I was suppose to get the FM4 demo disc from Square/Enix since I'm a member...but heh guess I wont get one gah.

Well it's odd, see, I had painted the leggings....or intake covers which ever you wanna call it, not a jet expert. After the paint had dried, some areas weren't even so I thought if I sanded off the paint a bit I could make it a bit more even. Well the sandpaper I got is that wet/dry type which my friend gave me at work a few months ago when I was working on a Mitsubishi LanEvo. So I wetted the sandpaper and brushed it against the cover pieces and rubbed it enough the paint was coming off, but some how the paint stayed sunk into the panel lines, I'd take a picture if I could, digicam is broken for good. I repainted over it sadly so no way I can show it again, but it was very interesting to me that it happened. Talked to my friend Tim about it, and he thought it sounded cool along with the idea of painting the pieces black, than sanding off the paint and still keeping the black painted lines...just a theory I had. I made a very large mistake when I was painting the upper half of the arms on my VF-1 today, I didn't mask it all (I only got clear tape) and painted the whole thing red by mistake...so I'm gonna have to wait for it to completely dry, and either strip the red off the arms or mask the shoulders off and repaint the arms back to it's Matt white look... Anyways, The head unit's been painted, I had a mistake on the thrusters so I had to sand off a bit of the paint and touch it up, should be done by now, the paint dries really quick. Parts of the intake valves are painted but I'm gonna have to mask those off so I can paint the rest of the body...also painting the rear wings, it should look very cool if it came out right...which reminds me I gotta switch sides so I can get the other ends coated. I'm using Italian red, which isn't very bright but gives it a VERY rich red tone which I like...and it doesn't cover up the panel lines compared to TESTOR's red spray paint. I'm using ALL Tamiya paint wohoo! cost me 20 bucks!

I discovered something really odd lastnight when I was working on my VF-1A. As I was sanding off some dried out parts from some paint, as I was using the wet sand paper, it started to rub off the paint (no surprise for me) but what caught my attention were the panel lines were VERY highlited once you got off enough of the paint you could see the panel lines much better, (You still can, just not as well as you should). So little red lines were all over and I was like, "DAMN! If this works, I should have used black first >< crap!" But probably would not work in the long run. But I finished the gunpod coloring, working on the intake covers, finished the head piece...it was a Jack Archor custom but I said to hell with it and I'm faking it as I go along. But a bit of a question, since I've colored it first, there's no way to highlite the panel lines now is there?

Jesus man, you're making me feel bad since I finally got up and running on my VF-1A....now I feel as if it'll be nothing compared to yours...heh it probably wont be anything compared to yours.

Yes all these characters do exist in the Gundam timeline...I'll try and help you out with the ones I do know... Yuu Kojima makes an appearance in the manga adaption of gundam called "Blue Destiny" there were also Sega Saturn games based around the manga, I believe there were two games....you pretty much get the basis of what it is, but originally the Blue Destiny was infact a ground combat RGM-79 with the EXAM system installed...it's almost like the Zero System, where your skills improve to be like that of an artifical newtype from what I've gathered. But in conclusion, you never see him in any of the Gundam series besides Blue Destiny. Chima, no one knows exactly about her past, it was never discussed in the 0083 series at all, and you ONLY see her in the 0083 series. For all we know she could of only shown up during the last months of the war like Amuro and the others. Johnny Riden, I wanna say he was in the side story game...but I'm not 100% sure I doubt he was. I think I saw model kits dating WAY back of his odd looking Gelgoog...someone else is gonna need to look him up more. Shin Massunaga, I've actually never heard of him, someone else might of but not me...I never recalled him from any of the shows so he's either a video game or manga character. The Thuroughbred characters are just in the game...they never made any appearances at all in the Gundam shows of the UC timeline. The game is great, I don't mind the lack of combat missions one bit, but what got to me was the fact the american release did not go online like the japanese release did. Since the japanese one is online based, you could download new mobile suits, before the game came out here in the states, the Strike and Aegis Gundams from SEED were up, and they managed to get those two in before american's ship date pretty easily. But still, would of loved it to be online also. I didn't li ke the develop your piloting skills quest...they were just....annoying at times.

The commercial breaks really screwed up my recording as well, espically the very last one. Cuts to commercial, than the CG stuff comes back on but goes to ANOTHER commercial again, so I thought "Okay this is like back in the old days...either the show will just come back on or they'll just be smart and show another CG...." Nope, they cut right back into the show I missed TWO scenes that night....I was PISSED!

I'm staying away from that fansub 0_o very very far away.

Did you guys notice they edited the sounds also? Machine Gun fire was replaced with something of like a silencer laser pistol on rapid fire...there were no echo like sounds like a normal gun would produce, and the effect would be cut off suddenly. Also notice that at the end when Kira and Rameriz are suppose to be shouting at eachother from height distance, they are talking pretty casual like. Instead of, "HEY! GET DOWN HERE!" "THAT'S OKAY! NO THANKS!" it was more, "Hey...get down here." "That's okay, no thanks.".................I REALLY hate that.....I didn't like the dub that much at all....neither did any of my friends, we were pretty much going, "We could do so much better..." so we'll see.

I think I'll stick to the alternator.........whenever the hell he comes out

God it looks so sweet, I can't wait for it to come out I'm gonna go nuts all over it like I did on 4!

