If you believe I'm going to be unbiased thank you. Now stop living in dream world. The Review: Okay I don't think that much of Robotech. I'm sure some of you know that already but what you don't know is that back in 1986 my friends in the 5th grade and I road our bikes around pretending they were cyclones. How lame was that! Back in the 80's that was my favorite saga of Robotech. Even though I consider myself a pure Macross fan I still have a little soft spot in my cold blacken heart for cyclones blasting Invids. I first saw this game a couple of months ago but I had other games that I want to play first. When I saw this game I laughed. Flash forward to Xmas. I have the holiday off and I decided to rent a game. You didn't think I would buy this game now did you? Since I played all the other games I wanted I decided to finally rent this one. Battle Cry sucked but that was a first attempt. This one would have to be better. Note the games I played before renting this one were Samurai Warriors Extreme Legends, MSG Snake Eater and Ace Combat 5. Yes those games were better but that doesn't mean Invasion was bad. Using a cyclone to blast invid it's a great idea and fun at time yet the game seemed like a half effort. You know when a new system comes out the first games for it are sorta so so and as years go by the games get better and better that make the earlier games weak in comparsion? Invasion is like one of those earlier games. If I played it a few years ago I would have like it more. Now the problems. First you can't drive a cyclone in motorcyle indoors. Go take ahead the fun away. Second you can't kill allies, sometimes I just want to shoot friends. The music is something else. Artero(?) pilots a girl's cyclone does that mean he goes both ways? I can't drive a cyclone through a tent. Every one seem to have the same face to me. How come Locke has to fights the latin woman? I think an orgy with them would have been better. Who agree with me? Sad no one got any "action." The voices. Can we talk about the voices? Yep a lot of Robotech VO are in the game. Fine with me. It's a nice odd but that Sam character. That voice was just errrgghhhhhh. My biggest complaint has to be the way the story was presented. Where's the CGI mini animated intro movies and cut scenes that we've come to expect from current games? This one had some but animation quality was the same as the game play. Don't these tend to be of better quality? Then there's those flash blacks (with great dialog btw ) those would have been perfect spots to throw in a movie but I'd you get blury vision and hear some bad screaming. A lot of the story was told through others screaming dialog during battle. If it wasn't for my earlier knowledge of Robotech I wouldn't understand what the hell was going on. I swear half the time I time didn't and still don't. Overall: This game was better than Battle Cry but was just an okay experience. Had the story been presented better I would have thought much better about this game.

I haven't been around much the last several days. Actually believe it or not I slipped in the rain and landed the back of my head on a side walk over a week ago. No kidding. I'm still alive. I didn't think I caused any brain damage with that fall but reading this thread and links connected with it makes me think that I'm suffering some kind of brain damaged induced nightmare. From what I remember Bank of Kev seemed to have a blind devotion too HG and Robotech. He either wanted to be the biggest suck up in the world or just enjoyed getting others at Macross World up in arms against him. Maybe it was little from colum A and a little from colum B. Now he's working for them? One of there biggest defenders now works for them! That's a laugh. I'm ashamed of you at this site. Why haven't you guys got a job with BW? I mean some of you could be accused of defending BW in the same degree that was seen from Bok. We had banned BoK because his name was on a list of the most disruptive members . That list included supporters from both sides of the usual conflicts as well other disruptive members. It should come to no surprize why he was on that list. To his credit I did appreciate actions that he took to clear up a comment that he made and included my appreciation in his ban notice. When we moved to these new forums. We did a little review on the members that we banned on the earlier boards. Here is a brief copy of my review of Bank. bankofkev: "I can't play nice with skullone, I only come here to debate Robotech. I like to say stupid things to make sane people mad at me" Note that quote didn't come him but was me doing a bad imitiation. I did one for just about everyone in my review but that was summary meant for humor wasn't too far off from the truth. I don't know if he honestly believes half the stuff he was spitting out. A lot of it posted here, there and elsewhere seemed to be designed just to get under the nerves of some people. As far as I know we never re-banned him here. He hasn't posted much here or has gotten into any more conflicts with members of this board on this very board (elsewhere excluded). Why has he done so? I don't know maybe it's not entertaining as it use to be. Seems he'd rather do it on that blog. Fine with me that's a good idea. People in this thread should do the same. Ask BOK to create a feed back section on his blog or what ever and you all can join him. Honestly do we really need to keep talking about him here? A kidding aside good for him. I'm sure it's a dream for him I wish him the best. Now for one criticism before I close this topic. Bok I think you now have your dream job. You're no longer a fanboy. Put all those crazy Macross Worlders behind you. Is there really a need for that blog? The war for you is over. Don't keep trying to rustle any feathers. Does the rest the employees of HG maintain a blog that pays attention to people that hate them? I haven't visited Robotech.com forums in a long time but do your new peers do the same? I doubt it. Not all those on Macross World are like Volcanos. I haven't read everyword of your blog but is there need to make generelations about Macross World as a whole now is there? Not every poster on Macross World is an insane supporter of BW that wants HG to die. Some posters on Macross World, Robotech.com are or may one day become a customer of your new employer. Do you want them to see your blog? It could very well turn potential customers of your employer away. Isn't there some rule in business about not saying or doing things that will drive customers away? It's been a long while since I cracked a Robotech joke and that includes in private. I can't remember when I last bashed it. When you take a some what public position you start to watch what you say in public. Your's is now much bigger with influence. Time for you to get in the habit.

