I have not posted on GB at all realy since JoJo Part 4....we have JoJo part 5 coming. https://animeuknews.net/2018/06/jojos-bizarre-adventure-part-5-golden-wind-vento-aureo-anime-adaptation-officially-announced/

Also I have been playing Battletech alot recently PS NEW GUNDAM BREAKER TODAY ON PS4!! later On steam....!!!

So Battletech has borrowed legally designs from anime and such for their mech designs through licenses and Harmony Gold the ultra dicks of Macross Copyrights fucks with them alot, yet I was playing and researching (as well as listening to Blood of Karensky Battletech novels) the mechs. I know such mechs as the Phoenix Hawk is based on Macross VF1 fighters and such like on the right.

Yet I was staring at this art of the Battlemaster.

Something clicked in my head. I knew this design and then I took an utter random guess... the anime Rise of the Fang Dougram?

Turns out I was right, and what did shake me was this....in Battltech the Pc game of recent release it uses the Shadow hawk alot and I did not realise it was THE DOUGRAM!

I haven't been around or watching GB for two years now, yet I was just few days ago reminiscing about Ryan. So to see this thread seems a bit timely. Dosnt help I always have my own video made in tribute of Ryan I rewatch from time to time...its the second last image of the entire gang together on the Green screen thats get me. https://youtu.be/u3wwDLQlFR8

Sort of Samurai Dark souls before Nioh, except with RPG mechanics. The sword fighting is amazing, each swords have very diffrent sword attacks, then there is their own stats which you can alter or accidentally degrade. The fights can be great an intense (Learn parry it will allow you to one hit kill with some nice Samurai slash moments) the characters are fun, the stories are fun. Customisation is fun.

Its a rogue like real, an RPG, Darksouls, Rouge like game. I have loved all the WOTS games since the first one. There was like 36 endings to the first one 56 to the second and about 56 to the third. I have still not seen them all. Infact to get the endings I just stumbled into the story line which unlocks them. I always found it fun. It will take a few "completed" stories before you actualy get into the meat of the game and realise what is the hard stuff and the easier stories.

I would suggest you look into Louise Theroux a Journalist (I know its one documentary and this post is 20 days old) that likes to get close to people and find out first hand from people things. He had a long serise of diffrent documentary subjects years ago, from the people who believe in Aliens and visiting Roswell and Area 51...so much so he starts walking up to the no trespassing signs and sees the local security start moving.

There is the one about Pornography, the one about the Westboro Baptist Church (the ones protesting outside American soldiers funerals and saying their gay and god dosnt want them) were he actualy stayed with the family and talked to all of them who would, the head grand father to the smallest children and you could see and understand why the Westboro Baptist church is as it is. This clip sums up how he interacts and records things.

FYI extreme offensive slurs.

There was also the one about Neo Nazi's which that was a weird one, real proper American Neo Nazi's and the many contradictions from their believes and the lives they lead.

He made the documentary film "My Scientology Movie" which had him talk to past members, interact with current members and....encounter the very strange practices of past and present first hand.....he actualy gets tailed by the Scientologists.....

New serise of Documentaries with one even talking to alcoholics who have hut the absolute breaking point of their addiction and not getting better.

@hamst3r: I fully agree on Dragon half, I looked into the background of the anime and found it ran out of budget and we are lucky to have gotten the two eps as we did. Also I went and read the manga HOOOLY FUCK the anime is like it lept off the pages, humor is the spot on and I laughed just as hard at many many part of the Manga, it gets pretty grand in the adventure. Cliche yes but they are spoofing it.

This one always got me this one part, A magical sergeant sworn to protect this magical herb for his empress comes across Lufa.....

Ha, I am 28 and when I was 18 I was visibly receding, went around mostly with a "Widows" peak, I had long hair and then I had a fire Engine Red Mohawk (yes this was 2007), I shaved it off for a job interveiw and boom.......my front was NEVER as thick. I have receded to almost the Patrick Stewart level as I have hair still in the middle of my scalp however its extremely thinned over the last year. Since I was 18 I have often shaved even taking razors down to the skin. Recently I let it grow out for winter and yes, I was full blown crowned, its not a bad look...its not a good look. Yet I did it, its now summer and the baldness is in.

If anything people comment/compliment a bald head more often tbh. I have had long hair, I have had middle hair its there...yet people compliment going "hey the bald look is good for you...looks clean." as well as "oh whoah thats a major difference."

Granted I was the crazy bastard ever since I was a kid to be the one with long hair for three years then shave it all off and let it grow, repeat till 18.

There was a time in high school around 13 I had shoulder length long hair, people started to realy comment "why the long hair? Get a haircut." on this day I got 6 people I said to each "ok." next day all OFF RIGHT DOWN TO THE SKIN. (Which only made people now go, "Whoa....can I touch your head?") and had people shout "JESUS DIDN'T MEAN ALL OF IT!!!"

For a while people will touch your head....people will look at it in marvel....and people will ask to touch it, I also advise hats.....EVEN IN THE WINTER. Why? COS THAT SUN DOESN'T CARE WHAT THE TEMPERATURE IS! Sunburn is sunlight UV rays to the skin, I have had sun burn even in winter.

I wear hats not as a cover up of my "shame" (granted its just feels better than rain or wind on my bald scalp) its mainly against the sun....and the odd cold drip of water that will make you shiver.

Also hats are cool! Wear a hat!

Right ok so....lets start with me and Tremors.

