    Convinced them that giant fucking robots fighting giant fucking monsters deserves to be seen on a giant fucking screen. We're still undecided on 3D though (stupid costs).

    Saw the IMAX 3D trailer

    It was something, let me tell you

    Something amazing

    I saw Iron Man 3, twice, hoping to see a trailer for this on a theater screen. No luck.

    I love how the entire explanation for the giant robots is 'we built them because reasons'.

    Like, I can think of a million more effective ways to fight giant aliens but none are anywhere near as cool as giant robots.

    The best kind of robots.

    CHAIN.

    SAW.

    SWORD.

    The Emperor Protects us from Kaiju!

    I'm actually given to understand that Gipsy Danger's sword doesn't work like a chainsaw, but is a length of razor sharp chain that can be used as a whip or garrote, and can snap into a sword shape via a powerful magnetic field.

    In fairness they have whip sword thingies in Warhammer too, so Nemo wasn't totally off base either way.

    the fact that you're even asking tells me you haven't played a Soulcalibur game, and haven't seen The Brotherhood of the Wolf.

    One of the very first console games I ever played was from the Soulcaliber series.... I haven't seen The Brotherhood of the Wolf though.

    Make no mistake, I realize that chainwhips are cool, but a skyscraper sized chainsaw might be cooler.
