen
    I said something like this months ago, I'll say it again: Chloe's most interesting when she's not herself, and having her permanently switch with someone would be an improvement/more useful to the crew.

    Doesn't indoctrination require a reaper itself? The citadel doesn't do it either.

    Madder red from Gunze? Definitely not IMHO. That's their "gundam scarlet red" paint. Too orange for Milia.
