    I think that's what I'm thinking of. If I recall, the extra junk was cut&pasted off of something from Gundam 00.

    By which you mean "made of parts imported from Gundam CG models"?
  3. JB0
    Maybe it unlocks both!

    And that doesn't even require a lot of revising of history. Pretty sure that SDF showed Destroids messing up streets on more than one occasion, making it rather clear they are not really a good choice for infrastructure preservation in an urban environment. Heck, the Monster is even shown wrecking up the deck of the HANGER THEY PARK IT IN as it stomps out before the final battle in episode 27(an event which is all kinds of illogical, but also OH SO COOL). You definitely don't want one of those bad boys clomping along on your sidewalks and cutting through your parks. It really puts the occasional dog turd in a new light.

    Honestly, if I can be allowed to nerd out, I think they've confused the interlace toggle with mode 7. Or conflated them. Interlace mode DOES double the vertical resolution and halve the frame rate. But it has nothing to do with mode 7 except that it can be enabled in that mode(as well as in modes 0-6) if the program commands it(few do). Also possible they confused the high-res feature, which doubles the HORIZONTAL resolution. That would make them completely wrong since high-res is modes 5 and 6. System behavior also implies interlace is only MEANT to be enabled in modes 5 and 6. The biggest ACTUAL limitation of mode 7 is that it can only operate on one BG layer, and all other layers are disabled for any line drawn in mode 7. (That's why the status bar disappears during the fight with King Koopa in Mario World, incidentally. It lets him fly into the top of the screen.) Edit: Alternatively, I may be reading that backwards and they're saying that BG mode 7 was ugly to keep the frame rate up. Which is... well, completely untrue. The transformations are very rapid due to a significant amount of fixed-function hardware being thrown at the task. The Super Nintendo dedicates an appreciable portion of the PPUs specifically to manipulating mode 7 objects, hardware that sits idle in ALL OTHER MODES because it is useless. Mode 7 is ugly because it is a 1024x1024 bitmap being manipulated for display through a 256x224 view window using low-cost late 80s silicon. They COULD have put in a TMS34010 in the system and gotten higher-quality output(and a much more versatile VDP), but it would've raised the price point significantly, as would including the RAM needed to use a higher-resolution bitmap(and they actually shipped the Super Nintendo with half the RAM it was designed for due to cost).

    As long as it is a guilty pleasure. Personally, I think Enterprise as a whole is better than Voyager, but that's damning with faint praise.

    Total boner-killers, which is usually the opposite of what you want in a porn scene.

    I remain surprised that byuu's intending to integrate it into mainline bsnes. ... And remain unsurprised by gizmodo's incompetent writing. Mode 7 was a hack that reduced the frame rate? Really?
  9. JB0
    Oh. Oh wow. I'd missed that part of the long-running trainwreck.
  10. JB0
    Well-played.
  11. JB0
    Fair enough. Well, I meant in terms of damage control. "Hey, this is Kirk. Did you guys know you can reverse time just by flying near a star?" "Stop breaking causality! If you tell anyone at all about this we're ending your great-grandfather!"
  12. JB0
    Eh, they lifted the idea from Trials and Tribble-ations anyways. ... Actually, one wonders what they DO about things like the slingshot maneuver and the Guardian of Forever. Kirk found a lot of ways to make time travel EASY.

    I'm usually a dirty toy supremacist, but I kinda like Swoop being diffrent-colored. He already doesn't match the other four because of his thin lanky build in a team of bulky, brutish brawlers. (That and not turning into a dinosaur. :P )

    To say nothing of Kirk's escapades. One assumes Janeway had someone who was aggressively unfond of her role in history, to get the kind of hands-on attention she recieved.

    Hey, Kakizaki's a pretty likable guy. Though I strongly suspect he was voted in as a joke, and people underestimated how little love Hikaru was gonna get.
  16. JB0
    That was fast. ... I once again wonder at the point of preorders if it isn't to figure out how many copies need to be made to meet demand.
  17. JB0
    I've got one thing to say to that: BOMBAAA!!

    He must buy the "vulcans don't have emotions" bs they're always spouting. Quinto did his research, and understood that vulcans in general, and Spock in specific, have powerful motions beneath the surface that they keep in check with will. Still waters run deep, as they say.
  19. JB0
    That's fair. I feel like it is really good at the concept and outline stages, but Nasu isn't a great writer and desperately needed an editor. The /stay night animes are stuck because of it. And then there's the wall of stuff that just uses the name on something unrelated.
  20. JB0
    And I still am.

    " in spite of broadcast guidelines explicitly prohibiting them from airing it " Good way to make sure your show is cancelled midway and your company shut down when it can't pay the fines.
  22. JB0
    So you're saying that broadcast anime needs to have explicit bangin' illustrated, in spite of broadcast guidelines explicitly prohibiting them from airing it? Because I honestly enumerated every "adult" scene in the original game, as well as all the racy content ADDED by the animation studio. (Also, both sex scenes in the Fate route are terribly written and incredibly unsexy, and the story is better for their omission.)

    So you're saying that there's a new Mortal Kombat game, and it doesn't have full-frontal nudity? ... I must be seriously be out of the loop, because I don't recall ANY Mortal Kombat having full frontal nudity.
  24. JB0
    Not really 'nuff said, because I have zero idea what you're talking about.
  25. JB0
    Fate/Stay Night isn't actually that racy. The first anime omitted one sex scene, rewrote a second one completely, omitted one bath scene, and added a few episodes of Sakura wearing a dominatrix outfit.
