I don't know that any of us (except for Jenius and Drifand) shoot with a photo studio... lol.

good to see you back in form!

my homage to MI:2... and some more pics

the motoslave by itself is okay though I think the the rear wheel/leg lock thing is kinda weak. It's when you do the combined mode that the posing gets tough trying to keep the hardsuit and the motoslave legs together the way they should be.

hah, That's a great pose and nice use of the stand! I broke down and ordered the armored ozma too... the armor hides most everything I didn't like about the sculpt. lol. but for now I'm really enjoying the beagle ride armor

I agree with you, I thought it was pretty obviously a joke. -
yeah, i agree, they're worth the money. they're pretty remarkable toys. Some smart use of metal as well on important hinges, joints and structures and nice and beefy metal, not all thin and cheap like some other companies do or loaded up in odd areas. could have used some paint on the engine block and a better locking system on the front of the bike in both bike and armor mode.. putting the screw for the neck on the side was kinda bonehead too. I'm sad to see this line go, it really deserves to be more successful.

Thanks... it's a mixed bag in terms of posability but it's just so phenomenally engineered!

I've only seen one review and it was glowing. I want to know if they finally re-did the transfer to the mini series, both the DVD and HD-DVD releases of that were horrible, the simulated "grain" looking more like static. -
here's what the developer said; http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/17/ghostbus...loper-explains/ So I think you got taken in by the Terminal Reality hype machine... that is, they talk a good game but couldn't deliver and instead of owning up to the fact that they suck for developing on the PS3 they blamed it on the 360... even though pretty much every other current crossplatform game looks identical and games like uncharted 2 and gears of war 2 show that each system is capable of delivering similar "wow" graphics.

Movies that were better than the book
eugimon replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I liked Ayn Rand back in high school and read fountainhead and atlas shrugged... then I read "anthem" and was pissed to learn I could have just read anthem and saved myself some 3000 pages of angry ranting. lol -
I dunno where or when I read it but it was after the game had shipped or had gone gold and they had a bunch of screen shots illustrating where they had to use lower res textures on the PS3. The article made it pretty clear that it was due to the way the PS3 handled memory that was the culprit.

I'm getting the blu-ray boxset, got it from Amazon because I had around 180 dollars worth of credit with them... -
I agree that season 8 sucked. I think the ori storyline would have been better if they had tied it up and if the conclusion wasn't so silly. I think maybe the movie really colored how I view the storyline as a whole... I doubt it, simply put, there's lots of stargates... the stargates were put up not by those glowy eyed aliens from the movie but by an older more powerful race called the Protocul... err... Progenit... uhm... "Ancients", who have since left our plane of reality and now exist as the Q Contin... uhm as powerful energy types who don't meddle in the affairs of mortals. The stargate program on Earth didn't end and now there are SG teams all over the place, leading revolts, awakening evil alien bad guys from the past, etc etc. I'm sure they'll spend the first couple of episodes doing recaps as to not alienate new viewers.

It's definitely more of a "display piece" than a toy... even more than yamato's valkyries. But the engineering and craftsmanship is really great. It's not a knock on it at all, it's an amazing translation of a design that relies heavily on anime magic. edit:: I just spent 30 mins fiddling with the BG motoslave... so nevermind, the Beagle is fracking masterpiece and it's stable as a rock. class picture!

I finally got my "scott bernard' MP Cyclone... yes, I got the toynami version. Number 321... that's gotta be a bad sign. It's cool. Kinda fidgety though but it's amazing piece of engineering.
-
You know, for a while I thought SG1 was better but the last two seasons of SG1 really sucked. I liked the cast changes, it was that Ori storyline that just dragged and the movie conclusion was so fascist... so the answer is to make them see the "truth"? I did like the last SG1 movie though and if they keep making movies like that I'll be a happy camper.

eugimon replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
wait wait wait... I never said the Narnia books, or ayn rand or heinlein books were bad *because* they were ideological, I said *if* the reader is antagonistic towards those beliefs *then* the reader may have a hard time getting past it... because for those authors their ideas were either as important or more important than the story they were trying to tell. There's lots of people who are so against those ideas where they'll just reject the work out of hand, I'm not saying that authors should try to write ideologically free fiction. Far from it, I think one of the great things about fiction and especially sci-fi and fantasy is that it allows writers and readers to explore complex, moral, ethical, religious and philisophical themes divorced from real world entanglements.
