I'd buy it.

I think it shows up a good half-dozen times, at least. It's in basically every scene where a destroid on the Macross bites it, because they reused the same sequence for every kill. And it wasn't really an official valk variant. Just an in-joke like the beercan missiles.

Purpose is over-rated.

EXCEPT when the original creators have an acronym that they're DE-romanizing for hte japanese title. Either way, though... it's generally considered in good taste to accept the creator's version instead of telling everyone that uses it that they're stupid.

That's funny, because if you WATCH THE SHOW, that U is very much audible. The point you're trying to make is that YOUR romanization takes precedence over the creators' romanization. The creators of Macross romanized it as Macross. The creators of MOSPEADA romanized it as MOSPEADA. There is no question of vagaries of the language, diffrences of translation, or anything else, because it's already BEEN romanized by the creators. Your argument consists of "the creators have no f'ing clue what they were trying to say." Scrap the quotes aoround official, as they are clearly intended to imply that its NOT the official spelling, or that there is no official spelling. The creators DID have an official spelling, they made a whole english logo and a damned acronym around it. You're being a dumbass. That's nice. Shame this is a textual conversation, so all the nuances of sound get lost. Maybe you should use a pronunciation key to type it next time, since you're attempting to represent the sound of the word. Or better yet, use the actual japanese characters instead of making up a romanization. Why attempt to render it into a completely foreign alphabet at all? Also... maybe you should start correcting the spelling of english words. Like know. That's spelled TOTALLY wrong. It should be no, and that's how I intend to type it from now on. U no wear eye'm cuming frum, rite? As of yet, all you've proven is YOU don't know what you're talking about. Or rather, writing about.

I think that's the problem, actually. No one can prove ANYONE doesn't own the rights. So we have... was it 4? diffrent companies all sitting on their "rights" to the show waiting for someone else to move so they can leap like a pack of rabid starving jackals and rip them to shreds. Eventually, only one company will be left, and THEY can get a DVD on the shelves. I suddenly like this plan a LOT. I think you meant gesture, not jester. But jester fits better anyway.

Oh, c'mon. Everyone knows the only GOOD Gundam universe is After Colony.

Teenage Mutant Anime Fanboy Turtles?

Nah. It'll increase once it's properly labelled. NEVER!

I was thiking Short Circuit... only with more violence.

Good for you, still doesn't change the fact that the official romanization of the name is MOSPEADA. So while the rest of the world looks on at you with confusion you can rest easy knowing that you know better than the Japanese creators of the show. I've only seen a few episodes of MOSPEADA. but wasn't it an acronym of some sort? I vaguely remember seeing some model kits or something similar with writing to that effect. 311937[/snapback] Yah. The full thing was run out a little earlier in the thread... *scrolls back* There we go... "Mobile Operation Soldier Protection Emergency Aviation Dive Armor" Spaces added to preserve sanity.

Fixed it for ya. Now excuse me while I start a thread complaining about how this site should be renamed MacurosuWorld.

2 guys walked into a bar. The third one ducked.

Boy, I guess you better head on over to Japan then and tell them they put the wrong name on their dvd covers! *chuckles*

Premiered '99 or 2k. 311573[/snapback] It was in 2000. I know, because I was just starting at the University of Oregon (2000) when it premiered on CN. 311627[/snapback] That was how I knew it was '99 or 2K, actually. Ran during my senior year in high school.

Upon consideration, I retract my statement about the rumor of Rockstar leaking the uncensor code being just stupid. The fact that it was a 1-bit flag toggle makes it look like it was intended to be re-enabled. Hell, they had to ADD code to process the flag instead of just killing the "mini-game" access At best, they were considering releasing an AO-rated edition. More likely they were hoping someone would find and enable it.

Premiered '99 or 2k.

*rolls eyes* Taht's only newsworthy to the people raising a fuss. That's just people being stupid. There's no such thing as bad publicity. As a game that thrives on shock appeal, this is only good for them.

Not a big fan of the cocktail cabinets, little too old school for me. I guess its a personal thing, I love the Japanese style cabinets. Much for comfortable to sit down if you're planning on spending some serious time in front of a game, in my opinion. 311395[/snapback] I get too relaxed if I'm sitting down. I slack off and screw up. ... Besides, I'm likely not gonna last 5 minutes anyways.

Huh? *Wonders why anybody would say that when AnimeSuki is a fansubber site* 311381[/snapback] Well... they COULD have engrish subtitles, which isn't quite the same...

After you take it back and forth a few times, Babelfish GETS that bad. Try it. Feed some text in, do english to something else. Copy the output, take it to a third language, then take that back to english. Then take your output from language 1 back to english and compare.

Cool! I don't have the money or space for an arcade cabinet right now, but someday I'd sure like to. Japanese cabinets are so much nicer than their American counterparts. 311281[/snapback] Get a cocktail cab. Can use it as a table, so the space isn't wasted. *does a Google image search* Ooooohhhh... didn't know the Ms. Pac/Galaga board came in a cocktail... Namco really pulled all the stops out for that one. http://ombion.blogspot.com/pacman.cocktail...ideo%20game.jpg Personally speaking, when/if I get me a cab, it's gonna be the classic plywood box. No slur on the molded japanese cabs, but it just doesn't feel right sitting down at an arcade machine to me.

I did. Starting with mini-box 2, if I recall.

Mmmm.... build-your-own mecha... Sure Biomotor Unitron was a somewhat lackluster RPG, but the ability to change parts out and customize the look of your mech kept me poking at it far longer than I should've(at one point late in th egame when I could get away with it I didn't even bother with stats and just went for looks, including charging into battles with TOTALLY the wrong elemental coating, just for the color pallete). Being able to do it on something more advanced... *drools* ... Wonder if you can change your paint job.

We can still dream.
