Actually Mutronics was just the UK name for the movie. Just about everywhere else it's called Guyver

It was mostly in tribute to the original movie and the lost scene in which the men who fell to the bottom of the canyon got devoured by giant insects. Only a single frame of the scene has ever been recovered but Jackson recreated it for the original Kong DVD box release, using original 1930's film tech, and of course the CG remake. He did a good job of restoring the original so that is also a good DVD to get.

Plan to see it next weekend, will let you know then.

Well there seems to be an R2 release out for the 1st 8 episodes but the price is over $200.

The chinese don't have a license deal, it's bootleg.

Sorry but we do not support the purchasing of bootleg copies of the anime.

It means it's good to go legally, they just have to make the DVD's before they can announce their release.

It's a little early, it usually takes a month or two before we hear anything. After all it will take time to manufacture the DVD's, etc.

1up.com has put together a great summary of everything that is presently known about the PS3 developments. Check it out: PS3 - Everything we know Includes such nice tidbits such as that FF7: Advent Children was such a hit they plan to do a complete remake of the original game for up to date gaphics

Well there is always Jason's code of honor going for it. . . If he ever wanted to have a fair fight between himself and Stephen then that would be his only option. Alternatively it could be Fiona who gives him the unit if she has it and can't contact Jason for some reason and WG2 is the closest otherwise. As for Dreadnought, the thing to remember is the Matrix is far more advance than either unit. So the Matrix's technology essentially takes over when it bonds to the unit. Meaning Dreadnought is really a WG version of the Matrix more than he is a Matrix enhanced WG. So it wouldn't matter which type of warrior unit the Matrix bonded to since it would be the Matrix tech running it. The only differences would be in how the host uses the power given them and how they would appear for the same reason GG1 and GG3 don't look a like. Now the Warrior Gigantic by itself is just a Warrior tech version of the Gigantic, which is in the same technological level as the WG units themselves. So they would retain their specialization if they use the Warrior Gigantic without the Matrix. Essentially meaning each of the remaining none Matrix WG's would each demonstrate a Gigantic version of their present abilities.

Nice comparisons, I like the analogies and Juggernaught would be a good name if a WG2 version of Dreadnought was ever to happen. But, sorry there's a "but" here, you're forgetting that the Matrix provides a big tech advantage and that both units are essentially based off the same technology to begin with. For example the Matrix has given WG WG2 like abilities with the Power Wave and Power boost capabilities. Similarly a Matrix enhanced WG2 would gain better shields. At the very least the Gigantic itself would provide an Omni-Shield just like a normal Gigantic. So the units wouldn't be limited to just the abilities they had before bonding to a Matrix. Basically it evens out. WG2 might still have some slight offensive advantages while WG has some similarly slight defensive advantages but the Matrix would be applying the same enhancements to both so the differences would become negligible. Essentially it would be applying the same technology to two Units resulting in them becoming more similar, not staying different. Any real differences would then be from the host and how they use the power they are given. Since WG2 and WG are both used to fighting a certain way your comparison would work in how they fight but the matrix allows both to emulate the abilities of the other otherwise. However, that said a Warrior Gigantic WG2 combination without the Matrix would retain more of the Unit's specialization. And the Warrior Gigantic would be able to enhance the abilities of the CPM since the Gigantic is capable of adapting to the unit it bonds to just like a normal Gigantic can adapt itself between different host units and alter its appearance and function accordingly. The Warrior Gigantic also gives a limited Power Wave capability which the WG2 unit can take better advantage of than a WG could. Not to mention it is a lot more likely to happen since we have already shown it is possible to share the Warrior Gigantic as has been shown with Valkyrie (WG F-WG).

No, you misunderstand why Solom was working on the Genesis Project. It was only in preparation of an escalation of the competition between the different project heads. He was working on a new way to redesign a unit quickly without having to induce mutations over time, which is why it was called Genesis, but it was far from finished and in the WG2 universe Solom won out early on so there was no need to complete the Genesis Project when the final product was already ready. The technology of that facility was instead used to help develop the Warrior Kavzars, allowing Solom to quickly adapt the warrior tech to the Kavzar biology. So it's application toward a WG unit was never completed. Note also that the Dark Nova upgrade only existed in the Strange World Universe because the projects competed longer in that reality. It doesn't exist in either the WG or WG2 realities. Basically the Genesis Project was only at the stage of developing the equipment needed to process and alter a unit. An actual design was never completed. So Agito had no template to work with when he Created Zeus. He only knew it was possible and created something according to his understanding of the technology. As for WG2 version of Dreadnought, the existing Dreadnought already has abilities similar to the WG2 CPM's so a WG2 version of Dreadnought would essentially have the same abilities.

What makes you think it would be any different?

