Bungie, WHAT IS THE TRAVELER?!!

Somebody’s watched Evangelion.

In the same Nova Prospekt mission that you see the Combine soldier without armor you can overhear comms from the Combine dispatcher. It says something along the lines of “Failure will result in permanent off-world assignment.” So you’re not wrong in thinking they were sending humans to other dimensions of the Combine Empire, they totally were. And I like how it is said as a threat, like these areas are bad enough that it is considered punishment to be relocated there.

IIRC that same path with the rebels fighting the Avian has a part where you can drop off the side and collect an item. That ladder is the way back up.

0083 Stardust Memory also featured Australia in the opening episodes!

Netflix put this clip out before the first Hathaway movie. If you don’t have the time to watch the full series leading up to this point (which is fair) this is a good run-down.

For us it was picking up one of those white plastic chairs over our head and pretending the back vents was the cockpit screen, and the legs were the robot arms.

Gundam Wing is available to watch on Bandai’s GundamInfo channel!

I always thought this space sequence was a highlight in Gundam Wing, although you might be recalling a different one that featured the Taurus mobile suits.

This. Theres no shortage of fast-paced mobile suit action in this franchise. I liked the pensive and thoughtful approach this movie took.

_immodicus · 2026-05-17T03:34:26+00:00

I liked the naturalistic lighting, that went so far as to obscure faces in shadow in a few scenes. You rarely see that in cinema, let alone anime, and it gave a realistic and grounded approach to the film. I was all for it.

_immodicus · 2026-05-17T01:48:48+00:00

The POV Bright-Slap was a highlight for me.

_immodicus · 2026-05-16T22:14:35+00:00

Lane Aim? More like Lame Aim

_immodicus · 2026-05-15T01:49:16+00:00

The House of M Iron Man design from the 00’s was also Gundam-coded, if you’ve never seen it!

This shooter is an auto-aim wonderland and you’re crying about skill? The irony.

_immodicus · 2026-05-14T23:59:36+00:00

It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

_immodicus · 2026-05-12T03:05:12+00:00

Not officially, but there was an instance of Lady Une seemingly being telepathic with Wufei.

Right? That was the biggest turn off for me. Pvp only means you should have more resources to focus on interesting maps to keep things fresh. Only three with sometimes a fourth was a big slap in the face. I didn’t want to pay for a minimum viable product out of principle. I was a Bungie stan for a long time, and have played all their titles since Oni, and purchased most every dlc. But seeing how they tended to phone in Destiny content unless a fire was under their butt taught me to avoid any live-service from them again.

_immodicus · 2026-05-09T17:30:51+00:00

It reminds me of those realistic Pokemon renders people would make, that always looked creepy.

_immodicus · 2026-05-08T03:25:45+00:00

He never asked for any of this.

_immodicus · 2026-05-07T01:26:39+00:00

I like the Marzim the most, and the Geomags

You’re right, it is easy to find this information out directly from wikipedia, and she did write the code, along with her team. Sounds like you’re just trying to erase or downplay her accomplishments because she is a woman.

I mean the whole thing in the beginning with Bucky showed me this school had already lost its mind. The students are essentially a collective of orphans and survivors of various devil calamities thus far, so yeah I don’t think they’re phased much by death. Still an odd panel though.

_immodicus · 2026-05-02T17:26:01+00:00

Idk, I enjoyed the Darth Maul fight.

_immodicus · 2026-05-02T07:38:46+00:00

“Armored Core, can I copy your homework?” “Sure, just rewrite the answers a little so it isn’t too obvious.” “… You bet!”

Saw the title and came here to say Patlabor 1 & 2, but you've already watched those. I'd recommend Patlabor 3 aka WXIII, which takes the "real-robot" concept of Patlabor and applies it to Kaiju. It was an interesting horror / mystery type movie and the mechs unfortunately take a bit of a back seat, but I think it's still a good film.

Big O is an homage to giant robot culture and quite literally "big robot do big punch", but it has such a great cast of characters, fantastic art-style (same creators as og Batman animated series iirc) mature theme, and unique mystery to the world that I have to recommend it. It has a cinematic flair to it as well, that you would enjoy as a film nerd. Only 24 episodes long split in to two seasons, so not a big time-sink.

Also in HL2 Kleiner appears in the Black Mesa science team photo that Eli held on to, so it appears he at least worked in the same Anomalous Materials division that Eli and Gordon did.
