IIRC Faye's family was also well off and beta is better than VHS but just not as practical for the common consumer. I used to have the DVD box set but I upgraded to the much smaller and compact "Cowboy Bebop Remix: Anime Legends". I think it even has better audio but I don't have a sound setup for my TV. Episode 2: Stray Dog Strut has a Kareem-Abdul Jabbar look-alike

Just got mine yesterday (came SAL). Haven't had a chance to open it yet but the box art isn't too shabby Cant wait to put some FPs on it!

I'm tired of the time travel I wish they would stop with that already. I thought the lesbianism was already showcased in some of the previews/trailers?

Very specifically in Waltz For Venus Roco claims he "flowed like water" which is a Bruce Lee reference. Jupiter Jazz 1&2 happen to be my favourite episodes of the series although pretty much every episode is fantastic in it's own way.

In the PC version normal has 50% friendly fire and in the console version supposedly easy and normal have 0% but I can't confirm that because I don't own that version If you use Leliana (which I do) she's more useful for all her utility skills including in combat. There's still a few bow skills I need (scattershot) but I always use her Song of Valor (stamina/hp regen song) and I have her use critical shot/arrow of slaying on a stoned target (usually a mage) for instant death. Dirty fighting/distraction/pinning shot are all good for helping protect your casters as well. Then you've got crippling shot and shatter shot for debuffs. I've been meaning to try out Captivating Song but I haven't needed to as of yet. I wouldn't use a PC rogue archer personally as it kind of boring auto attacking and being so far from combat but they have their uses even if they don't do 1337 damage. I think Bioware's team is still considering additional Dex fixing measures so they may eventually make Rogues better or worse but I'm unsure of all the specifics. -
Make it so. A few more

That's why I make a multitude of saves in different slots at different points in gameplay. Hopefully it will be as easy as going back a save and going through it again if the outcome is really bad or changes the world a whole lot. Do any of the achievements even have any tangible benefits in this game? Well besides unlocking classes. At least Mass Effect gave you reasons to play over to get all the bonuses. I'm up to 7(?) Revenants now btw. Much quicker and less hassle with better armour and weapons. -
I dunno I learned Hikikimori from reading the news and taking Japanese language classes. Same way I know what Karoshi means and Wakai Tsubame. No need to be offended if you watch the stuff it was never intended to directly describe the quality of the programming and it wasn't an argument it was a statement. Everything there is mainstream because it's been on Western television with the exception of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I've assumed that's mainstream because I 'm constantly inundated by it both online and offline by third parties. Otaku in Japan does not have the same connotations it has grown to have in the Western world. It's extremely condescending and Hikikimori is worse and a serious mental health condition.

I'm pretty sure #5 is a Dom and as mentioned #6 is a Zaku. #3 is Jigen from Lupin I believe. #7 is Saiyan armour from DBZ and #8 should be Freeza. Last one looks familiar but not something I've looked at or watched but maybe something I've seen a meme of somewhere. None of these seem particularly obscure. Being all mainstream crap I'd assume this is actually a test to see if you're wapanese/weeaboo not Otaku/hikikomori.

Consoles are quickly encroaching on the reliability issues most people associate with PCs. 360 has red rings of death and PS3 has yellow lights of death, buggy firmware updates, adverts on your desktops and at launch if you put the effort out to find deals you could build a PC sans monitor, keyboard, mouse etc for about their price. Heck most newer tv's even accept monitor inputs or video cards have HDMI outputs. Consoles are basically essential for software from JPN as anything I'm interested from that region is rarely ported to a PC. Given a choice though for anything FPS related the mouse is king for aiming hands down. Not to mention most the games just run better on my PC. Borderlands for instance is way clearer on my PC than 360 and the "fog of war" so to speak of the draw distance(?) is not nearly as bad. Fighting games and racing games should stay in the arcade IMO but that's not going to happen obviously as arcades are dying. Play for those genres on consoles and PCs is really lacking without some really great and possibly expensive peripherals. -

