Couldn't hear it talk too clearly amidst the shooting and explosions, but I have a save there, so I guess I should. Hopefully mods will allow it to be a recruitable NPC, though it would break the game. THOSE LAZER EYESSSSS!

It took me a while to figure how how to do it on Big Boss Hard. I struggled at the end part it was aggravating when Ocelot connected in the secnd and thrid parts of the fight, it really took down the life bar. Ranka wasn't outstanding enough in my book, but Noe certainly earned her place. You did not even listen to Liberty Prime? Well it was a fine speech on how it was better dead than red. The Enclave were communist invaders, Liberty Prime merely executed it's directives. @Anonymous The rest of Fallout 3 was pretty good, though it was all too easy to get loaded down with loot. @Shin

Guess I'll just have to make do with Noe then. That nod to MGS4 also put a smile on my face, although while I enjoyed rampaging through Shadow Moses with Rex, the battle with Ray was just far too easy to be enjoyable. It was the CLASHING OF BONE AND SINEW between Snake and Ocelot in the final fisticuffs that stirred me up, with the various iterations of the health gauge popping up on screen. I shed manly tears ;_; As for Liberty Prime, I didn't notice the hunk of metal until the very last moment it got activated, which caught me by surprise really, even if it felt odd having a mecha in the Fallout universe. Seeing it carve a path all the way to Jefferson Memorial was total lulz, as he blew away the Enclave in total Havok glory. Ouch, no Ranka? Guess I’ll just have to make do with Noe then.

Talk about fomenting discussion. Not to mention that without Jason there, for the first time in ages the website is actually being true to the whole derailed theme. Unpredictable and spontaneous. I'm all for a coup d'etat that puts Haesslich in charge there. By the way, right now I'm listening to an MAHQ podcast and 08th MS Team and they are really hammering at the Shiro x Aina dynamic in the series as well as the tone change when the director had to be replaced. On the other side of things though they are countering some assertations that it's not a true U.C series because it has Ground Gundams. There's also a comparsion to Votoms in there too. Interesting stuff that you might want to check out since I know you're really into that one. @Haesslich: So Liberty Prime actually upscales in relation to your character model? I'm not sure how I feel about that. The A.C.E series sort of does something similar for enemy units depending on the size of the unit you are playing as, but that's because it has to in order to keep the experience a little more realistic. So then is there actually no official size for the Liberty Prime then? @Crusader: Oh it’s not broken, it just won’t turn on anymore. Power supply is toast.

Please do tell. I wonder what will happen once the winter season starts Mako-cakes will be back along with some dude from Maria+holic. I am sure Jason will turn up sooner or later, but as you say we might end up with a Jasmine Miao. ;) Well I bet they will make it work, I tried to get Fawkes to do it but he cowardly refused. Such a pity no one really had to die to do it. <spoiler>I am sure Mako-cakes can get some GN magic to help out otherwise I hear fakes in anime are quite convincing. Well given how Touma and Uchida (possibly Yoshino as well) don't care Mako-cakes will still have some people to accept his broken self. Then there is always gender reassignment. If Mako-cakes is truely blessed Haruka will be so AMAZING that she won't care. It's not like Haruka's a stranger to quirky people we know Haruka has a few of her own quirks too.</spoiler> @Haesslich

Right now I'm preparing to permanently derail his blog in order to continue the (non)broken tradition. [spoiler]But basically, Chapter 114 is about Kana pointing out to Mako-chan that he'll eventually get outed due to the lack of breasts, and Chiaki overhears part of this and offers to let Mako-chan wear a dress she (Chiaki) uses to hide her lack of a bust. Then Kana forces Mako-chan into it, Mako-chan tries to escape... and runs into Mako stripping Haruka. The photo in that Danbooru image is the aftermath.[/spoiler] Fallout 3 - as I said, the main quest is being retconned to judge by how they're describing Broken Steel, so maybe Fawkes WILL be going in there to save your ass after the fact. By the way - Player.setscale 10 means the player's model is actually Zentradi-size; or about 60 feet tall, which puts Liberty Prime between 20-24 feet in height. And it DOES cause enemies to trigger their attacks sooner as they can see you earlier on... but at the same time, you can still attack them at maximum range.

I don't think mine is a Falcon, the DVD drive and fan are loud has hell, though so far i kept it in running condition because it well ventilated and for now seldom used. My Cousin had a RRoD because he didn't ventilate his, my 20 GB hard drive failed and was "lost" by UPS, so I splurged on the 120 GB since I felt a replacement 20 GB was a rip off. My NES broke many many years ago, though how you managed to break a DS is beyond me. Hell mine survived a combat loaded M-240 gunner landing on me then again I was squishy... On SD Gundam Force though I found the dub voice work irritating and then I had to give up cable. @Haesslich Thanks will do in just a bit. Can't edit though, lack of skills. So planning on motivating Jason to post something regarding the previous episode of Gundam 00? I suppose he might be need a bit of convincing...yes? I have something I would like to forward you something to help Mr. Miao get back to his blogging duties, please check your e-mail at you leisure comrade. If I still remembered how to read Chinese that would have been great alas for my piss poor memory that wiped it clean for the sake of military basic knowledge...I recognize a few characters, but no longer enough to be considered literate, so much for nine years of my youth. With any luck Minami-ke season 3 will be better than season 2. I am surprised 114 chapters in and Mako-cakes thinks he can be a guy again... In regards to the Fallout 3 ending, you could have asked your super mutant friend to help, but no...still I look forward to the Liberation of Alaska and hopefully helping Liberty Prime clean out DC of Red Enclave Invaders. @Kaioshin
