  1. Even if it were for National security reasons? Nothing is worth the loss of a man's satellite TV.
  2. Oddly enough, I think I SAW that ad on TV here.
  3. Psychic powers! He can feel the incoming lawsuits through the force!
  4. Best. Commercial. Ever. I hereby give it the Officla JB Seal of Quality.
  5. *shrugs* Maybe the people that survived Space War 1 were cynical and just assumed a second one would follow.
  6. 2-way hip joints would be nice. Remember, teh Bandai valks can't move their legs in or out, just forward and back. Tehy're great toys, durability-wise. But they have all the posability of a rock.

    Turning a Rom To CD

    He's Fighting Mad!!! Actually, I'd have to disagree with him though- Most people simply call them ROMs now, whether or not it's technically accurate. It has become a catch all term for game files. I will resist it to my dying breath! Besides, we already had "warez" to cover that.
  8. Well, the BBC was trying to resurrect the series for another run. Hence the pilot movie, with the new doctor. And they wanted to have it running in the US at the same time. Hence the Fox airing(if I recall, Fox was going to be co-developing it). But as I recall, the ratings weren't high enough for Fox to follow through with their part of the deal. THAT I don't know.

    Turning a Rom To CD

    cd-rom? if its a iso format you can burn the image if its not im sure theres a converter somewhere to convert it to iso. A. CD-ROM and ROM are diffrent things. Lacking the CD- it means a microchip. B. You still can't download a CD-ROM, just a disk image. lol lets fight this out cuz i realy got nothing to do and im bored. rom... read only memory? its a real thinker *shrugs* It's along-standing gripe of mine. I've finally gotten over the need to verbally abuse everyone that uses ROM instead of ROM image, but I can't make myself let it fit disk images too.
  10. 2) The Varauta system is in the vicinity of the "center of the galaxy". It is also the area where Megaroad-01 is believed to have disappeared. But considering that the "center of the galaxy" is a huge area to cover and is vastly unexplored by humans, they could be anywhere or not even there. Yah. They could've just as easily fallen into a wormhole and come out in the Crab nebula.

  12. It was immediatly before it. Robotech 2: The Sentinels was to deal with what happened to Rick Hunter and company after they left Earth aboard the SDF-3. It would've taken place concurently with the Southern Cross segment, actually, and ,unless I'm mistaken, ended with the beginning of the MOSPEADA portion.
  13. ONLY in ePSXe. Sheesh, it's almost as bad as NESticle and NES games were.
  14. Actually, it was a backhanded attack on ALL shows that do that, not just Macross Zero. Possibly the worst offender of this in my book is Star Trek. Every time they put out a new show, they get a new ship (which is perfectly understandable), but they also redesign almost everything else. Uniforms, shuttlepods, hallways, various rooms within the ships, etc. All for the sake of just being able to do that. That royally irritates me to no end. I mean, the ONLY consistant uniform seen in any Trek show is in the TOS movies. Otherwise, a uniform lasts only once per show (or even less, depending on how many times they redesign it). The same applies to the bridges, science labs, holodecks, shuttles... it never seems to end. And you're right about those nozzels looking pretty silly. But that's how the ship was designed in the original show, for whatever reason, and I'm really glad they're keeping it that way in the new show. Actually, Deep Space Nine started with the curent style of Next Gen uniforms(black with colored shoulder area, the inverse of the original Next Gen uniform). And Voyager started with the then-current DS9 uniforms(which were still black with coulored shoulders). And kept them through the whole series. Next Gen redesigned uniforms once. Likely because the colored suits were ugly. DS9 redesigned once, too, if I recall. When they started the Dominion War story arc, they introduced uniforms that were supposed to look more military. As for the technology facelifts... Yiou have to remember that the Voyager is something like a decade newer than the Enterprise D, AND built as more of a combat vessel than a flying science lab. It's quite entitled to a visual overhaul. DS9 wasn't even built by the Federation, so it's automatically exempt. And the Defiant was explicitly built as a Borg killer. Again, it's allowed to look diffrent than the Enterprise D. Voyager's diffrences from the Defiant can be covered by argiuing that the Defiant's design style didn't become standard because it was never introduced into proper service. But really, this is a series that can't even maintain continuity from one episode to the next, much less one series to the next. There's better things to pick on than the odd redesigns of sets and props to change the aesthetic.
  15. Mine was a christmas gift. Free < 20$.
  16. Nope. A common misconception, but no. As the magnetic fields of the rail gun push the projectile forward, they also push the gun backward, because the 3rd law of motion kicks in(every action has an equal and opposite reaction). True, a railgun can use smaller slugs for the same damage than a conventional firearm, reducing recoil for the damage dealt(the same force on a small object gets a lot more acceleration than on a large one), but the Monster is firing shells that are almost 2 feet wide. That's a LOT of mass, which works to a lot of momenteum, which means it takes a lot of force to change it's velocity. And they're making rather large velocity changes to it(0 to supersonic in fractions of a second). So a not-insignifigant amount of force is dumped back into the Monster. Making matters worse, a railgun can't use the conventional recoilless modification of venting some of the propellent gas out the back, because there's no propellant to vent. So you just have to make the cannons able to slide back a bit, brace yourself, and hope for the best.
  17. Not if I give him this rat's tail first!
  18. Wtih luck, dead. ... Of course, with luck Cloud would be dead adn they would never mention FF7 again...
  19. WHAT UP WITH BAHUMAT? Sheehs, that is one UGLY dragon.
  20. Hey, I only piss on Beast Wars. There's just something inhereintly wrong about Transformers that fold into animals instead of big steely mechanical contraptions. Yeah, but beast wars was great Show Wise, and had some really great toys too. I could never get into it, though. I wanted cars and jets and cassette tapes and handguns. ... Why cassette tapes and handguns? The world may never know.
  21. Not likely, since as far as I know, there's no big demand in Japan for MOSPEADA merchandise. And why in the world are you spreading image files around as Word documents?

  23. The paralell connector existed a lot later than anyoneg ave it credit for. The early Dual Shock bundles had it, and those were pretty late in the system's life. MOST PS1s have that port. And it's not surprising you don't have porblems. You're using a real PS1 instead of an emulator. PS1 emulators suck pretty badly.
  24. Blech. Tried VGS before. Color dithering sucks.
  25. Ah...crystal dreams...I can't help but laugh everytime someone brings it up. The pictures flood back into my memory of a valkyrie that looks like it was made out of cardboard boxes . Where is Opus anyway? Heh. I spent way too much time waiting for that game to come out.
