He was shown taking pills in one sequence. People are ASSUMING these pills were to suppress anger inherited from his zentradi father. It may very well be he just had a bad headache, which if I recall was supposed to be a side effect of the BDI system.

The battle has started. Teh doorknob cannon has been deployed.

No, they're druggies, remember? How is it, in a desolete wasteland, they're soo well groomed, when I can hardly keep food stains off of my clothes here?!? I don't like the animation, at least the fluidness off it - the fight scenes seem choppy. Look at the Kingdom Hearts - Deep Dive video for what it should look like. btw, for lovers and haters of FF7 alike, check out http://www.rpgworldcomic.com/. It does a great job of making fun of it. Also check http://www.adventurers-comic.com/ Which had a crossover sequence with RPG World at one point. And they spoof RPGs in general. FF7 just offers a lot of fodder.

I keep forgetting if it has a PS2 version. A bit of lookinh around ... http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/data/919042.html It has a PS2 version. Which is allegedly already out in Japan, though I don't believe that's at all accurate. Anyways, there's fairly credible rumors that Sony won't be licensing any more 2D games. If it comes out, it's likely going to be the last untill Sony's target audience realizes there's more to games than how shiny the graphics look.

I think that's GameCube. If I missed something and it IS multi-platform, make sure your PS2 is modded. Rumor is that Sony will no longer license 2D games for US release AT ALL, so it'll likely be a japan-only release.

Because not even armageddon can stop Professor X.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! My browser's playing aniGIFs back at entirely hte wrong speed right now, and that looks like she's having some sort of seizure.

Tried it but never had much luck Thanks for the links guys Hybridchild The trick is that when viewing a video on your computer, you probably need to turn down the hardware acceleration on your video card. In a Windows environment, right-click the desktop, select properties, click the settings tab, the advanced button, the troubleshooting tab, and move hte slider down towards "none". I think it's 2 notches from 0 where overlays are disabled and you can start taking screenshots of movies. Just remember to turn it back up when you're through.

IT's not only possible, it's extremely likely. Once the container responsible for keeping it compressed and heated is removed, it fizzles down to low-level plasma, AKA fire, and from there back down to just plain old gas rapidly.

Well, I like it.

I HOPE he was a canine, since I named him "Mutt"...

Yes. FF7 made no sense, and the ending answered nothing(though it DID imply that dogs reproduce asexually). THAT is the train of logic.

How about smart enough not to bother sifting through almost thirty pages. Once again, pinned mega-threads are a lame idea. 14 pages. Yes, I jack up the posts-per-page to the max on EVERY forum where it's an option.

Why rely on someone else when you can make your own? You have a computer. PrintScreen, a little cropping and resizing, and BAM.

And yet I loved Parasite Eve. Ditto for Xenogears. FF7's story was a trainwreck of plot holes and duct tape. FF8? They couldn't have made a drier, more cliche story/set of characters if they'd TRIED. And neither one has much gameplay to fall back on. And I find that to be one of the best released in the past several years. Even better than some of the SNES ones. To be fair, Square's SNES ports suck ass. I really think most RPGs need a good boost in difficulty. If the game doesn't offer me a challenge, I see no reason to play it. And FF4's battles aren't unwinnable, they just require you to pay a little attention instead of hammering on the fight command as fast as possible.

i like ff8 too. i don´t know why some people hate it. FF VIII ownz. no two ways about it. its the Best. Damn. FF. EVER. nothing before or after has compared. its a great damn game. It's one of the few games I have derived no enjoyment whatsoever from. In fact, the only game I've played that's worse than FF8 is Legend of Dragoon. Lamest weapon ever. I never saw that, so ...

For the same reaosn people click on threads that say "Harmony Gold" or "Robotech". We like to bitch as much as the next guy.

Given almost every game is a standalone title, I wouldn't call it a universe. And I dislike FF7. Don't hate it(that's reserved for , but I'm not very fond of it.

