    I REALLY wish you UFO nuts would stop taking photos every time I fly home to visit the family. I don't take pictures of YOUR weirdo cars.

    It gets better/worse. Every successive JoJo seems dedicated to being more ridiculous than the last. Personally, I actually like how Johnathan's arc is all straight-laced and very serious while ALSO being over-the-top bananas. Later arcs just go for the bananas right from the start.

    Seems like the VB-6 was being fielded around the time of +. I'd guess that was what put ye olde Monster out to pasture. They were probably decomissioning the fixed-mode destroids as they took VB-6 deliveries... which I guess means that the big guys stayed in operation on the colony worlds and fleets for years and years. Doesn't look like the big guy saw any major upgrade aside from the mark 2, so it woulda been looking pretty dated. No hundreds-of-megawatts reactor means no energy-converting armor or beam cannons or rail guns were plausible, though they'd all be desirable updates. Just good ol'-fashioned explosive propellants and real armor plating(and shock absorbers like you ain't never seen).

    I'm sure the usual suspects will chime in with a more comprehensive answer, but I gather it was a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", followed by "If we're fixin' it, give it wings". Valks filled a lot of roles the other destroids were built for, but "transporting and firing guns larger than a Valkyrie" wasn't one they were capable of handling. Though I believe the Monster in Plus was retired, just because they don't usually blow up useful hardware.

    Probably. I blew up a bunch of V'gers in the Vectrex Star Trek game, but they didn't look much like the one in the movie.

    Nope. Lots of close-ups, no full silhouette shot.

    For a brief period right around when it came out, there were about a dozen threads about "Hollywood ripped off Macross Plus" active at once, and it got KIND OF ridiculous. And then the decree came down that enough was enough, everyone knew, and we should shut up about it and find something else to be angry about. (Very rough paraphrase)
  8. JB0
    I like Stealth, and think the Macross Plus comparisons are overblown. But at least mentioning it isn't completely verbotten anymore.

    I'm just surprised it isn't a white repaint of Prime v3, or a Megatron v3.

    In fairness, they don't usually want to use more than names in the movie adaptations anyways. Better to attach familiar names to unrelated nonsense and then sell it as an adaptation of a beloved franchise. (I'm still a little surprised that Bay's "Optimus Prime" turned into a truck.)

    A kind of ice cream, I think.

    Haven't MOSPEADA fans suffered enough at HG's hands already? No one deserves Shadow Chronicles.

    Why not, Robotech's stolen from everyone else at this point, and the artists gotta trace something.

    Kickbacker, reporting in. It is pretty good in almost all respects. It definitely has the look and feel of a GBA or DS Castlevania game. I feel it draws a lot of play inspiration from Order of Ecclesia. My only complaint is the writing. Let us just say it leaves something to be desired at points. (I think the game as a whole would be greatly improved by removing one single scene. And rewriting that scene to be less ham-handed could easily achieve the same goals without bludgeoning the player in the face with a crowbar.)

    I never had a Saturn either. Windows 95 and XBox OG ports(the latter as part of PD Orta).

    Okay, guys, seriously. How are we all still talking about Final Fantasy 7 Episode 1 when there was a friggin' PANZER DRAGOON REMAKE on the floor?
  17. JB0
    I'm half-surprised it doesn't have bright white panel lines.
  18. JB0
    Thanks, I didn't know the R-Type Finaler fundraising drive had started. Edit: Oh my gosh, they have a picture up of an R-9 in Skull-1 colors!

    It is obviously a water gun. Beachcomber is ALL about watermotorsport.

    Ingen's company has the best PR division in the world. Spared no expense. Thought we learned that from Jurassic World. They opened a new park on the old site and it was standing-room-only.

    Well, I missed the show and didn't have the cash free anyways. Hopin' for a proper US release announced later.
  22. JB0
    I watched this trailer solely because of this line and was disappointed to see it was moon buggies on the moon and not, like, everyone trying to pass Starman's Tesla.
  23. JB0
    NOPE. The whole "toon accuracy at all costs" thing just makes him look incredibly derpy. And his shoulders are hilariously awkward with how far back they are. Some of that's just because he's a slavishly accurate Hound, but... I thought in the cartoon they slid forward and down so they were under the fenders, meaning this isn't even cartoon-accurately derpy?
  24. JB0
    Well, yeah, but any blow to HG is a win for us and IT IS HAPPY DANCE TIME! Next stop: US court, and then Mac+ BluRay sets!
  25. JB0
    I'm trembling with excitement! Finally, it is happening!
