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.

I've got a nice big Gundam update today: 10 new profiles. The first nine are to the section Hajime Katoki Variations, and they are:

MS-07B Gouf
MSN-02 Zeong
MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam
MSZ-010 ZZ Gundam

RX-78-2 Gundam
RX-78GP01 Gundam "Zephyranthes"
RX-78GP01-Fb Gundam Full Vernian "Zephyranthes"

The other is a new profile in the 08th MS Team section:

RX-79[G] Gundam Mass Production Ground Type "GM Head"


Credit for all these new pictures goes out to Dustin "WHITE GHOST" Wilkinson. In some other news, I was informed that Dafydd Neal Dyar, the webmaster of Gundam: High Frontier recently suffered a stroke. I want to personally 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.
