The Xbox 360 Thread Elite Edition

so there are at least three unique endings. -
I swear David, no one even knows what an anhedral is. could you just drop it already? You wave around your expansive and encyclopedic knowledge of aircraft like a fraking flag and it's getting annoying. Ah, this is fun.

God, are you mentally deficient? It's the same shade of blue as in the anime! Or can't you properly adjust your TV?
-
I could call somebody mentally deficient if it would make you feel better.

go back a few pages, we had a good row about the feet sticking out and the merit of removable limbs. Don't worry, this is still the macrossworld you know and love.

Battlestar Galactica Discussion
eugimon replied to HoveringCheesecake's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
finally got around to watching the DVD, I didn't watch the tv version so i don't know what was missing... it was pretty good. It was nice seeing everyone before new caprica broke them. I'm really curious to see what the hybrid meant, was he just screwing with the XO> I kept expecting the last shot would be her waking up in one of those vats as a cylon. -
About Millia 639 (Miria) in Macross 7
eugimon replied to Isamu test pilot's topic in Movies and TV Series
Maybe upset was too strong a word. Except for with one guy... he's a little uptight about how japanese should be spoken. More amused, sorta scornfull. It's all around really. I've heard native korean/japanese in their respective countries get upset/ridicule accents. And I also have asian-american, both born overseas and born in america that care about stuff like that as well. Equally both koreans and japanese. oddly, when they can't understand the language they don't care as much. That is, my japanese friends don't care when a vietnamese actor shouts really bad korean and my korean friends don't care when they hear japanese butchered. Similarly, neither cared too much when they watched crouching tiger and had mandarin butchered. My friends from HK and Taiwan didn't care either, but the ones who actually spoke mandarin cared. All the american-asian ones care when someone makes fun of their english accent though, their common retort, "well let's hear YOUR <insert language>!" All of us who studied german cringe when we watch Evangelion and hear the butchered german. I don't have a point... only, the earliest form of humor that people respond to is when something is that should not be. So when you're familiar with something and you see it/hear it done incorrectly, amusement isn't that un-natural of a reaction. I guess, if you know what a certain language is supposed to sound like or if you've heard a word pronounced correctly and you hear it spoken incorrectly, humor, scorn, derision, these are pretty natural tendencies. BTW, none of these people would mock or laugh at an actual person attempting their language. This sort of reaction is 100% reserved for the annonymous via movies/television/radio. A few of them work in the "industry" as well, so some of it has to do with, "Why can't they hire a japanese actress to play and a japanese character?" -
High Definition Media & Technology Thread
eugimon replied to JsARCLIGHT's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
it should be noted that it was an HD-DVD title that won the best audio award at the high-def disc awards: http://www.homemediamagazine.com/news/html...rticle_id=11663 And I gotta agree with JsARCLIGHT, it doesn't matter which format is superior if the dual format war continues. While shops like disney that ONLY do blu-ray may go all out to make a superior blu-ray disc, companies like warner who release on both formats aren't going to master 2 seperate and unique versions, they'll make one and slap some extras on as appropriate. -
nope, because he could heal and every version of the future had peter alive in it, even the ones where peter was the exploding man. Besides, it was pretty clear from radioactive man that the energy discharge does no damage to himself. So why would he suddenly die just because nathan and him went flying?.

he also thinks the current HD war is all because of the evil manipulations of microsoft so that they can proceed with a secret digital download agenda. -
hopefully ryu is only an indication of the new "juicer" models for the men... otherwise, we may get a chun-li that looks like chyna...

About Millia 639 (Miria) in Macross 7
eugimon replied to Isamu test pilot's topic in Movies and TV Series
Apples to oranges man. The name eureka was chosen by the japanese and then mangled. The Japanese chose karaoke, Toyota, Mazda, Sony, etc for americans to mangle. Kidding aside, I have noticed a big double standard when it comes to these things. When that crap-fest "Rising Sun" came out and Connery butchered Japanese, all of my Japanese speaking friends were furious. Similarly upset with the Korean guy on Heroes or anytime someone without a perfect Japanese accent attempts the language. Same thing goes for my Korean friends. The scorn and laughter from that one James Bond movie had little to do with the cornball plot. And yet... and yet, when we watch Korean/Japanese dramas or anime and they feature non-english speakers butchering english, I'm not allowed to laugh. -

I love amazon. I paid for the Prime upgrade and considering how much I buy, it has already paid for itself. And yeah, not paying sales tax is awesome... 'specially out here in california. -
Sulo may have been comfortable with dying, but hiro had no reason. If anything, seeing himself as a kid should have reinforced his desire not to allow his dad to die. Hell, it should have given Sulo a reason not to abandon his kid.
-
Yeah, I'm morbidly curious to see where they will go from here. I have to say, i thought hiro telling Sulo that it was wrong to save him was the biggest bunch of crap in a long time. WTF, hiro just saved millions of people from dying by changing the future and Sulo went along with it, but now it's wrong to save his own dad? What type of stupid thinking is that?

purdy. I like the darker shade of grey on the feet of the Virgin Road.

Macross 25th Anniversary and Macross F/Frontier news thread III
eugimon replied to azrael's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
nice, it looks like the fast packs actually add armor to the valk now, at least it looks that way from the chest pieces in that clip. -
What did aoshima expect would happen? The toynami legioss was such a mess to begin with, did they really expect they would get a high quality product out of it just because toynami slapped the aoshima name on the box?

that just mean. and mean spirited. and mean. DARKSIDED!

The Xbox 360 Thread Elite Edition
eugimon replied to Apollo Leader's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
thats would bugs me about the d-pad. forget about playing a fighting game with it, you would think when the MS people tried to navigate the DASHBOARD with it, they would have noticed that pressing "down" would register as left or right, seemingly at random. -

yup on all accounts. Well, not on the layout, the placement on the old white and black buttons was just retarded. but the new d-pad IS retarded. -
Toynami is making a version of the yf-19 now? God, the even got the colors wrong.

Well, this is the problem when you take characters designed for a mini-series and try to base a regular series off them. People like sylar and peter have the superman weakness, they're BORING. they can do anything, so writers have to think of more and more convoluted reasons why. But because they're so powerful, they have to create increasingly more powerful, more contrived villains. Unfortunately, I think Heroes is a victim of its own popularity. Peter and Syalr were too popular to kill off (though, there was no logical reason why peter would have died at the end of chapter 1) and that hayden girl became too popular and a bigger role for her was shoehorned into the script. Her plot was so minor this season yet they spent so much damn time on it... more than the illegal's roadtrip, more than Hiro in feudal japan, it was the claire arc that bored me the most.

I guess, once upon a time, i had hoped that heroes would pay attention to stuff like that.
