I haerd people say that Hikaru needed to be a man, but I never knew they meant it LITERALLY...

Favorite bug: The AI neglecting to come online when you came in line with it. Had some people I emptied a shotgun point blank on. Right between the eyes.They flinched, stood up, ran back to their starting point, and resumed waiting for me to trip them. And BULLGUT RULES! Or would if it was even mildly accurate.

Yeah, the general public want more "cute" robots, so the cold-looking Kawamori one wasn't as popular. I remember speaking to a few people around the time it came out when I was in Tokyo one of the comments I got was that "it looks like the Terminator's dog". Pity. I thought it looked pretty awesome. Especially this photoshopped one, courtesyof Mechmaster:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It had Isamu Dyson too, if I recall. And Major Kusanagi, but she didn't fly anything, so we don't care. Anyways, it was a fun game. And one of the few FPSes with an actual plot, as well as characters. ... I wonder how much time I logged on that game... I wish there was a story arc for if you flipped out and started killing people in level 2 and successfully repulsed the 3.2 metric buttloads of troops that subsequently stormed your butt, instead of just leaving you stranded with nothing to do but smash TV screens. I also wish that doors couldn't crush you to death when you opened them...

Just one. If Monolith's making another FPS, it needs to be Shogo 2. holy sh:t, i thought i was the only person who played that. That game kicked a$$ with its huge and agile mechs. A sequal would be great but its questionable about the publicity the first shogo got. From what I gather, it has a small but fiercely loyal fanbase, and Monolith is still getting regular requests for a sequel. It was also popular enough that it was the subject of a LithTech demo movie a while back. Had a guy wandering around a Shogo-style city, riding a Shogo-style subway, more wandering around the city, then getting stomped by an ... Ordog, I think it was. Spawned a fairly fierce bit of rumors flying for a little while.

LOL...that's actually a pretty good idea. Unfortunately, my present house doesn't have ceiling fans I remember my parents first house in HK in the mid-70s had ceiling fans and my elder sister and me had great fun putting toys on the fan blades, then turing on the fan and watching them fly accross the room Don't think my wife would agree to hanging toys from the ceiling though . Also, I'd probably be worried about the string breaking and the toys falling on baby. A 1/55 falling on to the head of a 7 week old baby from a height of 8 or 9 feet would probably not be good for babies health. Graham Install fans for just that purpose! Yah. Falling VFs WOULd be a hazard...

That's what string is for! Hang 'em from the ceiling! Tie 'em to the fan! May all your guests walk under a dogfight as they enter!

You modern gamers and your REASONS... When I was a kid, we shot robots for no reason whatsoever. And they shot us. Heck, we shot space rocks for no reason. We even shot abstract geometric shapes. Uphill through the boiling snow no less. And we were HAPPY!

They could always make it entirely out of anodized aluminum parts. Screw plastic. ALL METAL! I admit it, I love my metal. A toy isn't a toy if it can't double as a melee weapon.

Just one. If Monolith's making another FPS, it needs to be Shogo 2.

Just throw it in the pile of non-canon games along with 2036, Eternal Love Song, ETC. It's interesting how closely it parallels some of the in-continuity development, though.

I dont know a whole lot about corrective eyeware, so this may be off, but what if he was farsighted? Then he'd have a problem.

As I understand things, no. And the odds of a remaster happening aren't very good. If HG and Big West ever work out their diffrences(hahaha) then they may import the remaster for use in a japanese release, but as-is...

Yah. If I recall, the 1/55 VF-1 was the first properly transformable toy(no removing/replacing parts).

You hurt Sinistar's feelings. Now apologize. (Sinistar being the computer I'm using currently)

Depends on the state. And city. And issue implies it's a problem. Now before you "fix" the US, go "fix" Switzerland. More of the population owns guns there than anywhere else in the world.

*twitches* VOLTRON 3D DID NOT EXIST! IT NEVER HAPPENED! THEY DID NOT RAPE MY CHILDHOOD!

Like that's news.

Chip... I like that... Better yet... name him Microchip. And call him Mike for short.

Technically speaking, scale is a ratio too. Just not the same kind of ratio.

Hmm... Given that my vision is 100/400 when uncorrected, I guess I should give up on being a pilot, eh? 100/400? how thick would the glasses be? 100/400? That equals 20/80.

I have to say I think Isis is the best of the options presented.

I like Osaka too. She reminds me of myself FAR too often, though.

Damn... A flash cart and a GBO emulator! Well, it beats a giant kludged-together adapter/system... I dunno. Maybe I got lucky. Near as I can tell, either my eyes are more sensitive than most or my GBA is brighter than most(I DO know there's some variation in brightness from unit to unit). I actually stuff my GBA into my pocket too. Not that my keys ahve been kind to the screen, but... And it was a tight fit, but I could fit my GBO into it in a pinch(no games, though...). SNES has very nice sound, actually. GBA's not very stellar, since it's got basically the same sound hardware as the original GameBoy, but a few games really do get some nice tunes out of that little PSG. They could push it harder if the GBC mode Z80 was available for use in Advance mode(PSGs require a bit more processor power than more modern sound systems, and a spare processor dedicated to driving it would be very useful), but... That's my point. I don't like being held subject to their whim on how long I can use my games. That I have. And I did debate it, because I really hate the standard GBA's d-pad, and LOVE the SP's pad. It's either-or for me. Sure I can play Circle of the Moon in sub-optimal conditions, but on the other hand the light tends to wash out a lot of detail. On the occasions where I 've used an SP, I've actually wound up turning the light off. I'm evil like that. The way I see it is that they're covering their butts. If it bombs like the Virtual Boy, they haven't tainted the GameBoy name, and can just drop the same chipset into the (single-screen, non-touch-sensitive)GameBoy HyperAdvance for the next year. If it does good... Expect to see it relabelled the GameBoy DS, and an end to single-screen portables.
