    It's a Flanker thing--their engines are very hot, and thus you can't paint that area. The F-15 has a similar effect (more noticeable on the bottom), as does the F-8.

    WAY too Bayformers-ish.

    The new Camaro and Challenger are both coupes, yet weigh much more than my sedan...

    That's two bad reviews now I've seen here. How's the Leliana one? Pretty sure I'll skip the Morrigan one at this point.

    Makes perfect sense to me, especially regarding the actors. History: SDF:M comes out as a dramatic retelling of Space War 1, and is a big hit. They decide to make a movie version. They hire the same actors even, but up the budget to have better uniforms etc. And of course, they condense the story and "make it more exciting". Currently, I view EVERY series as a comedic drama or something. M7? That's the STORY of Basara, not a documentary. Note the excessive use of stock footage. It also easily explains Mylene's pink hair---they just hired a young cute actress, they didn't really care that her hair didn't match that of Max and Milia's ACTORS. (The real Milia could be ugly, actually---Max fell in love with her over her flying abilities, after all--but of course they'd hire an attractive actress to play her...)

    Nothing will beat TRU's "glitch" sale---not my pic, but a good example of what people were able to snag: $85 Full story: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=262595

    Ok, now I *really* think my monitor's dying. Any new monitors show up in the last month or so I should be aware of, or something amazing coming next month that I should wait for?

    My vote would be for avionics cooling. A less likely option would be afterburner coolers like the F-8.
  11. David Hingtgen
    Yup. What a very minimal change in the face of the very distinctive Camaro, and the very retro Challenger. The "new" Mustang is just more of the same.

    Just in case anyone cares: "HEROES---a "key source" connected with the series said NBC has decided not to pursue a tv movie which would wrap up the series. Earlier, NBC said it was interested in developing a wrap-up tv movie."

    I noticed there was no inverted flight---the planes always rolled to a max of exactly 90 degrees for a hard turn---that's usually a bad sign, and always reminds me of Starfox etc---left is TURN left, not ROLL left. Very, very bad for anything trying to be even 10% of a sim. Heck, I don't even think I saw the third dimension being used--there's left, right, and loop---that's it. (loop is probably a double-tap down or something, with double-tab up being immelmann---a yo-yo would be impossible) Sure, classic controls may be an option, but if the whole game is redesigned around this 2D flying, that causes issues.
  14. David Hingtgen
    Knowing movie posters, that's likely highly shopped.

    So, just how fast can you go in a Blackbird with the landing gear down?
  16. David Hingtgen
    Not quite, but close:

    That's a very complicated no-step pattern. See all the little red x's? Don't step there, or in the regions bordered by the red lines.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Graham---any news of Mylene's? Or even more importantly, a new YF-19?
  19. David Hingtgen
    But does the armor LOOK cool? (I don't like massive armor etc for most characters) Is it like, Leliana-specific?
  20. David Hingtgen
    Sligtly OT, but I've been considering getting the Leliana and Morrigan DLC, but I feel I've been spoiled by Shadowbroker. They are cheaper though.

    Nice PAK-FA pic: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Russia---Air/Sukhoi-T-50/1775641/L/

    Singularity always has been and will be the best biotic, but shockwave IMHO isn't really useful until maxed out--and that's expensive to do so.

    OT/unimportant, but I actually sat in a Camaro for more than 30 secs for the first time today. (Jewel red 2011 SS if anybody cares). Hated the interior. Couldn't believe it's a zeta platform, since I like the G8's interior *so* much more. Car is NOT designed for people 6ft+. The roof line to the side is at eye-level, I could only view downwards. Didn't like center console/gauge area at all. Main gauges very visible, lots of thigh/leg room under the steering wheel (which is often an issue, as tall people usually tilt the "butt" part of the seat down, which raises the thigh part). Didn't like the steering wheel itself, it's very "flat" in cross-section which felt kind of awkwards to grip---every other steering wheel ever is much more round. It's ok if you drive at like 11 and 1 or 7 and 5, but the whole center section is weird. Definitely not ever going to buy one. Maybe a Challenger... (still hoping for the Commodore SS-V to come over again, maybe as a 2013 Impala or something)

    A new trailer that KOTOR fans must watch: http://www.swtor.com/media/trailers/mysteries-knights-old-republic

    Ok, then I'll just have to live with it until enough people complain that the software's fixed. Have an ad/hosts question: a couple weeks ago, I added the MVPS listing to my hosts file, to block out ads etc. Well, frankly, theirs is TOO comprehensive. It's disabling a lot of videos and active content etc, in that "they won't play until the ad has played", and my hosts file has blocked EVERY ad from EVERYBODY now. (it also messes with the "back" button--both firefox and MSIE seem to try to 're-load ads' that were never there, and it won't actually navigate back until the 2nd or 3rd click) I've stripped out a lot, but it's still quite a nuisance. BUT--I don't want to delete my hosts file entirely, as many hundreds/thousands of sites are pure virus/porn/spam. Does anyone have a hosts file that is just "truly bad" sites to block? I'd use my old one, but the site I got it from is gone. All I keep finding are more "we block everything" lists.
