sacred gold on steam, in a last-ditch effort to get around the sacred-gold-wont-install-on-win7 bug. jolly my actual timbers, it worked! I can now play my fave game again, although i'm still a bit miffed at having to rebuy it.

been perusing some demos on steam to discover that both Painkiller and Quake 2 will run on windows 7, so I'm weighing up which of the 'total bundles' to get. I still find it irritating that most of the old games I loved (sacred, simcity 4, plenty more besides) won't work on my 'new' laptop, so it's ...

FansProject are supposedly 'doing' an overlord, but very little is known about it beyond a test-shot of a head and chest-piece (IE one of the enginemasters/godmasters possibly) being displayed on a Warbot Steelcore body at their booth at TFcon. definately agree that buying piecemeal is both A) more ...

pre-orders (pictureless) went up for G2 FoC Bruticus on Amazon this morning, sold out by 2pm (est). possible that more pre-orders might be made available at some point, so worth keeping an eye on the listing if you're interested. $60, which is pretty cheap. also: 52GBP to the UK. (also listing DOTM ...

i think that in order to create a group page, you need to have an individual personal account first.

that said, i have no clue if facebook will allow for the type of 'group' page you're suggesting.

got wave 1 of the gashapon arms microns (the optimus/bee/snake/lizard). they are pre-assembled, op and bee are painted (snake & lizard are not, coming in either red or black plastic), and they all have simple transformations to weapons modes. they are fun for what they are, neat little transform...

(except deluxes in the US aren't 9.99 anymore)

so:

legends --> basic
scout --> plus

confusing, when scouts were previously called basics. but suggests at more integration of legends with the main toyline.

also no hint as to what GO BOTS are, but i'm guessing something bumper-battler ish.

trailer for prime OH GOD THE $100 TOYS still, it made me make 'squee' noises watching videos of it, and i get the impression from the amount of shooting going on that much of the movie will have a more condensed timeframe and storyline. an epic city battle done properly (rather than off-camera) is ...

got deluxe ratchet the other day been enjoying him quite a lot. very different proportions to the voyager, and it bugs me that the hip kibble couldn't have (at least partially) stowed inside his entirely hollow body, but still like him. the automorph on his arm is quite cool. $9, wal mart. also got ...

Optimus Minor is another one, hardly able to be called a Transformer rather then a glorified ActionMaster...and I loathed that toy series, what's the use of calling them Transformers when they can't even transform, apart from their gimmicky weapons and bases then. i must confess, i bought one after...

I think someone tried shortly before/during the early rumors about the FP set. i saw one pic, and it was all kinds of fail, even for a mocked-up proto. the artist/designer had apparently never seen a transformer in his life before, and was just going by squishing the proportions of the original g1 t...
