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.

I thought he was referring to the VF-X PS1 game.

I've still got an original gray brick and a yellow GBColor. And screw the SP. I've never found it a comfortable device to use, and have stuck to the standard GBA. It is a bit strange after the previous gameboys, but like a new controller you get used to it. Trust me, the benefits FAR outweigh the disadvantages. Well, the layout is back to the vertical orientation of everything else. Which disappointed me as the GB series has always felt a tad crowded to me. The GBColor was too small to play comfortably. Why would I want something smaller yet? I've never had a problem with lighting. Exception: Circle of the Moon. Dammit Konami, test your games on a real system before you release them! My GBA has a rechargable battery. 2 NiMH AA batteries. And these can be replaced when they go bad. That LiIon will be deceased in a few years, and you won't be able to get replacements because LiIon degrades from manufacture, instead of just with use. I have. Uncomfortable to hold, no headphone jack, and the "big improvements" are non-issues for me. I want a non-SP GBA with the SP's d-pad. Wait a second... that's the DS.

But with it as it is now, they at least have to acknowledge tha tit was the YF-19 carrying live ammo, and Guld had no interest in giving Isamu live ammo. Combined with the fact that ISamu INITIATED HIOSTILITIES, it makes for a very convincing case. If Guld's gun was the one loaded with live ammo, then the whole "Isamu tried to kill me" defense goes right out the window. Not really. It shows Guld would relish the opportunity, and that very likely the only thing stopping him was legal issues. He was grinning his head off at the idea of crushing Isamu's body into a bloody pulp under his VF's wreckage. Where is the logic in that? It's just more if the retarded fanboy fantasies you spew at every opportunity, most of which are completely unworkable.

Same here. So I nominate myself as G1 Megatron, for purposes of political incorrectness. WHEE! LOOK AT ME, I'M A TOY HANDGUN!

Last I'd heard Sony America wasn't letting Viewtiful Joe anything touch American soil on the PS2. Guess they changed their minds again. And has it escaped your attention that, SNK bundles excepted, EVERY ONE OF THE TITLES YOU LISTED has been launched with a bargain bin pricetag, or is set for one when it does come out? Remember, this is a complaint with SCEA, not Sony as a whole. The japanese and european game divisions are a lot better about letting good, but not so impressive graphically, games get released. I'm not making arguments up out of nowhere. I've seen the interviews. Top executives at SNK, producers at Capcom, and what originally drew my attention to the problem, a producer at Agetec. All of them have ranted about SCEA's licensing system. None so vehemently as SNK, since their games invariably look a tad dated. As a sidenote... SNK didn't WANT to do Metal Slug and KoF as bundles. It was just the only way they could get the license. BTW, according to both EB and Gamestop, SVC Chaos is an XBox exclusive in the States. Not that I consider them great news outlets, but they ARE in the business of selling games. If they can list Duke Nukem Forever(with a release date), surely they can list SVC Chaos PS2. Right? Some of the titles that come out in Japan, then get bounced for US releases just boggle the mind. And it can't POSSIBLY have anything to do with Sony denying licenses to perfectly good games while giving them to crap titles. The modern graphics whore didn't exist before the Playstation. Sure people LIKED nice looking games, but you would be hard-pressed to find someone that thought whether or not a game looked nice was MORE IMPORTANT than how well it played. This is what Sony America has done for the industry. BTW, you're ignoring something... 3rd party games are still licensed. They can deny licenses to games they don't like. The console makers have the ulitmate authority over what graces and disgraces their systems. If a lot of crap gets released, it's because the console manufacturers let it. And in my opinion, the PlayStation series has a long-standing problem with very large quantities of crap in it's library. Yes, I'm sure it has a tiny plastic shutter with all the structural integrity of a 3.5" floppy. Which isn't exactly impressive. BTW, better sound and image quality isn't really relevant to the media, unless you're using redbook audio on a CD-based game. If you don't believe me, compare a Super Nintendo or NeoGeo to a SegaCD. Rumors that I can almost guarantee are bullshit. Allowing you to save to the same media that your game is on is an accident waiting to happen(ROM carts use a seperate battery-backed RAM or FlashRAM chip for saving). And given the status with PS2 BIOS updates(or lack thereof), I'm betting Sony won't risk it on the games either. It'd be NICE if they imbedded a FlashRAM chip in the casing, but we know it's not going to happen. YAY! I thought it was supposed to be better with movies and (especially) MP3 playback, since most of the hardware was disabled for those. That's actually one of the things that disappoints me. I'm as likely to pop out Qix or Tetris as I am Circle of the Moon or Konami Arcade(the current busiest carts in my GBO and GBA libraries).
