  1. *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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  5. I was under the impression it was a real made-up language, like klingons. Not that I'm the expert or anything.
  6. I recently threw most of my Matchbox one away. Kept the car-feet and chest fighter, since they were in good shape. It came with no fists and sword(I think we got a return someone else had sent back after losing the parts...). And most of the fasteners broke pretty fast, making for a Voltron that had no hands and fell apart if you looked at it funny, on the rare occasions you could get it together before everything fell off. And the helicopter blades lost the metallic paint, then broke off. Then the core chest unit fell off a shelf and split in 2. I was unamused.
  7. But electrical cars aren't cleaner. They just change where the pollution comes from. A rise in electrical cars will mean more electirical plants to meet the surge in electricity demand. And as lobbyists have made nuclear plants economically unfeasable, they will be burning fossil fuels. Most often coal. They are NOT clean power sources. Add to this the massive amount of batteries electrical cars need, which are disgusting devices when disposed of, and electrical cars really aren't worth it. There's also serious range problems with them currently. I say use hybrid cars. They're a nice compromise position.
  8. *shrugs* Maybe the people that survived Space War 1 were cynical and just assumed a second one would follow. Is that the answer? I doubt there IS an official answer.
  9. Umm, yah. No real surprise given they want to make a live-action movie out of the license. The only mildly surprising thing is that Spielberg is involved. I'm tempted to mail him a few copies of Land Before Time, to remind him that he CAN work in animation.
  10. Don't play many games?
  11. No, I'm of the opinion that he's totally nuts. That, or he's suffering from Herbertism. Make one fantiastic product, then kill the line with subsequent attempts at duplicating your success. The Patriots of MGS2 just really killed the whole franchise for me. MGS2 took the great parts of MGS and bent them to such absurd levels that there was no way I could really enjoy the story that much. The gameplay, on the other hand, was nothing short of amazing. Should I point out that MGS1 was attempting to recapture the success of a prior product? It's a direct sequel to Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake on the MSX computer, and most of it's amazing revolutionary gameplay ideas were implemented ages ago there. And of course, it added some silly bits, like making an army of genetically engineered super soldiers that can't see 2 feet in front of them, telepaths that read memory cards and controller ports, etc.
  12. And there are people in hell who want ice water, but some things just aren't gonna happen I see this one falling through the floor somehow. I'm HG is planning on doing this, they even got the character designer to do a cover for their robotech comic... how well it will be received is another question. If I recall, they intentionally involved Tatsunoko heavily in development precisely SO they could make a valid MOSPEADA sequel.
  13. I thought copyright was up for debate, but distribution right wasn't.
  14. ONLY in ePSXe. Well, I dunno. I got a friend to burn a CD full of different types of PS emulators and ePSXe was the only one the game would even load properly on. The others rendered the damn thing unplayable, or had a problem with recognising my joypad.. or SOMETHING. There's always something. Now I'm in Japan again but I didn't bring the games back with me, grrr... What plugins were they using, and what versions? I'm a big proponent of downloading and trying them yourself.
  15. Alas, we aren't considered owners. We signed some stupid UN treaty to suck the life out of the space race that said no one could claim any part of space. THAT is why we have no moon bases, no space colonies up, no whatever. Once we ceded our right to claim everything out there, we ceased caring aside from "Haha, we did it before the filthy commies."
  16. Even if it were for National security reasons? Nothing is worth the loss of a man's satellite TV.
  17. Oddly enough, I think I SAW that ad on TV here.
  18. Psychic powers! He can feel the incoming lawsuits through the force!
  19. Best. Commercial. Ever. I hereby give it the Officla JB Seal of Quality.
  20. *shrugs* Maybe the people that survived Space War 1 were cynical and just assumed a second one would follow.
  21. 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.
  23. 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.
