Lol. Did you really? I spell it Zentraedi...

My uncle had the entire Harmony Gold Macross Saga on VHS taped. It was awesome. I grew up on Robotech, the Akira movie, and the Nausicaa graphics novels, explaining my very picky tastes nowadays concerning anime and manga: I grew up with only the very best!

In my opinion, anything outside the original 6 volumes, I mean, the Rick - Lisa - Min Mei triangle series, anything outside of that doesn't have the same magic. The invid saga was... it was missing something. And I don't even bother to care anything about the newer Japanese "Macross" universe attempts because the fact is that Robotech is essentially AMERICAN. Heck, it's even a friggin Soap Opera!

Though I don't blame them. What Harmony Gold did was a once in a lifetime miracle. Take three unrelated Japanese Animes and splice them up and re-edit them and completely tear apart their original story to replace them with an entirely new story...and come out BETTER than the sum of its parts? WOW.

Oops! I stand corrected....you are spelling it right! But yeah, I remember Kairon very well....he had that pod with what looked like 2 colt 45's for arms.....awesome stuff.

My favorite ep was when Max kicked Myria's tail in that 3D videogame (that I wish would exist one day still!).....which then started the love thing.....and I learned a valuable lesson about life....women like a guy who can kick their azz!

Kairon · « **Reply #77 on:** April 09, 2006, 09:32:34 AM »

That had the best names! Kairon, Freetide, Equador....

BTW, I never did see an official spelling for any of those.... would you happen to know them?

I do know that the General's name is Breetai.....that about it.

Kairon · « **Reply #79 on:** April 09, 2006, 09:42:15 AM »

Lol, that whole Max - Miria thing r0x0red my box0rs! ... And thus started my infatuation with fiery independent and oftentimes homicidal female characters.

Oh, but your lesson should be appended: Women who kick guys asses are intrigued by guy's who can hold their own against them. It's not about dominance, it's that Miria finally found somebody she could respect. Oh but daaayumm... Max woulda gotten himself killed for being such a doe-eyed love puppy, lol.

Almost allowed me to forgive Miria for killing Roy... (See where the whole Soap Opera thing coems in?)

Oh, and Breetai huh? That's miles away from how I heard and spelled it...Freetide....lol.

Yeah, when Roy bought it, it was a sad day for me indeed. And I agree with your amendment...women respect a man who knows when to put his foot down and and can "tame the shrew", so to speak.....and yeah, I too am a sucker for "evil" (read: strong minded and fiercely independent) women....you think it's because of Robotech?

I love getting the girl that is mean to everyone else except you!

Kairon · « **Reply #81 on:** April 09, 2006, 09:50:31 AM »

LOL!

Man it's great to finally be able to talk about this with someone other than my younger brother!

Oh...but I have to confess...I'm a bad Robotech fan because I didn't buy the videogame.../cry

I didn't either......but I think I'm still going to Macross heaven because I did buy both VFX missions for PS1....and also have the Dreamcast Macross game. You can still redeem yourself though.....I'm pretty sure that you can get Battlecry used right about now for next to nothing, and then all will be forgiven!

So it has been advised, and so I go forth! What ho!

Well, I personally don't agree with this, but I WILL say that our boards have some of the smartest and most creative Nintendo fans on the Internet. Requiem and nemo (and others) made controller mock-ups that were quite similar to the NRC. I think the Zelda forward compatibility thing started in these threads a long, long time ago. And anyone remember BlackGriffen and his "long tail" thing before the VC was revealed? And our discussion has lead to many other good ideas.

Nintendo of Canada directly linked to one of our threads too

EDIT: Oops, I replied to this thread before reading the previous 10 or so posts. I can now say that this thread has devolved into something well beyond my reach.

How dare you bring this thread back on topic IceCold!

I called the Rev a GameCube on steroids after last E3.

I also created a thread titled "Hardcore Moms" that talked about reaching out to new gamers before Nintendo went into any details, but even Rick came out from under his rock and shot it down... not to mention the MILF references that ensued.

Hail ME, damnit.

So true IceCold.

When we make a point, it is not only well defined but also well written. We've had some amazing posts, and honestly, reading everyones' opinions on here is the main reason I come here. We contribute to the discussion and analyze a topic far more than many other sites. That said, it is always interesting.

Generally speaking, PGC has far less asshattery going on than most other forums.

And now we can understand why 480p support was removed from the Gamecube. It was to differentiate the Gamecube-called-Gamecube from the Gamecube-called-Revolution. Nintendo was planning this move back in 2004. Sneaky.

I think Nintendo just isn't revealing the specs because they cut corners on it big time and don't want to officially reveal it. All this de-emphasis on technology is likely due to one thing: Nintendo are cheapskates and have no problem with shooting themselves in the foot in the long term if it means they still make a profit in the short term. They don't want to spend the money on extra hardware so they're not going to. Using a new controller and focusing on innovation is a good way for them to keep costs down while still having some way to attract attention from the more powerful consoles.

Developing a completely off the wall controller that uses untried technology is not cheap. Writing API's for dev's to use to interface with that new controller isn't cheap. Give 'em SOME credit.

Kairon · « **Reply #94 on:** April 10, 2006, 08:16:06 AM »

Agreed Wesdawg, Nintendo had a choice between developing the groundbreaking controller and differentiating themselves, or throwing money at the hopeless problem of keeping up with Sony and Microsoft graphically.

It should be obvious what they chose. Iwata even stated that a TON of their money went into the controller.

Oh, and additionally, they've been running up against the problem of diminishing returns in a big way. This led them to believe that, as Yamauchi spouted, current graphics would suffice since there was very little left to improve upon.

The buttocks of a man with three-foot hips? The images your statement conjures up are... disturbing, to say the least.

And now for something completely different.. a man with three buttocks.

Excerpts taken from GoNintendo.com:

IGN Co-worker says Wii is “disappointing”
May 25th, 2006

“It’s just a Gamecube inside thats all it is, thats a little dissapointing…there going to charge kids $250 dollars just for a Gamecube… well there probably going to charge kids $250 for what is a peripheral...as Metroid exists today like on a typical controller I can pick it up and play it and enjoy it…you can pay $75 for this peripheral and $50 for online.” - Kathleen Sanders, co-worker of IGN

At least I not the only who thinks this way (mainly the 1st 2 excerpts).

mantidor · « **Reply #98 on:** May 25, 2006, 07:59:42 AM »

I cant believe you just cited an "IGN co-worker" as your source.

Did the GC had a physics unit? I think not.

Avinash_Tyagi · « **Reply #99 on:** May 25, 2006, 08:03:23 AM »

Yeah I heard about that person at IGN, she said pretty much the same things in an IGN podcast, the thing is, she's like the only IGN editor who feels that way so who cares, you can't please all the people.
