Yeah, but I wonder how "human" you would think it is once you get up close to it?. My kids have a Fur Real Friends cat that is robotic, and moves etc. It's pretty impressive, unless you're within 5 feet of it, and then it's just plain creepy when it moves it's head, and you hear the gears churning when the motors kick in etc. -

Hmm, turds. They go in the same place this thread is going, like so many others before it. -

Doh, sorry, I didn't realize it was nearly 4MB. Too long have I had broadband, spoiled I have become. -
Still no word on the day or time of the panel... All I know at this point is that there WILL be one. Last year by this time, they had the full con schedule online for everyone to see, ah well.

I've had several Berettas, most of them were trade fodder (ssshhh) , but the last one I bought, was for my wife, because she didn't like my .45 Cal Sig 220. I got her the Beretta so she could have some fun too, but not hurt her hand with the bigger caliber. I'm old school, and hated to see the day that they took away my M1911 in favor of the M9. Granted, the M9 was way more accurate than the 50 year old 1911's that my MP Company had, but I much prefer the crowd pleaser .45 cal to the ghetto plinker 9MM. -
Cool, but if it were really life size, it would be 5'9" instead of 6'2". Arnie aint that tall.

Hmm, Chobits anyone?... Lonely men the world over, rejoice!, for your day has arrived. Granted, it will take them another 10 years or so to get the "girlbot" perfected, but hey, most of you have never touched a real girl anyway, so what's another ten years?. -
Macross 7: Is it really that bad?
Mechamaniac replied to farmer_yohei's topic in Movies and TV Series
What he said. I hated M7 at first, but it gets pretty good once you get 10 episodes or so into it. Continuing what Keith said, if you want more of the back story of Macross, then it's a great series. Not only does it cover the Protoculture, but it covers more of the Zentraedi & Meltrandi, and has tons of future character development of Max and Millia. Not to mention, continuing the Macross timeline, so you get to see what's going on in the Macross universe 40 years in the future. -

Are there any pics of the actors holding that tricked out race pistol?. To me, it just looks like a race pistol strapped to some dude's ass. And, it's cocked and locked. I don't care how cool you are, no instructor will let you pack a pistol like that unless you are online, and ready to go hot. -

What Macross Zero toy do you want after the VF-0S?
Mechamaniac replied to Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0's topic in Toys
First I'd like to see this toy go beyond vaporware. But then, I want a VF-0D!!! -
I'd rather see one of the DYRL pilots in the blue flightsuit than a Hikaru body with a different head, but it's cool that Max is getting some respect finally.
-
Yeah, we talked about this at MWCon, I seem to remember several of us volunteering to help.
-
SCUPUDA!! Hopefully, this makes it beyond vaporware.

That was so damned funny. I'm still laughing.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Mechamaniac replied to Stamen0083's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
That's part of the reason why I still can't close the book on Snape entirely. Even after he killed Dumbledore, and was fleeing with Malfoy, he refused to attack Harry. Granted, he said that Harry was for the Dark Lord, but he still made no overt action to harm Harry, even to hex or curse him. When Harry tried to throw the Crucio curse, Snape said "No unforgivable curses from you Potter." and when Harry kept trying to throw other curses at Snape, Snape kept blocking them, and telling (or taunting) Harry... "Blocked, again, and again, and again, until you learn to keep your mouth shut, and your mind closed Potter". Snape was still teaching Harry, still training him. Snape spent last year training Harry in Occlumency, something which Snape is very good at. This year, they are learning to cast spells without the incantations. In short, if Harry is ever to face Voldemort, he had better learn to block his thoughts, and cast his spells silently. I don't doubt that Snape hates Harry, but I think it is his mission to train Harry to face the Dark Lord. I think what Snape was saying, in essence, was "You think I'm bad?, wait until you face Voldemort!". And his comment regarding the Crucio curse was his attempt to keep Harry pure, to keep him from using an unforgivable curse. -
Nice! Hey, hang on a minute...I already did that! Great minds think alike... Welcome (back) to MacrossWorld! Edit, whoo, sorry for the big pic!

wow really? thats pretty cool. i wonder if his family will get that done? 312905[/snapback] I hope so. I mean, Johnny Depp is working on a specially constructed cannon to blast Hunter S Thompson off per his last wishes. So if it's good enough for HST, it's good enough for Jimmy Doohan. The difference is that unlike HST, noone has to build a cannon to blast Doohan's ashes into space. I bet any one of the current astronauts would give their left nut to have that honor on the next shuttle mission.
