    Except there was only one cable bill. Now EVERYONE wants to bill you.

    Right. Gipsy Danger is an old, obsolete model. If form follows function, as it should for something that large and complex, it makes sense that Gipsy 2 would bear little resemblance to the original.

    Honestly, I think Gipsy 1 is more inspired by the oldschool Tetsujin and Mazinger era of robot design and Gipsy 2 is more modern Gundam style. Canonically, it is appropriate for a new Gipsy to resemble Striker Eureka more than Gipsy 1, but emotionally I really liked Danger and her presence will be missed.

    Nice! What front-end you usin' in that MAME cab? Liberator's an excellent choice. Doesn't get near as much love as it ought to.

    I had one of the purple invid too. Trufax: He got my ENTIRE box of Robotech toys thrown out when his arm fell out of its socket. Mom wanted me to throw out the broken toy, I argued it was loose and not broken(because it was awesome and like hell I was giving it up over a single loose arm socket), and a few minutes later she's telling me to throw out ALL my Robotech toys instead of just one and I quit arguing before she escalated things further. Joke's on her, my Max Sterling figure wasn't in the basket because I forgot to put him up and didn't know where he was at the time! We won't focus too hard on the things that WERE properly put away in that basket... I miss my little die-cast Phalanx destroid and those Southern Cross hoverboard things.

    I think it went something like this.... "Hey, we need to extend the ExoSquad toyline... we got any other plastic robot molds we can reissue?" "We still have those Robotech toys we made back in the 80s... and bizarrely, the license hasn't expired yet." "Do it. Don't care if it makes sense or not. Put the Robotech label on 'em too, see if we can't fan some nostalgia flames."

    This is, in a nutshell, the problem with subscription services. I could totally see myself paying to watch stuff "a la carte"(the old pay-per-view/Blockbuster model), but that's apparently not profitable enough. Particularly as I don't watch a huge amount of stuff. The binge-viewing model that makes a subscription a reasonable proposition is completely foreign to me.

    Man, I wish I'd known that. I have two copies of Ghost, the second was bought precisely so I could have two pages of naked ladies making out, I mean an uncensored edition. I failed in that goal. My first copy actually remains my go-to just because it's got a much nicer feel. Better paper, mostly. 'S getting a little tattered nowadays, though.

    Only games I own currently. I used to own Earthbound, but traded it away like the pile of crap it is. Man, that isn't a game room. That's a museum. Personally, I think anything you don't intend to leave hooked up doesn't count, because it becomes a big production any time you want to use it. With that large a collection, if you're actually using any of it the room will rapidly start looking like a video arcade. The complete collection nonsense is just collectors doing what collectors do: hoarding stuff for the sake of having it. Though there seems to be a fair bit of mean-spirited "I have something you don't have" that permeates the Nintendo collecting community. Only things I could imagine gathering a full set for is systems with small libraries, like the Vectrex or Virtual Boy. Maybe the Game.Com, but that'd mean that I had to play a Game.Com. If the system's library gets much larger than a dozen games it rapidly becomes just a big headache.

    That is my assumption, especially given how fast the MiNES was broken. Hopefully Nintendo didn't learn their lesson, or learned the WRONG lesson, now that there's something ACTUALLY WORTH DUMPING. Trufax: I own over half the games on the thing. (11/21)

    Scalpers will buy millions of them. They will never appear at retail no matter how many Nintendo makes. You are doomed.

    I think it was just the second film. And they didn't even use the awesome Arcee model from the first film's toyline.

    Top Gear: Definitely not Days of Thunder

    You're not wrong!

    It FEELS bigger just because of how bulky it is. 'S like a VF-1 that started bodybuilding and overdosed on steroids.

    Didn't watch the video, but there are LOTS of problems with lady robots.

    Zanac X Zanac! Holla!

    That's hot.

    Wouldn't they have to actually print some Macross the First before that? It's been on hiatus for what, two years now?
  20. JB0
    Actually, it was finished at the time and unreleased. Either due to concerns the Super Nintendo would compete with the Ultra 64(as it was known then) or fears people would compare it to the Playstation's 3D(I know, so stupid.

    http://www.nintendo.com/super-nes-classic/ Like this? More Nintendo games than the MiNES, and Earthbound is a negative game far as I'm concerned. Still a solid list, though.

    Pretender shell last time.

    I think you're missing the important thing here. Duke Nukem just lost his crown as most-delayed game everto be released.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: The first to offer me a 1:1 VF-1 gets all the moneys.

    I won't deny I prefer the presentation of 2036, but it also feels better as a shooter than Scrambled Valkyrie. SV can be a very sluggish game as it plods along at its own relaxed pace, and few of the weapons actually feel like they have any stopping power. 2036's biggest issue in my mind is the lack of free transformation(which is a notable downside given the franchise), but it does a much better job making me fell like I'm in a deadly fighter robot-plane.
