But Macross Exedol trying to sing hurts my ears more than RT Minmay ever did.

Gives the annoying kids something to do besides team-kill, anyways. ... Wasn't that supposed to come out for the CURRENT XBox?

But... brains are yummy.

Reminds me of that old Energizer ad where Vader's lightsaber fizzles out, he opens the battery door, and there's some generics in it.

What they said. Congratulations.

Personally... if nothing else her mouth is too big.

Crash could've been the test release for the new plant, while Macross could've been the last release for the old plant that they knew did good work.

MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! Anakin falls to the dark side, is seriously injured in a duel with ObiWan, and becomes Darh Vader. Senator Palpatine becomes Emperor Palpatine and institutes a reign of terror, including execution of all jedi. Yoda goes and hides in a swamp, while ObiWan ducks for cover in a desert. Luke and Leia are born, and hidden away.

And by that statement, it seems obvious that you haven't seen the TNG episode in question. . . or you associate "military" with "evil". . . In "Yesterday's Enterprise", characters remain essentially the same, except that the timelines have diverged at the point where the Enterprise-C either stayed and saved the Klingon vessels (thus leading to Fed/Klingon peace) or fell into the time rift, thus not saving the Klingons. . . and leading to a long Fed vs Klingon war that did not go well for the Federation. But, in that alternate timeline nobody who was evil becomes good, and nobody who was good becomes evil. Though one that was dead became live. ... Seriously, I think Tasha Yar set a record for most appearances of a dead character. It diverged before first contact. Dr. Flox compared diffrent versions of famous literature and was saying the "real" universe versions were all full of weak pansies, except for Shakespeare.

but that story, "Yesterday's Enterprise", was just classic, 'The path not taken' scenerio, not a true MU deal. The Enterprise C's departure from it's battle created a new universe, with a military Starfleet. It was A mirror universe, just not THE mirror universe. If that makes any sense.

You completely missed my point. Of course those old games are garbage, and nearly unplayable. It's called hindsight. But nobody questioned it back in "the day" because that's all there was! We played them bcause they were the first and only video games out there, and nobody dreamed that we'd have any consoles remotely like what we have today. We sure as hell didn't sit around and complain about how much better Tekken 3 was going to be compared to Intellivision Boxing. No. You sat there complainng how much better INTV Baseball was next to 2600 Baseball, in the first console war.

Meh. Was a good enough excuse for me. Observation: Anime on DVD has BG Crash listed as coming out before Macross. That would be because AOD is listing the retail release, which was later than the direct pre-order release from AnimEigo. That doesn't make sense. I was running off the 9-disk set, which never HAD a retail release. Besides which, the December 2001 release date matches teh reception of my set. If, of course, you're talking about BG CRash, that makes things worse, as it makes Crash come out even FURTHER before Macross.

As far as I can tell, that's an accurate assessment of things.

" Vin Diesel is the only person to ever achieve a negative ping. "

It's funny how much cheesier the gorn looks on a modern show.

Donkey Kong actually PLAYED all right, though. Never mind that there wasn't enough ROM space for all 4 playfields. Seen a few for GameBoy and NES. Coelco actually got sued over that and their Gemini console(which was a 2600 clone), for what it's worth. They settled out of court for a good sum of money, if I recall my history right.

We got a reasonably good deal on ours, relatively speaking. Got it at the end of the Texas state fair after a long run of bad weather. Between the waether and we'd expressed interest in previous years, they came down on the price a bit and threw in some accessories. Also borrowed one from a friend to see how well it worked well before we bought ours. Wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision. As far as dust belching... my nose says it puts a lot less dust back out than our Hoover, which is several years newer(was bought because setting the Rainbow up can be a pain sometimes for the terminally lazy, an affliction my family suffers from). I can SMELL the dust leaking out of that one. But... on the negative side of things: Our power head plugs up fairly regularly. Say once a month it has to be opened and a big wad of dog hair picked out of the entrance to the pipe. And the thing is LOUD. Biggest improvement on the current model based on what I've seen is it's far quieter.

Man, you kids today... You just have no clue what the world was like before you graced it with your presence, do you? Seriously...maybe next you can comment on some old silent B&W movie you saw on late night PBS, and marvel that people "actually watched it." Or perhaps you can test drive a car thats more than 25 years old, and report on how disappointing its 3-speed manual tranny was. Or you could pick on 8-tracks, AM radio, carbureted engines, and betamax. You're free to share your opinions here, but you're going to have to realize that you have zero perspective on how the tech we have today came to be. Saying that you take things for granted is putting it lightly. Well did say he had a Commodore 64 and Odyessey those are old. The 2600 and Colecovision were my favorites back then. Ya Atati 2600 games are to hard to play now. I don't find them interesting like I did back in the early 80's. The 2600 had the worst versions of Pac-Man and Donkey Kong ever lol I've seen some worse versions surface. Usually as poorly-done efforts at making a flash game.

That's EMPRESS Hoshi. Looks like they're carrying this plot on for a third episode. Can't say I object, as it's the most fun I've had watching TV for some time.

I bet they do.

Got a Rainbow here. Drowns the dust in water. Aside from being a quite decent(and cheap!) filtration media, it makes emptying the canister a lot cleaner. ... And safer for those of us with serious dust allergies. With very few exceptions, every vacuum ever made kicks some dust into the air when it's emptied. As someone that gets really sick when he inhales any signifigant quantity, this is a Bad Thing There are some models I literally cannot use because of how much dust gets thrown up when I empty them.

Hey, the last thing I want to see is a pixellated penis jumping out at me. Ah... gotta love Hollywood. "We've got this movie. It's really cool. Bunch of awesome space creatures beating the crap out of each other. " "Ooooh, I like it. But no parent will bring their kid to see this. Gotta clean it up." "But... Alien... Predator... excessive violence is what people WANT in this license." "CLEAN UP! MUST HAVE KIDDIES!" Not surprised, really. This IS the same industry that sued a cable channel for not selling them children's ad space for their R-rated film. (Nickelodeon, Fifth Element) ... Of course, AVP was likely edited to get teens in, not little kids. But still...

Heh. I can just see a stray shot from a cannon fodder causing a barrier overload. "BrowniePilot has just PKed the fleet".

If you allow a mix of AI bots and player characters, it becomes far less difficult to get a suitable team assembled. Of course, if anyone is trying for actual role-playing, it'll be kind of torpedoed by the fact that "RoyFocker1234654173" and "MaxSterlingCuzMacrossSuxNRobotechRulez!11111" keep disappearing from the Daedalus and being replaced with "Drone 114" and "Drone257." ... Which, sadly, would quite likely be an improvement, as the drones would play along instead of going "D00d, WTF R U DOING ROELPLAY IZ TEH GHEY".