Yeah, and the Star Wars special editions are how they were 'originally intended' - irrelevant. Except the special edition wasn't written first, it was edited 20 years later, and the M+ movie was written before the OVA was even made, then the script was stretched out for an OVA. I didn't know there WAS a movie when I saw the OVA and I thought there were serious problems. When I DID see the movie, it was VERY evident to me that that was the way the story was intended to go, and wondered why the hell they'd even BOTHERED with the OVA.. Then I saw that blurb on MAcross Compendium, and everything made sense for the first time since I saw the thing. In exchange we're treated with TWO problems later. First, Guld accuses Isamu of not being there for Myung, and Isamu is thoroughly baffled. If he just got to the concert hall a few minutes after Guld did, it doesn't work. Isamu should have blown up right then and there. Now if he never even answered the phone because he was ... occupied, that conversation makes sense. He's just now finding out anything happened last night. Then Lucy comes out and starts talking about how he's not hers and she was wrong to not tell him Myung had left, and they haven't even established any sort of relationship? Yah, great. So Lucy gets to come off as completely insane and more than a little scary. At least Millia was HONEST about being psychotic, Lucy just broke in and deleted messages off his answering machine because she'd decided he was going to be hers despite going on exactly one date. A date that ended in a fistfight over ANOTHER girl, I might add.

I like it. Simple, subtle, and elegant. I usually have the UN Spacy logo showing. Or the hologram showing (i.e. shrinkwrap cut only on DVD spin side, so I slip the hologram on the backside where the Animeigo and HG logos are located). Am I the only one who thought about doing that? FYI, looks really nice. Wish I'd thought of that.... Cyclone: You know what it REALLY means is that MOSPEADA will have neon line art, right?

I'd say the opposite. The movie version removed so many parts to fit the time that it seemed disjointed and didn't flow as well as the OVA did. According to Macross Compendium, the movie is the story as it was originally intended. http://macross.anime.net/fallacies/index.html The OVA added parts. Some were good parts, I admit. But overall, I just felt the story flow was mucked up, and some of the additions were just crap. Optimally, I'd prefer a mix. Somewhere between the movie and the OVA. A bit more fleshed-out characters, but none of the nonsense with walking off from airplane crashes and over-contrived weapons accidents. But of the 2 options available, I'd rather have the movie.

Then a nuclear meltdown (granted, it's fission, not fusion) would be imaginary. Still wouldn't explode, I guess... A fusion reaction could just as easily get out of control, especially when we get to the point where cold fusion is a day to day occurrence. Of course, I can't rule out artistic licensing/anime physics, can I? :-D Well, a meltdown, like you said, isn't fusion and doesn't go boom. And a fusion reactor is a funny thing. Unlike fission, which requires an active effort to slow the reaction, fusion requires an active effort to keep the reaction going. If it fails, the thing gets cold. If the tank ruptures, the fuel currently in the reaction tank spills out, but it's a fraction of the total hydrongen, and it's already cooling. The fusion is already over when it leaves the tank, and a fusion reactor isn't generating near the power of a good h-bomb to begin with. You'd get a nice explosion, but nothing on the nuclear level. ... Hmmm... maybe if you could dump your entire fuel tank into the reaction chamber at once, and keep the reaction going... That oughta offer a big boom...

It's the same art from what I've seen(haven't had a chance to look at all 3 boxes, but I assume they're the same). UN Spacey logo on one side(my favorite side), Macross and specs on another, disk case art on the 3rd(least favorite side). The neon is what really killed it for me. If it'd all been rendered in black and white, it would've looked better, IMNSHO. Agreed.

Am I the only person that LIKES the AnimeIgo box? I do admit that the individual disk cases needed some reworking, though.

I don't know if this means anything, but the MS in Gundam is powered by a nuclear reactor. To further specify, they're powered by a fusion reactor. A particularly exotic variety of fusion reactor. I don't think either of those would work in reality.
