Unintelligent nonhumanoid aliens are really fucking boring. I'd enjoy a series where the protagonist starts off killing what he thinks are mindless bugs, only to discover that he was shooting at innocent civilians with families in a highly complex society.
Also, UNDERSTANDING, but I think we all hate that one. It just makes me appreciate stuff like Mass Effect for having Cerberus and 40k for having the Imperium be the way it is.
And speaking of 40k, I want to see more factions like the Orkz that can technically think and reason, but are dumber than rocks. Sci-fi is stuffed with races that are either special snowflake superior to humans or mindless.
Hey, I was glancing at the news a little while ago and saw this:
http://news.yahoo.com/us-space-mining-law-spark-interplanetary-gold-rush-071747749.html
Text of the bill:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/2262/text
I figured this might be relevant to our interests since we've talked before about how space colonization can become economically feasible. While I'm not sure this would spark a "Space Gold Rush," this does seem to be a step in the right direction. Setting up a legal framework for making sure space entrepreneurs can enjoy the fruits of their labor makes space exploration quite a bit more attractive, at least financially. The bit about licensing seems like it might come in handy as well. We've got a ways to go, of course, but at least we might get there a little faster with legislation supporting us.

Can the US set up legislature on it on their own given that space is kind of a global concern? Seems a bit presumptuous. I've yet to read the entire thing though so I may have missed something.
That said, I don't mind since as you say, it's one step closer and if it does become an issue in future there'll be no end of lawyers happy to charge by the parsec while they very slowly iron out the problems.
I recall seeing a TED presentation by a geologist who wanted to do a one way lunar trip in the vein of Shackleton and Scott risking their lives to go to the Antarctic. Something like that is probably necessary to set up a refining station and such before space mining will really take off I imagine.
>>13604992
Well, for now, the law just applies to U.S. citizens--it's a reassurance that if a U.S. citizen or company mines stuff from space, all that stuff is theirs--i.e the U.S. government itself won't get in the way of their profits, which is an incentive. You're right that in the future, we may have to get other countries involved (for instance, what if we send a miner up on another country's rockets or vice versa, which countries get dibs on which asteroids to mine, etc.) but that's a long way off.

The US owns the moon, mars and most other parts of space as well, commie

I'm 27 episodes into ZZ, and I'm liking it a lot more than I liked Zeta.
I don't know.
I really don't.
The Game is finally out.
Time for initial impressions, quests troubleshooting, general tips and help but it's highly recommended (at least for the time begin) to keep thespoilersas low as possible as some people is either not as fast or has to get the game yet.

Be careful as this very launch video has themspoilersin it.

Everything except for the movies and the extras.

Considering Shinji's issues come from how no one in his life really selflessly liked him and everyone was just trying to either manipulate or hurt him, no he really wouldn't.
Brightslap actually made things worse for Amuro, something people seem to forget.
What s /m/ opinion, also give me good suggestions on what to watch/play
>>13607779
>give me good suggestions on what to watch/play
who the fuck do you think you are

Google "mecha anime". It's not that hard. hell there's even a few charts floating around.
If you want some real suggestions from /m/, try giving us something to go off of, or a list of things you've watched or seen. Also a less entitled tone would.

Best Mobile suit design of all time is the Full Burnern. It's balanced and complex enough that it's easy on the eyes (the larger feet and shoulder armor especially help balance out the bigger back thruster array) and yet simple and straightforward enough that there isn't a mechanical designer on the planet that can make it look bad.
What two toku a tors would you wanna see pound it the mostsuit actors and suits are fair game
Takaiwa and Watanabe have pretty nice asses.
>>13606542
How would you feel about them bumping butts anon
>>13606501
Are both girls played by girl suit actors? Or is one/both of them guys this year?
What is the Panty and Stocking of /m/?
Besides that one episode of Panty and Stocking.
>>13604751

I'm working on my Christmas video playlist.
I've got 0080, two Tsuburaya pro commercials, the Star Wars Holiday Special, the Kamen Rider Christmas song, MST3k (Santa v Martians, Mexican Santa, and Jack Frost), a Doraemon xmas special or two, Keroro 39 and 243, UY ep 10, and some wrasslin content.
Are there any live shows that did Christmas stuff? I found an Anpanman stage show but nothing KR or sentai.
I know there's some eps of Sentai at least that get xmasy, gotta wrangle those up still
>>13604431
There's a Christmas episode of Big O, I suggest that.
>>13604431
Are you just looking for /m/ related christmas episodes and movies?
Episode 11 of Big O
Mazinger Z episode 56
Robotech episode 35
Can't think of any others right now
>>13604460
>Are you just looking for /m/ related christmas episodes and movies?
pretty much
if there's a Very Southern Cross Kwanzaa or something I'm cool with that, too
thanks for the suggestions so far

Sorry, but your reverse trolling isn't going to make anti-toku retards look any worse.
screw the strongest, what's the WEAKEST mecha?
>>13604338
Kerott from Combattler V comes to mind
>>13604338
The HAVWC from Flag would be my guess, since it's just a tank variant for all intents.

Are you fucking kidding me? That's how they end a 14 year conflict? Am I being punked? Almost nothing was explained, and everything started making no sense about an hour and a half in. Just, WHAT THE FUCK? End of Evangelion was less fucking confusing. 3 whole series, just for it to not matter a fucking bit. God damn it, I hate Tomino. I have no idea what the point was of me watching that when the ending was possibly the most flaccid thing I've ever seen.
>>13603745
You can watch Unicorn now, if that helps.
>>13603752
It doesn't. I don't even have the motivation to watch the rest of UC. I've been betrayed by tomino once again
watch IBO instead if it's too complicated for you
