    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.

    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.

    The way they put this trailer together... I could be wrong, but the way this trailer is selling things is something I'm not buying. I can't put my finger on it but I'm not feelin' it.

    Visuals OK. Something about the story is not jiving with me.

    Production-wise, it's a retcon. In-universe? Don't know.

    Adaption/remake of the anime film.

    No religious or political debates. Consider yourself warned.

    The beginning was OK. After the half-way point, I think it started to lose me. That ending was just long.

    I doubt we'll see our lovable spider tanks (Fuchis or Tachis). They may fit in the big tank, but I'm doubting they'll do the lovable mechanized comic relief.

    It has a single player. I have no idea how good it is.

    Heard that while it was much better than Titanfall 1, it's pretty much flopped. Could have been due to market saturation, bad timing, etc. It wasn't even on my radar despite me watching the trailers and some of the walkthrough videos on Youtube..

    Didn't even know it started.

    Whoops. That should be 35 years, not 45 years.

    As long as they still make spare parts? A VF-1 (a VF-1X be it at that) was still in combat service in VF-X 2 (2050s), 45 years after they stopped production. This is one of those quick-but-no-easy-answer questions. It really depends on money and necessity from the buyer standpoint. For the manufacturer, they could be supporting a craft for decades after they finish mass production if they still can make money from it. For worlds that have money, 10 years is probably the max. For worlds with less resources, likely 20+. Or they could phase in UAVs and skip VFs altogether. It depends.

    But battery life would be affected at 1080p on a small device. If it could output at 4K when docked, that would be a interesting.

    I'd look at Mac as well, if you spend more time doing work (i.e. Photoshop or media editing) than gaming.
