  1. That's because everything but CRT is actually a fixed-resolution device. If you feed it anything other than native res, the display has to up/downsample to that resolution, which invariably introduces scaling artifacts.
  2. Coulda been worse. I would've stuck him with "Yang Neumann's bitch."
  3. You actually thought Arnold was natural? 361018[/snapback] *shrugs* More like didn't care. 361046[/snapback] That guy is more important than Jesus, Ghandi, and the Dali Lama combined. EVERYTHING he does is important. 361189[/snapback] Jesus, Ghandi, and the Dali Lama were a combiner trio? Why don't people mention that more often?
  4. *slowly walks around box for 10 minutes so footprints don't fill too fast* *gets bored, breaks your neck* Yes, I actually did that in MGS on mroe than one occasion.
  5. You actually thought Arnold was natural? 361018[/snapback] *shrugs* More like didn't care.
  6. Oddly, I thought the cloning/genetic engineering bit was a tad silly. Why can't Snake just be good, instead of good because he's a customized clone of someone who was good? ... It didn't hurt that the super-smart, super-sighted genetically-engineered super soldiers couldn't see 4 feet ahead of themselves and would follow footprints in a circle around a crate until you got bored and snapped their neck.
  7. Damn, and I thought I was just pulling stuff out of my ass.
  8. Not exactly. But as I expected, they're made with PCs in mind. I don't think they'd play at all on a standard DVD player. 360874[/snapback] There's also a 480i allowed in DVD spec. It sucks, though.
  9. If I had to guess, I'd say they don't like the funky resolutions needed for a 16*9 aspect ratio. Just an offhand guess, though.
  10. No gay space monsters eh?! The hero doesn't wear a dress!? No pink space equipment with boobs!??? NO WONDER YOU DIDN"T LIKE IT! 360886[/snapback] It didn't have any thickly-accented steroid-abusing Californian governors ether.
  11. Yes it was. So let's see if I've got this: rotoscoping involves drawing over pre-existing live footage? For example, since the original He-Man cartoons were rotoscoped, does that mean there was a live action representation of those episodes, that was then drawn over? 360813[/snapback] Bingo.
  12. Add me to the Liked Titan AE list. And I'm glad DeathHammer isn't remaking anything.
  13. But it's okay, because there'll be a host of players with either BIOS updates or cleverly hidden menus to disable that "feature." 480p? Or 720i/p?
  14. You're mistaken. Snake deals with all problems by sneaking up behind someone in a cardboard box, jumping out and strapping C4 to their back, then hiding around a corner until they get near someting flammable or a large number of friends.
  15. Ferries eh? So M7 fans haul people, cars and trucks across large bodies of water? I think you meant to say fairies, like this one for example! Actually, I think he meant ferrets.
  16. It's Ram-Man!!! 360305[/snapback] *laughs* I was thinking the exact same thing. Except replace "Ram-Man" with "That HeMan guy with the spring legs and the helmet... what hte hell was his name? Something-Ram?"
  17. Yes, but Kojima clipped a chip on his neck to immobolize him while he hooked the brainwashing goggles up, then programmed him to A. do whatever Kojima asks, and B. bark like a dog when ever he hears the word "kleptomaniac."
  18. MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAC-ROOSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! </themesong>
  19. Maybe he's doing both at once... remember Psycho Mantis?
  20. So are you, it seems. Won't shoot your sacred cows if you stay away from mine, deal? Reflex sucked. It's an indefensible screwup. End of story. No. They didn't. Other studios DID follow HG's example, for the record. Ask a Sailor Moon fan about the Dic dub sometime. Or a Clamp fan about Cardcaptors. And those are MILD compared to the HG hackjob.
  21. The "normal" ones are post-count based. All the one-offs are custom titles. I don't think any were by request.
  22. Right. Hence the reverb effect. It's a cheap way to fake an alien voice being overlaid by a translator. Oh gods, you're one of THOSE people. It's reaction, as in nuclear reaction. "Reflexor" doesn't have quite the same ring to it. That's one of the biggest translation screwups HG made("protoculture = battery" being a rewrite issue). Yes, Sammy's a valid US name. Too bad the character's not from the US. Don't worry. Eventually HG will go under. Yah. That was right before everything went to crap. Manga released Macross Plus in the US in '95, and HG blew up a few years later(if I recall, the new broader interpretation of their license started when people imported Mac Plus merchandise). Probably because that was about when they realized Robotech was old enough to have "retro appeal."
  23. Unfortunately, Kojima has already said that the chances of him doing another MGS beyond this are small (or if there is one, he's said that more likely than not he'd let someone else direct it)... it would be a hollow threat at best at this point. 359981[/snapback] He also said that after 2, though. Anyways, strip the Solid off and just make it Metal Gear.. He's having a lot of fun with Acid as far as I can tell.
  24. And thus were our retinas spared.
  25. This is HG. Tehre's ALWAYS a draconian conspiracy going on. Not gonna happen until HG gets less pig-headed. They aren't going to mix/match. The cool reverb is gone. A zentradi would also be speaking zentran to a zentradi, not english. That's really too bad for you, as it's the official romanization AND an actual finnish name(Shammy happens to be from Finland). Actually, they couldn't. Neither HG nor ADV has the rights to either program as far as anyone can tell(though HG claims otherwise). And even if they did, they can't get the source material from Big West, who vehemently disagrees with HG's interpretation of the license and refuses to give them anything unless they pay for it(which HG won't do, because they "already own it."). Again, not gonna happen. HG refuses to pay for a MacZero license, as they recently decided their Macross license covers all aspects the entire franchise instead of just the TV series(they even claim they have a copyright on the TV series... *rolls eyes* ). Big West isn't going to just give it to them. DYRL... had something like 4 seperate english licenses out at one time. The problem is that no one knows who, if anyone, still has a valid license, and nobody wants to go to court over it. So everyone's waiting for someone else to make a move. And even if they do sort it all out, they still have Harmony Gold waiting for THEIR day in court. BTW, if you want more detail about the legal situation between HG and Big West, see the legal debate thread. And welcome to the board. Keep your doorknobs away from Agent ONE and you'll be fine.
