    If you watched the series, it's hard to miss.

    Ooooh. Personally I like the "re-imagined" markings of the seekers, rather than the slavisly-G1-esque ones. Lately Hasbro seems to be going for "pure G1"--first Dirge, now TC. I often feel I'm one of the few who likes classic Skywarp's scheme. (Ramjet was just wrong though, where's the silver and teal stripes on the wings? He should NOT have gold striping anywhere)

    USAF tanker news: "the Senate Armed Services Committee would hold hearings next month to “review the propriety of the procurement process.” What, were you expecting actual construction of planes or something? By the time they're in service (whether Boeing or Airbus) we won't NEED new tankers because our thermonuclear VF-19s have nigh-unlimited range in the atmosphere...

    How to survive a zombie holiday: Yes, this is the Caprica thread. I needed to post this somewhere, and this is surprisingly appropriate. (it was either here or the Walking Dead thread)

    First actual launch of a Super Hornet using electromagnetic catapult: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euLsg_viWW0 2 mins in for the launch itself.

    I can't help but think the Bandai thought process went along the lines of "Please Mr Kawamori, we need an excuse to re-do the VF-25 toy withOUT admitting we did a bad job---so could you make a new valk for the movie, but like the VF-25 so we can re-use some parts, but still a little different--especially the legs/nacelles, where we really screwed up?" And thus, the YF-29, Bandai's canon excuse to re-do the VF-25, yet not re-do the VF-25...

    Kind of going for a Valkyria Chronicles look...
  8. David Hingtgen
    I believe I heard that for ME1, too. None of those DLC's added anything...

    Yup. Amazon had "found a cache" or something, and I got the gunmetal version w/MGS4 for less than the standard PS3 cost at the time. (and 60GB early ones were going for like 500-600 then, I think that was their peak).
  10. David Hingtgen
    Mine's gunmetal.

    Only 10 more eps? At that rate, Chloe will still only be like 10% transformed. "Yeah, sorry, we wasted her entire character for a season just to show/do nothing..."
  12. David Hingtgen
    Oh yeah---that is one amazingly persistent/gutsy security guard Encom has.
  13. David Hingtgen
    Did we somehow all miss this? http://www.masseffectsaves.com/MESS/ME2ColoringBook.pdf So many references/in-jokes.

    PS---if you ever buy one, the cannon fodder SV-51 is the SV-51α.
  15. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, I wondered about that too. Digital fire, glowing drinks--yet real pig?

    Saw in 2D. Good, not great. I think part of the problem is that there's just no way to "wow" people now with a digital world. The Matrix already explored a similar aspect, and half of all SciFi movies have a "cyberspace" scene inside the computer etc. As a big fan of Reboot, I was of course drawing constant parallels---users, games, programs. Anyways--I didn't like Zeus at all. Seemed very out of place, and a waste of 20 mins IMHO. Finally---Kevin Flynn's dialogue is supposed to be lame/old/hippie. He's stuck in the 80's, and he was still stuck in the 70's back then... I personally liked it. Or, just imagine he's channeling "The Dude". PS---no after-credit sequence. The obvious one they could have done, I think is going to be expanded into "TR3N" or something. On a related note, where's my figure? The lack of that in the movie itself too, is a disappointment.

    A nit-pick, but it's SV-51γ, not SV-51Y. (as in, gamma)

    If you want a really good Rafale, you need 1/48. http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/rm/kit_rg_4517.shtml Hmmn, the one electric indigo posted might be the Hobby Boss kit. That's actually an overall better kit, but it's really more like 1/80 scale.

    Space shuttle wallpaper. Big enough to cut/trim/resize to any size you may need. http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/sts-132/hires/iss023e044629.jpg (a 90-degree rotation helps a lot) And--nobody's ever gone sledding in this fun of a manner:
  20. David Hingtgen
    I would imagine it's almost certainly this kit: http://modelingmadness.com/scotts/mod/italeri/036preview.htm

    If they're cheap, I buy figures just for parts. Revoltech/Figmas are usually too expensive to do so though--every fig I want for parts, is fairly desirable to other people inherently. (I would love to have most anything from a Bunny Haruhi) (also, there's like 4 different scales for Revoltech, so a lot of times swapping won't work).

    The F/A.2's radar is newer than the APG-65, the newer version of it is the Typhoon's radar. Also, I feel the Sea Harrier is an inherently more agile version of the airframe. When it was first installed, the F/A.2's radar would have been one of the best AMRAAM-capable radars out there IIRC, surpassing most F-15/16/18's in service then. The Sea Harrier (all versions) has A2A as a primary role, Harrier II's do not.
  23. David Hingtgen
    2 new members with this thread as their first post. That's not suspicious at all...
  24. David Hingtgen
    Best A2A Harrier was the F/A.2 version of the Sea Harrier. For the Marines, I'd definitely go with the F/A-18D.

    Basically. I remember looking at the Neo-Geo box many times at Software Etc and Babbage's.