I think my dad rented it on VHS and was watching it and much like other films I walked by and saw some stuff as a 5 year old. Like Critters and Peter Jackson's "Meet the Feebles" I stuck around long enough to be repulsed (Farmer Neds tortured face under his hat reveal.) left to go play outside.

Years later like when I was 10 or somthing, I came across it late night on ITV and decided to watch it as I saw a few minutes at the start and Val and Earl made me laugh, so watched on I am not at all a horror person, yet I loved the Dark comedy of Tremors.

Tremors one is excellent and done amazingly well.

Tremors 2 is sort of like Alien 3 for me....I have watched it the most and know its not the best yet I do love it dearly. Except I would have more people back me up on Tremors 2 and not for Alien 3. So I know its not great yet I do love it soooooo much. Tremors 1 is great and does it great, Tremors 2 is not great yet it has great moments.

Tremors 3...... I cannot trash yet I cannot back up it being decent. It is weak it is stupid and yet it does have decent stuff yet...kinda...sucks. If someone never saw Tremors and came to Tremors 3 late one night it would be like Sharknado or Piranha 3D uber campy stupid low budgeted.

Tremors 4 is just Tremors 1.....except while it does the whole Zombie like movie thing "oh no I have no clue what this thing is everyone watching has known for 10 years......." yet it is decent and good.

Tremors 5 I will defend far more than Tremors 3, it is bad yet is bad good. Jamie Kennedy I too when I saw his credit and then saw him appear in the film I too face palmed and went "oh fuck....they ruined Tremors." as Son of the mask reels into my minds eye. Yet no, he was ok...he was oooookay. Better than the doctor woman who was all super awesome all the time (Takes on super Graboids with a bow..... and wins?) there is large parts of the movie that is super eye rolling and tries to kill you with it...yet....it feels better and done better than "assblasters" and the resulting film around it.

Tremors the TV serise I enjoyed and I should rewatch it, yet I would rewatch Twin Peaks cult tv serise from start to finish before Tremors TV serise. Yet it is dumb fun much like Toxic Avengers the Cartoon is, were the creators is sitting going "uuuuugh? ARE WE SERIOUSLY GETTING A TV SHOW? ummmmm fuck it, do what ever we are not gonna last long just make stuff we want to do!"

However it realy is a sorta cheaper yet better done Tremors 3. It is a monster a week tv serise because "Mutant ooze got into the ground mutating all the wild life to be whacky killers, unlike Graboids which is their home ground." Yet do you wanna know who the person is who is this mad scientist who was part making the Teenage mutant turtle like Mutagen? CHRISTOPHER "DOC BROWN" LLOYD!!! also half the characters are actualy decent. You ca

Sadly there is not videos of him in it, yet he was their "expert" sage old man who would go "ahhh yes....this looks like Mutagen 2243 which turns Cascades into flesh eating plagues of terror!" which happened and was cool.

Also...it seems Tremors tv serise is getting rebooted with Kevin Bacon.... maybe it it works out. This is a year old news, yet I didnt beleive Tremors 4 was happening and I didnt believe tremors 5 was happening...yet they happened!

Man just because we get a good Zelda game in this year, people are flipping lids going "BEST YEARS FOR VIDJYA GAMES!" much like folks have already said. We have had a good run on games since the last few years have been dogey to say the least, yet 2007 and 2008 were better years even if the next big titles are hits....unlike Andromeda.

With 1998 and 1999 just being mind blowing stellar years so much so I did not even play all those games in the years of their release and over a course 16 years of playing catch up...holy fuck most of those games still are great fun to play. So even with the future sight on if Horizon Zero Dawn, Neir Automata, Nioh, Zelda, Mass Effect A (lol nah) and Persona 5 with the rest of the games expected to be good this year to still be held in high regard like they are now. It still does not compete with the absolute legacy's and continued enjoyment of 1998 or 1999 releases.

@lisker: Of Course Joe Hisaishi scores are always wonderful.

For years I have heard about Robot Carnival and never knew much about it aside from the grandiose intro, yet now you say like Neo Tokyo and collection of stories it now makes sense. Granted this is the best way to enjoy Marathon Man segment of Neo Tokyo.

Well its coming into summer and surley at some point I shall be watching my summer faves, Redline, FLCL and Macross Plus, they all just scream summer to me.

@belegorm: I just cant get into the new Arslan, its got so much modern anime vines in it that I am not keen with it, I am an old weirdo who has a hard time with modern anime, the art style does not help me at all when I am so used to the older Arslan and just how great it is, at least to me. It all makes me feel like I am watching Avatar the Last air bender and it just makes it feel so much less.....serious. Maybe I should watch it in its entirety as it was the first few episodes that just made me flinch. Then there was the Cinematography of the old one uh so wonderful.

So......I sit here.....with my Mad Catz mouse mat....for my Mad catz Rat Pro S mouse (was a Rat 5 yet i worn that out over four years) .....typing on my Mad Catz Keyboard (Cyborg Keyboard V7 I love it and looks like its from star wars).....with my Mad Catz head phones (Freq 7 upgraded from Freq 5 and inherited a FUCKING ANNOYING BUZZ WHEN I PLUG THE MIC.) aaaaaaaand..........wee bit sad about this. I have been a Mad Catz whore for PC stuff for a few years now.....and loved the stuff (ASIDE FROM THE FUCKING HEADSET BUZZ!!!) sooooooooooooooooooooo well then. Time to find someone else to be a whore too.
