Hey speaking of Megazone........anyone heard about what's going on with the supposive TV deal they were going to do? I remember it was a year ago when it was brought up.

You wont, I'm gonna try for you, the fans of the series, to have some of the best VA's I can find...I've got a few already preselected, and I'm gonna have them hammered on their lines hard core... I've got over 15 minutes of the movie scripted, and I've recieved 1/4th of the Voices for Episode 2 of M0...it looks like it'll be delayed a bit.

lol love their disclaimer on the box "This is not a game rendition of Dawn of the Dead" Nope, cause we have a photographer stuck in a mall! BIG DIFFERENCE! Hah.....I'll play it in a lil bit....just subtitles are a bit hard to see during game play, really fuzzy.

Well I want to wait till this comes out on DVD next year to chant let it die or not....

Dead Rising is actually so far early on an interesting game. First 15 minutes you're in a helicopter and taking photographs, the more stuff you got going on in the photos the more points you gain. There's an excellent shot I took of this woman on a roof top shooting some zombies but one of them tackles her, I got the tackle as she's on the edge of the roof and then the big SPLAT! Then in the mall when the doors cave in I went "Wha the hell why not" and got a nice centered photo of all the zombies running at me......I got a "PERFECT" score on it with BIG points before one of the zombies came chargin at me to kill me. I ended up ditching everyone to save my own ass.

Ya know last week i was thinking to myself "What's going on with the new highlander movie?".....07 is such a long ways away.

Just picked up Dead Rising today at work, 59.99 retail, on sale for 49.99, good price if I say so myself...can't wait to play it, looks so good.

I saw some sort of a screen cap of Optimus Prime's "Ankle" dangling from a crane during a shoot......I dunno what to think now.

Now wasn't there a Radio Controled Zaku that could shoot beebee's and had a real cheap Digital camera on the mono eye or something and the controler could watch on one of those tiny screens what the Zaku would see? I remember hearing something about that a few years back, I know of a RC Dom...but I'm pretty sure it was a Zaku I heard about.

I was asked by a few people recently on how Macross DYRL was goign too be approached. So I thought I'd fill you guys in too case you were interested. 1) DYRL is a very long process, there's so much dialouge that if I printed out the script once it was finished, it'd probably be over 100 pages at best. Almost like a lil mini novel. 2) Zentradie language is hard to desifer and then put it down on paper on what's actually being said, or how it's pronounced. I try to take the words being said and make them sound like how they are pronounced, not just spelled out. But if I can get an audio sample up of my Breetia/Exadore scene I'll show ya how hard it is. 3) Vocal effects, this range from Helmet effects, Radio transmissions, loud speakers, hanger echo and even Zentradie Vocals....I have to do those in a very odd way, make them very echoie and then have one over lap the other slightly...so it gives it that good lasting echo. 4) SFX's are hard, we're talking about specific old 70-80's style sounds, so what I'm going to be doing, and if someone wants to help that'd be great...go thru my animEgo DVD's, rip them without the vocals and then go thru EACH episode and time stamp every usable sound I can get. Course there will be moments where I can use the original DYRL track cause of no vocals or that I have the correct music. 5) Voices, there are alot of voices, even for minor roles, I'm gonna try to pull all my resources and get as many of them as possible to form a crowd talking, or Zentradie yelping as they die, ect etc....it'll be easier finding Meltrandie voice actresses then it will for Zentradie voices. I've pretty much got a many cast going, but I got a few more roles that need to be filled, such as an Exadore, Hayao, Bridge Bunnies, etc etc. So yeah that's pretty much in short what I'm going to be doing for DYRL....lots of attention to detail on this one to make it look like the original. Oh I was also asked if I was going to be using Rick, Lisa, Ben names cause they'd rather hear those then the originals....I slapped them over the head for you guys.

Gotta love it when they're blunt and to the point huh?

