I read somewhere that Papillon Noir, one of the new characters in GGG FINAL, also appears in Betterman. Is this true?

After finding out that the original game was a dating sim, I didn't expect much more from the anime after the first episode.

Today, I went to Chinatown and picked up the GaoGaiGar FINAL bootleg DVD along with the GaoFighGar figure by Yujin. I just finished the first three episodes and I must say "WOW!" The series is much darker and the animation is much better (though I noticed that the last few episodes have gone fully digital). A full review should be available by Monday. As for the figure, I'll talk about it as well.

While shopping for some new anime, I noticed that Gunparade March was available in a limited edition tin can. Has anyone picked this one up?

1. Hall and Nash last appeared at a UPW house show in Anaheim, CA, this past February. They vowed not to wrestle unless it's to put someone over. 2. Jeff Jarrett runs NWA-TNA, where everyone calls him "Triple-J." Sting is in there as well. Scott Steiner is still under contract with the WWE, but is out with another injury. Rick Steiner is nowhere to be found. 3. It looks like Paul Heyman is legitimately out of the WWE. There are rumors of him setting up his own organization patterned after ECW.

There are some problems with bringing Sting in: 1. He's currently under contract with NWA-TNA. 2. He says he's a born-again Christian and believes WWE is smut. What does that make resident Christians Shawn Michaels and Molly Holly? 3. Will the WWE crowd really accept him, especially since he's never stepped foot on a WWE ring in his 20+ years in the business?

The problem is that even though he did nothing but ride his ATV and chug beer in the ring, he was still a huge draw for the company. He was also the one person that kept Triple-H's ego in check backstage (at least until he walked out two years ago). With four big names gone (Austin, The Rock, Brock Lesnar and Goldberg) and Kurt Angle in no position to wrestle, the WWE is in big trouble if it doesn't develop any new superstar this year.

It is official: STONE COLD CALLS IT QUITS!

Time's up. Next question, UN Spacy.

Probably just the engine, gas tank, radio and windows.

New rules: 1. If the question is not answered within 12 hours, the person who posted the question must post another question. 2. If the thread remains idle after 24 hours, anyone else can jump in and ask their trivia question.

Kicker doesn't count as 1) he's a human, and 2) he doesn't transform.

Stick with Alternators instead.

Actually it's the other way around. Fireball was the main one in the Jap cartoon and Colt in the american one According to The Complete Anime Guide, Seijuushi Bismarck didn't have an actual leader as the team worked as a cohesive unit. The Japanese guy (a.k.a. Fireball) was the main character at most. In the English version by World Events Productions (Voltron, Denver the Last Dinosaur), the series was reworked to make it look like Richard Lancelot (the British guy) was the leader. Hence the title Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs.

Sengoku Majin GoShogun and Aku Dai-Sakusen Srungle

This is absolutely unbelievable, especially for old-school wrestling fans: What next - Starrcade instead of Armageddon?

Last night on RAW: - After losing to Christian due to interference last week, Tajiri demanded a match against Jonathan Coachman at Backlash. Coach, however, wanted to see if the Japanese Buzzsaw was worthy to fight him; so he brought in a masked ninja and issued a challenge. If Tajiri defeated the ninja, he would get his match. Tajiri destroyed the ninja with his trademark kick to the head and unmasked the opponent to reveal his true identity. It was Al Snow after all. - Three years after being fired for possessing marijuana and some drugs deemed illegal in Canada, Grandmaster Sexay made his return, only to be squashed by Kane. - More stupid mishaps with Eugene. Vince, we already have a retarded wrestler - your son-in-law! - Being the master of exposing other people's past incidents, Chris Jericho played old footage, proving that Trish Stratus really is a female dog. - Johnny Nitro now uses the old WCW Monday Nitro theme as his entrance music. Hell, he even uses the Nitro logo on his TitanTron entrance screen. Another example of WWE exploiting its former rival company. - Wow...WWE actually used FMW footage to show Mick Foley's hardcore reputation. - Chris Benoit/Shawn Michaels/Shelton Benjamin/Mick Foley def. Evolution after HBK landed some Sweet Chin Music on Randy Orton. This means that HBK will lose the triple-threat match this Sunday. Now for my predictions on WWE Backlash: World Heavyweight Championship - Triple-Threat - Unfortunately, all odds will be on Triple-H. Having lost three consecutive matches means he'll win the title this Sunday. And what a way to degrade Benoit on his home turf. Intercontinental Championship - Hardcore Rules - Despite all the buildup on Foley, expect him to job once again to Randy Orton - even without Evolution in his corner. Mixed Handicap - Chris Jericho vs. Christian & Trish Stratus - Y2J will get his revenge on Christian and Trish. Edge vs. Kane - Broken hand and all, Edge will win this one. WWE Women's Championship - Good question. Lita's held the title only once. Is she ready to be champion for a second time? I'll just bet on Victoria. Shelton Benjamin vs. Ric Flair - Shelton may or may not win. But if Batista's in Ric's corner, then he can't win. Tajiri vs. Jonathan Coachman - Will Tajiri shut the Coach up? Chances are that Al Snow will interfere in this match and cost the Japanese Buzzsaw the match.

Not Japanese, but still hilarious.

In MGS1, Big Boss' DNA was used to create Solid Snake and Liquid Snake. But according to Liquid, all of the perfect genes were given to Solid Snake, while he was given the leftovers.

Actually, Hasbro's been putting the word Autobot in front of certain names. For example, on the new Spychangers, there's one called Autobot Jazz, who sports the blue and red stripes. Then there's Autobot Tracks and a few others on the G1 reissues with Autobot before their names. Then again, Hasbro changed a couple of names. Hot Rod is now Rodimus Minor while Bluestreak is now Silverstreak. So it's Hasbro's decision to either 1) prominently put the word Autobot before Jazz, or 2) just rename him to Meister or something related.

Oh yeah, and major props to electric indigo for the lineart. BTW, are there plans for models of the other planes?

It looks more like a stramlined version of the Firefox.

Nice wallpapaer. Got more?

Are there any reviews of this game availabe in English online?
