You have it backwards. There is no Gladiator in Macross. Gladiator is the RT name for the Spartan. Which is the one with hands, since these names get mixed so effectively(due in part to HG's re-using most of the destroid names, just on different destroids). http://macross.anime.net/mecha/united_nati...br07/index.html See? It lists hands as a weapon. The spartan in Robotech is the one with the missile drums(which is the Phalanx in Macross).

To the best of my knowledge, no one's announced anything yet. I suspect they're waiting to see if the PS3 is gonna start moving.

Transformers Super Thread 4: The Return
JB0 replied to Dangard Ace's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Same here. And my Targets have such a small Transformers section that it really looks like they're trying to get rid of it entirely. -
Honestly, I never got that far in either version. I had some technical difficulties with my "Download Edition" Dreamcast version, and just got distracted by english-language games after I got the PS version.
-
I prefer the PS version, actually. The 3D on the DC is a notable first attempt for the series, but it doesn't feel right. Especially with the camera AI being a tad wonky. It kept picking angles where you could see the X shape of the beams and the end of the Eva extension cord floating in space, or focusing on the foot of the Macross when I fired the cannon.
-
It would help. You won't have a clue what's going on, but you can figure out what most of the menu options are by trial and error too.

Alpha 3 is PS2, as is Alpha 2. Alpha 1 and Gaiden were PS1.
-
True. Both camps are also guilty of interpreting the (very limited) data as supporting their side. "Hey, out of 30 people, x percent responded this way to this poll with intentionally biased options! Clearly everyone in the world feels like I do!" Not disagreeing. I don't think anyone really believes HG has what they say they have, but everyone believes they can make it too expensive to be worth their effort. They removed it totally? I wasn't following things too closely. Last I'd heard, they were going to be using a redesigned lopsided kite.

Polls that only show it when the viewer REALLY REALLY wants them to. The BIG thing stopping M7(and most other Macross projects) is Harmony Gold, IMO. I'm pretty sure someone would've brought it over just to leech a bit off of the "sequel to the first half of Robotech" angle if they could've gotten away with it. YES! Planet Dance was okay once or twice. But it really got beat to death with the series as-is.

An Excercise in the Hypothetical (A "What If?")
JB0 replied to SpacyAce2012's topic in Movies and TV Series
Remember, the 19 and 21 have significant energy weapons too. And pin-point barriers, though I suspect only Guld could use them effectively(I don't think Isamu had hands to spare for barrier disk control). -
Saturn was a bit more powerful, and had a bit more RAM. But it was also a lot harder to bring the full might to bear. The simplicity of the PS1 made it much easier to develop for, especially since Sony was offering C++ libraries with the dev kits(they were the first in the industry to move away from raw assembly language dev kits). Saturn was also a lot more expensive to make, which really hurt Sega during the price war. And Sega Japan was trying to make Sega America look bad as revenge for making the Genesis a success when it flopped in Japan(seriously).

I'm not sure that's called "owning." Anyways, those aren't in the ROM-in-a-box format.
-
Feh. Most are naked carts(which he has the gall to advertise as mint condition?!?!), and he's not even doing the high-profile unlicensed titles. Actually, the fact that he stripped the manuals out and put them in a second auction is insulting. Also note! Stack-up, as he sells it, is WORTHLESS. The game came with another set of parts for ROB, which don't look like they're included in the auction.

*gazes into a crystal ball* I sense an upgrade in your future... You cannot resist the Core Duo... Spooky mystical background noises...

Indeed. It would be somewhat unfathomable as to WHY they would do a DVD or LaserDisk rip, but stranger things have happened. And I would LOVE to see an HD version of DYRL. ... Of course it'll be region-coded and I'll have to curse vehemently at whoever thought that idea up, but... ya win some, ya lose some.
-
Nope. Just inane rants with lots of cursing. Super Mario Brothers sucks! You can only move in 2 dimensions! What the hell? WALK AROUND THE DAMN TURTLE! This is bullshit! The Power Glove worked fine... as a VR glove. It sucked as a d-pad and pair of buttons was the problem. A lot of them wound up being kludged into PC VR gloves because of it. Was a lot cheaper than anything else, and just as good for most tasks.

Pet peeve of mine... the only Saturn "roms" in existence are the BIOS image, King of Fighters WTFEver, and Ultraman. Because Saturn games came on CDs. ROM does not mean "pirated software." It actually refers to silicon chips with data imbedded in them. I'll grudgingly accept the mis-application of it to ROM images, but I'm still gonna argue if you call disk images "roms." Probably. I don't have a copy of SS DYRL to check if it actually runs right, but SSF DOES support real disks(actually, it ONLY supports real disks, though you can trick it with virtual drives like Daemon Tools). SSF requires a fair bit of processor, though. Official requirements are a 3GHz P4, or an Athlon64 3200+ Not exactly cutting edge anymore, but still moderately beefy.

I think I saw Friends listed as an example. Some popular songs were used in it and got stripped out for DVDs. I may just be thinking Friends because it's the only name in the "vapid stupidity" genre I recognize. And it wasn't so much the rights expired as they never had rights for anything other than broadcast to begin with. I was under the impression it had something to do with the whole "Fire Bomber is a real band" angle, though I'm not really sure.

Including the reference to the dialog that explicitly states that they died? Aside from that I see... A picture of a space carrier fleet that's widely believed to be an animation error. Explanation of why watertight != airtight, meaning a submersible vessel isn't a space-worthy vessel. Description of the filters used for NBC readiness, which still leave you dependent on outside air. Why the Daedalus and Prometheus wouldn't have been at space readiness even IF they were space-capable. And a bit of comedy in the form of an imaginary radio conversation if the Macross had PLANNED to include the Daedalus and Prometheus in the fold.
-
Didn't the Daedalus crew die when their ship defolded in a vacuum and decompressed?
-
DYRL's not "real" though. Remember, current continuity has it set as a movie made within the Macross universe. The TV series version of events is what "actually happened."

The YF-21 is the sexiest VF there is.

*digs out manual* Mine says 120V, 60Hz. Given how dirty AC is, I'd give it a good bit of variance. I wouldn't be surprised at all to learn it can take 120VDC, but that's just a suspicion. I'm unfortunately familiar with mine's innards. My power supply board seems to be acting up(random reboots), and I can't find a decent repair guide. I found a pinout, but it didn't do a lot except torpedo my plans to just replace the whole thing with a single brick(I'm odd, but not odd enough to think running PS1 games on a PS1 is worth hooking 3 bricks into it). Yeah... I'm sure I had a point with the rambling last night, but I can't really figure out what it was anymore. I think it was that the PS2 slim had an external brick, and then I went off on a tangent. Ooooh... I just remembered... some laptop chargers output AC and leave the rectification to the computer. That'd be a good way to kill a system, even if he did match voltages.

There were still non-UN areas too, as seen in Burst Point. -
There's a Speak and Spell chanting "SOS" in the background for part of the first vid!
