  1. I'd bet it'll come out shortly after dubbed Macross. They'll pr'ly skip Southern Cross, as the people that cared in the first place seem to be very few.
  2. Not so simple as you make it out to be, really. An alternate point of view is that the piece was created to be easily accessable, and having it in a foreign language and subtitled detracts from that accessability. So is it more important to maintain the exact physical nature of the production as it was originally released, or the spirit of the production as the creators intended?
  3. Of course. What's the point of killing Superman if you can't say you violated his anus afterwards?

    macross rom for MAME

    I doubt they know. *nods* 'S a fun game. Not as insane as more modern japanese shooters, or even the oldest entries in the genre(Defender ring any bells?), and not as rigid as it's contemporaries. ... Sadly, I like the chaos. Seconded.

    macross rom for MAME

    Pfft. I was playing arcade games back when they weren't beatable PERIOD.
  6. Hey look HG blows monkey sacks! But we all already knew that. Hey look ADV and HG are in bed together, I wonder what kind of bastard spawn they'll drop from their crotches... *chuckles* Not quite the angle I was going for, but it works. Was just saying, it seemed fairly obvious to me that they were gonna do a second release later, particularly given how they handled Rawbooteck. URAHHHH!!!
  7. Pretty much. I was fairly sure after it was originally released they were gonna do a second release with a dub. Especially after "There's no such thing as Robotech Uncut, and we can't do a remaster because we lost the edit list... oh, wait, we DID have some extra scenes and a remaster. My mistake. Hope you don't mind having to buy another set."
  8. I assume this means you've never seen any of the animes. There's a full timeline HERE. The short version is: In 1999 an alien ship (belonging to a group known as the Supervision Army) crashed on Earth. We rebuilt it, and named it the Macross. Ten years later, space ships belonging to the Zentradi showed up. They're a race of genetically-engineered warrior clones with no civilization. And they're at war with the Supervision Army. Our ship automatically fires on theirs, due to a booby-trap left in the computer by the previous owners. This starts a war between humanity and the zentradi. Eventually, the main fleet of the zentradi forces that have had contact with humanity arrives to exterminate humanity and the zentradi that have been "contaminated" by human culture. Much of the Earth is decimated by orbital bombardments. But we win the war, with the help of the "contaminated" zentradi, who are accepted into human society. And in 2012, we launch the first of a series of space colonization missions that cintinues through to VFX2's 2050, to spread humanity among the stars and ensure that we can't be wiped out by an assault on a single planet. That's the original TV series, which is the most complex and most important to the continuity. In 2040, a computer pop star known as Sharon Apple tries to take over the Earth by brainwashing everyone. She is killed by test pilots Isamu Dyson and Guld Bowman, in a pair of prototype variable fighters. That's Macross Plus. In 2045, one colony mission, the Macross 7 fleet, encounters a group known as the Varuta, which are an army for a race known as the protodevlin. Rock star Basara Nekki saves the universe from them. That's Macross 7. There's also a prequel series known as Macross Zero, that takes place pre-2009, but it's not relevant as VFX2 was written before Macross Zero. I don't know what VR3 is. I would assume you mean Macross M3, which was a Dreamcast game.
  9. 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.
  10. what were these controversial lines they are referring to? 338931[/snapback] I remember someone threw a hissyfit because int eh first ep, Roy's subbed as saying "the neds of the many outway the needs of the one" instead of quoting the exact population of the city when he's denied authorization to look for Hikaru. Didn't hurt the meaning at all, but added a mild Trek reference. There were a few lines like that. No real change of the meaning, just a bit of "tweaking."
  11. You're confused, Roy. That's MY job description.
  12. Why do I keep thinking ADV's gonna use the Rawbooteck songs?
  13. I'm confused... What does Bandai have to do with anything?
  14. OR for a slightly more permanent solution...
  15. Agreed. 338675[/snapback] ...
  16. YAh. But he got better, so it's all right.
  17. Officially a trend, I guess...
  18. I love you, you love me, homosexuality.
  19. This same market's also been eating Robotech up. It's possible that, ignorant of the truth, they'll ignore the Macross DVDs anyways because Robotech is "the dub version of Macross." It's ALSO possible that they're curious about the show's origins and WILL buy real Macross once a dub is available.
  20. A semi-homage to a strange GBA/DS courtroom drama game. DS version's got a US release as "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney." Yes. My awesome powers of mind control let me manipulate your perception of the words in the box. ... But sometimes I just cheat and use the form. http://www.reset931.net/saiban/ The first 3 links above the guy let you pick a lawyer to object with. The 4th is an ad. Unleash the evil. We could use a new sith lord. HAHA!
  21. 338440[/snapback] Just for you.
  22. I think they're banking on people not knowing jack about emulation. A lot of poeple don't. That's what drove NES prices up through the roof a while back. They wanted to recapture their youth, and saw no way other than to go out and buy it all back.
  23. You are... Nerds++! And by making a programming joke, I default myself into the category of nerd, so no offense.
