I think the original GBO got to Zeta-era stuff. Hizack really isn’t that far off of any of the Zaku variants. They have the Full Armor Gundam from Thunderbolt along with the Psycho Zaku, which are both more insane than the Sinanju or Hizack, in terms of too many weapons and stuff. They’ll really just balance them to…

I’ve seen the ranking system do that thing where they think one A player with a bunch of D+ players balances things out. I suppose it’s just a matter of whether there are enough people of the same rank to match you with. 

As mentioned in another comment, this is Universal Century only. That includes all the variations of those UC suits, so some of them get a little silly, but otherwise it sticks to the more grounded suits in early-ish UC. Also, don’t be misled into thinking this is anything like the mobile game or Gundam Breaker. Those…

This was out well before New Gundam Breaker. I would classify it as like...the difference between a Musou/Dynasty Warriors game and like MechWarrior. The Gundam Breaker games were more spammy, lots of enemies coming at you, and GBO is sort of the opposite. Mobile suits are kind of lumbering, and you’re up against a…

They’re not quite to UC yet, but give it time. The key will be that the Sinanju will be like a 500 or 550 cost MS, compared to your 200-350 cost Zaku II, unless we’re talking like High Mobility Zaku II R2 or some other version on steriods, and then it’s pretty well balanced. But with the cost difference, a low-cost…

They’ve actually had an English option on the Japanese version for months now, and even before that, it wasn’t impossible to navigate or play as someone who can’t read that much Japanese. With that said, I hope they’re doing region-based servers, because otherwise, all of you newbies will be stomped into oblivion for…

That was an unusually polite C+ review. 

Wikipedia seems to think that this is based on a comic series by Brian Ralph? After looking up the synopsis of those comics, I wonder if any of the producers actually read those books. It sure sounds like they took the “Max Max-style gangs” and “post-apocalypse” bits and tossed the rest out.

This looks like what would happen if the Disney Channel tried to get in on the Walking Dead market, but for teens/tweens.

193...oh, I get it! That’s cute. 

Also, not that anyone cares, but his grip is backwards. A running joke that seems to be prevalent in the Japanese sword arts community is that there are/were no left-handed samurai. That’s not technically true, but right over left is the only accepted way to hold a sword in traditional schools, unless you’re putting…

Let’s all be glad whoever was filming didn’t volunteer to play William Tell with the little shit. Not that standing directly in line with him is that much better. I’ve heard some real (second hand) horror stories from people at my dojo about idiots with no training and cheap swords. It’s all fun and games until…

What are the chances Netflix actually lets this be a one-and-done scenario? I feel like they’ve probably already renewed it for S2, and we’ll just see some glimpses of Julia, or a flashback where she actually does something earlier on.

The return of both Eddie Murphy AND Wesley Snipes? In a comedy about Blaxsploitation? What a strange, wonderful concept.

At a certain point, if these meatless “meat” patties become widespread and popular enough, their price will drop drastically, and big beef won’t be as necessary for your run of the mill, cheap as humanly possible fast food joint. So give it long enough, and this will be a production cost reduction, and someone will…

I mean, the actual vegetarians I know (I just have a recent as of a few years ago Alpha-gal reaction) don’t want something they’re 90% sure has meat contamination. If they can’t verify, that’s one thing, like when certain Indian restaurants put me on the floor due to some lamb getting in the veggie dish, but they’d…

I have the Alpha-gal thing, and I’ve had Impossible Burgers before when I could verify that the surface is clean. I can stomach them just fine, but not if they have a bunch of beef juice on them.

Come on, BK. You can’t pull this “it’s vegetarian, except we don’t even bother with avoiding cross-contamination.”

Remember, if you hear the first opening theme start to play, you just KNOW the main character is about to start talking about the power of friendship while the big bad stands around saying how impossible it is.

I’ve not watched even a single episode of this show, but I was watching this one over my girlfriend’s shoulder (she had headphones on too, so couldn’t hear). All I saw was a lot of Elizabeth Moss making overly dramatic faces directly to the camera, and at one point, a whole lot of nostril. Then a black lady gets shot…
