    I bought a Component cable for my PS2, so that'll take care of my PS/PS2 collection for a while. Not sure about SNES... (of course, all the good games have save batteries--I haven't played Super Metroid or Super Mario World in years, I wonder if my saves are still there...)

    The F-22 and Super Flanker are among the largest fighter jets ever---and they're debatably the most agile ever.

    It, and a billion variations, many times over.

    I tried the demo like 3 times, but just couldn't get into it. I think I'd like the story a lot--I just don't like the game.

    I have 4 of 5 stars. So someone's voting somehow...

    Saw a Blurr once at Target, maybe 2 weeks ago.

    They put all their science-tech-speak into trying to explain song energy/spiritia....

    Hey, that's far too similar to other forums' methods to be it! That's logical and makes sense! (I was just repeating what I heard earlier, honestly)

    Yup, it definitely has slab fins: http://alert5.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/PLA-J-20132.jpg (cut and paste link) Interesting--the formation strip lighting. It's incredibly "American".

    If you go to your profile, in the same line as where it says "profile" way to the right are some stars next to "User Rating". They're clickable. People who view your profile can "vote". The ratings are based on that. And possibly post counts. It's never been fully explained, I don't think it's really documented in the forum's software. Generally we just ignore it--it's apparently easier than disabling it.

    Spoiler? Cut scene that was supposed to have run after the credits:
  12. David Hingtgen
    No one considers that could be Grace?

    There is no way the final product will have a paint job that nice. It'd be awesome if it did, but I think the odds are about 100:1...

    Yup. I never change my own oil--time, mess, cleanup, etc. And like I really want to carry a big container of dirty oil around town in my clean carpeted trunk--THAT is the number one reason I won't do it--I don't trust it to not leak, and even without the oil it's still dirty just from sitting on the garage floor, etc. It's also one procedure I assume even a tech unfamiliar with my car can do without breaking anything.

    Wait wait---she has the blue one? *Scarlett*? With the red outfit? Has the blue one? I'm all messed up now...

    If Yamato makes a V3 YF-19, I may get hers instead of Isamu's---I have a hard time buying the same valk THREE times. Anyways---hmmn, the ACTIVE's thrust reverser seems "incomplete" to me (it has a cascade array etc, but no real blocker system that I can see)--and based on the drawing and underside views etc, it almost looks like it only exhausts to the underside--that is a horrible design flaw if it does, it's self-defeating. (that would cause the back end to effectively lift up when landing on a runway, taking weight/effectiveness off the brakes---making it take longer to decelerate--which defeats the point of reversing in the first place---many an airliner has been stymied by this problem)
  17. David Hingtgen
    Yup---my guess is they're just animating the scene in the series when Leon's guys try to assassinate her a bit differently--having her actually get shot this time around. Or, it's a substitute for the "getting ripped apart on Gallia IV" scene. Because either way we need an excuse for her to show up in her 2nd, all-new body. Her "unconscious new body being built on a table" is a fairly iconic image for the series. She frankly needs to be killed in a "messy" way at some point to justify "downloading" into a new one.

    Unlike Overtechnology? "Overtech engines, Overtech shields, Overtech food dehydrators..."
  19. David Hingtgen
    That's a minor issue! Plus, the whole "Milia 639" implies there's at least 638 identical clones of her out there somewhere.
  20. David Hingtgen
    I keep thinking it could be a Milia Me 262. (I've seriously considered doing an F-14 in her colors--if Shin could have one, so can she!)
  21. David Hingtgen
    Well, the fact that "no one really knows" I think excuses it from being in the noob question thread. It's not an "FAQ" type issue that half of the members here know off the top of their head like most stuff in that thread. But the non-descriptive thread title is certainly an issue. Fixed.
  22. David Hingtgen
    It is now...
  23. David Hingtgen
    That sounds like a target-type thrust reverser. (737-200, DC-9, MD-80, Fokkers) The Tornado is the only fighter I know of with that style--but again, it really needs that type of nozzle to start with, which is not like any valk or "iris-petal" style of nozzle. (that nozzle design is part of the reason the Tornado isn't very fast at high altitude--it's fine for airliners, but far from optimal for high-alt high-mach flight) PS to everybody--yes, thrust reversers are a special interest for me.
  24. David Hingtgen
    A thrust reverser? Interesting, they're quite rare on fighter jets. Curious as to how it'd work, as it says in the nozzles themselves, for which there's no real-world equivalent assuming either VF-19/25 style of nozzle or F-14/15/16/18 style nozzle.
  25. David Hingtgen
    Which is half the reason botox kills acting ability...
