    It was indeed deafening in the theater. I may have posted about it the night I saw it. Well worth the price of entry.

    Does the Spartan share the lower body that those other three do? I admit I've never taken a super close gander at it...

    Just bringing this back up because I got curious about the scale of this thing, and it's apparently (relatively) TINY. ~17cm tall versus even the Kotobukiya 1/100 kit's ~22cm. Sure it's still about the size of a MG/MB/GFFMC/etc. Gundam, but at nearly 4x the cost of that kit, I would have wanted it to be at least the same size. Hopefully for you who buy it, all the bells and whistles makes up for it.

    Weirdly enough, I never had such an issue. But then again, I didn't keep it long enough to notice many (or any) problems. I sold it along to someone almost as soon as I snapped it together.

    Right, the 285K is actually a bit worse than the 14900K in terms of pure gaming performance, but it consumes less energy to do so. I think something like 70-80% the power draw for 90-95% the frames, generally. It also doesn't (seem to) suffer from the same degradation issues that plague the 13th and 14th-gen parts. It's also better overall in productivity tasks. Not by too much, but it's better while consuming less energy. If I were buying for myself, I wouldn't feel comfortable getting ANY 13th-/14th-gen Intel part, new or used. The 285K wins by default. Purely gaming-wise, AMD's X3D parts offer 20-30% better performance for sometimes half the power draw. Across a wider range of use cases, the AMD 9000 and Intel 200 parts tend to trade blows, though the AMD parts consume less energy. But I imagine the AMD chips are demanding a pretty premium at the moment, so if you can get a 285K for fairly cheap, I don't think you can go wrong.

    The only way I'm getting this is if it's ThreeA-sized, because yeah, the Koto kit is constantly repopped and is fantastic.

    While I'd much rather see the Arbalest or M9, or even this design in its original form, this is a welcome development.

    Maybe I'm missing something. It just looked like a bunch of in- and out-of-engine cutscenes...? I'm no FPS player, but isn't BF all about the dynamic emergent gameplay and environmental destruction?

    According to Wikipedia, that only started being prescribed to the logo in 2004. Before that, notable definitions included - "S" for "Superman" (origin) - an El family crest/coat of arms (from Superman: The Movie) - a design by Pa Kent based off Native American iconography, depicting a snake to symbolize healing (The Man of Steel, 80s) This desire for it to mean something super deep, and "hope" of all things, I find to be really weird and unnecessary. But that's coming from me as a casual Superman audience. Anyway, I think it's about as good and bad as any of the other James Gunn superhero movies. Choosing Israel-Palestine as a backdrop wasn't a great decision. The use of Krypto and an associated spoiler was a good one. The movie was at its best when it didn't take itself super seriously. I think it could have handled the "serious" subject matter more adeptly by leaning even more heavily into its super simplistic, cartoony storytelling. As is, its attempts feel half-assed. Altogether, it holds together better than the Snyderverse movies, but otherwise is surpassed by other superhero movies before it. It's a cut above/below Superman Returns, but generally in that same ballpark.

    They're officially non-scale, but are roughly slightly larger than 1/144 scale, same as the regular Robot Spirits line. IIRC they target an absolute size of around 5-6" or 12-15cm and scale loosely amongst themselves. (Smaller MSes like Wing are smaller than usual, bigger ones like Nu are bigger than usual, etc.) Metal Build and Chogokin are indeed bigger and tend to map more directly to 1/100 scale, though IIRC they too target an absolute size of 7-8" rather than a strict 1/100 scale. Currently, no. I don't remember if the Granddaddy has even been made in MB/Choogkin/etc. The Robot Spirits Ver ANIME figure might work for you, but like the Metal RS you linked, it also is in the smaller scale. Bandai did release a version of the MG Perfect Gundam without its "Perfect"/"Full Armor" parts, which might work for you: https://p-bandai.com/us/item/N2559803001006

    That's my best guess, too. 🤷‍♂️ Oh well. Since it's been posted, I'll delete this thread. Thanks for the head's-up. EDIT: ...or not. I could swear there used to be a Delete option somewhere...

    No, I mean what does "SCOOPUDA" stand for?
  13. kajnrig
    Ah, I see. I don't check that thread (obviously), what even is it? "SCOOPUDA" = ???

    Just posting an FYI since I didn't see anyone had posted it yet. First episodes of 7, Frontier, and Delta are up. https://www.youtube.com/@macrossch2259

    I don't know if my expectations have just dropped that much or the movie was legitimately that good, but I had a really good time with this movie. Gareth Edwards does a great job establishing scale, and there are tons of shots (maybe too many) that do a phenomenal job showing off just how big the big dinos really are. The story is meh, definitely doesn't reach the same level of smart and thought-provoking as JP1 but then again what has done, but it's serviceable enough and is told competently. As I suspected, the "fake" dinos are nowhere as interesting as the "real" dinos; the latter could still easily carry an entire film on their own, despite the insistence of the World movies. A future movie, I would love if they doubled down on their efforts here to be as "natural" with the dinos as possible. Even better if they make a dino the actual star of the movie and make smart decisions in order to tell a story from its perspective.
