    Keep in mind, many PC games, especially the FPSs are console ports. To pick on the favorite stereotype, CoD on PC in recent releases has been plagued with limited video options and some bad input issues (namely mouse input) which have had no signs of resolution. If you were turned off by Wolfenstein, might I suggest Doom.

    I think every game is a "mobile" game. The primary console is the mobile unit. The dock appears to be a charging unit/TV pass-through unit. The whole gimmick behind the switch is play on the go and then continue playing at home on your TV.

    IIRC, Rebels takes place 5 years before Ep 4 (at the start of the series).

    Did you try this? https://discussions.apple.com/message/17174292#17174292#17174292

    I think it has less to do with that and more with ruining the immersion. They could have dressed it up to look less like an ACOG from today. Alien is suppose to be set in the future so we would expect it to look less like something from today. But they didn't try. The AR-15 posted earlier was just a AR-15. The AUG is just an AUG with stuff on it. The M-41A pulse rifle looks nothing like the Thompson SMG that it was based off of. Han Solo's Star Wars DL-44 hides the C96 Mauser it was based off of.

    I'm gonna echo Graham's sentiment of the props. I miss the dress up. Take this pic from the weekend: ] It's a AUG with ACOG scope, folding grip, flashlight attachment. If I dug around I could probably find out what barrel shroud that is. It's like movie makers don't even try to make future guns look different.

    Well... I'm sure that ending will

    My current rig is a Haswell system. With those Kaby Lake benchmarks, I'm also thinking of stretching that upgrade from mid-2017 to late 2017 myself. Likely upgrade other aging components until all I need are a new CPU/motherboard/RAM combo.

    Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake review: Is the desktop CPU dead? The Intel Core i7-7700K (91W) Review: The New Out-of-the-box Performance Champion Hmmm...Well, this opens a few options for my upgrade plans if Kaby Lake-CPUs are only marginally better than Sky Lake-CPUs.

    I don't believe there is. The new forum software is designed to be more mobile friendly as more people rely on their mobile devices as their primary web browser. Therefore, most features which previously were exclusive to desktop are now available in mobile. I would suggest changing themes to the White-Blue theme as this has resolved some of rendering issues with the default theme.

    Part of me is glad I haven't watched it or even plan on watching it. jenius and jvmacross, would you 2 like a room? Arguing about each other's criticisms is like talking to a wall and sucks all the fun out of the room. It's just a freakin' movie. You can both stop or I can just ban the both of you to remove some of the stupidity out of this thread. Seriously, it's just a freakin' movie. Consider yourselves warned.

    If you are having problems with the dark blue theme, I would highly suggest switching to the WhiteBlue theme. This seems to cause less browser rendering issues. Yes, it is a browser issue. The mobile site uses the same theme as the desktop site. The new version of IPB now merges the 2 versions for a more seamless experience.

    Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

    Less Tony Stark. More Aunt May.

    American Gods has been one of those shows which they have been trying to get on air since 2011. Fuller came on board that show in 2014. Compared to ST:D which got greenlit fairly quickly, American Gods has taken longer and has needed more care so I'm not shocked he chose AG over ST:D. Fuller probably wanted to sit on ST:D in favor of getting AG on air first. CBS probably didn't like that and made him choose. Fuller still has EP credit and writing credit for eps 1 & 2 for ST:D. Star Trek can flourish with or without Fuller. That we know. American Gods has more to prove but above that, is a new IP that can grow in any direction.

    Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with the sentiment. Delta discs are not a priority for me, even with the subs. Frontier discs I actually pre-ordered. Delta? I stopped after volume 2 and haven't really found the opportunity to pick up whatever else has come out. The bad taste this series gave off pretty much defined my buying preference. Eventually I may pick up the rest of the discs, but I'm in no particular rush to do so.

    Nope. Shoji Kawamori Design works credits him with the helicopters. Also the handwriting on the spider-tank lineart looks too legible. Kawamori's handwriting is slightly more 4-year old scribbling-like.

    No. Not really. CPU efficiency has improved. The days of needing to blast the fans at full speed is not necessary. If you're not doing something as intensive as gaming or content creating, then you don't really need to make it sound like you're sitting next to a jet engine and can throttle back those fans. That's one of the advantages of PWM. PWM is computer-controlled fan control so people don't need a fancy manual fan controller.

    'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' - 15 new photos! (EW.com) I'm sorry, but something doesn't look right with this Vader. It feels like the stuntman has the height, but not the bulk. The mask looks too big (like the stuntman's neck isn't fat enough) and the way they drape the cape makes him look skinny. It's like they pulled a suit out of mothballs and slapped it on a guy without properly fitting it.

    If there is a Fry's or Micro Center near you, they should have fan controllers. Best Buy might have 3-pin to Molex adapters.
  23. azrael
    If the noise is really bothering you, then do technoblue's suggestion. 4-pin PWM fans are designed to work with 3-pin headers. You just lose voltage control without the 4th wire so it runs at full speed. Another option is to get a fan controller and place that in one of the 5.25-slots and plug your fan into the fan controller.

    I gave up on that notion a while back. Yeah. What he said. I'm not getting that from how they're selling the plot of this movie. IIRC, even SAC gave up on the strip-down-to-the-body-suit thing. By the end of the series, most of the team were using therm-optic camo with normal clothes over it.. 'Da frak???? They couldn't even bother to dress up a FN P90 or F2000 to make it look like a Seburo-style firearms?

    Cuz they switched gears in the next scene. She went from contemplating life to "F-U" from one scene to the next.
