Oh, that. That was the first scene that came to mind in fact, except I didn't think you could possibly mean that scene, because all she was doing was sniffing him.

Thanks! I'd wanted to know if those were real computers and what the lights meant, but didn't know how to find out.THE Hal E. Burton 9000 wrote:^here's more on those supercomputers in Jurassic Park
Odd that supercomputers from the early 1990s seem to have been first added to Eva in 2009.
Ah, and they were made by the Thinking Machines corporation. So Mr. DNA's line was "Thinking Machines supercomputers and gene sequencers", not "Thinking machines, super computers, and gene sequencers". That's nice to know.

^nice screen grab
danke, Jurassic Park is one of my all-time favorite films, I saw it seven times in the theater (that record still holds today), for me it's a modern re-imagining of the Frankenstein or Godzilla-type monster movie with a Spielberg twist or twoNAveryW wrote:Thanks!

Is that a Boeing X-40A? The Rebuild shuttle has a larger and more tilted cockpit as well as a row of windows on the side but it's got the windshield-less cockpit thing going with some of the latest Boeing X-Planes.

Has anyone noticed Asuka's abysmal synchro rate after the Sahaquiel battle? I know she's depressed from the "forced" teamwork, but DAMN.

I think that "Synchronization Induced Feedback Rate" has more to do with the pilots taking physical damage from damage dealt to the Evas themselves, based on this rate corresponding to how much damage each Eva took.

It says advanced synchronization induced feedback rate... hence the amount of sympathetic pain/damage the pilots are suffering. 02 was pretty much undamaged in the fight, so Asuka is just fine, while Shinji ended up needing bandages on his hands and presumably Rei's at least feeling some lingering pain.
Also, I can't quite make out the the very top line, but I'm amused to see it labeled A1701... a Star Trek reference?

Yes I think it is! That the letter A is used before the Enterprise's registry number is curious, since the rebuild of the Enterprise (a Constitution class refit) which appears in films IV-VI bears the registry number 1701-A! A similar reference is also visible on Marduk's screenshot of the rebuild shuttle: beside the UN letters is the designation XL5-1701 (from what I can make out).

Now I've got the mental image of Gendo and Fuyutsuki taking a break from world domination with a nerd rage Kirk vs. Picard debate, until Ritsuko says something about the Death Star and things get ugly.
...and now so do you.

The main point of idiocy is for the smart to have their lulz. Without human idiocy, trolling would not exist, and that's uncool, since a large part of my entertainment consists of mocking the absurdity and dumbassery of the world, especially the Internet.-MaggotMaster

Yet another popcult reference:
[URL=http://img688.imageshack.us/i/uforef1.jpg/][/URL]
If you can't make it out, the Commander of Nerv's 3rd branch is General James Henderson, a reference to the British sci-fi series UFO (there was also a real Texan general by that name, if i'm not mistaken).
The office of Studio Khara during a busy day must have the worlds highest geek/cubic meter (geek-density) value.
Also noteworthy is that the description of the Task-02 issued when Unit-02 was fielded is in perfect English, despite the fact that it can barely be made out (unless you are terribly bored like me):
[URL=http://img46.imageshack.us/i/official1.jpg/][/URL]
Also, for any possible mili-geeks out there: the ships that Clocky blows up are of the Takanami class, and the fighters escorting Unit-02's airlift are Sukhoi 33-s (if i'm not mistaken, the same type of aircraft were on board the mother ship in Episode 8).
