    Speaking of perfect fighters.....

    Why does everyone keep quoting a figure of 600 years? Are people _still_ thinking I'm talking about WC or a game of some sort? And no, I did not forget the word Theory. You argument is basically the one religious zealots use to try to belittle scientific knowledge. You (any they) are in fact...

    WTLF is a Retro?

    But if they didn't destroy it, it would lose the World War 2 parallels (or at least they'd be diminished), so _clearly_ they had to destroy it. :)

    WTLF is a Retro?

    I'm wondering what the 'L' is in WTLF. Or am I wrong in thinking that the 'W' 'T' and 'F' are the same as the much more common 'WTF'?

    New fighter concepts

    I'm surprised to see someone referencing "the movie". Did anybody here actualy _like_ that? I would have thought for sure that every WC fan would what to deck Roberts after that (like me). The needs of such a space born fleet would naturally be much different, but, pseudo-fighters carrying...

    Speaking of perfect fighters.....

    <SIGH> Ok, forget it then. I said I was _not_ talking about a game, or a show, or a movie, or any kind of fiction, and twice people respond as though I was. Whatever. As for the rest, we understand physics well enough to know how objects move in space, how anti-matter needs to be contained...

    Speaking of perfect fighters.....

    I wasn't trying to imply that a game should be made with total realism. I was just discussing the possible future of real combat in space. As for the enemy's sensors, yes, you are correct that you can pick them up with your own passive sensors and locate them, however, that would be precicely...

    Speaking of perfect fighters.....

    I don't know if this theme came up before or not as I'm still relatively new here. So I thought I'd throw it out and see what the rest of you think. I tend to be a reaslism freak in general. Somehow, despite that, WC is my all time favorite game series, and is certainly among my favorite...

    Where can I find Wing Commander 1?

    Groucho's 4th _really_ long lost brother? ;) ('4' is not a typo, bonus points to anyone who knows why. lol)

    Ah. My bad. I guess I mis-read your post re: the human disguise part. But, the one dud that took over the dead Boomers body, and every time they blew off thier skin and changed size and shape - I'd call that mutating. But that could be a matter of semantics I suppose. As for ADPF, that...

    Um...I'm not sure which BGC OVAs you saw, but the 8 that I saw did have a running storyline that dealt with ongoing character development. Also, as I understand it, there were in fact 13 episodes planned, but funding ran short, and that's why we got stiffed of any story arch resolution. (also...

    It's just unfortunate that Harlock is also a clone. ;) At least he's a good Wildstar/Kodai clone though, unlike Rick Hunter. :)

    Col Dom - How's the orig compare to 'New'? I like NDTP a lot, but never saw much of the orig. The 'ultimate deterrent' kind of put me off. lol Thymerlord - Ah yes, Galaxy Express. Definitely good. Have you seen/do you like My Youth in Arcadia, or Odin : Photon Space Sailor Starlight? Leiji...

    Penguin - OVA or OAV stand for Original Video Animation (or Original Animated Video), IOW a direct to video release. As to the good BGC vs. the new one, well, that all depends. I have not watched enough of the new one to give you a breakdown, however, the characters and timeline have been...

    No offense was intended man. I liked it enough to list it as one of the top notch movies to see. :) As for Armitage, I had the 4 OVAs long before I even heard of the movie, they are good. There is no story or even footage that was removed in order to make the movie (that I can recall, it's...

    The Perfect Fighter?

    I think he was joking. :) I also think that the Tanto was a knife, the short sword of the Daisho was called a Wakizashi or something IIRC. I could be wrong though.

    Penguin - Wings is a slow story. A drama, some might even call it a "chick flick", but it was still good. Phenomenal animation and graphic quality as well. Riding Bean may be a little difficult to find at this point, and is not on DVD. Given Animeigo's new head-up-their-ass policies, it's not...

    Aw c'mon man, the Duke boys are still cool....and Catherin Bach.....:::wiping up drool::: I saw her in an interview about the reunion show. A little heavier, but still quite nice. :) Plus the Balladeer was cool. Shame he just died. Personally, I like the opening of that show, but then, I _am_...

    Ninja Scroll was indeed good. If you're talking one off movies, ever see Riding Bean? That is one of my favorite Anime movies. Or how about the Amitage III movie, or Wings of Honneamaise (Royal Air Force)? And let's not forget Ghost in the Shell. IMHO, all the above are _way_ better than Ninja...

    OAV of course! 2040 is _evil_! :) Did Sonada even have _any_ involvement in 2040? Ghost - Magaziner Z? Never heard of it. I used to like Transformers, but not anymore. It just didn't hold up. Same with Speed Racer and Voltron.
