    And we've found our wife-beating, angry-robot making or larceny-committing or womanizing shrinking hero. Paul Rudd Set to Star in Marvel's Ant-Man No word on which incarnation of Ant-Man he will play.

    Ok, I just remembered this: Yeah, I'm going with flying dogs over Valks.

    International release? Still a "No" due to trademarks. This is still a re-release for the Japanese market. But it hasn't stopped the import market. This would also fall in line with Bandai distributing their titles on their own instead of through a licensing group by eliminating the middle-men which has also, as I understand it, been including English subs on the newer titles. Down side is people are paying the import price for media, but now Bandai is covering more markets since more people have Blu-ray and certain markets are now included into a single region.

    Of course we COULD. But then we would have to deal with power requirements, structural integrity of large transforming robot and transforming at speeds near Mach 2, G-forces on the pilot while doing such things, being all-environment, etc. You know...all the messy stuff.

    Chris Nolan isn't involved on this. This is JGL and Goyer.

    We've had this conversation many times over the years. Why don't we have jets that turn into robots? First off, Complexity. Anything that transforms is fairly complex. More moving parts, more problems, more maintenance, more etc. Why have such complex devices when simple ones will do. Which leads to #2, Money. Robots are expensive. Transforming robots would probably break the bank for most groups. Given these and probably more, why have robots when simpler machines will do.

    It would be nice to see if someone attempted a kit-bash of Galactica during the 1st Cylon War, fully armed and armored.

    Yeah, I'd go with option 1. Less chance of your stuff being tossed around by the crew or the luggage conveyor belts. Just be sure they don't take away your hand-carry bag due to people carrying too much stuff on carry-on.

    This isn't listed as a feature so I'm going with "No".

    There are other bottlenecks like memory bandwidth, hard drive speeds, SSD read speeds. But yes, good parts selection will last you a while and you can keep going for quite some time. My current system will be hitting 5 years next year and I can play BF4 with no problems (BF4's problems are with BF4 itself...). While I've updated monitors, video cards, hard drives, enclosures, optical drives, PSUs on a routine cycle, my box is still running on the same CPU, motherboard and RAM from 4 years ago. And yes, I'm looking at upgrades, but since I used good parts and taken care of my box, I'm not pushing myself to upgrade immediately since I can still get by on my current setup. Right now, the only thing holding me back is my use of a SSHD instead of a SSD. When I got my hybrid drive, SSDs were still pricy for my tastes and hybrid drives offered a performance bump over traditional HDDs but without the high cost/GB of a SSD. So quality parts, time, and care can produce a setup where you're not spending money on a full system upgrade the next year, but on smaller items like GPUs, storage, and such.

    So...Are they gonna give us a bit more roar in the theatrical trailer?

    Well, your PM popup notifier was off. I've re-enabled it. The rest of your settings can be found in My Settings->Notifications.

    Isn't that the ComicCon trailer or the leaked trailer that show up in October?

    You can always start installing a game then run out and get groceries. Should be done by the time you get back.

    No. There would still be lag. Every display panel has lag. How much is another question. Just focus on picture quality.

    DICE optimized BF4 for AMD chips thanks to EA. However, I haven't heard too much from the Nvidia crowd. And benchmarks for AMD vs. Nvidia on BF4 have only shown about a 7% at-the-most improvement on AMD's side but Nvidia's 780ti blows away AMD's cards. I'm playing BF4 on a GTX 770 with mostly high-settings and it's fine for me. My beef is with the awful netcode, chat lag, and crashing.

    Cuz the word went out today. http://variety.com/2013/film/news/bryan-singer-announces-new-x-men-movie-for-2016-1200923164/ https://twitter.com/BryanSinger/status/408707930116980736

    They put Antje Traue through a workout for the Faora-character. I'm sure they'll do the same with Ms. Gadot. Also, I keep seeing this comparison thrown out. And Tom Hardy did the same when he had to bulk up for the role of Bane in TDKR coming out of Lawless. So I see Ms. Gadot hitting the gym. How much we'll see of her and what she'll look like when film starts, who knows.

    That should read: "December 5". Blame the person who drew the font.
  23. azrael
    And we have a Wonder Woman... Synder has confirmed. The actress has confirmed (via Twitter, @GalGadot). Time for her to hit the gym.

    Poster: Electro, I can get behind. The Goblin? Green or Hob...I can understand. But Robo-Rhino????? We're going that route with Rhino huh?

    That CNet article is in regards to input lag (the time it takes for the monitor to receive commands, then to translate that to movement on screen). While reducing the lag is ideal for quick movements in FPS-gaming, I'm not sure how well that translates to sports games through a receiver. Plasmas have better control over input lag and ghosting but that means nothing if the room is so bright that it washes out the screen. They still have lag, but it should be better than the LED LCDs. If lighting-control is a concern, then I'd stick with the LED LCD-panels. Going that route, I'd look at TVs that can do 120hz-240hz (as high as you can afford). But keep in mind that some of these refresh rates are not really what they claim to be. http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-33199_7-57598032-221/fake-refresh-rates-is-your-tv-really-120hz/
