I stumbled upon Mace Windu's today while I was purchasing some accessory pieces for my 360. Thus it hit me, "Should I or shouldn't I?" I hear bad things about the Windu saber, but yet, here it is, right infront of me, easy pickings. So I crossed some things off my current 360 list and went ahead buying the Windu Saber. Sadly it wasn't for another 6 hours I got to open it up and put in the batteries I ripped off from work. While the sound effect quality is pretty piss poor against the Anakin ROTS saber, I thought this thing was suppose to look more like a white blade instead of Purple? I see plenty of purple when I turn it on, and even the camera picks up the purplness...I thought the saber was rather nice, and a great add to my collection of FX goods. So, I've got 3 sabers down, and when 2006 rolls around, I'm sure to add more.

I'll be surprised if SONY has playable software available, they didn't have anything new at the Tokyogame show few weeks ago. And also, didn't know Most Wanted was going out in Xbox as well, thought it was a 360 only release cause all I've heard for racing is Need for speed for 360 : / and that there are Xbox demo and 360 screen shots comparing the video quality of the two systems. I went too Gamestop, preordered my sixth 360 game, Ridge Racer, a second wireless controler and plugandplay recharge kit.

Hey they can do what ever the hell they want as long as its better then Resident Evil and Mortal Kombat. If it means having a CGI'ed Master Chief so be it. But with how fans can make thier own costumes of Master Chief, I almost feel like movie makers are being lazy for effort. And as for Starwars ROTS, for a movie like that, you needed CGI at an abundence.....maybe during space battles and city shots, but the fact that nearly every set was green screen with minor props was a bit of a bitch.

okay, clarifying. On Nov 2005 Disc #50, there is a playable version of Need for Speed Most Wanted, you have 4 cars to choose from, 2 of them are the RX-8 just different colors with 3 playable levels...a Tollbooth level, Drag Race and Sprint mode. After each race your pretty much in a race for your life for a minute and a half against a horde of cops. Also in the disc includes LA Rush, Land of the Dead, Marvel Nemesis, NCAA football 2006, and Starwars Battlefront II. The need for speed is suppose to be a dumbed down Xbox playable of the 360 game. In ANOTHER Xbox magazine, they have two screen shots of Most Wanted, one from the Demo game from what I understand which has a somewhat blurry picture of two cars going at it, and the other, same picture but 360's rendition which has higher clarity and resolution etc. If anyone needs too I can scan pictures of this for evidence, no problem. I also continued reading, it seems EA's developers are pretty much copying Midnight Club 3 by adding a bullet time effect during gameplay and having tollbooth racing which is going from one booth to the next within a certain amount of time. EA's race team also dropped a few fun races like Drift Competitions which were big selling points for Need for Speed. But like I said, if anyone needs anything, lemme know, I can scan what ever you need.

I'm not happy about having to remove pieces to transform it, and the fact that its larger then the 1/48's so that makes a good chance of it being more expensive....I'm starting to get really picky about things lately and this is certaintly one of 'em. I'm passin up on this one.

Yep, noticed that too. A friend of mine bitched on why it was so expensive, I told him that's how they price things in Japan and he felt sorry for alot of the people who would actually spend THAT much money on a single DVD, or CD or anything. I told him, "Well don't eat a big mac in Japan."

They were actual playable demo's for the 360, but I think the only 360 game was Need for Speed, the rest are up coming or already released Xbox games like the Marvel Nemesis and StarWars Battle Front II.

I think the woman I had as Minmay's aunt was maybe british, but she also played the boy, so I don't know.... I have ONE more dub from Episode 2 where I had another girl playing Minmay instead....can't find the link. It was actually interesting to do the scenes cause I had so many people who had never EVER seen Macross except one person. She's a professional actress with FUNImation who I do alot of fandubbing projects with. She is a huge Macross fan and likes playing as Minmay. I had her do a test scene where she's chewing out the kid for wanting another soda, she did really well, and in some respect, much nicer then Reba West. I also had another Roy Fokker who was just about perfect and he was a member here at one point. We tackled one full scene and that was that. I've gone thru 4 Minmays, and 3 Roy Fokker's, its hard to keep a group together. I even had a semi pro do Shin Kudou's voice for the opening of Macross Zero, then he was never seen again.

I stumbled upon the DVD for movie 1 on yesasia.com, they want almost 63 bucks for the DVD, talk about your over kill.

I just got a demo disc with some 360 games and one of them was Need for Speed Underground Most Wanted and my jaw just dropped on how great it was. The controls could use a bit of tuning, which I hope will happen in the actual game, I had alot of problems turning. But after you beat each level you get chased by a horde of cops, even during your race you'll here reports that they're after you. Then you got a minute and a half which feels like 10 minutes of where nothing but cops are trying to get you and trust me they will TRY....its not one of those Grand Theft Auto deals where the cops are just morons, these guys were smart. I had a real tough time shaking them. When I felt like I lost one, 4 more came in its place and wanted to run me down! I can't wait to get this game!

