sigh. it seems like we've talked this topic to death and yet here it is again.

dream sequence!!!

my valks are still white. I wanna say user error here.

the little sidestory for him is rather amusing.

mmm, so pretty... can't wait till mine gets here. thanks for the review!

not to be a nit pick, and nice write up BTW, no need to use 'of' after myriad.

sad, I loved the jolly little guy.

very nice! though, the white heat shield bothers me a bit... at quick glance it looks like it has a pot belly....

mmmm... warms up my little cold heart as I sit here at WORK the day after thanksgiving.. oh well, the proceeds from today will be donated to my macross addiction. muahahaha

the part swapping is probably because that thing is most likely a painted prototype and they don't want to stress the resin

argh... can't wait... so awesome.

Foul language? Where? Anyways Buried treasure?... buried alive by your description MISB is the only way a 1/55 will have some kind of value as it is it's parts are the only 'valuable' thing 345031[/snapback] he said, "sh*tty cameraphone" boo the foul language, boo!

From 16 pages you are so quick to judge? I will wait till the first story arc is done before I call an opinion on it. 344323[/snapback] ooooooh! SNAP! 344547[/snapback] oooh snap? is this what passes for a burn in your world? hahaha. how's this, your MOMs a snap. haha. oooh, burn, modded!

From 16 pages you are so quick to judge? I will wait till the first story arc is done before I call an opinion on it. 344323[/snapback] yup. crap cover, open it up, oooh look some crap art. Well, let's read the story.. hmm, more of the crap... I give this five craptacular stars. If this were a meal at mcdonalds it would be a mc-crap with cheese.

yeah, europe and asia are one region and the US is another... not a big deal. if you really like the movies you can import them with outfits like lik-sang The novelty of the movies wears off though. haha. just get a 1gig memory stick and rip your own/

the only differences I noticed were that the power button slides a little easier and that the analog pad has more resistance initially. all the talk about the screen being better seems pretty bogus... at least I couldn't see any difference and the silver edging is still plastic.

I think Japan is actually 110volts? Either way, it doesn't matter too much. I plus my Japanese PS2, laptop and cell phone into my 120v wall sockets all the time and I haven't had any problems. 344351[/snapback] It doesn't matter, the PSP's transformer is dual voltage. My PSP charges up just fine in the US, Korea&Japan and europe

That's news to me. The special relativity I learned in physics was that as the speed of travel approaches the speed of light, time, mass, and dimensions become distorted. Mass approaches infinity, length approaches zero, and time stands still. It places the universal speed limit at the speed of light. It also makes Newtonian physics useful only for everyday life at speeds much less than the speed of light and low precision. General relativity says that accelerating reference frame and gravitic reference frame are the same. Within a closed box, one would not know if the box is accelerating in empty space free of gravity or if the box is standing still inside a gravity well. There is a thought experiment that can be done to show that space is curved. Also, a particle not only exists in three dimensional space but also a time as well. A particle's position can be described best as a physical location (x, y, z) and time t. What I take this to mean for time travel is that with time dilation, travelling into the future is possible but not into the past. Also, with sufficient mass, space can be made to curve in on itself so that a particle may occupy two places at the same time. The multi-verse idea. I've heard of this before. But this is the first time I've seen the theory of relativity explicitly say that there is only one timeline. However, I don't see anything in relativity that restricts us to only one universe. 344233[/snapback] It's not explicit but implied... for einstein time travel was basically in regards to you move relatively faster than others and moving forward in time. Time travel in to the past could be done with a wormhole that was anchored with a time travel machine at both ends of time/space. so if you move into the past to do something you can't change anything because while for you your relative experience is the now but objective history would have already recorded what you did (in your now). so defacto, only one universe. Now there might be multiple universes but you're not creating "new" universes or even altering your universe by your actions because the world that you live in already took into account that which you did.

