  1. Noticed it's been a while since we got a new post. So I pretty much finished my first full knight for House Jenius, I just need to do the house emblem. Also going to be working on another xenotech version of a new kit GW is releasing this weekend. Hope to have it done by friday night for a game this weekend.
  2. They might be going to a series pilot turned movie, see if any network is up for taking it up. That and/or Polygon's art style (Knights of Sidiona, BLAME!!, Godzilla: Planet of Monsters).
  3. Might it have been a stylistic choice? Not all animation has to be HD or life like.

    How long ago was that? It took a month for me to get in. The question is to get bots and your reply seems human enough. It might be that the admin just hasn't checked for new applicants recently.
  5. The Wisecrack one is more on the story structure issues then anything else. Actually it was them that got me through TLJ, their themes explained video gave me something to hope for. Otherwise I would have walked out during the bomber scene.

    That's the way to do it. For events like the current ticket based one what I usually suggest is to auto set with LUCK so it will pull your highest luck plates. Score isn't a big thing while farming rares. If your doing the three daily pulls plus the 10 pull when you get 500 crystals you'll end up with a few decent 4 star plates. This will help you farm more tickets (level doesn't matter, but the pattern seems to be one gurenteed rare per 25 luck). If you can I'd shoot for the emblem and all the event plates then sit back and relax.
  7. I'm sure there is some interest in backstory for most of the original heroes. Just that from what I was seeing when Solo was annouced that was the biggest question, why? Personally I wasn't interested even before disney took over but that was because I liked that his adventures were things of rumor and clouded. I was more interested in his post-RoJ adventures in the EU but that's me. The movie wasn't bad, it was neat seeing the Kessel run and Lando was the best part. My only major complaint was L337, she was just grating, like near Jar-Jar levels of grating.
  8. Did a little digging after I had time to digest the film personally. Have to agree on a few points: 1) Too close to other major releases. I'm not even talking about it being less then 6 months after TLJ, Marvel releases about every six months and does fine. Speaking of, yeah releasing so close to IW and with DP2 moving up it was a nice cock block against Solo. 2) Bad press. Granted Rogue One was reported to have production issues, it didn't have nearly the amount of bad press Solo did with issues going back almost a year prior to release. 3) Meh reviews. I believe this was mentioned earlier, but the lack luster reviews of the film by critics didn't help with it's already lowering expectations. 4) Poorly timed release. Believe it or not, Memorial weekend has been a low point for summer movies going on for almost a decade now, combined with point 1 it just hit even harder. 5) Why Solo? Seriously, of all the characters to choose from, why Solo? There was little interest in his origins past what we got in the OT and that was fine. There is more buzz on getting a Obi-wan movie and that was before Solo was announced. All of these factors just caused it to flop (by Disney standards), hopefully they learn (doubtful) and we get a better movie later.
  9. Saw it over the weekend. It wasn't bad, but honestly it was as I figured, a straight to video release. I'm not interested in origin stories of the main SW cast, the original trilogy did that already anyway. Honestly unless they make a X-Wing/Rogue Squadron film (or series) I'm out after ep IX and that is just to finish the Skywalker saga.
  10. Not so much a toy purchase as a purchase for my toys. Got a pair of Detolf display cabinets so i can start collecting more Macross and Gundam.
  11. Having them re-issue the fleet boxes would be great. If you want some of the ships seems there was a line that did get re-issued recently. Follow the link to hlj and see the suggested and they pop up. From the looks they are ~9 inch resin models, though at $50 a shot it's anyone's call. Personally I like the redesigns of the Imperial ships and hope that the if we get models that they include clear canopies for the parts that seem to have them.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Your ok, the bit of the VF-31 with the draken and the mirage 282 is from the movie, not the series.
  13. That's it! Next purchase I do is a display case. Bandai finally broke me. For frak sake..... *looks at Ikea website*
  14. Been a while since I last updated. I finished the mini-knight seen here munching on some xenos: And his bigger brother Here's more work on my next Imperial Knight of House Jenius I'm doing.

    Most of SDFM, yeah. We're like maybe half way through Frontier and Mac7 and 2/3 of Delta. Plus they did say they are looking in to getting some OVA support.

    I'm all for getting a strike/super pack valk, also adding Roy in general. Not sure if we are getting a new valk soon though, most of the focus seems to be on the costumes.

    As you play you'll get a lot of UC currency plus those SLive items pop up during events (I'm sitting on 500 and haven't bought any in three months). So while they seem limited they aren't rare. As for 0-G Love, it's a part of Memory lane which unlocks as you level, guess that means the site was out of date... sec. Just checked my own memory lane, if the pattern holds true, damn 0-G Love is rank 70. Question have you gotten Barsara and Mylene yet. By my count at 18 you shouldn't have them (they should be around rank 24). Also as you try for higher difficulties you'll need to speed up the game (I run at 8 doing mostly very hard). Try it on hard to get your rhythm, as for practice it's just in playing the game. Go for survival first, then super diva mode, then full combo. Don't worry if you mess up and if you need a break, take it. As you level you'll get more stamina to play for longer stretches but you regen at the same rate. (Currently at rank 72 with 74 stam). Rank EXP is earned at a rate of stam usage +1 x10, so completing a hard mode song gives 130 xp while a normal gives 90. Also when you level you get a full set of stamina Also when we get a ticket event these don't use stamina so can get you some extra plays for free xp. Higher scores will come from better plates and high combos. If you have any other questions just ask.

    @rdrunner Yup, thank you. I just needed the ranks of the song unlocks. From the looks it seems on the even number levels for the most part, Welcome to My fanclub Night being the exception, and capping so far at 30.
  19. Considering I just freed up funds from a con I'm not staying at... I might have to look into this and just do a slight mod to make it a captain uniform.
  20. I don't promote genocide, I'm ok for a culling though. Genocide is for the eventual elimination of a group, which is wrong. Culling on the other hand can trim the fat and make for a strong whole, just that humans have gotten to resistant to natural means so.... But yes good work there @kajnrig
  21. Nope. It's not so much about the amount of resources as the allocation of said resources. As for making it worse, by doubling the resources you only teach the lesson of waste, since if you need more it will magically appear later if you pray hard enough (ie contact thanos). By dropping the populace this works better in getting the populace into thinking about resource usage and life in general. Course it can back-fire, but in those cases there less to use resources and therefor the back-fire would have minimal effect. The flaw here is that he didn't send a message with the event, like warning those that survived that they have a chance to be better or else (Sodom and Gamora anyone?).
  22. I enjoyed DP2 waaaay more then IW, but that's because IW is literatly a thrid re-hash of the original Avengers. DP2 was as funny as the original. Even the ending was great. Though...
  23. Actually doubling the resources makes the problem Thanos was trying to solve worse. While in the comics his reason for wiping half the life in the galaxy is clearer, this in the movie it wasn't until you you sit and think hard on it. In the end, he has a very good point and did what needed to be done.
