One of 2 things, actually. Spirits Within didn't make NEAR what they expected(didn't even cover production costs), but FF8 also fell massively short of sales expectations. They probably could've handled 1, but not both. ... Though the Square/Enix merger was a VERY logical move. It united 2 of the bigger names in the industry, and made a company that had both programming and publishing capabilities. Before the merger, Enix had no programmers. Even their legendary Dragon Quest series was licensed out to other companies for development. And Square had no publishing facilities, relying on companies like Sony and Electronic Arts to publish for them.

Heck yeah! ACTIVATE THE CANDY CANNON!

The ARMDs were the original docking plan for the TV series anyways. The only reason Daedalus and Prometheus were there is Britai blocked the ARMD docking maneuver in the TV series, which was followed by a fold gone wrong, leaving them with a lot of extra people to defend, and a lot less equipment than they were supposed to have. The Daedalus and Prometheus gave them more stuff and a place to store it. The Daedalus' destroids replaced the weapons of the ARMDs and the Prometheus' VF-1s replaced the fighters of the ARMDs. It makes a lot of sense as long as you're overhauling the Macross to replace a jury-rigged retrofit with the parts that were made to go there.

I think the marriage you saw was in Robotech 2: The Sentinels, which was aired as a TV movie in a vastly incomplete form(since they only made the first 4 episodes). Though Hikaru and Misa did wind up married in Macross.

Probably at the same time. *walks away whistling innocently*

They were used in one episode. The one where they were capturing hte factory satellite had VF-1s mounted on exit boosters.

I would guess a lamp of some sort. It seems like a good idea to me.

Recommendation: Pretend the anime never existed, and that Geist is JUST a mascot.

So NOT 1:1?

Well, it's a great introductory toy. If ever a plane was built to be thrown at a wall and pretend it was flying, that's the one. i already gave him a banpresto hikaru and it's in pieces already lol ahh well...can't buy him that toy until he learns not to break his other toys Find an old Jetfire at a garage sale.

An overabunance of hormones?

Is that the same Warlords made by SSI? I loved that game on my Uncle's old Mac. *blinks* Nooo... It's the one made by ATARI. You know, before companies like SSI with their fancy-pants STRATEGY games existed.

Such is hte glory of the VCS. It keeps the opponent in arm's reach.

I say screw LAN. An Atari VCS with Warlords and 3 friends is the most fun you can have in the single square yard that VCS controller cables allow you to occupy. If you thought throwing pencils was fun, try slapping people in the head.

Yah. Should be. According to Macross Compendium, a team leader has 2 valks under his command. A squadron commander has 2 teams under his command, for a 7-plane squadron(3*2=6 valks + 1 squadron commander). And a group commander has 2 squadron commanders(did we ever see any of these guys? I refuse to acknowlede that Roy had a superior officer! ). http://macross.anime.net/mecha/united_nati...ions/index.html

Orguss.

Or you could use Mozilla NOW.

The focal length varies with aperture and lens length(if you have a zoom lens). And it's always good to be able to focus manually. Autofocus lacks any sense of aesthetics, or even a really reliable way to tell what the subject is. Never trust it. Yeah I know. I didn't want to get technical with him, cuz I don't know his level of photography knowledge. Basically, I just wanted to tell him he was standing too close. Point made.

Quick test: Is your monitor connected to something, or just black? That's one thing that just about every PC has, is a graphics adapter.

I've got a Homebrew Computing Mark V. Features include: An AMD Athlon XP 2500+ CPU. 256 megabytes of 133MHZ DDR RAM. A GeForce2MX video card, with 64 megabytes of video RAM. A SoundBlaster Audigy. A 4/8/32x CDRW drive. A LS120 SuperFloppy drive. Lacking media and not using floppies much, the primary advantage is my BIOS ID's it as an ARMD(which stands for ATAPI Removable Media Device, but who really cares what it's SUPPOSED to be?). A Wingman Action gamepad, for, well, gaming(at least, games suited to gamepads). No fewer than 3 pointing devices(1 serial mouse, one PS/2 trackball, one USB trackball). 2 hard drives, a 20 gig and a 14 gig, both 5200 RPM. The Windows 2000 operating system. Yes, some parts need a little upgrading.

Assuming that you actually EARN the force. It could totally random. Even worse, it may be specially bestowed upon players by the actual humans running the game(though it's very doubtful). Just something to think about.

Ah. The D-21 is currently in service with NASA, if I recall.

Should be. Otherwise you risk debris flying into your turbines.