See, no one I think really knows why ZAFT had no real idea about Kira, Krueze had to did up information on himself in order to hate humanity so much. I think the Destiny plan was to go thru a single person's DNA, and find their "Perfect" traits, those traits would send those people to educational schools related to what they'd be perfect act and they fill those roles. Like if your genes say you'd make a good politican but your a janitor at some highschool, your wasting your talents. So instead they put you into educational programs to be a senator, or leader of a nation. And maybe that politican before you was made to be a janitor, tada here's your mop and bucket.

a friend of mine and I once worked on English lyrics for DYRL and actually had about 2 minutes of the song done and was using it as a piece for the DYRL dub trailer we were doing......wish I knew where that went too. I know we even did Zero-G Love at one point.

I don't know, I might have to scheme one off from ya

I just read the first issue of Shadow Chronicles, I almost laughed my ass off when Lisa survived that attack, I thought "ALRIGHT! FINALLY SOME DEATH!".......but alas, it didn't occur.

lol buttsexbox

Thanks, I was playing Hikaru, always wanted to be him. There were two girls playing Minmay, one of them is studying to become a professional and has worked in radio and commericals. The other is just a simple girl.

If these links get deleted off by the mods its fine, ppl can just PM me and I'll give it to them. But if your curious how a Dubbed Macross would sound, here's some scenes friends of mine and I did using AnimEgo's easteregg bonus. HIKURO'S MACROSS DUB 1 HIKURO'S MACROSS DUB 2 Both these links should still work, and I worked very hard on doing a decent job at these. But this would give you an idea of how it would sort of go. And I'm still continueing on doing these as sort of a demo reel to help me become a professional voice actor and make alot of you guys proud of SOME dubbed anime.

It's one of those moral deals and there's no wrong or right answer for it really. It's like a 9 year old buys Quake or Halo, or Grand Theft Auto, the kid is fully aware of what the game provides, violence and death, the retailer is aware of this, the parents at many times, are not. Parents don't put an influence on what their childern do, but they ARE aware nearly all video games are violent and should be banned in some fashion and thus we're stuck with nothing but mario You know, in some way, Mario is a violent game cause you step on animals or abuse them in some fashion, thus mario is banned. Its the childs fault for taking a game into reality and translating a game material to his or her interactions in the real. That's my opinion. If kids just plain and simply say they're insane, they keep their lives but only harm them selves by being neglected from public attention. But atleast they wouldn't hurt anyone else.

I think I remember Sega Saturn as being not that bad, personally I felt the Dreamcast was the system that was the final mark for Sega. Now you talk about Wireless from a third party source, I'm talking about a Wireless from a FIRST PARTY SOURCE you freak. Microsoft's wireless controlers are from MICROSOFT, not LOGITECH, or WAVEBIRD, M I C R O S O F T. Everything for the 360 that is wireless is provided by M I C R O S O F T, not Third party. I'm positive Wireless third parties will even emerge, but my point is the system is to go wireless, PS2 is NOT wireless, Gamecube IS NOT wireless. Let's also be honest, SONY has NOT announced a RELEASE for the PS3 in Spring. They are having a NEWS CONFERENCE IN SPRING POSSIBLY ABOUT THE RELEASE OF THE PS3 IN 2006 Which could also change to an early date. They have also announced that much of the total feel and appearance of the PS3 AFTER E3 were concept designs. Microsoft went thru nearly 6 prototype designs before they revealed the final shape of the Xbox360. I'm sure SONY with the PS3 has had many changes as well BUT they have said they're at concept still, they are not final on the entire design. I don't care if SONY is going to wait and blow the freaking world away, I want to see what Microsoft can do in competition, and they seem to feel pretty cofident on their line. Let's not also forget Microsoft is almost immortal, they're a multibillion dollar industry that's linked with millions of other companies just like SONY. To say Microsoft will fall like Sega is none sense. $l-lU+ Y4Z +R4p! 4/\/l> l<rI 0/\/ Y4Z /\/\4/\/\4z $l-l0U[l>R! DISCUSSION OVER! ____________________________________________________________________ Now then back to Ridge Racer, I thought the PSP's design of the game was brilliant comapred to that of the DS. The graphics were clean, sharp, visually pleasing, overal it was very enjoyable to play. My favorite thing about Ridge Racer was the race playback. I loved seeing how I was drivin thru the course at high speeds pulling off amazing drifts at turns and how some moments I would be drifting and just SCREAMED past my opponents. Ridge Racer is gonna be right up there for high performance play with Need for Speed I think. My only thing is that Ridge Racer is pure high roller import cars while Need for Speed deals with more affordable in a way of vehicle racing. But still, Ridge Racer is great, I got no complaints over the title. I hope the tracks will be very curvy, and very long, I hope for great success with this series^_^

Personally I feel that not being able to play my "gems" even if they're over 10 years old does hurt me as a consumer. While a small design to fit in my pocket would be a huge benefit to being sneaked in school or work or where ever you feel possible, if I got some hankerin to play an oldie, I can't cause micro wont do it. I thought Nintendo was playing super smart there in the beginning, but to now phase its GBA system away from its past games is a let down. While there are alot of games out for the GBA system, I want substance to play my old games. That's how I feel about it, others can feel different, but I'm not impressed by the Micro. Infact, everything I heard from Nintendo has almost been a complete letdown except for the unique controler for the Revolution.

