I still can't believe they're inflicting that art on people. The CD case is awesome, though. That warms my heart so much. Even WITH the lead-in bashing the VB(and being technically inaccurate about it too!)

Sadly, he's not eligible since he isn't native-born. I'd vote for him, too.

I like Relena. She's effing hilarious with her whole death fetish angle.

It seems to me that not ALL of them were expected to die in combat. They have different "classes" of clone, fit to different tasks. You've got the cannon-fodder grunts, sure. And the damn good grunts, like Millia. But you also have archivists like Exedol that were expected to live as walking knowledge repositories, and clearly aren't suited for combat roles. And then there's commanders like Britai. They're "built" to a more durable standard(Britai himself said so after being spaced, and him and Bodolza both tower over the regular rank-and-file zentradi). Presumably because a highly-experienced commander is infinitely more useful than a fresh-from-the-test-tube commander. Britai's plate implies this too. Assuming it was a patch-up after an injury, it means it was worth trying to save his life instead of just finishing the job and popping a new Britai out. If it's an implant that offers him information beyond what he can see and hear, along the lines of the BDI system, it means command zentradi are harder to make, because the implant can't be grown like everything else.

I can get behind this.

Same here. I'm not a fan of battle-damage figures for the most part, and I really only wanted Megatron out of that box anyways. Of course, I have MY Earth Prime transformed into a Reguld right now, so... moot point.

Are they fighting over a Magic deck? Good to see you're making the best of a bad axe with that turret. I need to redo my Prime and photograph him. I have my own theories about the axe.

Wasn't that an optional replacement for a second ammo clip? Meaning only some people would carry it, and usually only for specialized missions. Haruhi knows why Gamlin took one out on every flight.

Given I saw Best Buy giving Casltevania 64 away for free at one point, and I've got a WalMart near me with a copy of Tony Hawk for the N64... Things have changed.

EDF YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God, I love that game. There's such a mishmash of rumor and conflict in that story that it's hard to tell what's actually going on. What I THINK is going on is this: 1. MS has made a better physical d-pad. 2. They've added more contacts/new mechanism, resulting in a 32-way pad, with the compass point contacts being back-compatible for traditional 8-way action. 3. These 2 changes will be added to ALL the new pads, with the premier being on the limited-edition PES pad. Especially since the games they're talking about supporting the new d-pad(PES and SF4) don't really benefit from it OR see a lot of market overlap. One's better played with a thumbstick, the other with an 8-way joystick.

His, ummm, axe becomes the back half of the fire truck. It makes about as good a firetruck as it does an axe.

VF-4.

Or the plate in his head makes him unmiclonable. I think Kawamori said he didn't want to do Misa, Hikaru, and Minmay anymore. Not that he never wanted to see a single original character again. And you forgot Roy's role in Zero.

You said you didn't have an XBox 1. I was saying it wasn't really relevant to JRPGs anyways.

That game has the most unintentionally funny ending ever. "But those who sacrificed themselves for the victory will never return..." until they do, then die again, then come back again, then die again, then rebuild themselves in a cave... with scraps, etc. "How long must he keep on fighting? How long will his pain last?" Megaman? More like Emoman. A dark omen of things to come later. I'm not even making this up. Having said that... I wanna replay X1 now. Just for the music. Damn you. Damn you to Wisconsin.

PS3 ... MIGHT run PS2 titles? And I think you can count the number of JRPGs for the XBox on one hand anyways.

Fairly early on. And I was one of the people that got VP1 while it was still available new. Never got the A ending, though. My A playthrough is mostly done, but not finished. PS1 basically died. It randomly reboots, and being totally unpredictable just makes it incredibly infuriating. So I pretty much have to play on the PS2, which I've heard exacerbates VP1's crash issues. I don't know if it's actually true(Althena knows gamers make up enough crap about these things), but the last time I tried to play, it crashed three times in a row. That turned me off picking it back up pretty fast.

Metal Saga on the PS2 is pretty good. So was Radiata Stories. I admit to being more han a little behind on RPGs. I've got a small pile I bought and never started in on, or got distracted from fairly early(I'll come back to you some day, Valk Profile 2!) .

To be fair, many game sites are well-known for giving numerical scores that have more to do with how big the game's name is than actual quality.

Naw, you could do CT. Solely because it's so open(for a JRPG). Once the reach the End of Time, they go into the trashcan warp, fight Lavos, get raped, and die. "BUT... THE FUTURE REFUSED TO CHANGE." See? It's perfectly faithful to the game AND short enough for a movie!

Macross as harem anime? *shudder*

Basara's not dense. He just doesn't care. I voted Hikaru. Solely because if the infamous "ditch Misa to hang with Minmay" incident.

What 'bout Lunar 2? LUCIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, IGN. Best watermark placement ever.

I actually haven't seen Dynamite.
