Exactly! As I commented on some post at Facebook; "It is the same as replacing the intro soundtrack of My Little Pony with Slipknot's Disasterpiece".

So they've finally done it, the movie from Assassin's Creed. Most of us have surely seen various short-movies that are set around the AC-universe, even parkour/freerunning videos have been themed to this, and as Warcraft movie hits the screens this summer, Assassin's Creed movie heads to them at 21st December, this very year! See the trailer for yourself and tell us what you think: My first thought: What the heck were they thinking when they put that rap-song (Kanye West I was told, never listened to it so couldn't say for sure) to the trailer when the picture transferred from "today" to the renaissance era? That person should be hit in the face real hard to be honest. It just does not fit there, it has absolutely nothing to do with Assassin's Creed, nothing to do with renaissance era, so in who's dreams was this a good implementation? Second thought: This is freaking amazing! I've honestly been afraid of every movie that are being based on video games, but since they've already made books and all from Assassin's Creed, it couldn't be that bad, right? The Books can be used to assure that they follow the specifics and games on the other hand give a perfect audiovisual road to success with this movie. It is a must see for me, not sure if I'll be heading to the theaters in order to see it, but I'll be getting it on Blu-ray, no doubt!

The product box / specifications actually tell, at least for my edition of GTX 970, that the requirement is something like 400-500W, though I don't know if they've counted the other parts in for this calculation, sounds and would be really high power consumption if that was solely for the GPU. But of course, clocking will increase the requirements and as I said, I upgraded the PSU "once and for all" to supply enough power for everything I have and will get for my rig. At the moment I don't believe I am even reaching that 600W, but still. Better to have more than enough than with the limit and chance for the power to run out in though situations that stress the GPU/CPU :p

I'm also highly recommending the GTX 970! Bought it for my PC that otherwise has about 5 years old components, CPU and all that. Yet almost every game runs with the maximum graphics. Most of the games are GPU driven after all. Arma 3 is literally one of the few games I am not able to run on maximum, because my CPU lacks the performance and I have only 8 GB of memory. I got a bit more expensive version of the GTX 970 with TwinFrozr -cooling (since my previous GPU had this and it was noiseless and effective on what it did.) and if I remember correctly, it was some sort of a "GAMING 4G" edition. Had about 80 bucks more price than the regular editions. GTX 980 is also viable option, but if you're not ready to throw that much money in it and if you don't mind overclocking your rig anyways, it is rather useless and does not meet the price tag. Encore: You don't need to upgrade your whole rig! I'm still running on without an SSD, just 8 GB of some crappy old DDR3-memory, i5 CPU that wasn't even the "toughest" 5 years ago and so. Only thing I needed to upgrade alongside with the graphics card was the power supply. I had something like 600W and have now upgraded to 850W so the GTX 970 gets all the power it needs. Surely I took some extra capacity there as well, so don't think the 850W PSU is a requirement ;)

The truth now, about what I really did play: Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, with a couple of matches in CS:GO... 26 hours spent on watching Game of Thrones and there you pretty much have it... What do we learn from this? Never plan on doing anything, won't happen! :lol:

450W PSU? :eek: Well be damned! When I got a new GPU (GTX 970) to my otherwise 4-5 years old gaming rig I upgraded my PSU from 450W to 850W since I wasn't sure if the old one was capable of handling it or not.

Yea well, CS:GO has been easy to foresee so far, since I'm trying to learn and master the competitive aspect of it. Daily matches keep the flow going! I'd actually love to boot up DiRT Rally as well... But maybe I'll do it this evening, rather than weekend. :mhmm:

One weekend just went past, and I am clad that Friday is a holiday, and so is the next Monday, so it'll be a long damn weekend! I'll be playing, well, most likely a couple of matches on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Besides that, me and my girlfriend have rebooted our "dreamlife" in The Sims 3, so that'll be on the list. Just maybe I'll kick in some Stardew Valley to catch up the seasons and start grinding money on it. Last but not least, I also downloaded Arma 3, which I actually played last when it was on Alpha, so I'm sure I'll enjoy those improvements, additions and other stuff added later on. That's it for the PC side, as I wrote this, I remembered that the Thieve's Guild DLC will be hitting shelves the day after tomorrow, so The Elder Scrolls: Online will roll on my Xbox One for quite some time too! All scheduled, don't ya think?

Yeah, I just wouldn't bother sending it to Thrustmaster and wait for all that long time if I can just put grease up there all by myself. Let me try to explain the noise a bit more: It is made by two plastic pieces rubbing together when the pedal is pressed (between the pedal and the platform I would guess). Kind of same if you move your sofa/bed around by pushing and you hear that annoying, loud noise, but it is a bit higher by its pitch I would describe. You know what I mean?

Since I've been racing with my Thrustmaster 458 Ferrari wheel and haven't yet bothered to upgrade for a better pedal set. My acceleration pedal has started to keep some really high noise occasionally when pressed. I was wondering if I can put some WD-40 to get rid of this noise (which sounds much like there is just not enough grease in some spot). Or would you rather leave it to be, go for warranty or something? Kind of scared of what is in there and would I break something if I would just spray some WD-40 in there? :eek:

Might as well throw in my laptop's desktop; [ATTACH]25435[/ATTACH]

Yup! I've been looking for some decent and cheap monitors so I'd buy 3 at once, so I don't end up like now, the other monitor isn't even Full HD...

Actually rolled all over again with the setup, since we got new tables me and my girlfriend. There is now way more table-space and some better positioning possibilities for speakers, monitors and all that stuff. [ATTACH]25414[/ATTACH] Downsides: Now I can not fit the damn Playseat near my PC again! Well, temporarily I can, but it is always a pain in the back to drag the whole thing around the room. I think I can manage! I've been looking for a way to attach my PC to my television and the racing wheel setup to my PC from a bit longer distance... Really long HDMI cable and USB-hub required I assume. :mhmm:

Aaaand... finally got the Fan Controller installed, so the side fan wont run on 2200 rpm all the time, but is adjusted by the temperature of my CPU instead! [ATTACH]25412[/ATTACH][ATTACH]25413[/ATTACH] No idea why the first picture wanted to lean back and go sideways... :hmmm:
