Yeah I can agree to that being waspinator, my friend, Then things got a bit heated, I told him he's a retard he'll accept anything cause he's a corperate media baby and he put me on block like a lil pussy would after loosing a debate.

As childish as it seems I got into an arugement for the last hour with a buddy of mine on the designs for the movie...I even made an experiment. See my problem with the movie designs is simple, in all of the transformers history of characters, you could have a character we'll say prime......in all of the prime's out there, you could look at prime and go "Wow he's a semi" or "He turns into some vehicle that's big!" That was because in his robot form he carried some sort of a "vehicle" characteristic to him.... Now you look at bumble bee, you look at his robot mode and you see how he's got the characteristic of a VW Beetle.........then you look at this live action version which is a camero and go "Huh? where the hell could you believe he could turn into that?" My friend then just quotes "ROBOTS IN DISGUISE DUMBASS!" I quote back "Okay, so you're saying all the transformers before this have been done incorrectly and are a sham?" His response "I just accept this with an open mind!" So I gave him a picture of the starscream we've all been seeing and go "Okay you accept this as Starscream? Cause damn, that looks NOTHING like him." His response was "YEAH! I totally see him!" ".........are you on crack?" So I gave the picture to someone else who's a transformers fan I asked "So who does that look like to you?" "Ummm.....like a BW's head on an air plane." "So you can accept that as being Waspinator maybe?" "Yeah I think I can go with that" Now I could accept that star scream design as either being B.B. for his characteristics of the rail guns and bulky body, Waspinator cause he does have an insect like look to him espically the head.......but Starscream? That really makes me go "WTF?" .....anyone nelse agree?

Well Episode 2 is going extremely slow, I finished up the mixing for the scene between Ivanov and Nora in the sub for a test to show you guys....buuuuuuuttttttttttttttttt.......the person doing the special vocal effects hasn't done the piece....so nothing. Macross DYRL is going well though, I'm almost half way done with the movie's scripting which is surprisingly going very smoothly...the only thing I'm gonna really nit pick on besides vocals is the Zentran/Meltran dialect....I'm having a real hard time listening in and typing it up....I almost gotta have my head phones on at top volume and repeat a single sentence for 10 minutes.

I'm pretty dissapointed I doubt those are ploys to make ppl pissed then over joyed when the movie comes out and it's intirely different. The thing that makes me mad the most is that you wouldn't have a clue those are the characters (cept for prime) unless the name was attatched to it. I mean damn they couldn't even keep the headstyles right.....they look like insects or reject live action movie Guyver monster head shots.

They don't? I know Pearl Harbor sucked, but I thought Armageddon was actually a good movie even if it had Ben in it...I dunno, I think we could be surprised.

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.
