  1. I'd be shocked if they couldn't. ... But this IS Sony. Anyways, this is my favorite artist's rendition of the PS3...
  2. XBox2 is also supposed to be using PowerPC chips(like Nintendo and Sony). And an ATI graphics chipset. So all 3 decks will be ATI/IBM.
  3. 2036 is just a fun game. Makes minimal use of transformation, sadly(locked in fighter or GERWALK mode until boss time, when you go to battroid). And I thought the FamiCom game was based on the TV series. Not that it matters.
  4. The SV-51 is a scrawny girlie-man valk that would snap in 2 under the stresses of a more modern valk's performance.
  5. But in macross zero we have a mech that is brain controlled by sara. Wouldn't it be better to have mechs that could learn you, rather than you learning how to control them? Imagine the time you'd save not having to train yourself to use one? At the cost of a limited interface. That's not really doable if the machine learns you, because the machine has to reinterpret your existing movement concepts. They had drones in the original series. You just don't see them much.
  6. And guns. Lots of guns.
  7. Which would be my usual assumption, except for in-the-cockpit views.
  8. Because all his porn is on the old server, and they refuse to move it over.
  9. None of those LCD games are "that fun", really. But they can be intresting diversions on occasion.
  10. Seen that before. Not, strictly speaking, a Game&Watch. Not even the same form factor. Would be nice to own, though. Not for that price, though.
  11. Right. It's about what looks good, not about what makes the most sense.
  12. I thought those were destroyed by the Supervision Army, granted the Macross Compendium never did mention who destroyed those. It did mention that the Glaug factory was destroyed by Supervision Forces. My mistake. I thought it was stated the protoculture pulled the plug.
  13. True. I used the one-hit kill code a lot in the later defensive levels.
  14. It's also got that sword thing that throws a bunch of grenades out. That's a blast.
  15. You're a better gamer than I am, then. Took me a fair bit of time to get through several of the stages, even after I shamed myself by dropping it to easy mode.
  16. Hypothetically, it also kept them dependent on their masters. If they wanted working gear to fight with, they couldn't revolt against the protoculture. ... But they did anyways, and just assumed that their automated factories would keep turning out new toys as fast as they busted the old ones. The protoculture blew up the reaction weapon manufacturing facilities before they collapsed, but didn't manage to take the whole infrastructure down, which would've essentially killed the zentradi off.
  17. Actually, the big thing about the chimp experiment(as well as the tongue input ones) is it proves this conception is wrong. As I said, the chimp brain not only controlled the arm(as opposed to flailing it about randomly) , it developed sections of the brain dedicated to control of the robot arm. On the human level we've set up non-invasive rigs, but they aren't very sensitive and just moving a mouse cursor-type object with them is a chore, much less operating in a full 3D space with varying levels of "click". And we're actually born with very little wiring. That's why babies do a lot of nothing for a while. They don't know how to work their bodies. But we've found out recently that we can learn new things well into adulthood(albeit slower than a child does). A person born deaf can learn to hear if he's given a way to pick up sound. Someone born blind can learn to see if given a way to recieve light. Or you could just wire the arms into an adult and let the incredible adaptiveness of the human brain figure it out, as it will based on what we know now.
  18. But the other stuff is an integral part of the show. Macross without singing and insane love triangles is... Gundam.
  19. Which, despite the valid complaints, is a fun game.
  20. PC98 emulation is a major pain in the ass, although I seem to recall one of the iMacross servers having the emulator and the three rom packs for the Macross games available for download. At one point a year or two ago I managed to get one of the games to work on my ex-GF's computer, but haven't touched it since then. Figured as much. Computer emulation gets messy fast.
  21. That's an easily escapable tradition. GaoGaiGar springs to mind immediatly.
  22. *cries* Best for... Famicom/NES: NEStopia or VirtuaNES. Super FamiCom/SNES: ZSNES or SNES9x. PlayStation: ePSXe is the best of a universally bad lot. PS emulation sucks. Saturn: Cassini is the best of an even worse lot. On the upside, no freaking plugin system. PCEngine/TG-16 and expansions: Magic Engine, though it's shareware. Hu-Go is pretty good too. Arcade: MAME is really the only option available, sadly. Dunno about GameBoy Color or PC98.
  23. Should I point out that DYRL and VFX2 are also "available through emulation"?
  24. You can get decent distance if you flick them right. Besides, they're super-powered playing cards. May as well give him a playing card railgun.
  25. A sentiment vocalized by many diffrent people at many diffrent times.
