    Yeah, I retract most of my complaints about Messer being a jerk. He may be overdoing it, and too stiff for anyone around him to realize it, but he does actually care. And with them going to war, Messer's soldierly guidance is, honestly, what Delta squadron needs most.

    Oh well. Then the sound boosters were just for extra bomba.

    Disney is where studios go to die. They operate on something like a five-year cycle oscillating between "we should make our games in-house, why are we licensing this crap to others" and "why are we spending so much money on video game development, we could outsource this and not deal with the headache" that sees them buying and then closing a LOT of studios.

    Hasbro is unlikely to make a deal with Bandai. My understanding is they actively avoid doing business with Bandai so they don't upset Takara.

    Red is better. Sildani is right.

    Game grading isn't new, and is likely a huge part of the inflation of old game prices. And it doesn't just sound silly, it IS silly. Made worse by the fact that the graders don't actually know what they are doing, and that the protective boxes they seal the games in DON'T PROTECT THE GAMES(open to the air, no UV-reflective coating).

    It really is.

    And at this point, the show is overtly shipping them. Also... is it just me, or does Captain Johnson have a plate on the back of his head like a backwards Bretai?

    Dude, spoiler warnings next time! You just ruined Empire Strikes Back for me!

    They also projected the Walkure girls onto asteroids. And gave the episode 37% more bomba.

    I think that was a "tutorial" screen. Illustrating at what points he needed to start worrying about his propellant. Basically "Look, rookie, if your screen ever looks like this, GO HOME IMMEDIATELY OR YOU WILL DIE HERE." I did note that the gauge for the valk's internal engine had a much higher warning mark set than the auxillary rockets and maneuvering thrusters. Don't forget how he turned around, burned his way all the way back to base, then burned it back out AGAIN to Mirage's location. I'm sure Hayate was full-throttle the entire way, and that'd tear through his stores like nothing. .

    That's a remarkably crowded panel.

    That's adorable! I still fire Destiny up every now and again to shoot some stuff, but much of the charm is definitely gone. BRING BACK SPARROW RACING!

    Actually, I find Transformers easier to watch than a lot of other period cartoons BECAUSE it is so bad. It is bad enough to fall out the other side and becomes self-parody.

    That apparently happened to the Manhattan Project, too. Author wrote a short story that proposed a nuclear bomb, and he was close enough to right that the feds came knocking on his door to find out where he was getting his information. http://www.digplanet.com/wiki/Deadline_(science_fiction_story)

    Vintage commercials add that flair of realism. Edited to note I am 100% serious.

    Bass? Naw, Mirage wants to do what her aunt couldn't and take the lead guitar role. Bomba.

    I still don't understand Ikoma's whole look. At first, he was pulling out the coal from the fire, I was "Okay, cauterize the wound, good idea." And then he grabs the rivet gun and starts nailing crap to his chest and I'm just "wait, what?" By the time he wrapped the belt around his neck and yanked the throttle on his autostrangulation machine I'd already given up on making sense of his plan. Now how come some people turn in minutes and others take three friggin' days?

    That's actually not completely impossible, as absurd as it sounds. Especially as they're heavily AI-driven(in the conventional sense, not the Sharon Apple sense). Tuning the AI for the new threat(organized fighter squadrons instead of the random chaos typical of var syndrome) could see a significant performance uptick at little hardware cost.

    Four-word synopsis: steampunk samurai zombie superheroes. The show has serious problems from a storytelling perspective, but it looks cool enough that I don't care.

    Power Rangers: Everyone is Venom?

    Do we know WHY the Chronicle is changing stuff? Ignoring the errors, is it a lack of editorial oversight, or an active intent to change things?

    Honestly? I thought he turned the AC down for Freyja's comfort. She's apparently from a dang cold place, and I am PRETTY sure Ragna is far outside her typical comfort zone. Lower the humidity and temperature, and for a little bit she can feel like she's back on Windermere.

    Maybe people saw the pendant and thought "No, that's silly. No one would just WEAR fold quartz, it costs way too much to be used as jewelry." And Dr. Chiba would never let anyone put him in the body of an idol... that didn't look like Minmay.

    Yeah. I really thought she was going somewhere, like she was about to bring up some other display. But no, she just wanted to eff with everybody.
