I was just using Google Earth to check out the graveyard. It's sad to see so many planes just sitting there like that. Especially the B-1s and F-14s.

Lucasarts. SOE. Star Wars Galaxies and the NGE. After losing thousands of subs to the Combat Upgrade (which in reality wasn't that bad and did bring a new sense of balance to the game) they decided tearing the combat, leveling, and overall gameplay system down to the ground and going with something new (that the SWG player base shot down at every turn) that was more "Star Warsy and Iconic" was the way to go. Biggest blunder of 2005 and arguably one of the biggest in the MMO side of the gaming industry ever.

Kind of glad I didn't actually own a 360 until a few months ago.

Thought it was just Tatooine? Isn't Hoth exclusive to the 'Ultimate Edition" coming out in November?

I voted District 9 but I have a lot of hope for Avatar. We'll see.

At the end of the trailer it says "Some materials are owned and subject to copyright by Microsoft Corporation. Mechwarrior is the registered and unregistered trademark(s) of Microsoft Corporate in the United States and other jurisdictions." I think HG might have finally met a company they don't want f*ck with. Regardless of the legalities HG can or cannot raise, money always wins in the end. MS has proven that time and time again.

Thanks. ^^

Having trouble finding it in the thread and would rather have it from someone here than some random off google. What is the deal with HG having any say in something from Battletech/Mechwarrior? I don't need a huge story but would appreciate it if someone could shed light or give me a solid link. Thanks.

Seconded.

I just read this article. Sheds some interesting light on the BC thing but at the same time seems pretty inaccurate considering all the people I have talked who don't own a PS3 to want BC and is the biggest reason they DON'T buy it. Granted, we're only talking 20 some odd people but if this rumored firmware hits I think Sony will see a jump in sales all over the place.

The same ole "we will try so hard to make this unlike anything you've ever seen" line will be all I see until they prove it's something different from every other MMO for the last 10 years. Most of it is copy of a copy of a copy of a copy and it seems like everything is trying really, really hard to be like WoW in it's ease and popularity. That isn't to say Bioware will be guilty of this, but it's hard to be different without suffering from "OMG THATS NOT WOW" anymore.

Drag Me to Hell was hilarious. I think Raimi will do well with Warcraft.

Unfortunately PVP sells MMOs. Bioware would be shooting themselves in the foot if they didn't include an expansive PVP platform from the start. I think it will be just like WoW or even SWG in it's grandeur. I am just hoping they give a clear, easy choice for those of us who don't really like PVP a choice form the start ala WoW or just make it similar to SWG where you had you choose anytime you wanted to PVP but without the possibility of getting dead when you go "overt" when you attack an NPC. "Forced" PVP like WoW isn't my cup of tea.

For being the size those are, a lot of them are pretty awesome. I could do without the camera angle bleeding together 14 different models though.

OH YEAH. I got banned from robotech.com too. Perhaps less than a month after it went live. I said "blah blah blah something Macross World etc, etc" and was done.

I got banned from the Star Wars Galaxies forums a few different times until they threatened in-game consequences. Lots of gamer 'kids' like to latch onto anything with a vagina and when it started to affect things in-game I called them on it. It more or less snowballed from there. More than a few times from counter-strike clan forums for really not giving a damn. Once from my WoW servers forums for posting a ytmnd about someone from a rival guild. Nothing serious and never anywhere it really mattered. If I ever want to get into it here, I generally find something else to do. I like it here. =)

I like how that Aerialbots design is much like the original toy.

That picture is pretty cool imo. It shows a lot of detail for each of the vehicles and they aren't anywhere near as distorted as the rest of the transformers are.

I think Cooper would've been a better cast. Hal loses slightly on the badass factor to Kyle, but is still awesome. John Stewart: Feh.

This link made my AVG anti-virus go apesh*t. Careful.

Damn you Tak. You went and got me all excited. But NOOOOOoooooo it's just a starter thread. </3 LOOK WHAT YOU DID.

Hi. Multiple friends with different schedules. All a different excuse to see it again.
