    Yes it IS a brick, which is why it's ridiculous that I paid twice as much for it. Then again, who would've ever thought that they'd have this thing at almost 50% off?

    I'm a minority as well, but I don't want a story being conceived in such a way that it's "designed" to have a static quo of women, gays, colored people, handicapped persons, Mermaids, ponies, guinea pigs, etc. "I" am probably in the minority, but I don't need my "minority-ness" thrown in the public's face in a quest for equality and some delusional, misguided, vain demand to be seen and heard. If a story is conceived and designed in a certain way then it should be presented that way; true to the vision of the creator, not catering to the hyper-sensitive, attention-needy masses. If a story is unpalatable then the individual and then the public can ignore it on their own free will and choice; IMO it's equally disturbing to force the "minority/equality" agenda onto others. In this day and age people need to stop projecting their own feelings of inadequacy onto society and crying discrimination and inequality when they see something that doesn't line up with their own views or expectations. Sometimes, "it is what it is, things are what they are..."

    WOW. I'm glad to see that I spent way more than I had to on that thing...

    C'mon guys, in this day and age everyone should know that you need to stick around 'till the very end of the credits...

    I always thought that the liquid cooling was just a cool-factor/gimmick thing; that's what I was told anyway...

    Eh, I kept thinking that "Pacific Rim: Origins" may have been another possible title for this movie...

    Well, considering that Ken Watanabe's character was supposed to be the foremost "expert" on this entire kaiju/nuclear weapons/Area 51 conspiracy stuff, being a witness to these things for decades, yet in the entire movie his eyebrows are furrowed and he's constantly in surprise, shock and awe as to the unfolding events of the story, no, obliviousness in this movie does not surprise me...

    Kinda have to include the silly human blathering; without it a viewer would be better off playing King of the Monsters on the Neo Geo for a couple hours; the monster action would be arguably better and it wouldn't cost you $16...

    Good points but I figured this girl was not the one to miss out on: I just picked up the regular "white" version and the brown one as well. I hope I can talk myself out of getting the black haired version...

    I don't know. To me, it's as if the movie would've been more appropriately titled: MUTOS, a Navy Story, or MUTOS, a Navy Story and with time permitting, a special guest appearance by Godzilla...
  12. myk
    Any proper Godzilla endeavor would have Mosura in it, for sure. Let's hope for it...

    I let this girl and her different colored "sister" variants get away from me last year. Am I crazy for wanting to hunt down all three in the expensive after-market? DEFINITELY NOT SAFE FOR WORK: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIG-MOE-6541&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Delsa%24pagemax%3D20%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1 They're simple, almost boring figures but I'm hooked on their emphasis of female perfection presented in 1/5 scale. Do any of you guys have her or her variants?

    Goodbye to the man that inspired one of the greatest science fiction/horror creatures ever conceived; your talent will be missed...

    It was a 6.8 overall, with the 6.8 score coming from the hard drive access speed that somehow shot up to 7.6 with the new drive. Now, my lowest values come from the RAM, CPU and the video card. Looks like I've 'maxed this laptop out for all its worth... Ok, then I'll just stick with this Hitachi drive. I still think my boot time is very slow though, coming in at 40 seconds or so, and that's with everything turned off in the start up menu off of msconfig.exe....

    Looks like a confirmation of a 2nd series in my eyes. At least, they'll release this movie and test the waters and decide on going through with a 2nd series or not...
  17. myk
    Yeah I figured as much. In any case, I went from a 6.8 to a 7.1 just with the SSD replacement, for what it's worth. Not bad for a 2011 laptop, I guess. Should I have gone with an SSHD drive as a secondary instead of a regular mechanical drive, or would it have mattered any?
  18. myk
    Alright I figured out the drive re-naming thing for my new secondary drive; pretty convenient of Windows 7. Meanwhile, it seems that my laptop already HAD a 7200 rpm secondary drive with a 32mb cache, so any hope of gaining a substantial performance increase is replaced with knowing that I have enough storage space instead. Do you guys put a lot of stock in the Windows Experience Index?
  19. myk
    Wasn't joking; I was born a Star Blazers kid, as opposed to being a Space Cruiser Yamato kid. So is this a confirmation of a 2nd series?
  20. myk
    Who's that?

    Which is precisely why I don't like this version of Spider Man. Say what you will about Tobey Maguire's Spider Man movies, but IMO they had the right amount of campiness, melodrama and unwitting super-hero moments to make it entertaining and emotionally rewarding. . THIS new iteration of Spider Man tries to get heavy with the characters, the story and it comes off as drab and uninspiring to me. I just saw the first Amazing Spider Man movie and with this impression on my mind I won't be making any genuine efforts to watch the new one...
  22. myk
    How much faster would the 7200rpm drive be? If there's no significant performance edge I'll just go with a 5400 rpm. By the way I thought about that Hgct or whatever drive but their reliability seems spotty....

    And the Red Ranger will say to the Pink one: "It's not who I am underneath, but what I DO that defines me."
  24. myk
    Ok so I've been considering possible choices for my secondary drive. I figure a 7200 rpm, 1TB unit with at least 16mb of cache would be great 'specs, but the wierd thing is there aren't very many drives to choose from with those numbers; at least not around the $100 price range. Am I looking at secondary drives the wrong way? Are things like drive speed and cache not as important as they are with the primary drive? There are many more drives to choose from if I go with less than 1 TB and a 5400 rpm drive speed...
  25. myk
    Copy THAT. Some things are better left the way they are...