We mock you all the time don't we? atleast Microsoft gets first dibs into the wireless adventure circle and already has titles planned out for the next 4 years. Oh yeah, lets not also forget, Microsoft was the only one which had a solid release date which is only slightly over 30 days away... Where's SONY at this time? Why they're still working off concept designs cause their feelings got hurt over the boomer rang controler! Not too mention, the PS3 looks like George Formans grill but all chrome like......I think I'd like to see something different. But back on subject from insulting a moron who always inserts his foot so far in his mouth its out of his ass... ____________________________________________________________________ The game looks like it'll be pretty good, might go on my list.

I talked to the people I know at Gamestop, actually it was over 2 weeks ago that I finally got the word of it all. I was pretty dissapointed by the fact that Microsoft is having two versions of the 360, it reminded me very much of selling cars. You got your basic of the basics, no AC, Manual transmission, no CD player, and no Power windows. Then you got your sports variation, the high roller, Six Disc, Bose, bigger liter engine, Climate Control the works. Here we see a basic version of the 360, wired controler, subscription to Xbox magazine, and the system....not even a freaking memory card. Then you got the "standard" version for an extra 100 bucks, Wireless controler, 20Gig hardrive, Xboxlive Silver Membership, Enabled Xbox Live connection (if I remember right...) and all the connections for HDTV ready. So I told Sean (the guy I talk too alot at GS) and told him to put me down for the big mother load and for a few extra stuff, like a battery charger, an extra Wireless controler etc.etc. He looked at me going "Wow, what games you got on order now?" 1) Elder Scrolls 2) Need for Speed 3) DOA4 4) Call of Duty 5) Perfect Dark Zero I'm also thinking of putting it down for Quake IV, but I'm not sure, I haven't touched it since the original Quake so many years ago when i was in Elementary school I believe....wow I think the first FPS game I ever played was Wolfenstien. Since the system is making a midnight release, I put in a day off on the 22nd, gonna try and switch hours with my old man on that day so I get off work at 6 instead of 5, get a brand new TV, hook it up at home, take a quick nap, go pick up my friend from his place, drive 35 miles BACK to Portland, grab the 360 and head back around 2 AM and we're gonna have a DOA/Perfect Dark Zero, and N4SpMW burn out, we don't plan on going to sleep till maybe 2 PM : / we are gonna be seriously zonked out from all the gaming. I also got a magazine that had all this great info on the 360, I may try and get a faceplate for it, I thought the Carbon Fiber faceplate and this whicked Blue one I saw with White vynil on it looked sweet. Personally I'd want one of the E3 ones but no, that's too much. My friend and I are gonna strive to get the 360 up and running online too so we can do some Halo 2 and get the new maps. W00t! I'm so physced for November.

A month ago I picked up the new Blue DS, I love it to death cause blue is my favorite color. I almost picked up Nintendogs but everywhere I went was sold out cause of some pormotional deal that was going around or something the weekend prior to my purchasing. But I did get Yu-Gi-Oh! Nightmare Trabadour and like it. This is my second, yes SECOND DS cause I got rid of the original due to pixel problems and to put towards my PSP which is now coming out in White......dammit all. I took a look at the Micro and all I really gotta say is WHY? I mean, spend 30 dollars more, and you can DS and Advanced games while the Micro can only do Advanced......so why bother? Not too mention the screen is smaller and the overal size of this thing is tiny, its like Cell Phone generation for the GBA, I completely dislike it.

lol I trashed my box, I generally ruin it since I use one part to keep parts that haven't been soaked, and the other is where the soaked parts go so I can leave them to dry. But very interesting Color scheme, this is your second Strike kit now isn't it? I STILL havent bought the Aile Pack and I SO FREAKING NEED TOO! But for the next several months my money is gonna be so tight with the anime convention in Seattle, and my Xbox360 and in need of having a seamstress make me a cosplay outfit. But still, if I do come across some PG Kits, they're on my top of the list.

I thought Shannon did have her baby? I'm pretty sure she was on a delivery table in the med ward and everything, and the way they discussed it at the end was that she did have the baby.....then again, I've seen maybe 2 episodes of Season 2 cause I keep missing it do to my odd work schedules now.
