  1. This is seriously retarded. How many Batman movies do we need?
  2. I can't offer any suggestions. My wife empathically told me 'Not interested'.
  3. I just notices something wrong with this pic: The ship is underway. Why does the flags still fly at the bow & stern flag staff's? Now I have no idea what the deal was a 100 years ago but modern procedures, for the USN, when they call 'Underway, Shift Colors!' on the 1MC, the Union Jack [or the Don't Tread on Me Flag] on the bow and the National Ensign on the stern are lowered at the same time, the bigger National Ensign is raised on the at-sea flag staff on the back of the bridge tower. maybe it's for dramatic effect, but I think the makers of this pic goof'ed. [Navy Nerd Mode, OFF]
  4. I wonder if Battletech (currently in the Dark Age era) will make those Aerotech VTOLs legal? So it's a basically EVA, Jaegars and the evil dude from Big Hero Six (or at least his bits)? *shrug* more please?
  5. Is the anticipation level comparable in Japan as (maybe) here in the states (or global)?
  6. time mark 0:56s in: I am not worried at all. She Loves Ido.
  7. I heard about that from Geeks & Gamers. I wonder if that move was more PR desperation/damage control than pure concern to the fan owner/maker? Certainly, Disney has been intent on driving the bus into oncoming traffic... I only have one question: who is the other company that this guys mentions, that caused all this ruckus in the first place?
  8. did they (the Japanese) have working helicopters in WWII? I thought the first combat use of helicopters was the Korean War?
  9. please, don't &^%$ this up, C.
  10. You have to admit, in a lot of anime & manga in the past decade, Nazi-ism isn't as looked down upon as it once was (in fact, the only anime that I know that uses German militarism to good effect (minus the facist motifs) is Gundam and Yamato 2199/2202. As for the D&D references, I disagree partially. Because the anime setting is a MMO, the inspiration that comes to mind is WoW, Final Fantasy and older MMO's (defunct or active) besides classic D&D (and by extension, DDO) for all those powers, skills & feats. The only thing that you don't see or referred, in Overlord, is references to actual skill checks and DC's (classic D&D references).
  11. Oh... I didn't know anything about the PC's real world player (let alone the dystopian setting the individual was in). Was this series created in any attempt to piggyback on Ready Player One (since the premise of Overlord sounds a lot like RPO)?
  12. can someone explain Overlord (and why does it feel like that the Evil toons win in the end)? I understand that the skeleton Necro is/was a PC that remained logged in after the server shut down but he still seems like he's either Chaotic Evil (or Chaotic Neutral)…? I started watching random clips on YouTube (pity that Abridged only has 1 eps for Overlord) and I do like it... but it's rather... hmm.
  13. IDK if this new-ish or just a rehash of already released media...?
  14. Something to think about: When I was 9-10, I didn't have fancy computers, Play Stations and the like. The market range for toys is rather narrow once a kid gets a game system...
  15. The very best? playing 80's Swivel Arm Battle Grip Joes with a 70's Space: 1999 Eagle. Oh the times I had in my back yard as a minion...
  16. Is it possible it looks all AFU because the films are done up in film format (not television episodic)?
  17. at 1:00 into the video (from that article) I see a turbine hose (used to supply pressure air for air starts for F-14s and other Vietnam-era A/C). I assume the machine they are gathered around is the airstart unit itself but I wonder: is it there for effects/sh*ts&giggles or does that Tomcat have cans that light up? Very Curious... its obviously not Navy GSE (we used legacy GTC-85 [as well as the A/M47 A-3] and NCPP-105 [ or the A/M47A-4] for shore duty starting)… still I'm insanely curious why that machine is there?
  18. *claps* I am not worried at ALL for this movie... it's little things like that, that make me sing...
  19. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_F-14_Tomcat#cite_note-amarg-66 IDK why they kept 11 at that time (I thought it was congressional mandate to destroy or render unflyable remaining F-14s or at least, demil the most desirable parts that the Iranians would need to even TRY and fly their remaining assets?).
  20. It's obviously a museum or Gate guard bird (the only US planes in existence, since all other planes are razor blades). They all standing there because the motors are removed. probably looking at the upper frame to make sure its not cracking because of the lack of engines, if anything... either that or they are admiring all the graffiti that thousands of 'mechs, tin smiths, bubble & 'Tron chasers have written on their planes back in the day...
