Actually, the variable-camber wings weren't intended for the production model even if the YF-21 won. "Composite materials (based upon OTM theories) which are capable of increasing or decreasing the wing cross section and area with feedback from the pilot's brainwaves. Due to the high cost and problems in the construction of the main wing's complex structure, this technology is not intended for mass production." Snatched from the Compendium. Also, that's not as crazy a technology as it sounds. That was the ORIGINAL way planes maneuvered, bu deforming the wing surface. Flaps came later, as a response to stiffer wings. I don't think the BDI/BCS needs surgery. I think it's a "wireless" system. And I didn't see any evidence that the system pushed Guld over any threshold. The VF-11 wreck just showed that if you stick crazy people in planes, bad stuff happens. Not that the system was inherently flawed.

Man, shutting down the easy joke before anyone even makes it... that's just mean.

Windows doesn't have an integrated image burner. You're gonna need something else. I use Nero, because it was free with my writer. Or my motherboard. Maybe both. Several somethings came with it.

While I REALLY want to see the knife fight reanimated, let's be honest here. The show is so 80s "near-future" that it'd take more than reanimating to make it appealing to a new generation. We need more angst, Kaifun has to be RIGHT when he blames the military for everything that went wrong, the aliens have to be ecoterrorists trying to save the world from humanity... What else do they need to change to bring this into the 21st century?

Whatchu talkin' about? The 80s style is awesome! Disco is not dead!

That's what I expect happened. He's probably a hero of some sort now. Results matter, not motivation.

BluRay players WILL upsample a DVD, but that doesn't really change the fact that the source image is low resolution.

Metroid Prime 3 is decent. The subfranchise has been going steadliy downhill, but it's still good. Well, it'd have to be a complete GameBoy in a cart, like the old Super GameBoy. There's no way to shift the GBA hardware in the DS into 8-bit mode(assuming the 8-bit hardware is still present), and the ROMs communicate use different voltages than the GBA mode even if they were understandable. Not that it'd really be hard to do. I've seen other devices that dump audio and video straight into the DS before, and an 8-bit GameBoy is CHEAP hardware at this point. The big problem is convincing Nintendo there's money to be had there.

Mine too. There's no way that Basara can hold a candle to Kaifun.

Either way, it kicks off a host of OTHER commonly-asked questions like "Kawamori needs to write more of them! WE WANT MORE!" Which isn't even a question. THAT is why she hypnotizes people. Let their imaginations make up for her physical shortcomings. Someone start this as a thread!

Maybe, but there's a difference. BluRay players can play DVDs. CD players can't play cassettes. If the transition DOES occur, it'll take a LOT longer.

I still have two. Great size and weight, excellent buttons and d-pad, HORRIBLE HORRIBLE displays. I'd buy a GBA in an original GameBoy shell with original controls. Maybe even a GameBoy Color. But an original GB? ... Aww, heck. They probably can't get the old LCD panels anyways. At worst it'd be a GameBoy Pocket with green-tinted screen in there.

Yeah. There's several newbie questions that have very complex and/or vague answers. "What happened to Hikaru, Misa, and Minmay" being perhaps the definitive example.

I don't think there's really a lot that can be gained by putting SDF Macross on BluRay, other than money in Bandai's and Big West's pockets. It just doesn't have enough detail in it to warrant an HD transfer. And if it were reworked to be 16:9, it would probably be cropped, not stretched.

Possibly dirty. I had to open my first DualSuck 2 after a few months of ownership to clean it. Was losing sensitivity in the buttons after going on a shooting spree, and just tapping the fire button didn't register. To be fair, I only had to do it once ever, but... Take a pencil eraser to the electrical contacts(which are on the underside of the plastic circuit "board" if it's constructed like mine is). I'm fairly comfortable with the process, being a shameless Atari 5200 fan. The 5200 controllers are horrible horrible pieces of crap from a reliability standpoint, and breaking the sticks down becomes almost instinctive.

INTJ in the house.

Then what's the point?

Epilepsy: Genetic defect in humans, way of life in zentradi.

Does it come with a hydraulic frame to mount your TV into?

He probably stays evil, given he has Decepticon box art. Well, most of the movie toys were designed before the CG models were finalized. That certainly didn't help anything. Of course, they weren't very toy-friendly final designs. I like some of the movie designs. I think Wreckage is pretty sweet, actually. Looks more like Megatron than Megatron does, IMO(gut cannon aside). Longarm's a neat toy, too, even if his gun IS screwed to his hand. Ratchet was fun, too. Well, the G1 revision. The original is too green for my tastes.

The real question is... are the smaller guns aimed the same way? Because it'd be hilarious watching a zentradi troop shaking his head to aim the back guns.

Actually, it was matter-of-fact, not you're-an-idiot. I don't take it personally every time someone misuses a term, though some people DO take it personally when they're educated. I sometimes forget that there's no room for fact on the internet. You either accept that wrong is merely a different definition of right, or you flame someone. I actually run ALL the stores. Even the little mom&pop ones. Every. Last. One. Wasn't trying to impress you, so no worries.

Good question.

A HiVision DYRL woulda been awesome, though!

This isn't A2. It's A1.5, basically. Anyways, SRW games tend to be slow projects. There's a LOT of text to translate.