I want to know when they're going to come out with one of these for streethawk? now there was a good show.

taken from www.darkhorizons.com without permission: "Three films, some cable TV shows and a short lived series aren't enough to keep Paul Verhoeven's cybernetic creation down, now word comes from CHUD that a remake of the science fiction classic is in the works. According to that lovable site of booze, boobs and tasteful bisexuality (is there any other kind?), their "source is usually quite reliable with intel, as unfortunate as that may be in this case... producer Michael De Luca and Sony have apparently decided to dismantle the scrap and solder it back together for a 21st century version of the heavy-steppin' police weapon... Word is that original Robocop director Paul Verhoeven wisely wants nothing to do with it." Set in a crime-ridden futuristic Detroit, the original film told of a mortally wounded law officer becomes part of a corporate experiment in which his remains are encased in a robotic suit and unleashed on the city's felons.

Urr? Please explain. I admit my knowledge of special relativity is restricted to high school physics, but this is the first time I hear that special relativity restricts us to one universe and one timeline. 344150[/snapback] Sure... real general like here it goes: special relativity describes one universe with one timeline... Time travel may be possible but it requires the creation of a time machine... something that will open a hole in the fabric of space/time and keep it open.... you can thus only travel to point in time which there already exists a time machine to receive you. Time and events are also fixed... so no paradoxes... you can't travel back in time to kill your parents because you didn't. Then there's Quantum Theory.. and this is a giant ball of yarn... basically this sets up the notion that for every possible choice/chance whatever, there exists a universe where it happened... The terminator world follows Quantum theory more or less.... Here's a fun site that describes it far better than I could: http://www.iit.edu/~bosabri/time.html

Terminator's continuity isn't that solid to begin with. John Conner is born because of a predestination paradox. Kyle Reese goes back in time to stop the terminator from killing Sarah Conner, mother of John Conner. In the process, they have sex and he winds up being John conner's father. Meaning that the rebel leader Skynet attempted to prevent was only created BECAUSE the terminator was running around in the past. A predestination paradox requires a rigid and unchangable timeline, at least with regards to the events responsible for the paradox. They stop Judgement Day in T2. Which means the future is changable, John Conner's dad was never sent back, the predestination paradox doesn't work, and he doesn't exist. Which means there was never a Kyle Reese chasing a terminator back in time, Sarah Conner never found out about Skynet, John Conner was never born, and Judgement Day wasn't stopped. And we're back at square one with a timeline that has now been bent into a mobius strip of broken causality. Then they do Terminator 3, which says they just moved the date, and didn't cancel the show. Which doesn't do poor John any good, since his dad STILL wasn't sent back in time due to the diffrent timelines. There may be another Kyle Reese, and he may've been sent back in time in his version of the timeline, and may've even fathered a child, but the Kyle that we know won't exist anymore, which means it's impossible for him to go back in time and relay the orginal, now-inaccurate information about Judgement Day to Sarah. If the elements future is changable, predestination paradoxes CANNOT function. And if predestination paradoxes can't work, the foundation of the entire franchise is invalid. The only way for continuity to hold is if T3 is rewritten so Judgement Day happens on the timetable originally laid out by T1. 343984[/snapback] Meh, not really.. you're thinking of rules laid down by special relativity... where there is only one universe and one timeline... And since they are able to go back in time previous to when a working time machine was built we know that they are not bound to special relativity... but we can escape the whole paradox thing by just assuming they are following quatum theory. p

sigh... no new news.

and yet they won't bring back firefly...

well... my comp wasn't keeping up anymore... mostly it was Civ IV that brought it to a crawl. i have an athlon 2800xp with 512 of 2800 DDR and Geforce 5200. At the advice of our IT guy I swapped out the ram with 1 gig of pc3200 (budget value grade stuff) and got me a shiny geforce 660GT (OEM, 150 bucks). well, Civ IV just purs along nice and smooth now, happy as can be. I think I'll fire up homeworld 2 and see how that goes now... muahahaha.
