November 17, 2008: To Be In Love . . .
I've been told that it "must be the sweetest feeling that a girl can feel." And yet, I can't help but wonder if there aren't girls out there who think it'd be pretty sweet to be behind the control of a VF-1J Veritech Valkyrie. Screeching towards a Zentradi cruiser, the space around you alight with laser fire and the explosions of mini-missiles caught in your chaff, you shift into Battloid mode and execute a gut-wrenching turn to stick your gunpod in the face the Glaug on your six. Then, you shift back into Fighter mode and rocket away, through the debris of your foe before more mini-missiles can come crashing into you. And battle's only just started . . .
Or, yeah, I guess you could do the singing and falling-in-love and Miss Macross thing, too. Me? I'm more about the flying, shooting, and what-have-you.
I'm also, I admit, more of a Super Dimensional Fortress Macross fan than a Robotech fan. But that doesn't really stop me from enjoying the Robotech: The Macross Saga Sourcebook. Fans of Robotech will get a lot out of the book, as it's packed with setting information. But for people like me, even if I discard the bulk of the fluff, there's still a lot of great rules for all the mecha and gear from the series. And I do mean all of 'em. Even those cool Lancers you see for maybe 20 seconds in the second episode.
