    Including zentradi-sized bottle opener? Or maybe a cigarette lighter...

    You must've forgot which forum this is.

    I want to emphasize I used hundred-fold as an example for illustrative purposes. I've got no idea what the actual difference is.

    Oh,m thank Macek! I was worried I wouldn't be able to buy out-of-print ADV disks anymore, or that I'd have to pay bargin-bin prices for Shadow Chronicles!

    If they actually make a Rainbow Brite movie, I will be pleased ENTIRELY out of proportion to what they're doing.

    'S okay, we're all glad to see it again.

    Eventually we'll bump this thread enough that when news actually DOES arrive, people will ignore the thread because they think it's just been bumped again.

    SUPER ROBOT WARS

    Why not Alpha?!?!

    Some kind soul once re-uploaded the Lost Two Years summary as a board attachment, so it's downloadable here. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=28565&p=699893 But it IS a summary. It's more a terse collection of facts than an actual narrative tale.

    That's what I said. I'd like the artbook. Moreso now that it's hit the "hardcover artbook" stretch goal, but I'm not sure. I do like that the signed boxes are "Not a limited tier, because IGA positively dares the world to wear out his signing hand." 'Tis a dare he will regret, I'm sure.

    Every time I see this thread I think it's a joke thread. And every time I click it and am reminded this is a real thing that is actually happening.

    ALL HAIL SALAMANDER!

    Remember,these real-world lasers are damaging real-world hardware made of real-world alloys and driven by real-world engines with real-world weight limits. Also, missiles are very lightly armored next to the planes that fire them. Once you up the thrust a hundred-fold, putting more armor on everything becomes feasable. Even moreso when you ALSO have materials that are a hundred-fold more durable than anything we have now for the same weight. I think it's obvious why something that's super-powerful for the real world could kinda suck in Macross.

    I just felt the underwater sequence was really weird for a canonically air-breathing mech. I do admit that I forgot about the backpack rockets being, well, rockets, and thus anaerobic.

    I object. That's not science-fiction.

    IN FAIRNESS, Trek is rarely consistent on an episode-to-episode basis. There's just DEGREES of wrongness. But yeah, beaming halfway across the galaxy is a special kind of special. That's worse than the Borg Queen was. (And no, there was nothing good about the Borg Queen. She completely shat on the ENTIRE POINT of the Borg.)

    Gradius was terrible. Gradius V fixed the biggest problems. Speed powerups in that range from just fast enough to survive to just slow enough you won't careen all over the map before you crash into a wall. As opposed to "literally too slow to survive" and "almost literally too fast to control". And options maintain onscreen for recollection from a same-spot respawn, just like they did in Salamander, which was WAY BETTER than Gradius in every way. So of course people hated Gradius V because there weren't moai heads in it. Meanwhile, R-Type just gave you a user-controlled throttle and called it a day. Because that made SENSE. But the Gradius powerup system is a sacred and inviolable game mechanism that can never be altered in even the smallest of ways. Except when needed to shoehorn it into games that weren't even designed for it because you decided to ruin Salamander. But Contra's cool.

    On the subject of JJ Abrams and Star Trek... While watching Star Trek: The Movie(not to be confused with Star Trek: The Motion Picture), I kept thinking "He would REALLY rather be doing Star Wars." While watching Star Trek: Into Darkness, I kept thinking "Wow, this is hilariously badly-written."

    I quite like the pixellated Iga look. He makes a rather dashing vampiric european noble for a japanese guy.

    Qo'noS, you p'tahk! My targ speaks better klingon than you!

    Aaaaaactually, the first died, we got a replacement on clearance. Now the second is dead, but this time I can rebuild it. I have the technology.

    Presumably. Given they DON'T need air. But I seriously can't think of a reason they couldn't use water for propulsion.

    It was the Max. I need to work on my Advantage. It's broke, but they're simple electronics.

    Actually... the VF-0 doesn't have a fusion turbine. It ALLEGEDLY uses jets.
  25. JB0
    Ah. They pr'ly all use the same guts.
