  1. Personaly I'd rather they ripped off the SNES or PS style pads. **Waits to get yelled at by the so-called "true" gamers** I'd rather they scrapped the gamepad totally and packed a half-decent joystick in. If it's like the d-pad on the regular Xbox controller-S, it shouldn't be too bad. Yah. I've heard it's a darn nice d-pad. And in a moment of rationality, I DO admit that joysticks don't work as well for the kind of games that are usually released currently. Though I could argue that that's partially because they develop games for the controllers instead of controllers for the games. You could argue that. It seems that when they make controllers for games, you wind up with something gimmicky, like the bongos for Donkey Konga or the touch screen for the DS. DS touch screen is games made for the controller again. Anyways, for every DK bongo, there's a... ummm... no, RAD used the standard Dual Shock 2... and... errr.... that train simulator seris in Japan? Okay, it was a stupid extension of the sentence. But like I said, they make games to match the controllers. It'd be stupid to make a game that expected you to do something that's just awkward on a given gamepad. Genesis games aren't big on using A and C at the same time, for example. In my experience, joysticks work nicely for fast-action stuff like shooters and fighters. Pads work better for the less-frantic, but longer gaming sessions that you get from adventure and 3D action games. RPGs... who cares? You can play most of those with your feet anyways. (note that I DO enjoy several RPGs greatly, but really, gameplay was never the genre's strong point)
  2. That's sort of like saying everything becomes invisible when the lights go out. The color of the light an object reflects is the color of an object. It's reflectiveness doesn't change because there's no light. And in this case, it's still reflecting colored light. Just not enough to activate your eyes' color sensors. they dont become invisible, they all become black when there is no light, when you have a colored light, example, red, all objects will be the same color You cease to be able to see them. Hence, invisible. I would argue that an object's color and apparent color are diffrent things. Sure, you can play games with filters and such to make things look diffrent. I'm quite familiar with the concept(amateur photography). You can make gray skies blue, red apples purple, create rainbows out of nothingness, whatever you want. That doesn't change what an object's phsyical properties are. Given a reasonable lightsource, a strawberry will always be red, a carrot will always be orange, a tree always brown. Random tangent: the human eye is remarkably tolerant of colored lighting. Sure hues vary a little, but for the most part things look the same untill you get the light weighted to such an extreme that there's nothing left BUT a single color of light. Weighted red, blue, yellow, green, it all looks about the same as long as you don't have them overlapping each other.

  6. I don't think it was concieved as a trilogy to start with, is the problem. Prsonally, I think they shoulda left it as a stand-alone. But it made too mcuh money to do that. The two Matrix sequels sucked hard because with the original Matrix, the Wachowski brothers had to revise and polish the script so much just to get it made they actally had to make it a dencent movie, opposed to the sequels where they were given the green light to do whatever they want and (obviously) didn't put nearly as much effort in cleaning up or polishing the scripts. Not arguing with that.
  7. Well, thats an older article... Maybe they have canned the idea since. I hope so. Seconded. Also seconded on larger avatars. Not that mine really NEEDS more pixels. I could see them being about twice as wide, honestly.
  8. Actually, things appear B&W when it's darker because our B/W vision is a lot more sensitive than our color vision. So you can see in B&W when there isn't enough light for your color vision to work.
  9. Gives the annoying kids something to do besides team-kill, anyways. ... Wasn't that supposed to come out for the CURRENT XBox? Actually, it was supposed to be for Gamecube. Development switched over to Xbox after Microsoft bought Rare, then time passed without any updates, and suddendly it was reannounced for the Xbox 360, with rumors hinting that it'd be available at launch. It's been so long since it was announced that I'd forgotten a lot of the details, clearly. Thanks. And Duke Nukem Forever!

  11. I think the fact that it's been in continuous release would make it kinda difficult to sue without being laughed out of the courts.

    YAY SD MONSTER GIRL!
  13. Uh. Yah. Cuz they are hard to find. shh i get a commission for each one I lure somebody to buy one. Damn, I want that job... Just post a link at robotech.com, and advertize it as a Robotech 5000 box set.
  14. But... I already OWN both disks, and it doesn't say anything about remastering.
  15. A porn star, if Google is any indication.
  16. I don't have a lightsaber. Just a glow-in-the-dark piece of latex.
  17. Or go all-out and give us an NC-17 with explicit alien/predator love scenes. That would be worse than anything they've yet come up with.
  18. To be fair, the original Terminator was a slow pile of tin, too. It was just stubborn. I imagine a modern Robocop movie would feature some stunts.
  19. Specifically the Capcom arcade one.
  20. MY PANTS!
  21. Grendizer ugly? I don't think so. Gaiking is the king of ugly robots. Just as ugly is that one nuclear-powered Jet-Alone (JA) from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Now when will Bandai make a chogokin Mechander Robo? Meh. What does Luna know, anyway?
  22. Ouch. You shold've cut his hand off.
  23. I made one for Halloween once using a small flashlight, a plastic tube, and tape.
  24. Yes. It looks much nicer now.
  25. I could be mistaken. But I'm pretty sure they snagged a couple of seconds at the beginning of an episode recently.
