    Those bastards. Here's an exciting new feature you can give us: PS2 emulation, which, clearly, the PS3 CAN do, so that we don't have to pay again for games we already own and want to play!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

    O/T, but when were you here in France, David?

    Just realized I'll have to fiddle with the ARMD launch arm design in order to make it fit a Stampeed...

    Just tried the Ace Combat demo. Extremely... disappointed. Voice acting... is... terrible. DFM is lame and gimmicky. Helicopter mode... so weak. Sad to see the decline of a legacy.

    What Anime52k8 said.
  6. the white drew carey
    Yeah, I just think it is silly.

    Huh? The law should be written so that kind of obvious money-grubbing is highly punished. SLM had all of the time in the world to bring attention to this but, of course, waited until after the film is released. I call shenanigans!

    Nice site. I like what you have done. However, I am nothing if not critical: I would definitely go back and edit your existing descriptions, both for spelling and grammar. Also, I like the color scheme, but the show titles are very hard to read. Keep up the good work, and keep the obscure anime coming (I never thought I'd hear of Justy again)!

    Good point on his track record for sci-fi, although I'd still have to disagree with you on Kingdom of Heaven, even the Director's Cut. I am a medievalist who particularly studies the Crusades, and even then I went into it not expecting anything faithful to history (a la Gladiator) and, even then, I was disappointed. We'll see how Prometheus pans out but, to be honest, It looks to be the same slow boiler as Alien, and I can't think of how he can improve on the formula. Alien is one of THE BEST horror films ever, even though it is a sci-fi.

    I'm going to hold onto my reservations about this. While Ridley Scott has made some of the best films ever (Alien, Blade Runner, Black Hawk Down), he has also been involved in a bunch of clunkers (1492: Conquest of Paradise, Kingdom of Heaven, A Good Year). Heck even Robin Hood was on track to being awesome until he came in and basically rewrote the story into a typical Robin Hood remake (with Higgins Boats, for some reason) and screwed it all up. I think that this announcement coming on the heels of his re-visitation to the Alien franchise with Prometheus is a bad sign.

    Is is bad that, every time I see the title for this movie, I get the Duck Tales song stuck in my head, except the chorus goes "Red Tails! Ah-wooo-ooo"?

    Yeah, it's a great ship to visit. We went to the Garden State Craft Brewers Beer Festival three years in a row. The price of admission gets you the walking tour of the ship (saw something new every time) and at the end of the tour, a beer festival on the helipad. We "got lost" from the tour's path a couple of times. Once we got caught but I started talking with the guy and he realized I wasn't just screwing around and was truly interested in the ship, so he took us on an indirect route to get back to the tour path. Didn't see anything awe-inspiring except for a peek into the grandeur of the ship itself.

    Actually, I would recommend jumping into ADWD right away. ADWD and AFFC are concurrent for most of what happens, and then ADWD keeps going about 2/3 of the way through with the AFFC storyline joining in. It will probably be better with AFFC fresh in your mind. You can watch the whole first series when you are done with the first book.

    Awesome. Feel free to chat us up anytime. We love talking about this. Be sure to use spoiler tags, though.
  15. the white drew carey
    Yeah, there'll be a point where it will either have to be CGI or camera trickery for the direwolves. I also hope they play up the wolves' importance, because they seemed to be a bit marginalized in season 1.

    For those who didn't know, BlueBolt, the visual effects house for the first season of GoT, has posted a short video showcasing what their work. It is a neat little video, but can be kind of spoilerish... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkptadiDABo&feature=player_embedded Regretfully for BlueBolt (but maybe good for us) is that their services have not been retained for season 2, as it was determined that they were too small to handle the visual effects load needed. Let us hope this includes some large-scale army action (Massive can easily put together a nice aerial view), as a common complaint about season 1 was the description of large armies on the move or at battle, and yet all we see is a line of about 40 Dothraki horsemen... Secondly, I just finished A Dance with Dragons last night (unrelenting spoilers below):

    Yeah, I think that is a pretty weak interpretation of the Megaroad. It could be done a whole lot better.
  18. the white drew carey
    I wouldn't mind seeing something about the Purple Heart Battalion. Maybe a mini-series like Band of Brothers... but not The Pacific. That was weak.
  19. the white drew carey
    I'll see it. Plus, maybe this will inspire someone who had no friggin' clue about the Tuskegee Airmen to look into more.
  20. the white drew carey
    In the first explosion video- was that newlyweds getting their photo taken in front of the tumbler?!?
  21. the white drew carey
    Looks like a nice kit. I've always enjoyed the mecha design, if not the game (not a fan of side-scrolling shooters). Keep us updated on the build, yo.
  22. the white drew carey
    It hurt me to make this almost as much as it will hurt you to look at it.
  23. the white drew carey
    But then why call it "Akira"? Just call it "Fred" or something and be on their way.
  24. the white drew carey
    I linked to the trailer on FB with the note: This movie is either going to be stupid and suck, or stupid and awesome. I am hoping it is the latter. It looks like too much campy fun not to be good!
  25. the white drew carey
    Actually, that would be pretty interesting to see.
