The kind of people paying 200 for Radiant Silvergun tend to fall outside the realm of composite movie game NES blowjob, though.

Ah. Shows what I get for taking second-hand comments at face value(I didn't read the article, someone else was telling me about it)

And science has shown that if given alternatives, the brain will rapidly learn them, and even dedicate sections of the brain to processing them. Even if you just hijacking other senses. The tongue has proven quite useful for that since it has a lot of nerve endings and just isn't that useful when you aren't eating. So yes, you DO "magically gain new senses." Yes, you still have to understand how it works. I didn't say you didn't. (Unless the system is set up to interpret simple "go thataway" or "spin thisaway" commands into functional flight controls, which... isn't entirely impossible.) I DID say it'd be a lot easier to learn, and I stand by that. And all that extra information IS useful. Remember, Guld was a civilian. And he went toe-to-toe against a trained military pilot with extensive combat experience.

Hori changes the device ID with every variant of the stick, so even though it's the EXACT SAME CONTROLLER as the DOA4 stick, the drivers don't recognize it. If it was the Windows XBCD drivers, you'd just have to add %XBCD_360.DeviceDesc% =Install, USB\VID_0F0D&PID_000D ; Hori Fighting Stick EX2 into XBCD.inf at the right place(it's painfully obvious where it goes). But I've got no clue on Mac.

You're welcome. Sadly, mine's only been used for the occasional MAME session. I don't think I ever connected it to my 360.

It helps, especially when said pilot-to-be has visual impairments. Visual metaphor VS literal operation. If it worked like that, I'd shoot the designer. And provides finer control of the vehicle, and more intuitive access to a wider variety of information, and...

Heihachi's lack of weapons was a major sticking point. He was totally out of place. I gather he also had pretty bad range issues, since he was the only barehanded fighter. I had the 'Cube version, so... As I understand it, that's only half-true. While each system will only get one in the box, both will be able to buy the other via online store. Microtransactions are lame.

One more reason the YF-21 > anything with a conventional cockpit!

AWACS seems pretty dangerous too. At least, if you're the poor soul Misa decides to ride with....

And meanwhile I'll lay my wife down to ensure there's enough people to maintain a viable human population and continue colonization.

Your vision of the future inspires me, and gives me hope.

2 of 3 would come up regularly in eBay searches for Radiant Silvergun. Anyways, I think someone figured it out and the prices of STV boards and RSG carts jumped massively. But I'm not sure.

While I can't condone the love of such a game, Hori makes a few 360 sticks. The "Fighting Stick EX2" is readily available in the US right now. And Radiant Silvergun used to be a good bit cheaper, if you were smart. I dunno if people ever realized that they could buy an ST-V board, Supergun, and Silvergun cart for less than the cost of Saturn Silvergun.

The one I own isn't like that at all.

I'd have to say that I'd do my part by signing up for the UN Natural Conception Population Restoration Project.

What if we like scrolling shooters, but not pattern-memorization shooters or puzzle games pretending to be shooters? Tell me when GOOD games like Mars Matrix and GigaWing start getting some respect instead of ZOMG TREASURE!!!1111111. ... Or Bangai-O. An HD Bangai-O would be very nice.

I don't see a huge difference between the 19 and 19Kai heads, really. One "just" has a split visor and a mouth drawn on it. The lines of the YF-19 head in general start making it look like a helmet, IMO. I admit that as heads go, no mass-produced VF has near the humanizing of the average Gundam, Transformer, or super robot, but...

I strongly suspect that's the primary reason. Which is disappointing. But not entirely unjustified. Oddly, I was thinking the same thing.

Isn't that what the Stampede Valk is? http://www.un-spacy-qmtdb.com/Macross%20GA/sdp-1.htm (note: I'm aware that link isn't to the Compendium, but... needs pics! 'Sides, the Compendium doesn't HAVE a Stampede entry, so it's a moot point. ) Interestingly, that's one of my complaints on the VF-1A and VF-11. Ugly heads. Though the DYRL-style 1A head is much improved, it's still pretty nasty. The YF-21 face.... I like it, actually. The secondary windows give it a bit of visual interest that the 1A-style face lacks. The YF-19 face gets into the over-humanized realm. It's starting to look less like a robot and more like Robocop. For what it's worth, my favorite VF-1 head is the 1J.

But the design guy doesn't need to be there for the whole photo shoot. Logically, they're going to shoot all the vehicle pics, then all the bot pics. Or vice versa. They won't be transforming the sample back and forth a dozen times. So they get their vehicle shots done, call the design guy in, he reconfigures it, and they shoot the 'bot mode pics. He's free during everything except the transition from vehicle to 'bot. His continued presence, while beneficial to shooting posed 'bot pics, isn't necessary. But apparently it IS necessary for the transformation step. Of course, if they try to shoot an entire combiner in one day, he may as well just stay up there.

Naw. Transforming Gundam mechs turn form humanoid robots to "humanoid robots laying on their faces" Or from humanoid robots into giant boxes. Seriously, what were they thinking when they did the Psycho Gundam? Believable jets are on the very bottom of the Gundam design rules.

I VOTE VF-1 TIMES NINE MILLION!11111111

But it'll STILL be rare and hard to come by. Just like there's only one Mona Lisa, but there's billions of photos of the Mona Lisa. GOooooooo WAREZ!

And it's all completely unofficial. It's totally irrelevant. I could set up a site claiming the YF-21 had quantum armor and an espresso machine, and was powered by the GUTS of the pilot. That wouldn't make it at all a credible source.
