Literally only Ebay has them 'legally'. EA are confused as to the legality of re-releasing their own property apparently. Must have been something really funny in the development agreements... As you say, GoG have proven the model for the release of older titles with far, far less of a...

Char's Counterattack... It's utterly terrible, and for the reasons you already excuse. It just cements my opinion that Tomino wouldn't graduate from film school. Narrative flow is just completely beyond him. It's Advent Children in space. All style, no substance, no sense.

It's probably worth factoring in the mecha design to this mecha show. Designs at the time were becoming particularly intricate and believable, and Zeta rode this wave and filled out fifty episodes with consistently memorable and intelligent ideas. It feels marginally less like a toy commercial...

Any of those machines will eat those two games alive (TF2 ran fine on my 2003 PC), but the stuff around the corner? You pretty much always have to spend in the £1000 range for that, and then some new fangled Direct X feature gets added and you're immediately out of the game. I take it that...

Watched it on the Anime Legends sets and rather enjoyed it. At first I wasn't into it in any strong way, but I realised I was missing it as soon as I polished off the first 25 episodes. Having finished the series, I fully intend to go back and watch it all through again.

Marijuana and Tobacco? It's hardly like the kid is going to get a lolly pop and dib-dab that stuff. Mistakable for pesto at best. edit: Ready-made pun about memory loss and cannabis in 3, 2, 1...

It's only very lightly an RPG though (other RPG-lites you'll probably want to try: System Shock 2, Bioshock and Mass Effect)... But everyone should be buying this up for the £3 you can get it for on Steam at the moment (with the shoebox sequel).

Just hope this doesn't rule out any later compilation release. Because honestly, only the hardcore are that interested in getting 1/6th of a release every half a year. I understand how OVAs snowball financially and all, but really, there's probably too much of a cultural difference in home video...

Back to Phantom Brave after a 3 year hiatus. Took about 3 hours of bumbling incompetence to remember most of what was going on, or at least remember that I couldn't work out most of the battle systems anyway.

Well yeah. The three early 80s anime series spliced together into Robotech in the first place have been, though only on Region 1. Everything else Macross released in Japan, with the exception of Manga's releases of Macross Plus and non-canon Macross II have been blocked. That's mainly just...

It shrank?

You wait ages for a Zeta Gundam, and three come along at once. Err... I mean: I'm going to be selfish and hope this is the movies, since I got tired long, long ago of waiting for a local series release and just got the Region 1s... May change my tune if they release the series without the...

"The issue at hand" huh? We're not the select committee on the state of the anime industry. And how the hell did a two month old become as jaded as everyone else about actually discussing things?

And no mention of Astro Plan. But it's not like it's worth taking some moral high ground here. If pirated products from China are bothering you solely because the market is being flooded with unofficial goods, well, boo-hoo. No one's life here (or in Japan) is untainted by the exploitation of...

There are games out there that do pretty accurate lip-synching in real time, to whatever sound-file is run through them. I just can't think of any Japanese titles that do this... so perhaps we should be asking whether the blame lies with the original developers, rather than the localisation teams?

I'm saying it was FABULOUS, darling.

I think the time for legacy Gundam DVD releases has long since passed. We're not getting any more, and Beez sure as hell won't be the local division to churn them out anyway. There's an outside chance for streaming releases., but there simply aren't enough Gundam fans out there to make it...

But it is basically High School Musical meets the original series, right? Or was I watching a particularly flamboyant fansub?

It'll all go digital. That's where legacy PC gaming, if not PC gaming as a whole is going, and where the PC leads, the consoles usually follow. However, Despite the problems old PC games do often have on newer operating systems, the reason that PC games have a longer shelf-life is because...

It could have been easier to recommend stuff if you told us a bit about what you actually do like. Especially as 'I dislike Gundam' and 'I dislike Mecha' will basically sound like the same thing to most :P I'm actually a bit behind having said that. Only just watching Eureka 7, only went...
