  1. There was a guy on NPR today talking about the science of Avatar (yes, NPR has fluff segments) anyways, he was saying that the idea is that Pandora does have enough oxygen but that there's just so much other crap in the air that's harmful to humans. That's why they don't run around in full scuba type gear but just glorified gas masks.
  2. Neptunekittie should be RT.com's official spokesperson Hard to argue with such a well reasoned and intelligent discourse on the matter of Macross versus Robotech.
  3. I consider having to check to see if they're doing their job as them being incompetent. I wouldn't mind as much if they gave me a discount or free shipping or something but when I have to send them numerous emails each time whilst waiting over a week each time to get it resolved, I, like Roxie and Velma Kelly, just move on.
  4. yeah. I don't shop with OD anymore. They f u c ked up two orders where they charged me but didn't create an open order for me and both times I was the one who caught it. Just not worth the hassle.
  5. I don't have a picture of it busted but I wouldn't do this just for kicks
  6. Check anyways because I was actually in the middle of a conversation with OD, having sent at least 3 emails back and forth when they suddenly started going to spam
  7. if any of you are using a yahoo account to mail OD, check your spam filter box. Yahoo seems to think they're spammers
  8. Actually that the Nav'i are technologically stuck mirrors human development. There's an idea that says that the more access a particular people have to natural resources and the more hospitable the environment is (up to a certain point), the less likely they are to develop more advanced industry. If you look at the resource rich areas of the world, mainly the equatorial tropics, you'll see that human culture stalled out roughly around bronze age. Compared to their cousins in more northern climates like Europe or East Asia, there's a distinct lack of progress across the board, textiles, agriculture, pottery, metal working, etc. The nav'i appear to have no need for technology outside of what they already have and thus having no outside pressure to promote it, they didn't.
  9. btw. the boat sinks. sorry if I ruined the movie for anyone.
  10. woohoo, vf-22 milia in the mail.
  11. definitely, I think the "knurled" pin is less forgiving than the smooth pin.
  12. hahha. woops. "knurl"
  13. I transform the ones I own, except for the VE-1 cuz the fast packs make it a pain in the @ss to do so and they get posed, only my 1s roy has cracked and in only the one shoulder. I don't think the gnurled pin automatically means the hinge will break.
  14. nevermind, checked more carefully
  15. That's the joy of attack of the show, it's really terrible.
  16. http://www.hulu.com/watch/118466/attack-of...full-hd-trailer
  17. yup, I happen to run a recycling program for junk valkyries though, send them to me!
  18. I would but my VT-1 has smooth pins.
  19. meh, I just broke it off and replaced the offending area with metal. no fuss, no worries.
  20. That too... man this reminds me what a giant cock up the vf-0 line was in general.
  21. Yeah, the Ron and David issued a statement saying it was their decision to end the show with Season 4, saying something like the show and the characters were headed in that direction because of all the stuff that happened and the choices they made and sci-fi channel supported their decision.
  22. you're welcome. Also, vader is Luke's father, Tyler Durden is the narrator, the dog dies at the end of Marley and Me, the unnamed father in part 3 of Les Miserables is actually Jean Valjean, Rosebud is a sled, Dalton is hiding inside the bank the whole time, Bruce Willis' character in 6th Sense is actually dead, the village is actually just in a park in modern times, Bruce Wayne is Batman, Peter Parker is Spider-man and wolverine's claws are actually made of bone and he's not really a mutant but part of some parallel evolution of humans.
  23. any plot to restart the rotation of the Earth's core using said bombs.
  24. I thought that statement was hilarious as well, considering the hero abandons his human body in favor of his Avatar...
  25. ah. It's 4 am, my sarcasm chip turns off at 3am. good point...