Why don't you Email or PM Shawn directly?

Wasn't there already a topic on this subject?

And so the bashing begins again. Am I the only that noticed that dejr8bud who helped started the bashing again decided to start it by quoting a comment that was posted on August 15? At least quote a comment that's more time worthy.

Ask to start this thread again after the Holidays.

One's voice does change with age and she could also maybe been singing 'in character' so to speak. PS: That pic You guys sure have a lot class. First everyone's saying "She still look pretty good ". Next thing you know you guys are doing the Agent One to every door knob you can find. C

Fist Full Of Dollars is a remake of Yojimbo. A few of Kurosawa's Samurai movies have been turned into westerns. Strange how samurai movies can adapt so well into westerns.

After not watching the WWF (I still call it that) for over a months I decided to watch the last half and hour. Girls in underware having a pillow fight. Has that Diva winner been in a "real" match yet? The main event Maven vs Triple H. Story wise the build up to that match (part I saw) was good but the execution of the match "yawn" you could see the crowd nearest to the ring were bored. The good guy wrestlers were all helping Maven but he still lost. Triple H look like the hero in that match. I thought he was the main villian. I think they could at least let Maven have some "uber" attack of his own that landed on Triple H that might have got the crowds going. You can't root for the good guy when he's so weak he needs help from others.

1 or 2 years ago?

On the flip side...

ON TOPIC? NO. GOOD.

I think that forum is larger cause a lot of people are bored and have too much free time. It's getting big cause people keep posting off topic stuff. I'm tempted to start threating people with short term banning for making that forum a mess. That oughta clean things up.

What happen to that other movie they going to make in the 90's? They even had this little girl actress who was suppose to be Charlie's sister or something appear on the tonight show to help with early promotion for it. Does anyone remember that episode of the tonight show?

If I was as bored as much as are I would ban you for a spell instead I'll just close this topic.

A few concerns: 1. I wouldn't want to see all our English speaking members posting "please translate this for me topic" in such a forum. I don't us to look like nags and to have such a forum littered with like topics. 2. Will they come? Do you think people would post on it? 3. Whose going to moderate it? You?

This is political and OT but most importantly this Voting crap ruined the MTV Music Awards. Do what I do! Watch the blipping Voting crap on fricken TV!!!!

Anyways my late opinion on the last episode. It looks to me that Kawamori and company planned out 5 episodes but through the actual production expanded it to 6 episodes while still only making 5. This last one should have been spilt up in two parts.

Do me a favor, grow up.

I'm still around. AFM was fun. When ever someone complained about the rude posters here at Macross World I think, they must never have seen AFM. Last time I checked AFM out it looked like a bunch of spam.

I think were a little off topic. Your welcome to start a new topic on this off topic stuff.

A brief comment from me on "Magic" in Macross Plus. Yes we can explain that Sharon was in control through mass hypnosis but there are also "magical" themes around it. Sharon's was like the mythological harpies (hope I got the right creature's name). I believe as the myth goes the harpies sing and sailors jump into the sea to drown. Like the harpies Sharon was leading Isamu to his death and Myung broke Sharon's song/spell with a song/spell of her own. Not saying it was all magic or science but there was a magical/mythological feel to it. PS: I'm waiting for the fansubs.

I'm the guilty party. Be as pissed off as you want to be. I don't care. Your warning or not the stuff can still be considered vulgar. Letting it slide cause it's from some rare book wouldn't be a good excuse from someone else who wanted to directly post pics or links to some thing of similar content. Please don't give me that stuff about other people posting stuff like that before. That's a the defense of newbie. Also whining about it is childish. When you post stuff like that, you shouldn't be surprized if it's removed. Please don't give me that excuse that Shawn wanted to see that stuff and you called him oohhh I'm scaried... If he wanted them so badly I'm sure you could have forwarded him the link of the pics by private message or email them to him. Sorry for not sending you a essay on why I deleted the topics. I keep forgetting that as volunteers we're required to send a 3 to 10 page essay on the reason why we close every topic and posts that we edit and close. Whine, whine, whine. I'd expect this reaction from someone that was new. You really should have known better.

I have Uncharted Waters New Horizons (or Uncharted Waters 2) for PC and KOEI did make Uncharted Waters 3 and 4 for PC Uncharted Waters 4 is as fun as Uncharted Waters 2. Uncharted Waters New Horizons for the SNES is a classic, improved graphcis from the PC version. Which trading route did you usually use? or you are a pirate? Did you go to Japan and buy the "100 cannon" battleship? (I don't remember the name) I basically go discover something rare, get paid, place the money in the bank, sail around the sea doing a little trading and piracy. Are the other Uncharted Waters games in English or Japanese.
