Favorite browser? in Off Topic by trekking95   
Tuesday, June 12, 2012
   [Edit]
So yes, this is a big question. But what is your favorite web browser?

I would say FireFox. Its fast, easy to use and has great add-ons like ad blocker (TronSector in-site joke: it fights for the users ).
IE is okay, but I found it too slow and it would crash a lot. Never had any of those problems with FF. But I still have XP so no new IE. That could make a difference.
I only have Safari on the iPod and it is terrible. No need to try it on a PC to find that out.

Also I just downloaded Chrome to try out. So far not bad, nice layout and all. I do miss the toolbar across the top since its easier to see everything that way instead of its single drop down box. Not a huge fan of the new tab page with all the apps, add-on links,...[See More]

I stick with firefox even though it drives me insane. Back in the 90s I actually preferred Netscape.

Yeah I have to see it too. I love that they took the time to give Zangief an russian accent. I have to ask is that Kano in the group next to the zombie? I'm wondering how many game franchises they got the rights to for cameos and if they're making action figures. Also rumor has it they might have Tron show up too.

Well, I have seen the original alien film and the original predator film and both are incredible. Although I have not seen alien vs predator, I would say that the originals on their own are very different films entirely. I say you should watch it, however the contrasting films may not work well together, but I still think you should go ahead and watch it. But also watch the original alien and original predator films as they are both brilliant, but I think they are both 18. They aren't as violent as anything on tv or in the cinema nowadays, but there is the one scene In alien... I would say alien is more of a sci fi/horror, while predator is more of an action/thriller/kind of suspense. Im not sure what genre alien v predator would be. Anyway, it's your choice, whatever suits you, but I woul ...

Wii U... We have to talk in Off Topic by Kukaahi   
Wednesday, June 6, 2012
   [Edit]
I just have to ask, will you, wii u? My money says that this will be another system plagued with remakes and half baked party games. I don't mean to sound like a rant but the first game I've seen is the remake, Super Mario Bros. U. Please tell me I'm wrong because I would love to see something that sparks my interest....[See More]

Well it's official you're looking at 299.99 or 349.99 which isn't all that bad. I bet the next playstation'll be 500.

Wii U? Absolutely. I've never been displeased with a Nintendo product (except Virtual Boy, but thats long been forgiven). ZombiU, the fact that the WiiU is the more powerful system, tablet controller and even more traditional "Pro" controller for standard non-tablet games. That and the Devs love the hardware. Check out some Randy Pitchford interviews, he's saying that Aliens: Colonial Marines looks and performs best on the WiiU.
HELP- I can't take off this minimates helmet in Off Topic by malindigo   
Saturday, June 9, 2012
   [Edit]
I just got their Heralds of Galactus set & I can't get Galactus helmet off...his head just pops off. I'm new to minimates & don't know what to do. It's on totally crooked & looks awful. This is a gift & I can't give it looking this stupid. How can I get the helmet off???

What I've tried so far is insert m finger nail and run it all around the base of the helmet in hopes of loosening it. And I put paper over the ball joint to make the head fit on tighter & attempted to get a wiggle goin, but it's nothin doin. If I could just rotate it so his face is centered int he helmet frame I'd be happy.

{edit for typos & to update with what I've tried in order to remove it}...[See More]

Maybe Heat and pop. The plastic is stuck to plastic and if you put it in Boiling water for a good saaaayyy 10 seconds??? This will make the plastic expand and more rubbery. take it outta the water and take the helmet off. Then let the plastic harden again. Like Mr. Therapist said I don't know how it will effect minimates as opposed to regular figures.

Hope it helps!

Normaly when things are stuck I pop them in the freezer for a bit or run them under a hair dryer/ hot water. Only problem is I don't know how this will effect a minimate opposed to a normal figure

Like I said on another forum we've lost nearly all the authors of teh golden age of scifi leaving us with dribble and garbage from now on. He's out with Clarke and Asimov probably stirring up trouble and new projects.

Aparently, they can't make him Norman Osborn because h is owned by Sony, as he was in the Spiderman trilogy. I heard somewhere that james Rhodes (war machine) might be iron patriot.

Metroplex is officially in the game. I preordered it with gamestop as much as I hate to but they had the better preorder goodies. I also just preordered the first 3 figures from the Generations line linked to the game: a new prime, jazz, and shockwave....[See More]

They need to make it a toy line of it's own I mean no Ironhide? No starscream? No Trypticon or now no Metroplex? Heck WFC even has Omega Supreme in it. Rumor has it that there will be another soundwave with official cassettes this time. So far you have to get 3rd party ones from shapeways.
