    Motorola Moto G 4G/LTE 8GB

     

    This thing is a perfect replacement of my Galaxy S2. Everything I ever wanted in a smartphone, well I wish it had HTC's One m7/m8 dual front facing speakers but I'm pretty satisfied with this overall.

    Last week, I went to see the anime/game singer, Ayane, in our local Japan Festival 2014 event. It's actually my first concert in 2 years. It was great seeing her live considering how long I've known her. Overall, it's not bad. Ayane performed the best she could. I would've preferred to see support band members rather than hearing pre-recorded instruments in the background, but I guess that explains how cheap the tickets were.

    ^ Well said. It's fun game overall but it feels so underwhelming from what was shown at E3 years ago. Graphical issues aside, the lack of customization of the gamepad controls boggles my mind. Coming from Tomb Raider immediately to Watch Dogs, it's weird when you have to press the right trigger button to run, left shoulder button to access weapons/tools, and B button as vault. It's really unconventional control schemes for a 3rd person action game. Since I got the game for free, I can't really complain much.

    I finished playing Tomb Raider myself. Great game overall. Enjoyed it more than Uncharted.

     

    Right now, I'm playing Watch Dogs. My expectations were high but what a bummer. The control scheme options are very limited for gamepad which really sux for me cuz I'm using a 360 controller. Using keyboard and mouse feels awkward when there's many game mechanics involved. The lamest part is that there's no melee attack button except for take-down opportunities. There's plenty to do in this open world game but it doesn't reinvent the genre. You'll find yourself constantly pressing the hack button when you're in exploration mode. I've only played a little more than an hour so far but right now, my first impressions is a bit of a disappointment. For all you PC gamers, this is very graphic demanding game. Even my GTX 780ti stutters a bit on max settings. Console gamers won't have to worry about this but they're limited to 30fps.

     

    Wow, this guy pretty much nailed the technical problems with the game.

    ^thanks for the recommendation, yeah it's not like I want to skip the first gundam and watch the movie instead, but I want to feel the original of first gundam series in TV version. I watched the last trilogy movie but I feel I must watch the tv ver.

    Sure go for it. However, just to warn you, expect nearly 1/3 of the show to be filler and some plot points will make zero sense due to production and business circumstances. Anyways, hope you enjoy.

    They're all good shows. Skip the tv version of the first Gundam and watch the movie trilogy instead. After you watch Zeta, you'll hate the first 16+ eps of ZZ because of its sudden change of tone but it gets a lot better as the series progresses. Victory Gundam is a very slow watch in the first half and it's overall the most depressing Gundam series with the amount of casualties in almost every ep. it's also the longest tv series running at 51 eps, so this will be more of a chore for you than Turn A. When watching Turn A Gundam, expect this to be more of a character driven show than action.

    I recommend listening to their podcast as well!

    Finished watching Gundam Unicorn ep7. 1hr and 30min of visual and audio goodness but also many head scratching moments on the plot elements.  Newtype mumbo jumbo surpassing the boundaries which includes time travel and ms regeneration. I understand newtype powers emit strange phenomenon however this is straight up BS when it emerges into the physical world, and time travel is the one plot device I loathe. As of right now, my opinion on this OVA series isn't concrete since I'll have to rewatch all the eps. 6 months to 1 year schedule release sucks. It took 4-5 years to complete this series. I'm just glad it's finally over.

     

    I'm continuing through JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders which has been fantastic so far. Feels like a shonen anime disguised in seinen looks.

    Saw Godzilla (2014) yesterday. Very slow buildup the first half but the last hour completely pays off. It was so satisfying all the way to the very end.
    I found the ending to be rather amusing when...

    The news media label Godzilla as "a monster that's our savior?" (or something along those lines) considering that Godzilla was partially responsible for the city's destruction and casualties. People are jumping the gun there. :lol:

    Thanks! This is my benchmark from last night. http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/3041122

     

    I don't see much of a point to upgrade your cpu cooler unless if you're an overclocking enthusiast. I'm sticking with my stock cooler since I have no plans to overclock, plus it sucks up more power leaving me an increase on my electricity bill lol. When you decide to buy a CPU, get it from Microcenter. They're much cheaper than Newegg and Amazon. They'll even price online match depending on the store. I paid about $100 less than Newegg's price for my i7 4700k. If there's one near your area, go to their site for pick up order or give them a call to negotiate pricing.

     

     

    On a general advice for anyone buying hard drives, try to avoid buying them online. Reason for that is shipping damage. When these fragile things are shipped individually, they'll get thrown around like football. I know this because I've worked at both UPS and Fedex few years back. Chances of receiving a DOA is a 50/50. Yes, you can argue manufacturers ships their goods to retailers but the big difference is, they ship in batches, meaning a fork lift is required. So its best to buy your hard drives from local retailers since working success rates and reliability is much higher. When you read hard drive reviews from Newegg, almost half the response are DOA complaints, but in TigerDirect there's more satisfied customers in their reviews. It's a conclusion I came up with based on these observations and experience.

    Ah yes, SSD will change your PC habits for good. 256 gig should be plenty for your needs and its fairly affordable now.

     

    I've only had this new case for nearly a month now so dust hasn't been accumulating inside....yet. I think what really helped is the closed ventilation on all sides except the back. Because of that, it does sacrifice some of the airflow and cooling. I also have a dust filter under the case which came with it. Since my PSU is 80+ platinum, it has a hybrid fan feature where it only spins when its over 90% load.

     

    Wow this GPU is incredible. 32 degrees C on idle with only 30% fan speed, goes up to 55 degrees under load with 50% fan speed. That's some amazing efficiency.
