Well being a massive dinosuar fan back in the day I always liked the dinobots, particularly Grimlock.

 

[Lady Reiha]

Me either.

So, I saw Pirates 3 last night...
Kinda felt like watching Star Wars Ep 3 all over again.

Too much plot to cover in a short time, so they just kind of hurry it.

Like the Kraken... WTF?
Why?

Plus, it lacked the wit of the first movie.

Thank god I'm not the only one who felt that way. Don't get me wrong- I liked it, but not as much as the first two.

 

[Lady Reiha]

Yep.

How in the hell did I miss a Transformers conversation? You guys must not have these when I'm sleeping or you shall suffer the wrath of me. Spins isn't the only one who can wrath you know.

Ok, my favorite characters were some of the more obscure ones. No they almost never had a staring role, but I liked their personalities as stated in the tech specs and profile books. Anyways...

I loved Sideswipe because he was a scrapper, and loved to fight. He wasn't afraid to cheat either, and in fact was somewhat of a crook before he joined the Autobots. I like him better than his brother Sunstreaker. Plus he transforms into a red Lamboughini. SWEET!

I really liked Thundercracker too. This was a Decepticon that was never quite convinced of the Decepticon cause, especially when innocent beings got hurt. His contempt for non-flying creatures, and his desperate need for meaning in his life, plus fear of Megatron keeps him with the Decepticons.

Bluestreak is an interesting character. When the war first started he was a simple robot, enjoying the simple life. Then Megatron appeared and completely destroyed his home city, sparing only Bluestreak. It was a ploy by Megatron to spread fear among the Autobots, and it worked. As a result of this trauma, Bluestreak almost never shuts up. He can be annoying, but there's no more dedicated Autobot.

Then of course there's Soundwave, who's a freaking army in and of himself.

As for Beast Wars, I never really got into it. I did watch it however, but the only episodes I really enjoyed were the ones featuring G1 tie-ins, like when Starscream's ghost possesed Waspinator, Or when Ravage showed up and they found The Ark.

Omg Tromby, is that you as a kid? OMG you were so cute! Well your still cute now, but you were baby cute then!!!!!!



But I totally forgot about Bluestreak >.<

He he he I thought it was way better than any of the vehicle based shows. But that could be the fact that I live in a house full of Zoidsheads. Or that I'm much more of an animal person than a vehicle person. Honestly I think I could handle having an animal look at me and talk much better than if my van suddenly told me I was a bad owner an needed to change it's oil.

I have always been a car-girl. I know alot about older models, basically between the years of 1957-1999. I don't care much for newer models- they don't catch my eye, but I do know the basic "everyone would die for" cars. I also know how to fix, take apart and put apart an engine from scratch. I love animals as well, but if I had to chose, I'd do the beasties thing lol. Vehicles and animals- hurrah!

 

[vboy23]

i like the cold, collected, calculating Soundwave and theres Six-shot whos kinda like a rogue decepticon/autobot in the japanese series (takara transformers if i remember it correctly)

 

[Lady Reiha]

I just downloaded all of it, but beyiond the first episode and the one where starscream showed up. No.

If it's Synidicated TV in the last ten years. That was Not Firefly or a wrestlemania. I have not seen it. I don't watch TV. I do however watch programs on DVD. And have seen American Dad Family guy and most of simpsons. Also the Teen Titans and Justice Leauge shows. Which were entertaining if horribly out of canon.

With me, I have illegal satillite, so i get shows, so sometimes I watch, and sometimes I don't. I've really been itching to watch Season 3 of House, but I already have the first 2 seasons on boxsets, so I might as well wait.


I have seen Family Guy, American Dad, Futurama, Teen Titans, some Justice League, Puffy Ami Yumi, Simpsons, Kenny Vs Spenny, Witch Hunter Robin, Cardcaptors etc.

But I rather buy them by the boxset, and enjoy them commercial free. All the better now, considering me and Chronie will be joining forces and will be building a bigger, better video game and dvd library!

 

[vboy23]

dont you just love bittorrent for new anime

I'm the same way. Plus my hard drives just don't have enough room for too much. I had the complete Gundam Wing Series on my computer at one point, and all four Night Warriors (Darkstalkers) episodes.

Coincidently, I found out about this site while I was cruising through one of the other boards I frequent, and it's AMAZING! So much good stuff! I actually watched an episode of MASK today!

Yes we will. And all shall bow before the juggernaut of legal and illegal nerddom we posses.

>: D Mwuhahahaha



gtg- party time. Sally's last day in Guelph and I'm a little drunk off Absinth from Amsterdam (92% proof)

 

[VandalHeart]

Help. Help me please.

Anybody know a good way to get a slightly dusty, 4 year old Playstation 2 to start working again?

At the moment, the only disc that it will read is Armored Core 2. Nothing else is working. Not Guitar Hero 2, not Manhunt, not Final Fantasy 12, nothing.

Help. Please.

 

[snake0067]

Eh, the dinobots were still the coolest.

You might try flipping it from the horizontal to the vertical position (or vice versa). If that doesn't work you are probably screwed.

Luckily you can find used PS2 for cheap...hell you can buy a brand new one for 129 bucks.

That's the way.

 

[VandalHeart]

Well, shit.

 

[SexyCleric]

Well, shit.

*Nods*
Indeed.

 

[CuVallen]

I think you mean Roller, not Wheelie.

Roller

Wheelie
http://www.tftm.net/images/toys/toy_wheelie.jpg

you are correct.. I had both and got the names crossed. Wheelie was the squeaky voiced one from cyberton who rhymed.

 

[vboy23]

i always found Wheelie's voice annoying, same with the other Cybertron autobot (Jazz or Radd, i forgot, hes the blue guy who speaks too fast)

 

[VandalHeart]

Kinda like the squirrel with glasses on Ill Will Press?

Look online there are instructions on how to repair them.. a friend of mine found two broken ones after college and repaired them both.. he said it's a bitch but worth it for a free PS2

Do you have a link for that, or any other hints for doing a search? I'm having a bit of trouble.

One of the first things you should try is to crack the shell open and clean off the reading lens. 80% of PS2 problems can be resolved with a qtip and some time, or so my techie buddy tells me.
