  1. Update: Dreamworks has fixed the problem and is offering a replacement disc for anybody who got the "CC-only" disc. http://recp.rm05.net/servlet/SignUpForm?f=2318 So I'd assume that they will pull the "faulty" ones from the shelves, but just in case make sure you see the "v4" on the spine before you buy.
  2. Pat Payne wins! Fatality!
  3. I'm glad somebody got it.
  4. Or the....*snicker*....Canadian Access.....*chortle*...To Firearms. Bwa-hah-hah-hah-hah-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa No, seriously. JsARC's idea is pretty good.
  5. Scientists have also released this new photo of a cancer cell. thanks to EXO for the assist on this one.
  6. That's just a symptom.
  7. Holy crap! Somebody likes something that you personally don't like? Somebody call CNN!
  8. Lt. action Jackson, I hereby promote you to Captain Obvious.
  9. Did I hear the words "Macross Propaganda?"
  10. I'd rather see Brooks remain in semi-retirement. If he had actually produced a funny movie in the last decade I could work up some enthusiasm for this, but the sad fact is that his last several films have been....well, er...crap.
  11. No, that prize gets awarded to Box from Logan's Run.
  12. Maybe THESE guys can help you.
  13. I refuse to give any credence to an awards show that has categories such as "Mad Real SUV."
  14. And the bottle of natural oil? Oh, and a mini statue of that little girl who was looking for her dog Locky?
  15. Huey, Dewey and Louie? Jeeze....there's probably more reference material for even The Black Hole than there is for Silent Running. But if you can pull it off, you'll certainly have something unique.
  16. So I take it you're not planning on selling any in Canada then?
  17. Whaaaaa? I haven't been following this thread too closely. Has this been discussed somewhere? Links?
  18. Nice, although I don't know why they featured Amuro so prominently on the poster. It's as if he's shouting "I'm barely in this film!!"
  19. So to sum up... VF-0....MIA 1/60 Monster....MIA YF-19FP....MIA Macross Zero Mook....KIA wow. Sucks to be us right now.
  20. You guys should consider doing a Landmate for your next project. Preferably the early one from Appleseed Books 1 & 2.
  21. No problem, Cap. Just go easy on the "single action wheelgun" cracks. My user name is 1851 Navy over there, and that's not the way to go about getting any support from me.
  22. Awesome custom, Phyrox! It's new, yet it looks credible enough to be one a "what if" design. It almost makes me want to try my own Crimson Skies/Luft '46 design.
  23. Cap, If you're looking for investment capital that's really out of my field. However, for anything regarding firearms in our fair land I suggest you swing by the Canadian Gun Nutz forums. There are a few small manufacturers around, believe it or not, so hopefully somebody there can point you in the right direction.
  24. From a technical standpoint, the G11 will be one of those "could have been" designs. It was the pretty groundbreaking in many areas and it must have been absolutely heartbreaking for the engineers when it was shelved after ~25 years of R&D, on the eve of entering mass production no less. However there were some issues that I think would have come up in real world use that would have needed to be addressed. The 4.7mm ammunition would have likely had worse wounding characteristics than the current 5.56 fired from a shorty M4. The three 45 round mags in the gun would have come in handy in a quick firefight, but in sustained fire it would have been a real PITA to reload those things from the 15 round "cartridges" that soldiers were to be issued. Finally I've read conflicting reports as to how well the G11 actually stood up to use. Some say that the caseless ammo burned extremely cleanly and caused little fouling, others claim that it gummed up the gun worse than any M16 and suffered from significant throat erosion. Dynamit Nobel claimed that the caseless ammo was waterproof while others claim it was very sensitive. Interesting fact: Apparently when the G11 ws finally dropped, H&K Germany had to destroy most if not all of its preproduction samples. Some of the few remaining G11s are supposedly in Canada, after their use in NATO trials 10 years ago.
