  1. This just occurred to me but I think the MP4 format is made for portable devices. Since there are a lot of generic portable MP4 players in our region, I'd like to guess that this is one factor. Getting back to the story, I'm very pleased at the start at how they made the 00 somewhat less formidable due to compatibility issues. But I was disappointed when they did the predictable. Put Setsuna in the cockpit and the MS fixes itself. And since Setsuna did managed to hand the A-laws butt in a platter using only his outdated Exia, I guess I expected more when he used the 00. You know, dispatching them with ease or little effort (which he did, but I imagine him doing it a little more badass). Don't you think that using the Trans-Am system is just a little bit like cheating? I guess the GN particles is something similar to the Minovsky particles. Because I just saw how they easily diffused the beam weapons.
  2. Well, I do believe they are doing this because of the HD releases. Some people do burn what they download into HD media and watch it in their HD entertainment set. However, not everyone can afford the HD and some, if not most people watch what they dl on the PC. I also happen to be one of those people who watch on the PC. This is because I have better sound system in my PC than in our conventional entertainment set. Also as not to get off topic, I have not yet seen the second episode, but I do hope that the upgrade wasn't that substantial. Just at par with the current technology. I would prefer that they be uber badass because of their piloting skills and not because of their new toys.
  3. The Unjust Salary Theorem asserts that scientists can never earn as much as sales people. This theorem is proved as follows. Start by using the physics formula Power = Work / Time Now you probably have heard that Knowledge is Power and Time is Money. Substitute these tautologies into the formula for power to obtain Knowledge = Work/Money Solving for Money, one finds Money = Work / Knowledge. Therefore, the less you know, the more you make.
  4. Is Windows A Virus? No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do: They replicate quickly. (Okay, Windows does that) Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so. (Okay, Windows does that) Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk. (Okay, Windows does that, too) Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems. (Sigh... Windows does that, too) Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow and the user will buy new hardware. (Yup, that's with Windows, too) Until now it seems, Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature. So, Windows is not a virus!
  5. There once was a man who went to a computer trade show. Each day as he entered, the man told the guard at the door: "I am a great thief, renowned for my feats of shoplifting. Be forewarned, for this trade show shall not escape me unplundered." This speech disturbed the guard greatly, because there were millions of dollars of computer equipment inside, so he watched the man carefully. But the man merely wandered from booth to booth, humming quietly to himself. When the man left, the guard took him aside and searched his clothes, but nothing was to be found. On the next day of the trade show, the man returned and chided the guard, saying, "I escaped with a vast booty yesterday, but today will be even better." So the guard watched him ever more closely, but to no avail. On the final day of the trade show, the guard could restrain his curiosity no longer. "Sir Thief," he said, "I am so perplexed, I cannot live in peace. Please enlighten me. What is it that you are stealing?" The man smiled. "I am stealing ideas," he said.
  6. Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it cost? Dentist: It's $90.00. Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work??? Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.
  7. Studying expands knowledge, Knowledge is power, Power corrupts, Corruption is a crime, Crime doesn't pay. Why study?
  8. Some Engineer jokes When considering the behaviour of a howitzer: A mathematician will be able to calculate where the shell will land. A physicist will be able to explain how the shell gets there. An engineer will stand there and try to catch it. In some foreign country a priest, a lawyer and an engineer are about to be guillotined. The priest puts his head on the block, they pull the rope and nothing happens - he declares that he's been saved by divine intervention - so he's let go. The lawyer is put on the block, and again the rope doesn't release the blade, he claims he can't be executed twice for the same crime and he is set free too. They grab the engineer and shove his head into the guillotine, he looks up at the release mechanism and says, "Wait a minute, I see your problem..."
  9. There was also the matter of Bio energy being used as a source of energy. Well, to save us from the enormous headache from figuring out all the scientific details, lets just call it magic. So anybody seen the Guyver Magic before?
  10. Why is it that all the releases I see are either MKV or MP4. Don't they have any love for old fashioned AVI anymore? Oh wait, shinsen released an AVI version. Let me retract that.
  11. I was under the impression that guyvers draw their energy by siphoning from the boost dimension. Perhaps the time/space continuom in the boost dimension is totally different from ours.
  12. There is this group scanlating the chapters. I think they are down to 2 chapters, as they released chapter 173 just a few days ago. I think the group is called ryColaa.
  13. Well, in Gundam F91, lances were the standard weapon of choice of the Crossbone Vanguard, particularly the Vigna series.
  14. Let's see. Original Gundam was Char Aznable, the red comet. Z Gundam has Quattro Bagina, actually a poorly disguised Char Aznable, and instead of wearing a mask and the eyes exposed, this is the other way around. He wears sunglasses. Gundam F91 = Garozzo Rona V Gundam = Chronicle Asher G Gundam = Schwarz Brueder Gundam W = Zechs Marquise Turn A(way) Gundam = Harry Ord Gundam Seed = Rau La Cruise Gundam Seed Destiny = Neo Loanorke
  15. Uh..... colored bathrobe?
  16. Was there ever a movie made that pitted Godzilla versus Ultraman? Also, you guys seems to be missing Mothra.
  17. I take it that Grahams not going to be called Graham in this season, but instead will be using an alias, and would be the mysterious ACE pilot of his faction.
  18. Justice friends? Is that the combination of Justice League and Super Friends?
  19. If I'm not mistaken, anime clubs usually show fansubbed videos that are still unlicensed. For me, I always watch it subbed, sometimes raw. I just can't stand the dubbing voices.
  20. That mask guy certainly looks a lot like Graham.
  21. Wow, you must have a lot of bandwidth to DL that much. For me, after Code Geass R2 and Macross Frontier, I am staying tuned to the second season of Gundam 00. I'm getting more picky on watching shows nowadays due to time constraints.
  22. Well, if it is A-laws, could it mean ABOVE-laws?
  23. Wait, are we pitting Movie Guyver versus Manga Guyver, or we are pitting Shou Fukamachi vs Sean Barker. Because if you put aside the difference in g-units, I think that Sean might be able to up one over Shou. That is if they have the same unit. Also, are we talking about pre x-day Shou or post gigantic Shou? The difference in resolve will also impact the results.
  24. Some Anna Kaneshiro:
  25. I don't mind about the quality issues. As long as they stick as close as possible to the translations. It's a little bit difficult to watch something where what you read and hear are totally different. So far, I have no qualms with speedsubs, I just don't like to get inconsistent with my archives, since its really a pain to rename and sort them.
