I've been checking my WalMart since I first saw this thing mentioned. Mine only carries the other bots.

I've seen that like a million times and never realized! I'd always assumed he was on-duty during that scene, but I never thought about why there was a flight helmet there if that was the case. *kicks self*

Hikaru's weapons tend to be good all-around, as I recall. Not as much power in any mode as Max's energy chain and Millia's big blaster, but more powerful overall. As well as better at hitting hard targets. The lasers were the best piercing weapon by far, and the grenades were the best vertical weapons by virtue of power and predictability(the homing laser did some retarded thigns sometimes, and Millia had no real vertical strike capability). I suck at side-scrollers, though.

Right. Those jillion in one systems are just plain piracy. Anyone that would believe one is legal is an idiot. No offense.

The only thing I saw in the FAQ that was relevant was about a flaw in the included reverse-engineered CD system cards. And given I know of no other PCE/TG-16 emu that even comes with reverse-engineered BIOS images, that would place Magic Engine far ahead of the competition. ... Though I use dumps of the system cards anyways.

On what difficulty level, and with what pilot? Some levels are a LOT harder with the wrong pilot(Max's only really powerful weapon is NOT RANGED, for example, which makes many enemies a pain in the butt).

Or some sort of "programmable" paint. The pilot just has to create a color scheme and feed it into the computer, which realigns the pigments as needed. Intended for stealth purposes(adaptive camoflauge), but the pilots keep defeating the purpose by wiring it up in bright primary colors. The worst part is there's similar products being developed now. Only for "smart" paper instead of fighterplane skin.

Actually, as I understand it, the gold aura you get when you don't fire is called a minmay beam or something similar. And it turns enemy vehicles to your side. So they may be more like Mac7 than you realize. ... And the chain weapon that Max uses in GERWALK mode is pretty obviously a relative of the pinpoint barrier seen on the YF-16 and -21. And Millia's battroid weapon is over-powered enough to be related to that snap-on super cannon the YF-19 uses in one scene of Mac Plus. ... DAMN YOU ALL! NOW I'M DOING IT TOO!

What makes you say that? Because no one ever uses my ideas.

No you cant if opened there is a restocking fee of 15%. I knwo i used to sell them at Best Buy I don't work at Bestbuy but I returned stuff at Bestbuy before too. And not all customer service rep will charge that 15% restocking fee. They don't even do that on computer videocards. If they do charge just comeback another time and do it again, but this time just said it's defective and you want another one. Now you'll have a brand new item that's not open. Now you can return for a full refund because of the first defective item you lost intrest in the item alltogether. I work as a CSR before so I know what i'm talking about. You can even return a item for store credit that you purchase somewhere else, like game, movies, anthing that has the same barcode. You just need to back up your lie all the way to the end. Also there's lots of stores that will give full refund within 14 days. SEAR, K-mart, Target, Frys. EBgames even let you return games for a different one with'in 7 days. On the flip side, someone at Customer Service for CompUSA once tried to charge me a restocking fee on an exchange because the packaging was damaged. A quick discussion with the manager fixed that.

If one wanted to try and fit M:SV in, it has to take place before the launch of the Megaroad 1, as Hikaru is unavailable after that point in the timeline. The Max and Millia paint schemes, as well as Max and Milla's presence in Valkyries instead of QRaus IMPLY, but do not PROVE, post-TV continuity, as opposed to post-movie continuity. But Scrambled Valkyrie's actually one of those "Who cares about the timeline? Let's just whore the license" games like the PCEngine CDs were. ... Fortunately Macross does VERY GOOD in those kinds of games, especially when compared to the (generally disliked) games that DO fit the continuity(VFX series and M3).

Or they could just claim there's a fundamental flaw with the "YF-4" design. This flaw sends the designers back to square 1 to rethink teh plane. In the meantime other companies come up with next-gen vehicles that DO work properly. Hence why the Alpha is used later instead of the VF-4. And the fact that MOSPEADA has a VF-4 lookalike makes it even better, since they can retain it in the story. Claim the YF-4 was re-designed as a non-transformable fighter after the Alpha went into production. ... Of course, the odds of them ACTUALLY doing this are pretty slim.

Texas is a bit insane. As I understand it, the law here is that you are authorized to use deadly force to stop any crime that can't be stopped in any other way. That means that you can shoot someone for running off with your salt shaker if you can't catch up with them. ... It also means you can shoot a carjacker, but can't try to shoot the tires out as he drives off, as a firearm is automatically classified as deadly force, and soving things in a non-lethal manner oproves deadly force wasn't needed. Screwed up, I tell ya. The INTENT isn't bad, but the actual implementation leaves something to be desired.

It DOES look a lot better. ... Can someone confirm that he's using his engine as a laser gun?

LMAO! YEAH RIGHT! This is incredible. But knowing me, I'll prolly frakk around and get it anyway. Be sure and tell us what was "added".

Voldo. And Astaroth(is he back for SC2?). voldo throws me off with all his wierd motions, and Astaroth is just good at smacking me around like a rag doll.

Icarus died for not heeding his father's warnings about staying away from the sun, BTW.

And don't forget to checck and make sure your sound card and speakers are both actually turned up and that the speakers are on.

*sniffles* I have a sonmay CD. Didn't know they were bootlegs when I bought it.

I've heard they were discussiong putting DigDug in at one point. That would've been awesome beyond words.

Well, I'm not very good at the genre, and I usually get owned after comitting to a move that misses. Typical example: Maxi moves in, swings his nunchucks, misses, and sits there spinning them while the other person uses the (large) oepning to smack him in the head with a sharp pointed object.

Cool, learn something new everyday. It would be nice to see some Animeigo discs on the shelf for once. As for my acronym, I wrote it half-dreary at my desk this morning. I was thinking Worthless Human Beings for the last three. The rest was accurate. I don't even know if that was a good way to describe HG, I will just stick with Steaming Pile of Crap. I like With Heavy Bullshit.

Had an F-16C taken down during a trip to canada. 88-0357. Taken down by pelicans in the intake and through the canopy glass. Pilot landed in a tree and only bruised his arm. Back to topic, the VF-22's nosecone is my pick. I saw the craziest thing on tv one night. I believe it was shock tv. This plane was on the deck of a carrier preparing for takeoff and a crew member got sucked up into the turbin. The turbin just spit him out the other side. Crazy I tell you. As for favorite nose cone. I vote for the VF-11. Its got that bird of prey look to it. It almost looks like a beak. The guy who got sucked in the "carrier plane"..did he survive ? Depends on the incident. I know at least one did. I would suspect they ran a survivor story, so people got the "OMG HE WENT THROUGH A JET ENGINE AND LIVED!" factor. Lot more fun than "this man was thrown into a blender that travels at mach 1.5".

On SC1 I'll play as anyone but Maxi and Voldo. Not very good with the large slow characters, though. My playstyle tends towards fast characters that don't do much damage, but do it fast. HAven't played Soul Edge/Blade, and my SC2 experience is very very limited.

Man I loved that movie as a kid. Haven't seen it in ages.
