No, it's not overtechnology. It's actually a Macross-world implementation of a eye-movement targeting system which carries some minor yet significant similarities to the AH-64 Apache's helmet/sensor control system. http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=Dqxqn...m&output=gplain http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&...onoh.attgis.com The technology is actually used in real-life. However, eye-movement tracking has been primarily used in lots of research studies. So no, it's not Overtechnology, it's real-world. Eye-movement tracking was also used in at least one consumer camcorder. Can't recall the model, and it's a bitch to find info on. The premise was you would look at viewfinder icons to zoom in and out, and perform similar basic funcitons, without looking away from the action. I suspect that it didn't work very well...

Yes it is. My copy of SRW-F came with 2 cards(Cybaster and Zamzeed). The game's called Scramble Gather, BTW.

It's called the dark suit. Which implies that equipping it applies a resistance to the highly toxic atmosphere of Dark Aether to Samus' power suit.

Sorry. I consider ancient the 1st-era hardware. Atari, Mattel, Coleco, that generation. And as the Duo was a US AND Japanese system. BTW, the PCEngine is dead in Japan. It was followed with the SuperGrafx, which was pathetic, and the PC-FX, which was too little too late. Then it was retired. If I recall, NEC recently sold off their last game development facilities. Thriving used game markets don't count.

We got close one time. There was this ancient system way back in the early 90's called Turbo Duo (the big brother of Turbo Grafx) that was call PC Engine in Japan. A game called Macross 2036 was only release in Japan but could be played on the US Duo without any need for modifications. That's about as close as we got though. There's also VF-X2, which got an actual localization effort and an english demo. Release was canned at the last minute. And the TurboDuo was calle the PCEngine Duo in Japan. PCEngine = TurboGrafx 16(only smaller, and with a lot more variants). Duo was a TG16/PCE+CD-ROM expansion+extra RAM, all in one box. Duo R = a smaller version of the same thing. And calling a PCE ancient strikes me as ... wrong.

I play the kazoo!

But I LIKE the original character designs. And DYRL's flightsuits just look lame to me. My dream Macross is the TV show we have now, only with all the animation done to the same quality as the title sequence, and without Global Report(waste of a perfectly good episode slot...). oooh... hehe... that wasnt what i meant when i said DYRL. i meant the animation, u know, more detailed, smoother, etc. not the suit. But I like SDFM with its mistakes and inconsistant animation. I like it with its 1980s-TV-size budget and reuse of animation. I don't want the CG-colored cels and all that stuff. I like the nostalgia watching a dated show. And I like not having to choke back tears of agony every time Max and Millia get in a knife fight.

Ya know, I said that too. Then I played Fusion and Prime. The former was crap by any standard, the latter was possibly the single best-implemented game in the series(though I really missed my screw attack, and there wasn't a whole lot to DO with the grappling beam).

Lack of flash is one thing, but some of the AnimeFriend eps hurt my eyes. And I'll be honest, I wish the whole series was done to the same quality as the title sequence. Though a consistent level of quality at any level above "AnimeFied" would be nice. Well, it's not like there weren't other Trek references... I'd argue that he just forgot to fasten it first. Yes. Silence in the right place is sometimes the best thing you can do. Also missed in Robotech's insistence to dub grunts and "thought bubbles" in at every opportunity.

Virgin Road. If they redid one episode, it would have to be that one. One of my favorite episodes and the animation makes me wince every time.

I used to. It gets much better with time and repeated viewings.

I had the 9-disk set preordered. IT's amazing how diffrent it is compared to Robotech. In a way it's the same show, and yet, Macross is much cleaner.

HAven't had a chance to play it personally, but from what I hear, a lot of it's popularity comes from the fact that it's DIFFRENT. Not diffrent in that it's odd(which it is), just diffrent in that it's not what usually gets licensed for a US release.

I don't see the option for "the hot chick with green hair".

I actually heard him comemnting on it at one point(yay for TVs running in public places). Something about how he saw the true nature of Willy Wonka as the anti-christ and was gonna play it that way.

Hey, Depp beats Marlyn Manson hands down. Thsi can ONLY be called an improvement over the last time I heard about this.

Fact: We can't see your face, hear your voice, smell your odor, or anything else. All we have to go on is A. what you type, anbd B. how you type it. Type something that appears to be related to english, and you look smart. Type something that more closely resembles the hammerings of a drunken baboon on a typewriter, and you look... well, not smart. You can't spell. You can't capitalize. You can't punctuate. You can't even pick up on sarcasm based on your use of the old "!11oneone" joke in a manner other than making fun of yourself. How WE look like "f'n tards" for asking you to communicate in a manner resembling that of a human being is beyond me. Fortunately, I am not your "peep." I would be a very sad person indeed if I could count you among my peers. Edit: Why do you keep prattling on about post count? So far you're the only person to make even indirect reference to it. Your post count is not your penis length. It is not your intellect. It is not your worth as a human being. It's just how often you shoot your mouth off. I've seen people with thousands of posts that I wouldn't pay attention to for 2 seconds because they were raving morons. And people with less than a dozen posts that I respected immensely because they actually had something intelligent to say.

OMG I R LAME N00B DAT CAN'T SPELL 'ARE' AND TINKS PEOPLE MAKING FUN OF MY TYPING R BEING SERIOUS!111ONEONE

*bangs head* I'm sorry, but in most places I talk to people online, the whole "!!11111oneone" thing is to make fun of people that put extra exclamations, and especially the ones that let go of shift while they do it. It is an almost universal sarcasm flag.

We don't know. Komillia is around, just not the focus of many stories. In an alternate universe (Macross 2036, game for Sega IIRC), Komillia has joined the UNS. M2036 was for the PCEngine/AKA TurboGrafx16 CD-ROM expansion. So it was for NEC, not Sega.

Was looking at game news recently, and I stumbled upon a picture of Metroid Prime 2's new "Dark Suit." And for a minute, I thought they'd made a goof and put a Robotech Invasion pic in Prime 2's article. Sure there's some diffrences(for one Samus' suit is less bulky), but... Samus has TIRES on her shoulders.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too true.

I was under the impression it was a real made-up language, like klingons. Not that I'm the expert or anything.
