http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y143/Uberbucket/breetai.jpg Nope, no cybernetics ever in Macross. Not even a technology base to work from at all... Should have specified that I was looking at it in terms of application on normal humans, not Zentraedi, and it was a pretty big jump from Breetai's fa...

Haven't watched 22 yet, but I'm rapidly running out of steam. The show started off really good and fun, capturing a lot of the feel of the original series, now I'm starting to feel like Kawamori's Macross 7 desire to go totally fucking stupid with it has caught back up with him. I mean, I can see th...

Speaking of that, I'm gonna take an opportunity to ask something I've been wondering about for a while: do Robotech fans as a generalized whole really care a whole lot about the Southern Cross and Mospeada portions of the show? It seems like the vast majority of coverage and stuff like merchandise ...

US Army doctors do not go through combat training. They get directly commissioned as Captains, and get basically enough training as to be able to put on their uniform, and give orders to enlisted medical personnel. They don't necessarily learn how to shoot a gun, unless they do it on their own time...

I just finished my first playthrough tonight, and most of my gripes are the same ones I'm seeing here. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the game, and though the main story was a bit short, I thought it played out very well and felt like a good sci-fi movie, if a little less than epic at times. I enjoyed...

Here's hoping it's closer to the original series and Plus than to 7 and Zero, though if they just keep out anything remotely close to Basara and Spiritia they'll be good to go.

Here's also hoping through some sort of magic this get's a domestic DVD release.

He was? I somehow must have totally missed that little gem of dialogue in at least a dozen playthroughs of both games. Where do you find that out?

Who was Harold's father? Or are you thinking of the Raider boss whose father the Dweller killed?

No Spartan of any class has ever infected by the Flood, so their susceptibility is unknown.

What difference would it make if Johnson is a sparrtan-1 OR he has some rare neurological disease? Either way there would have to be something unusual with him for him to have any resistance at all.

Oblivion, no contest. Not as buggy as Two Worlds, more visually appealing et cetera, ad nauseum. Two Worlds isn't a bad game, 'specially considering it's the studio's first title, but if you want the most out of your money, you're better off getting Oblivion.