My friends got an Xbox, modded the hell out of it, it looks sorta cool. I've considered getting one after the price drop, since it's not affordable. But I may go with a used system instead like I did with my game cube...its just difficult cause there aren't many games I wanna play on the Xbox...but there are games none the less I'm willing to play...the beauty of renting.

I was looking around and stumbled upon some megaman stuff...yeah I'm actually that bored. Anyways, I'm into megaman since I was just a little kid....and I thought heh I'll look at some Megaman. Than I started checking out the latest version, NT Warrior or EXE. I've played a few of the games, hell currently playing one on the Gamecube. I stumbled upon what looks to be a PET, or NetNavi, an honest to god PET. There are two versions, a black and red but from what I'm reading there are other versions out just a bit different. They don't look like the normal PET system like in the series, these look like those old Digipets back in the mid 90's. Supposively you train your PET to do battles, and you even got a selection of Battlechips (not sure if there are like "Booster Packs" to buy to get better chips or what) and you plug your PET probably with another PET and duke it out using these battlechips. That's what I've gathered up so far...I had an idea long time ago when I first heard about PET's that maybe having something like that would be really cool. You could get your email, or voice messages, check out message boards, jack into the net using a DSL line connection blah blah blah and of course they wouldn't be cheap...they'd probably be a couple hundred bucks or something like that...but it'd be something anyone could buy, not just a lil kid. Not too mention it couldn't go out of fashion like the latest game craze cause of the fact you can do just about anything on this like a portable computer. I don't think these PET's can do that...don't think it can really do much of anything besides battle and learn minor stuff...but apparently these are "HOT ITEMS" and go from 50-60 bucks a pop...heh.

Okay I just found a place...this thread can be closed or what not.

0_o I'm nearly 21 years old I sort of take offense to that comment. I'm a yugi nut like alot of my other GRAUDATED FROM HIGHSCHOOL friends All I wanna know is where I can get the DVD besides ebay...that's all....

I saw them at the Gamestop I stop at, laughed my ass off the whole time, "VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM VVAROOOOOOOM RRRRRRRRRRR VROOOOOM!" "Wha the hell are you doing?" "Practicing for Project Gothem racing." "Your not gonna make those lame sounds during the game also are you?" "Hmmm...I might" "Oh christ...."

Need help in finding Yu-Gi-oh! the movie on DVD, I've seen it on Ebay, but I really don't wanna get it from there, I've had alot of bad experinces using ebay so I stay away as much as possible. So I was wondering if anyone knew a place I could just put it on my card and such...I've only got a fansubbed version but I got a lil project I'm wanting to work on and need the movie....any bit of help is great...thanks in advanced.

True the dub doesn't sound that great, but really I feel like th ey just waisted a big amount of cash doing yet ANOTHER dubbed version of part one...but maybe it'll be a bit more faithful to the original version...who knows. But hey nothing wrong with "And getting laid alllll summer"

It's hard for me to get online with my PS2, easy with my 56K backup modem, but when I wanna use my DSL I get a bad connection...sucks for me. I've only played Everquest and Need for Speed online, I never tried it yet with SOCOM II cause I dont like the game.....thank god I bought it used. I think I might, RENT Resident Evil OB, but I'm not that interested in the games anymore...it's always prequal upon prequal...it gets old....

lol I remember looking at pictures and thinking to myself, "Great detail, but can't be that big really..." When I got to gamestop the manager lady went under the table and kinda huffed and puffed and slammed it on the table with a lil "CLANG!" at the end. My mouth was like Coulda you know what with a brick fallin down. I was totally at amaze by it....It's just so damn big, and it's sorta heavey....maybe good 5 or 6 pounds.

I could never get into Kill Bill if I wanted to watch a slaughter I'll go to a slaughter house you know? I'm not a big Tarintino fan...he's just..he's almost like a white version of Spike Lee with bad acting skills...somewhere somehow he's got some little part in all his films and mostly dies in the middle of it.

I got my prime yesterday, love it, but I'm pretty po'ed it wasn't Takara...and I lost 90 bucks of instore credit at Gamestop when I couldah gotten it else where for 70...so I'm pissed on that....but didn't loose anymoney so oh well. Also, I hated the fact the smoke stacks were cut down...so I gotta get those replaced cause it looks sorta dumb...but all in all he goes well with my Sideswipe and Smokescreen.

I personally like the Energon Megs for the simple look of being unique...he's never been a "bomber" before....and personally I'm sorta sick of the tank look, he's had it for over 10 years...he needed another change. Though he looks like Galvatron, he shouldn't be called Megatron...need to move on...

Ami chan is really cute when evil I think ....though I dont' really like her outfit, just looks like they hotglued a few things to her original outfit....she should be like all black or somethin like that. But saturday's episode was sweet I thougth Rei-chan has a very cute singing voice and I wish I couldah heard more!

I think because we were so use to peace time after WWI that no one really wanted to go recruite to even be a pilot...compared to now-a-days. I mean it does take alot of brain work I think to pilot the aircrafts we have today, it's not like you can be Ben Affleck say you can't read or do math but HEY! it's just a 30 million dollar piece of equipment how hard can it really be?!

I apologize for my comment, but we should see the 95% completed project instead of the torso, part of the head and half the lower leg. I've also seen just alot of projects just go to the scrapper and they were REALLY into making what ever it is. Now as for the Zeta Gundam just showed, that is a master piece all on it's own, that's the one I was talking about where people can actually climb inside of it and sit in the torso...but I think it was a 1/3rd scale...but still pretty big.
