I'd be more impressed if I thought it would get a u.s. release.

Does anyone know a good place to get import games?

Play Asia is one of the more well known importers since Lik-Sang has gone out of business.

Also, PSP games are not region locked.

They aren't?

That surprises me.

Wasn't it sony who pretty much started the main-stream region-encoding?

The only thing that's region-locked is movie UMDs, which is a decision up to the individual publisher. I think Sony saw the direction Nintendo was heading with region-free DS games and decided to see if it worked for them, but there's no "official" reason given for the decision that I'm aware of.

Episode 11 was about boys kissing and Alto's father being a dick again. Also more of the monorail squirrel being a cutie-pie. The next episode features some guy who looks like Kamjin (THE ALLY KILLER).

Scary!

So wait, was the entire Zentradi Army incorporated into the NUN? Or is this 33rd Marine part of the faction that defected but couldn't adapt?

VF5SS · Post by **VF5SS** » 2008-06-20 12:46pm

I think it's a fleet that just couldn't adapt. The dialog between Klan and Cathy seemed to indicate that their a rowdy bunch who will use any excuse to riot.

Well, this episode was fanservicey, and big decisiony, but it looks like next episode is back to awesome action.

So... Do you have thoughts on what it is, and why it's attracted to Ranka?

If you say baby Varja, i'm gonna be pissed

It's probably related to these critters from Dynamite 7. See

Ranka's Pokémon will evolve into a Vajra when it gains enough levels. Then Ranka and her good Vajra will battle the evil Vajra.

Oh yes they will.

VF5SS · Post by **VF5SS** » 2008-06-21 09:17pm

I hate you so damn much right now. Sometimes a monorail squirrel is just a monorail squirrel. Where does this baby Varja shit come from anyway? No one thought Gubaba was a bleedin' Protodevilin.

Honestly, when I first saw it, I thought it was following her because it wanted to get nasty with her mobile phone.

I loved Gundam Battle Chronicle. Despite the complexities of the UC universe - transforming, huge mecha and a long time period with lots of mobile suits - it worked and was fun.

So they're a fleet of exclusively Nupetiet-Vergnitzs battleships? No other classes??

tim31 · Post by **tim31** » 2008-06-22 01:22am

Looks that way based on this episode, but the next one might reveal more, based on what we saw in the preview. A whole fleet of command ships?? !!

If the vast majority of the Zentraedi who ally with humanity end up on human-built ships as a sign of unity, there's a whole bunch of mothballed Zentraedi fleets out there. The Nupetiets might have been the only ships of out of those fleets worth keeping active. Either that or the 33rd asked for just Nupetiets exclusively because they have compensation issues

VF5SS · Post by **VF5SS** » 2008-06-22 10:03am

Do you honestly care what kind of ships they have? To a Zentradi the only difference is this one has guns, this one has missiles, this one has MORE guns, and this one has more guns than crew.

VF5SS wrote:Do you honestly care what kind of ships they have?

Of course. I also want to know if they're intended to be the original Nupetiet-Vergnitzs or the Neo version. Because I just wuv happy-happy Macross!

VF5SS wrote:To a Zentradi the only difference is this one has guns, this one has missiles, this one has MORE guns, and this one has more guns than crew.

And the vast majority of their fleet used to be Thurval-Salan battleships. What changed?

Depends what the automated factories have been churning out, I suppose. Zentradi weren't big on designing stuff, and these are the most traditional fundamentalist Zentradi.

Ford Prefect · Post by **Ford Prefect** » 2008-06-22 06:25pm

I'll be honest here. If I was a Zentraedi, and I'm nto saying that I am, if I had a choice, I'd be cruising in a Nupetiet-Vergnitzs.

Seriously, the UN must be giddy when it comes to that sort of thing. The number of Zentraedi and Zentraedi ships available would be awesome for a fledgling space government. I mean, the Macross was enormous. Everyone was tripping out about it. Then along comes Breetai and even his medium scale ships of the line are bigger.

VF5SS · Post by **VF5SS** » 2008-06-22 08:10pm

You know Zentradi can have a lot of ships per fleet. If Britai's main fleet can have 1213 capital ships out of a main fleet of 4 million, I doubt the handful of ships you saw in that one shot we're indicative of the total fleet.