I went back after finishing the Tower and with a few more stat points and much better armour for my PC (tank) it took a few tedious minutes but I felled the Revenant even with the mages doing Zero damage. Morrigan's frost would still slow/freeze. His drops were lackluster to say the least. Sten's kind of odd. I went through a whole sequence of dialogue with him figuring I did poorly and I'd have to reload and like *poof* +22 or something. Usually I'd get +1/2 or zero before that. -

Oh my, although her expression makes it look like someone just made an off-color comment I've been playing for a bit on normal and although the game is by no means bad the combat system and the tool tips leave a lot to be desired. I'm actually pretty disappointed as I'd come to expect a better product than this from Bioware but I guess that's my fault for having any expectations going in. I actually did the Brecilian forest first which apparently is out of order, even when they claim to have made a non linear game! Supposed to be a 7+ area apparently... Anyone kill the Revenant in the Mage Tower? My PC is a tank, leiliana (archer), Wynne (healer) and Morrigan (frost/CC). I'm lvl 10 and magic attacks seem to do zero damage to him and show as "immune". I could slowly melee/arrow him to death but I'd waste a lot of potions. Can I come back to the tower to fight him after I clear it? For right now I've moved up to the fade part. I've been avoiding FAQs for spoilers. In regards to the epic dialogue, I already had a very cheeky dialogue option in a conversation with Morrigan when my Mabari warhound placed a putrid hare in her pack with her unmentionables. I won't spoil it for anyone though Have to love Claudia Black. I get the impression much like Richard Dean Anderson and Bruce Campbell she doesn't so much play characters as she acts as herself. I have to tip my proverbial hat to her because I was going to pass on the romance angles until I heard her voice acting and to a lesser degree her interaction(s) Alistair. -
I wouldn't be so quick to assume HLJ is selling these now to liquidate web exclusives Yamato can't sell off although that's definitely possible. I'm sure HLJ has received emails on many occasions inquiring if they would carry some of these items and maybe they have finally come to some sort of agreement that will assist those of us without JPN addresses in obtaining some of these items. I will not be buying any of the currently available items (other than the unpainted 1S) but I'm thankful to have the opportunity without having to jump through a lot of hoops.

Obviously the subject is usually omitted in Japanese, especially in casual conversation. What's curious is if the question mark is really there to represent か and if so it would read more like "doesn't it" because it's a negative. Of course if you look at the other line art around the web none of it I have seen is indicative of such a GERWALK feature.

Not to minimize it but a Million yen is only like $11,000. That's about the cost of a decent motorcycle for instance. Just makes you wonder how large the rest of the associated development costs were.

Kinryu is just so much GAR. Docker was a pretty poor replacement by comparison. Of course I'd still love me a Yamato Blazer Valk.
-
Yamato already did the VF-X2 colour scheme VF-19A in the 1/72 scale as a repaint of the YF-19. Go check out Mr. March's Macross Mecha Manual and compare the pics for yourself.

Contrary to what HLJ emailed me previously they now have the unpainted 1S for preorder Preordered!

That Sharon is probably the "best" Sharon ever M7 of varying quality...

Help me Choose my Next Purchase

The fatty kit did look nice and I think it came with a mellowlink(?). I've avoided Votoms model kits personally and just stuck with the AGs and a Yamato (The floppy, fiddly and loose old one.), so I can't really give hands on advice. -
That would be "awesome". Maybe you could do like a MOSPEADA toy roundup for your site? I have the Yellow and Shinobu ride armors and they're pretty disappointing in my opinion. I only really got them to go along with the CM trading figures that are coming out. Oh the the trading figures have been pushed back btw
-
Never ceases to amaze me. I'm not sure how people make time to do this kind of work let alone understand the level skill of skill required.
-
A round trip flight to Japan without being discounted would cost me about 2 grand. Jus sayin Although the price point is above and beyond my ability to justify and it's not something I was ever really interested in buying.. I can't wait to see what people do with these.
-
Finally got my TV Kakizaki and surprisingly I love the damn thing. I even busted out my MP Ben just to compare the awesomeness! Soon I'll have the whole TV crew. Hopefully Yamato will do a Roy TV style if and when they issue one with the shoulder fix. Now to order my TV FPS...

Please excuse me if any of these have already been posted I went through most the pages...
