It wasn't shown to have any super powers beyond the barrier systems in Macross. Just lots of nukes. The concept of he victory being due to a special property of the ship was introduced in Robotech. And the commentary that introduced it yammered on about barrier inversions and missed the fact that the barrier was a human invention, not original equipment.

Uh, it's kind of old news. ADV tried to license it, and Big West balked when ADV got HGs approval. 340979[/snapback] I never heard it. I'd heard rumors that Pioneer licensed it. Rumors Pioneer shot down with a statement to the effect of "If we had it, don't you think we'd say something?"

Same with Macross Zero. 340967[/snapback] I didn't think there were ever any confirmed attempts at licensing that one. It was almost certainly passed over precisely because of the HG issue, but...

And Greedo shoots first would work here! ... Ecept he's dead. Boba Fett shot first?

Because nobody would buy it. 338008[/snapback] Sure they would. Lots've people've bought the bootlegs already. 338009[/snapback] Yeah dude... Like 16 people on Macross World, thats like TOTAL justification for bringing it to the US! 338943[/snapback] I'm pretty sure it's higher than that. Even bootleggers have operation costs to cover. 338944[/snapback] They are selling to Japan too. So as far as the US goes, not really part of their market, but they won't say no to a sale either. 339053[/snapback] Fair enough. I concede the point.

Well I'm not IN Canada but am from Canada (Vancouver, BC) ..... does that qualify?? ok then all UK Macrossworlders down to the pub for a pint 340939[/snapback] I thought you guys went metric.

Yeah, stereo wasn't even added to the NTSC signal in the US until (I think) 1984. And even then, as you said, it was reserved for prime time TV. I remember being a kid and wondering why all the news shows started displaying little bugs that said "In stereo, where available." I remember asking about that once. Something to the effect of how they could not know if stereo was available. Yeah, I used to work at an Audiophile dealership in Columbus, OH. I know the arguments. I don't doubt that in many cases, simple stereo sounds better than 5.1. However, any 5.1 mix collapses down to stereo on command (either for preference, or because the listener only has a stereo set-up). All I'm saying is that, once one gets passed the new sound FX, the new remastered sound track sounds remarkably better than the flat mono track on the original DVD's. Add to that the shiny remastered picture, and I think the Remastered disc are pretty danm good. Ah. Still makes sense to not compress the audio when you have room to spare. But I suppose the Dolby logo is good marketing.

Ah. Shouldn't be hard to find, unless you've got the computer not showing hidden files and directories(as it does by default). I mean, it gives you the path in the error... Eww.

Aside from the fact that the original source was IN mono... I suspect an audiophile would be more annoyed by Dolby Digital's generally poor audio quality than that the soundtrack was presented in its native form. In fact, I know they would be, because I've had one rant at me endlessly about it. And honestly, I find surround remixes fairly absurd myself. Ignoring quality concerns, the soundtrack was never intended to have directionality, adding it is just stupid in most cases. Spend the space those extra 5 channels are using on something worthwhile, and use a raw PCM soundtrack instead of screwing around with lossy compression.

Hey dude, Michael Moore called, he wants his retartedness back. 340880[/snapback] Said he'd come and get it himself, buyt he's stuck in the bath tub again.

Nonsense. DVD is MPEG. It's a lossy compression scheme. You are ALWAYS left with an image of lower quality than the source. Besides which, you can't really reconstruct missing data without a lot of time and effort. For general purposes, the source is the best. And that's the trick. Same # of episodes on a DVD look way better than same episodes on a VCD, provided re-encoding is necesary. The extra 4GB of space(for a single-layer disk) lets you use MUCH lighter compression. Ewww.

A bazooka named Rosebud. 340743[/snapback] Nah, too girly. How about Bloodrose? 340748[/snapback] No, that's the name of his battle ax. Of course. How silly of me to forget that.

http://www.robotech.com/store/viewcategory.php?id=1 The boxes at the bottom of this page and... http://www.robotech.com/store/viewcategory...=2&totalpages=3 top of this one are supposed to be the best, as far as RawBootEck goes. And if you want Macross NOW, as opposed to when ADV releases their 7-disk dubbed set using AnimEigo's masterful restoration efforts, and likely without giving them a lick of credit... http://www.robotech.com/store/viewproduct.php?id=93 That's the Animeigo disks, but in a new box with more eye-catching artwork. Many would say it's a better box, but as I personally like the minimalistic look I'd call it seperate but equal.

Darn skippy! Kane sounds like the kinda guy that'd carry a plasma bazooka, don't you think?

I feel obliged to pint out that that's a Visual C++ error, not a Visual Basic error. And if the error is any indicator, the problem is in the app, not the runtime. ... WTF is Ghooomer anyways? I'd get in the directory and see if you can figure out what it's for.

OOK! OOK! *slings poop*

'S out of print. Animeigo's license expired and HG wouldn't renew it because they're on VERY good terms with ADV.

My bet? They're pretty sure a 3rd movie will be brushed aside is "Man, Hollywood can't make good movies anymore. They need to quit trying." But a remake people will EXPECT more of the same. After all, it was good the first time, why not the second?

I think he's been crying since the thread started. 340579[/snapback] I can't believe he still hasn't posted. Maybe he found a girlfriend? On a more serious note, the real reason the first 2 Alien films worked so well was that while you did see a lot of violence, much of it was hidden and was left up to the audiences imagination. IMO, that makes a sequence much more scary that simply seeing blood and guts flying all over the walls. 340681[/snapback] Yah. You can generally imagine something worse than they can show.

Yah right I already know you won't its your nature to out geekify it. I seen you do it with nearly every subject you posted on the boards. .-^--

Okay... that pic of Reiko and the HotWheels ALMOST makes up for all the insanity you've been spewing into this thread. Post some more pics like that and I'll rescind my negative comments. Until that time, however... Roadblasters > Super Mario Kart > Outrun > Ridge Racer 6.

Pretty much. It wasn't very popular in it's original run, and there's not a lot of people that like it now either.

I think he's been crying since the thread started.

as long as they do not edit out all of the guns and replace them with walkie talkies like they did in E.T. we should be Ok. chris 340541[/snapback] *cackles* I can just see the Predator whipping out his triple-beamed interestellar communicator to talk to someone and "accidentally" blowing a hole in him with the transmission.
