On Megatokyo....

[SAMAS]

Anyone notice that the shirt Ed is wearing has PS3 on it?

[Kelly Antilles]

Why don't you just email Fred-san and ask him. He did draw it. Ed's had that PS3 shirt on since they were on the boat arriving in Japan. Ping-chan is so cool! And L337 M45T3R Largo is quite funny. Glad to see his guardian hampster is back.

Oh, and I loved the last one with Ed going up the elevator listening to Fly Me to the Moon. My question is... whose version was it? Was it Megumi Hayashibara? (which I have on mp3 and is really good)

[Mr Bean]

I'm more amused by the Heat-sinks and Computer styled Cooling Fans on the front and back of the gun

[Rob Wilson]

If you can get CNX on Sky Digital, then watch it. Not only does it show all animé uncut, but my bro says they show these Hong Kong action films too, one had some agent from a building top sniping a motorcade with a Barratt .50 and blasting their roofs to bits.

Yes i have CNX, I don't recall that movie though, and they have some very funny films, watch Guns and Talks sometime, very funny.

Heh, all we need now is a few issues that are real mindfucks.

On that note, I like the Fly Me To The Moon version sung by all the female characters in NGE, everytime I see the end of Space Cowboys and that song plays I can't stop singing to it.

That's the JSSDF Type-20 Positron rifle prototype, which NERV never gave back.

Oh, and the fuses had to be changed, not circuit breaker. Circuit breaker wouldn't make any sense.

Sense? NGE? You realise those two words don't belong in the same sentence.

It's a fun Anime with very nice designs, but nothing in it makes any sense even by the Anime's own internal logic. Why have the weapon fired by an EVA? motorise it and you have precision control, plus you then hve the option of making it properly recoiless and the fuses could be set up in parallel meaning a simple flick of a switch changes the connection over to the next fuse. And don't get me started on the EVA transport planes

Oh yeah, my bad, I thought of fuses as circuit breakers for some reason.

D'OH!

Pity they couldn't have used that against those damn Production Models.

Rob: The EVA transport planes rock, they're like the early Northrop flying wing designs (one was used to nuke the Martians in the US film of War of the Worlds).

Personally, see Team Knightrider for a weird cargo plane. A VTOL C-5 Galaxy!

The EVA is 1000ft tall and they have a plane that it lays in the 1/3 length cargo bay! The plane is almost a KM in length and wingspan! You don't see a problem with that And how many did they have at the end of Death and Rebirth? Like everything else in NGE - Looks nice, but completely fucked in the head.

Addendum - there isn't enough money in the world to make me watch Team knightrider.

If the EVAs are 1000ft tall then I'm a llama.

They had nine at the end, the production models were made by the G8 nations I assume (read somewhere) possibly China was also added.

That means there was a British EVA there.

Team Knightrider did have some good babes and Tom Kane who does some Imp officer voices in SW games was in it... as a 4x4.

I cannot believe this thread is still active.


Though it's good in that Megatokyo is getting some extra coverage.

It's actually quite hard to find a definitive answer to the EVA height issue. All the sites I find have had different answers, ranging from 30m (100ft) to 400m (1200ft). I just picked 1000ft because of the fact the EVA's habitually outstrip all building in height, but I actully feel that 100m would be closer to the mark, that still gives you planes that are 300m+ in length and wingspan .

Unfortunately, no British pilot though.

MegaTokyo needs more Coverage?

[Admiral Valdemar]

The Collective of Valdemar anticipated such problems and in doing so, placed a 25MT nuclear device in the UK EVA ready to stop the end of the world. With style!

ROTFL

And here was me thinking it was Asuka's fiery temper that caused all the damage.

IIRC, Based on the width of the entry plug, Kaoru's height vs the Eva 01's hand, and the 02 on the decks of the UN fleet's ships, they are roughly 200 feet tall. I have no idea what sites you have been visiting, or what they base their 'estimates' off of.

My guesses too, some say they vary in size sometimes, but the carrier incident is a pretty good definition.

Really, how bigs that ship again?

Even if it's the same size as a Nimitz, that's 333m (1092ft), and EVA02 wasn't much smaller than it, at most it was 3/4 the length of the carrier that makes it 250m (750ft). Closere to my original than any of other guesses, it also dwarfed the destroyers and Cruisers it used as stepping stones and they start at around 150-200m in length!

I'd have to check the episode on DVD again, but I only recall the 02 taking up a large portion of the destroyers' and smaller ships' decks.

The foot was the size of the main bridge section of an Aegis equipped cruiser, Ticonderoga class I think.

Yeah, in that Episode it looks like EVA02 was around the 200-250m range which is tall enough.

I've tried looking on the Net for a picture of it ship-hopping or just stood on the Carrier, but there doesnt appear to be any. hopefully someone here will know where to find one.

[Admiral Valdemar]

Best image I could do for now.

Uh, guys, this thread is about Megatokyo, not EVA weapons.

[Utsanomiko]

Yes, but someone must've pointed out the particle rifle mention to Rob Wilson and said it was a rabid Eva thread, so now he's kinda gotten us off on a quixotic tangent.

Damn trollish fanwhores! Concession accepted!

Sorry, just had to make the joke. Off to class now.
