  1. US Navy helo pork delivery:
  2. The new pics of MP Arcee leaves me hopeful that it's going to be a good one. Serving as a foil for all this is remembering the stories of the fragility of MP Hound.
  3. I like how the SoR3 characters kept their special moves with certain weapons. I also like their special move risk/reward dynamic where you get your health back from using specials, as long as you don't get smacked.
  4. One of the great architects of Rock n Roll.
  5. It's a great beat 'em up, definitely a worthy successor to the name. SoR2 Axel is a beast. Rumor has it the Mass Effect trilogy will be getting a HD remaster. I'd be down for it, but I can only wonder if EA would do more than just make it look shinier.
  6. The kind of thing LEGO doesn't want kids to build: That being said, I totally want one!
  7. Onto something far more retro. This lady sings a great cover of a collaboration between David Foster and the great Gordon Lightfoot:
  8. CHVRCHES is back with a new single:
  9. I'm not usually a fan of mashups or dubstep (even the melodic kind), but this one is great:
  10. From a bonifide member of the Mio Akiyama fan club: I prefer this one with just Mio on vocals.
  11. Something in line with Black Valkyrie's suggestion: If Streets of Rage 4 had an option for a custom soundtrack, I'd definitely put this one on.
  12. I can almost see the Taco Bell promotions now.
  13. Yeah, he still has unsavory attitude towards the F-16. Well, per this website: Lt. Col. Pat "Gums" McAdoo, USAF Ret., one of the first F-16 pilots at Hill AFB, recalls the origin of the name "F-16 Viper": Even when F-16 Fighting Falcon became the official name, Viper stuck around and became the unofficial nickname for the F-16. The name "Viper" is even officially used for the Joe Bill Dreyden "Semper Viper" award, which is awarded for excellent airmanship by F-16 pilots.
  14. My USAF mechanic buddy just called them lawn darts.
  15. Well shoot, that tells you how long I've been out of the TF loop. Time for some window shopping.
  16. I'm holding off on this MP, but I'd be all-in for a Sunstreaker in police colors.
  17. Taking a closer look, I think it's the Max Factory Max Gokin Big O.
  18. This was a pleasant surprise. The WANDER ARTS figure line is back on track. Grille Sechs in Centipede color scheme and in urban camo (Front Mission 3): Kyojun in Glen's Special and urban camo schemes (Front Mission 5): Frost in red Hell's Wall and urban camo (Front Mission 1): I had thought this line was dead after HLJ cancelled my preorders. HLJ and even AmiAmi went on to say that after the first figure with its two variants was released, the rest of the line was cancelled by Square Enix.
  19. Whaaat? So we can't have a cross dressing rabbit that shoots audience members for coughing at his piano recital anymore? Lame.
  20. Some interesting insight into the redesigning of Blaze and Adam for Streets of Rage 4. I'm kinda irked about Axel looking like a hobo that likes grunge, but I'm still gonna play the hell out of this game.
  21. The Big O. Kinda like a mix of Batman and Giant Robo.
  22. This guy just took Gunpla to new level.
  23. After quite a bit of searching, I found the rest of the gang: Was it worth the wait? Yes. A resizing of an already beefy design on Defensor sounded sublime, especially after missing out on the original Maketoys release. It's also very stable in a low stance: Major joints like the shoulders, hips, and knees have solid ratchets on them. However, the elbow joints cannot support the massive gun with a bent arm, it's just too heavy. Just a couple of complaints come to mind. Yes Model was all too faithful in resizing Guardia; they didn't even bother to give Katana rolling rear wheels, just molded-in tires. Yes Model could have also made an improvement by finding a way for the gestalt's head to actually face different directions. The head is on a ball joint, but is caged to face forward by the ladder base assembly. And then there's the presence of fake screws scribed into Vulcan's hip joints. I reckon the original Guardia had real screws there, but Yes Model decided to leave them out to save costs. But why scribe the look of having screws there? Why not just smooth the surface out? It just seems odd. So yeah, not a lot of complaints from me. It's a great IDW-esque combiner made out of four Deluxe-sized limbs and a Voyager class torso. Anyhoo, I'm glad Yes Model went all the way through to complete the team-I had strong doubts about that. I highly recommend their KO.
  24. Yes-Model's oversize KO of Maketoys' Vulcan finally arrived for me this week: I wish I could at least provide a pic of its fully combined mode, but the limb bots are at another location. Regardless, it looks good and feels solid so far. The printed instructions are absolute crap, so thank goodness there are transformation videos already out there. I'll post a few pics once I go home and grab the other not-Protectobots.
  25. I only have one That mix works quite well! I have only one set of the Aoshima Dropship/APC combo-I regret not buying more. I can't believe it was 15 years ago, but I did a mini review of of that Airwolf.
