*cries* I liked Titan AE.

Hey, I'd watch it... ... I am a BAD person.

Oh. Sorry. No biggie. Yah. I'm just too used to people believing everything should be played on the keyboard(worst. gaming device. ever.) and refusing to look at anything else. Yah. The speed is great. It'd be pretty fun if there was a mode where you could just stomp the gas and not shoot at anything, just dodging bullets.

I *WAS* using a gamepad. Up to 16 now on Normal, can't seem to survive long enough to break 16. Oh. Sorry.

FEAR TEH GUNDAM VALK!

No. Scrambled Valkyrie featured only one model of variable fighter, the VF-1SOL.

Get a gamepad*. Better yet, a stick. Can't play shooters with a keyboard. ... Unless they're first-person. *I'm using a Saitek P880. 'S cheap(about 20$), and has a fairly accurate d-pad, as well as the now-standard twin analog thumbsticks in Sony-style locations. Though I think it's better without the software installed, so the "shift" button can be used as a normal key(makes a great "start" for emulator usage).

This game bears some striking similarities to the Vectrex game Web Wars/Web Warp. Helluva fun, anyways. Dude makes some neat titles. I recommedn Tumiki Fighters and A7Xpg also. rRootage and Noiz2sa are fun, but pretty generic. I haven't played the rest. http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/free/index.html

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.
