I did... The implications once you get in are pretty horrifying.

that's true.

You can turn off the display as well. (edit: it can also auto-dim/off) And even if it's on, you can also turn down the screen's backlight so that there's barely any light visible when you have a black wallpaper. (You can fold down the screen, but if you want to keep it running while you're sleeping it's better to keep…

I do everyday when I commute to my studio (~16lbs total gear.) I work in 3D animation/motion and people I work with see it as something normal. Well, there's the initial surprise from the size/weight, then getting impressed by how powerful it is considering it's a laptop.

I do it regularly commute with it for work as I freelance, and it's a pretty good machine. Best thing is when you need to fly (across states/provinces, or between Canada-US) the 17.3" laptop is still considered a laptop and you can still have a hand-carried item.

I wanted to buy a Lenovo, but the cost-to-spec ratio's way too high IMO. Plus they swapped the great keyboard that the old IBM Thinkpads had and now have that crappy chiclet keyboard.

I'm on my G74 right now, got it late 2011. It was the entry model ($1200) and I simply upgraded it piecewise, including the monitor. The only real problem on mine was one cracked keyboard key (I use a mechanical keyboard, so it's not a big deal.)

you can simply call it G751 actually. (older models, just G71, G74, etc.)

Well, most verbal tics in animu's fucked up. Most often abused on anthropomorphised characters.

I miss the nyorooooon~ era.

Frank Agrama of Harmony Gold, which is the original intellectual property rights holder, will executive produce with Michael Gordon and Jehan Agrama. Leonard B. Rosman and Christy Duran will serve as co-producers.

Or best-case scenario where Sony can legitimately pull the rights away from Harmony Gold so Macross and everything else relating to it can finally come stateside in their proper form.

Aye. It's sad how people now consider text-based dialogue as lazy or cutting corners.

It also lets you visualize the scenarios with the right voices in your head, so there's less chance of breaking immersion. And just like when reading a book, you go through it at your pace, not the pace set by the cutscenes.

Yeah. There's a couple around Father Gascoigne's area. One died, other almost died and killed me with a sliver of health remaining.Now he's in that area with full health, griefing me. orz

Yeah.

So true. And the tension's worse when you finally found the boss area and need to fight it again.

It'll only let you convert bullets if you have health to spare.

Happens to me in certain maps. Dunno if they have an expiry date or something, but if there's a lot of blood pools on the map, only a few of them trigger for me.

Freaked me out the first time that happened. Didn't even realize it was the door-knocker until I respawned.
