No real interest in Blu-ray right now, and honestly I feel that combined with the ridiculous way it's being released parallel to HD-DVD (VHS / BetaMax anyone?), the over-priced hardware, and the lack of actual support either in releases or in current hardware (how many people REALLY have an HDTV...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEx9r5enZsk&NR You rang? I'm seriously going to have to buy the boxset someday. That series was genuinely classic, even well over a decade on it still holds its own for style and atmosphere, and refusing to patronise the audience. Shame they've only got the...

Watched the first volume and decided I didn't really like it. Weepy girl who's turning back an invading force by herself and she can't make a single decision for herself or think for herself, she always has to be protected by others because of how emotionally 'vulnerable' she was. I just...

Hard to say. Probably Planescape: Torment. Definitely the best story and dialogue of any game I've played to date.

Yup, in their time. Now I don't find them fun. I can still play a game of Tetris for a while if I actually bother to start one up, but that's more to do with the gameplay being compulsive instead of compelling, a very important difference. I'd have much more fun playing an online game of SWAT 4...

Wii or 360 (assuming the money doesn't dissapear before then on an Uber PC instead :mrgreen: ). Currently leaning more towards 360 because of Gears of War and Resident Evil 5 (with the possibility that RE4 might get released on it as well), whereas I've never been too interested in the...

- Supreme Commander (though I don't own a PC that caould possibly run it) - Gears of War (though I don't own an Xbox 360) - Resident Evil 5 (See above, plus I don't acutally own RE4, I played it at a friends house) - Bioshock Supreme Commander is obvious, since I was a big time fan...

- Crest of the Stars: It starts slow but it really is great, hardcore sci-fi Space Opera. Character based and with good dialogue. - Haibane Renmei: Difficult to describe, but thoughtful and interesting show. Not sci-fi, but I suppose you could call it more slice-of-life in some ways. -...

Rumour has it at the moment that he's going to be a tank. Although IIRC nothing's been confirmed officially yet.

A space combat sim set in the Crest of the Stars universe. Feature few if any of the characters from the series, and instead focus on a different cast of characters. Of course, I'd always prefer Freespace 3 if they'd ever make it. :mrgreen:

Didn't like Kill Bill, so probably won't get them. I loved Versus (same director), although really it's a movie you can only really watch once. It's got a plot probably written by a 4 year old with ADD, but the action... All I can say is Zombie Yakuza's with guns ROCK! When I found out...

No Soundwave? Darn. :( Alright keeping with the whole realistic sizing thing they couldn't do a boombox and tape-recorder (that would've looked silly anyway), but I'm going to miss his cool synthetic voice and looks. Oh and JAKEMAN, where do I find out more about those Transformers...

There's the great 'firewall of China', and there are still ways around it. Even if they block off the specific sites, actual torrents are still viable, especially if they make use of the encryption feature which so many download programs now have. This measure was largely introduced to defeat...

Meh, the anime fans will just use bittorrent. I can't imagine there was much good anime on China TV anyway. To me this seems less like outright censoreship and more like the stated aim of getting more Chinese animation on air for the benefit of Chinese animation studios. Then again I don't...

Hmm, some good news then, if only temporary.

Man, when is Kare Kano going to find it's way here? I've been waiting on it for ages.

£32 for Serial Experiments Lain might just give me the nudge to go for it. I'll see once I work through some other titles I'm trying to get at the moment.

I was thinking more something like this maybe: http://www.bradfitzpatrick.com/character_design/cartoon_soldier_01.htm Although lower in rank. Square jawed, square headed type. Meh, doesn't really make oo much difference. I just hope the Pyro gets some teeth in the new incarnation. I liked...

The soldier and the pyro seem to be the least creatively designed classes in terms of their looks. Everyone else looks funky cool, but the other two wouldn't look out of place in most other FPS's. Shame really, since I was always a little partial to the Pyro. :twisted:

^ Ouch. I can see why you're upset. :lol: Well the Region 1 Tin is exactly the same as the one we got, only without the BBFC sticker, and obviously Volume 7 is Region 1 (but I'm guessing you've already got that so it shouldn't make any difference).