Yeah I noticed that too, and I tried to fix that like 12 times, it pissed me off how it goes down..........then it goes back up........then it goes down.........and JUST when you think it's over, it goes back UP....I've tried lowering down the music, and even upping the vocal track, it still would happen no matter what I did, it pissed me off. But thanks for the interest thus far, I've had one guy in there just claiming "It's bad".....comments like that on youtube on my projects get quickly deleted like one fart head who said I was taking the Teknoman episodes and just redubbing them and episode 1 was actually episode 2 or was it episode 2 was episode 1.....it was something to effect of my comment later being "Childern this is why we don't smoke crack. You don't know any better regardless, so let's just f it up even more for you" Episode 2 is going slow but I think we can still hit the target mark of the end of August. I got my Nora lines finished, but she'll have 1 redo to do. The guy playing Ivanov is doing his rather well, he should be finished at some point. It's Roy Fokker's VA and Edgar's that I'm worried about the very most....they're both very very busy....oh and Sara and Mao....both of them are very busy since Mao's VA is Pregnant and having a hard time coaping with that and work. And me, I've broken my mic, so I gotta hunt for a similar model to what I was using cause it was by far one of the best ones I've had.

Interesting when I see my friend I'm gonna ask her if she was called in for some auditions for it or not.

First movie I loved, second one I avoided like it was some horrible plague......this one......my stomach feels icky, I think I'm gonna go throw up.

Good point, there's almost no point in making a 1/60 scale when you can finally take the benefits of those 1/60 scales and now place them into the 1/100 Master Grades like we've been seeing in several kits in the last 2 years.

I think I was 3 when the movie came to theaters, but I was 4 or 5 when I saw it on TV where they had one of those big premier specials with the gigantic optimus prime and that kid....I have it on tape but I missed the first 4 minutes of it.

Many voice actors who worked under ADV apparently have quit from what I've been told by those who have noticed VA's moving over to other companies who are VA's themselves......wait....yeah. This is partially why ADV is releasing alot of the same shows in different box sets and styles in hoping to attract fans back by slashing prices and making the product looking more appealing. This apparently has been an issue for ADV for well over a year now that they just aren't making any money and many people are just leaving their corperation. This would also explain why we hear alot of the same actors, producers, and mixers in alot of the new anime we've been seeing. I think this was also a reason why ADV never picked up Shadow Chronicles, it's an unknown anime to most of the public and would take a pounding if it couldn't sell. Not too mention it's been long over a year since Guyver came out and ADV has YET to release it in the states.

Well you've only seen the first 6 episodes, you've yet to see the large changes of the series such as different zoanoids, a deeper look into the origins of the Guyver, Sho coming to grips with the fact that the Guyver Cloned him after his death making him believe he's not the original sho, or Agito's true intentions on keeping sho around. But then agian you're not gonna get anywhere near to knowing the truth since all the fansub groups stopped in the early teens for no reason.

Depends on what subtitles you're talking about? I thought Anbu-AOne did a great job on the subbing, I base my script off them....if you're talking about the HK DVD's then yeah, they did a decent job in Episode 1 and 5, but 2,3,4 were very off... Heres a picture of the DVD of Volume 1.

I saw the diecast Megatron at a toysrus few days ago, 14.99 isn't a bad price but I skipped out cause I thought he looked a bit "flat" if that makes sense. Anyways here's some pictures I took in the last few days. BW10th AV Megatron BW10th AV Primal Optimus Prime/Nemesis in box Optimus Prime Vehicle Mode Optimus Prime Robot Mode Nemesis Robot Mode Nemesis and Prime Robot mode Also didn't notice this till recently, if you look at Nemesis Liscenes plate it says California July 2006, a ComicCon exclusive mark.

Kurisama you're not the only one, I got scuffs, and scratches on Prime's bumper and faceplate and it pisses me off that he turned out so crappy of a paint job compared to Nemesis. My Prowl is almost simpilar, he's got a paint smudge and a few splotches like they hand painted areas of him cause they forgot at the last second.

Yes that first unicron looks like a beach ball with limbs. As for Prime yeah he is sort of a floppy mess sadly. Also mine seems to be sort of defective, he's got scratch marks on his face plate, a scuff or something below the right bumper, and the entire front bumper pops out of it's place during transformation. And yes, the legs have a hard time pulling out and espically pushing back in. It's more of a pain in the ass for Nemesis then it is Prime.... Nemesis has tighter joints, but he's still got floppy leg syndrom like Prime.

I got Prime and Nemesis today, I've got some pictures but I wanna take some better ones.

If I remember right, at some point the Beast Wars storyline was going to reintroduce Unicron...I remember they had a prototype sculpt of him but it never came to be.....

Yeah I'm really gonna miss the guy, he was very entertaining may his soul rest with Crom.
