a massive surprise.

FAQ update by Chris
9:36 A.M. EST
A recent lack of updates can be blamed on a computer crash that
wiped out all of my files. However, there will be a special update
on Monday, so check that out. In the meantime, I've taken the opportunity
to make some updates to the FAQ. Again, please read the FAQ before
contacting me or Lore. There are plenty of questions we get that
are clearly answered in the FAQ. One new question should be addressed
here because of the mass numbers of e-mails I get about it. Don"t
ask me to make a Zoids section. There will never, ever be
a Zoids section on this site. Aside from this news post,
you won't even ever hear me mention Zoids ever again on any
part of this website.

Zeonic Adventures
on PS2 by Chris 12:10 P.M.
EST
For the first time in a while I have a new Gundam mecha section.
In keeping up to date on all the latest releases, I've created a
section for the recent PS2 game Mobile Suit Gundam 0079: Zeonic
Front. Credit goes out to Dustin "Ghost" Wilkinson
for providing some pics, and Mark Simmons for others.

War in the Pocket
by Chris 11:50 A.M. EST
Much like the recent upgrades for The 08th MS Team, it's
time to upgrade the old reviews for Gundam 0080. Check them
out, along with brand new screenshots. Also, new screenshots are
available for Char's Counterattack and Gundam F91.
Thanks go to Corben for providing the materials to make all these
screenshots. Finally, the Lore Store has received some minor changes
in appearance as well as some new product links.

Amuro's Island
by Chris 10:45 A.M. EST
Recently I completed reviews for the Gundam episodes that
did not air on Cartoon Network. However, it did not mean all reviews
for the series were completed. Most fans are aware by now that episode
15 was deleted from the American release and will never be seen
anywhere. Well, at least you can read about it in my review, complete
with screenshots. With this 'lost episode' now reviewed, the section
is finally complete.

wish him a speedy and safe recovery.

Post Chat Comments
by Chris 8:28 A.M. EST
Well, now that we've had our first chat, it's time for some comments
on it. Given the short warning and odd time, more people showed
up than I expected. Despite my connection problems and Lore's early
departure, many good questions were asked. This chat was an experiment,
and because it was a success we will be doing more. However, next
time it will be planned farther ahead at a better time that is more
convenient for everyone.

A Trip Down Memory
Lane by Chris 6:27 P.M.
EST
While browsing through the files of the Mecha Domain, I stumbled
across something interesting. Burke wrote a page called "An
Introduction to the Mecha Domain" that gave some background
information about how he became an anime fan and what drove him
to create the Mecha Domain. This page helps put the Mecha Domain
into a proper context, and I believe it is a useful piece of information.
Therefore, I have resurrected this page as an article in the Features
section. Read it and enjoy. Also, don't forget to be at the chat
tonight, which starts in about 2 hours.

The Chat by Chris
2:37 P.M. EST
I'm making this announcement to help clear up some confusion about
tomorrow's chat. There is no chat room on this site. The chat will
be held on our IRC channel #gundam on DALnet. For those of you unfamiliar
with IRC, you will need an IRC client like mIRC
to join the chat. Follow that link to download the program and use
the website's tutorials to help you get familiarized with IRC.

Heavy Metal 2002
by Chris 12:02 A.M. EST
No, this isn't a review for one of those bad Heavy Metal movies.
It's the complete mecha profiles for the 1984 Yoshiyuki Tomino series
Heavy Metal L.Gaim! Also, in the continuing evolution of
the site, Lore and I decided that the About section needed to go.
All the remaining content for that can be located in the Features
section now, so please be aware of that change. Also, we're going
to introduce a new feature here. We know you all would like a chance
to speak to us and ask questions, so here's a chance. Lore and I
will be in our chat room at 9:00 P.M. EST on Wednesday, March 6.
During this time you can ask us any questions on any subject. Please
be aware that if something changes in our schedule the chat will
be affected. I look forward to seeing people on Wednesday.

08th Team, Move
Out by Chris 10:55 A.M.
EST
Some may remember my reviews for The 08th MS Team being
the very first to appear on this site almost two years ago. Well,
now it's their turn to be upgraded too. All 12 episodes of the series
have been upgraded, but that's not all for today. A new review for
the Miller's Report movie is also available, complete with
screenshots. Also, the Links page has received a minor update to
include Jason O's great site, Gundamwatch.
If you haven't been there, it's worth a visit.