Well you pretty much answered most of it with the comparison to Dark Nova, which you would note is not a Gigantic Upgrade but rather a perminent unit redesign. Note the similarity between how Black Nova got upgraded into Dark Nova and how a Kavzar gets upgraded into a Kavzar Commander. Project Genesis intended something similar but Agito, with access to Solom's knowledge changed it to produce the Zeus armor instead. After all he may have had Solom's knowledge but he didn't have Solom's intelligence so did the best he could with what he had. In the WG2 universe Project Genesis wasn't completed because Solom won the Warrior Project and instead applied his knowledge into applying the technology into producing the WK's. As for the Matrix, it could do different things to a WG2. Simply enhancing the CPM's is only one possibility.

The XBox 360 has a new Hack for Full HD/Memory Card Read-Write access. Read all about it at, X-Box Scene News And Mac Streaming for the Xbox 360 with, Introducing Connect360 .

The application has a free trial or the full thing can be purchased for $10.

Very true, unfortunately there is only one way to know for sure. Hmm, could be hazardous, you try it first

Wow, that certainly took long enough.

No idea, apparently we must be bookmarked on one of the hacker message boards in Turkey and since we use PHPBB2 we're an easy target. None of the hacks has amounted to anything more than idiotic vandalism.

You don't know the half of it. Today (Monday) they not only hacked the site but created an auto forwarding to a default hacker statement site. So we couldn't even log on to the board since we couldn't get to it. I had to hack the board myself to get it back. Not much we can do to attack them back unfortunately. We're hoping once we move the site to a new server, hopefully by next month, that we can finally block them.

Sorry Largo, and who ever has posted today (Sunday) but the site was attacked again. This time by a whole bunch of hackers taking turn with the site since we saw a different name every couple of minutes before we disabled the site to restore it. This was the most serious attack yet since they tried preventing us from having access to the board at all. Fortunately we were able to get past that and restore the site. It was also the most childish as the hackers came out with little more than we suck and Turkey rules. It was like we were being attacked by a bunch of kindergarden punks, not that I would even give these guys even that much credit. I don't think any of them have even bothered exploring the site other than to vandalize it. Since they apparently don't have a clue who we are or what we stand for. They just make assumptions since this is an english language site. Again, to any and all who may have been affected by this latest attack I apologize for the inconvienance and promise you we are trying everything we can to change the site so this will no longer happen in the future.

Sorry McAvoy, site got hacked again. Or should I say marathon hacked since it was a different hacker every 5 minutes for a half hour. Anyway lost three posts, inclusing yours so please repost. I can say however since I read your post before it was lost that Continuing the spoiler alert. . . The actor McAvoy was referring too before his post got deleted was Derek Jacobi, a very good shakespearian actor, who played Alexander the first immortal, and Michael was descended from a child Alexander had before he became an immortal so that child was only human but it was not said whether that child was either male or female as far as I recall. Only the twin sons he had later were really mentioned. And as the legend goes, one became the first Lycon (Willian) and his brother Marcus became the first Vampire. It was not said whether Victor was the first but he was sired by Marcus so he draws his power from him just like Selene had drawn her power from Victor, which is why she was stonger than many of the other vampires. Not to mention she's at least 600 years old. Though that begs the question on what they had done with Willian for the first 200 years since they captured him in 1202 but Selene's family didn't build his prison for another 2 centuries since it was shown she was a child when it was built and she is only a little over 600 years old. Anyway when Marcus drank the scientist lycon's blood, since he was an original bloodline like Michael, he became a hybrid like Michael. Explaining his ability to transform and the reason everyone made note of it. I would agree (also refering to McAvoy's missing post) that the older a immortal gets the stronger they get, not to mention control over their abilities. Like Victor telling Selene she didn't have the skill to properly pass on her memories through blood, her mind was too disorganized even though she was only a little over 2 centuries younger than Victor. They also lose the ability to eat normal food but the effect of killing off the original is only myth. These vampires and lycons are not supernatural, they are freaks of nature created by a plague causing a radical mutation in its one survivor. So Selene being able to withstand the light is because she is no longer a normal Vampire. Like the title of the movie suggests, she evolved when she Drank Alexander's blood. He said as much when he told her she would become the future.

Same guy hacked the site again on Saturday, proving himself to be even more of an idiot. Even included an animated gif movie clip of some guy getting his throat sliced in a board room in front of two other guys. Here's the link Look at your own risk-pretty graphic Pretty sick stuff and this moron has the nerve to call us terrorists?

Yes, if this had anything to really do with politics or religion then they would have done a lot more than just put down the site had been hacked by them. No this was just mindless vandalism, let's not make it out to be more than it is or give the hackers more credit than they deserve. And remember, it was us that was attacked. I don't mind people venting their frustrations, it's understandable, but let's not start attacking each other, we're better than that. [Edit] Sorry to anyone who may have lost a post, we got hacked yet again on Friday night by. . . Nice of him to explain his actions but just goes to show how clueless these hackers are, over half the board members aren't even from the same country.
