I'm not much of a reader, especially in school it was a bore when I had to do it. Luckily I found one writer who, up until this point, is the only one that keeps me interested all through the book. I'm talking of course about Jack Vance . I would still be collecting his books if the damn dutch publi...

This is looking good to me. I always wanted to read something about the drop operations. And especially that you pit the Zeon against Russo-Federation hordes. (This nutcracker you talk about, is that a inside joke to Tchaikovksy's Ballet?) The set-up made me think of an Eastern Front anno '79. Just ...

Three Zeon pilots

I'm currently rewatching 0083 and I'm a bit confused by what happens. I'll try to be as thorough as possible. In episode 1 you have the group that's about to attack Torrington, two Dom Tropens and one Xamel. Both Gundamofficial and MAHQ say that Bob pilots the Xamel, Gaily and Adamsky pilot the Dom ...

I'm a bit late to respond (damn those timezones). ...huh? The reason why Zeon invaded Earth was because they didn't have enough material to continue with full scale war production, so the had to land troops to mine the resources they needed and ship them back to the Zeon homeland. As far as I know t...

From the common Earthnoid's perspective, though, it probably looked like a war for independence. I would say it looked to an Earthnoid and pro-Federation spacenoid more like a war of conquest rather than independence. In any case they will later refer to it as the One Year War anyway. To the Side 3...

Here in Belgium we only got Gundam Wing a few years back. And three or four re-runs of Wing. And it seems that mecha anime isn't really that popular either. Especially when you know that this was the first robot cartoon after they showed the Transformers in the eighties/early nineties.

I need to listen to more metal!!! A wise choice. Gentlemen, you clearly forgot Fighting the World and Violence and Bloodshed . Maybe even Defender when a character gets angsty or goes on a rant. How's about Anthrax's Caught in a mosh , Madhouse or even Metal Thrashing Mad ? Kreator's Violent Revolu...

It's an AA vehicle alright. The radome in the centre gives it away, that's the targeting system. It looks a Crotale but with square missile boxes like the Patriot . And like the patriot it can use its missiles against more than just aircrafts. Well it's not really difficult to hit a giant of a MS bu...

Pretty much all what Fritz said earlier. I only got to add Death Metal to it. Morbid Angel, Slayer, Destroyer 666... But German Thrash rules all metal with it's own Thrash Trinity; Destruction, Sodom and Kreator. And honorable mentions of Anthrax, Saxon, Infernal Majesty, Exciter, Sadistik Exekution...

Well I think either grease monkey would be good just as long you don't take that Roy Jung from F91's Frontier 4 Museum. Your Mobile might explode by just going down the street. Or if you got really unlucky your weapons would kill you and not the enemy.

The game of WH 40K gotten its fair share of upgrades in the history of mankind. My knowlegde is that of version 2, once they went for the realistic feel in version 3 I lost interest almost immediately. The universe you see in Dawn of War is just a insignificant spec in the gargantuan mass that is th...
