CGI animation Nah. They were clones of the originals.

I would have thought the techs would alert somebody if he was bleeding that badly. Why would you see a pool of blood and then not go and ask to see if he was okay? It's not as if they didn't know who flew the fighter either. I don't know too many other fighter pilots with that sort of paint scheme on a Valkyrie. They were also commenting on his treatment of the vehicle. They knew EXACTLY who flew Skull One.

That's EXACTLY how I play! somethin' somethin' 30%? That's my heal spell. somethin' somethin' +3? Movement up. Lots of japanese, no #s? Auto-revive.

I think ExoSquad was an early 90s show. ... Not that it matters. My local KayBee still has toys from the 80s. If anyone needs a Terminator 2 toy, I know where to get one.

It's Claudia.

As is stated on the 8th card.

you like the G1 version of galvy over this? G1 galvy wasn't even close to the cartoon in any mode, this atleast looks like him in robot mode. Who CARED what he looked like. He turned into a tank AND a ray gun! With lights! And sound! LIGHTS AND SOUND, MAN!!! ... What?

Because it would "confuse people." ... Specifically the people that don't understand the diffrence betwen the products and keep asking for "uncut Robotech" or "undubbed Robotech" or some such nonsense. I read somewhere that Animeigo'd been trying to get the rights for DYRL, but the paper trail got too long for them to feasibly track down who, if anyone, actually HAS the license right now, so they dropped it. Same old story. And for once, it's one that doesn't involve HG.

I got a response: From: "Info Info" <xxxx@tokyopop.com> Date: Tue Sep 23, 2003 08:26:45 PM US/Eastern To: "Jeff Sorley" <xxxx@theroots.org> Subject: RE: Macross 7 Trash Hi, Macross 7 is temporarily on hold. More information regarding it will be issued as more information comes in. Thanks for your patience! Make of it what you will. Sounds to me that BW didn't like TokyoPop involving HG. What ever the outcome it seems to me that HG has more than proven that they're willing to have Macross and RT co-exist. As long as they get a piece of the action.

Well, I know I got the Cowboy Bebop Movie about two weeks before its street date at a Fred Meyer department/grocery store in Springfield, Oregon. I don't know if my local Suncoast (in Torrance, CA -- the Del Amo Mall) had it that early, but he told me they'd never release it before the street date, for fear of the studio embargoing future releases. I don't know, maybe movies and CDs do get shipped early. But believe me on this one, a videogame can get canned the day before the street date, and we'd never see it in the store. I remember a bunch of stores were selling Mortal Kombat early.

Emulator... http://www.mame.net. Nice GUI is very vague, so I'll offer my definition... http://www.mameworld.net/emuloader/ Games... http://www.mame.dk (currently offline due to the recent release of MAME 0.74 and people hammering it for the new rom image sets) Or http://www.planetemu.net (french, but easy enough to navigate)

Bit flashy for a ninja, isn't she? Not that I'm complaining at all, of course.

My favorite genre of movie is "not an insult to my above-gerbil intelligence". Regrettably, Hollywood doesn't make too many of these.

Dude, he promised he'd stop by for some salad. You tryin' to call Roy a liar?

Psychological warfare. It's one thing to see a jet flying in at you, it's quite another to see a human being towering over you ready to squash you like a cockroach. Well, they COULD have been engineered to grow a skeletal system laced with iron fibers to strengthen it. It'd seem to throw a wrench into the whole genetic compatibility thing, but... All we know for certain is that Komillia was defined as "very tough" by a rather calm Max when Millia threw her across the room to Misa(and missed, since Misa had to dive forward to catch her). One has to assume that means this sort of behavior was a semi-regular occurance in the Jenius household, and that it hadn't caused any major injuries(not to Komillia anyways). That would imply a signifigantly above-average durability in zentradi, even in infancy. ... Heh. I can just see Max explaining that to his parents. "Yes mom, my wife just through your granddaughter at you like a football."

Except I'd expect the squadron leaders were all ace pilots like Focker instead of raw recruits with a talent for getting shot down like Kakizaki. Attrition on the 30 1Ses should've been a LOT slower than, say, the brown 1As that they stuffed full of raw recruits with no flight experience, much less combat experience. If, say, 1 in 10 valks destroyed is a squad commander, than by the time the last 1S goes up in smoke, they're OUT of valkyries. Completely. If 1 in 5 is a squad commander, then they're down to 62 valks TOTAL by the time the last 1S goes up. It's a very simple equation, really. 182-30X = # ovf valks remaining after all 1Ses are destroyed, assuming no new ones are made or acquired. 182 = 212-XM = all non-1Ses on the Macross. M = # of non-1Ses destroyed for every 1S. X = # of 1Ses destroyed. Once you drop below about 1 in 4, you have a reasonable # of valks left over after complete 1S destruction. But the ratio shouldn't be that bad to begin with.

So ACTUAL backups as opposed to "backups of some guy in Taiwan's game"? In the US backups are legal, but only of your own software, not of Blockbuster's.

YES!

Having blundered my way through much of a Super Robot Wars game or 2, I think I can handle it.

Yep. Yamato loves you... for as long as your bank account/credit cards hold out.

You forgot to say "1 Toynami MPC" *runs*

No offenes, but... Since when is the Spartan an aircraft?

The Minicon Leader-1 comes with Megatron, not Optimus Prime. Prime's Minicon partner is named Sparkplug. The confusion arose due to the English dubbing of the Armada anime. The Japanese name for Minicon Sparkplug was named Leader-1 while Minicon Leader-1 was named Barrel. Since the scripts were written in Japanese, the English translators slip up in converting the Japanese names into English equivalents, such Starscream's Minicon partner sometimes called Grid instead of its real name Swindle. Optimus Prime's Japanese name, Convoy, sometimes show up. Oh. I didn't keep real close track of it. I just got Leader-1 associated with Prime by virtue of being good guy leader.

I still think the best use of the GoBots stuff is Leader-1 being the minicon that comes with Optimus Prime.

Can you find a link explaining the YF-12, which is by far a more common story?
