I think the underlying problem is expectations and accessibility. A problem these days is having huge entertainment giants like Netflix, Crunchyroll, HBO (and the list goes on with companies specializing in certain regions) and you have fairly high expectations for these platforms, they rely on oversaturation of content but in that huge mass of content they often miss those critical gems that users want, sometimes due to region-locking, other times just due to neglect and shortsightedness or the difficulty of getting a license because some other media service has already locked the content in place with a restrictive licence. I'm not going to subscribe to all these entertainment-platforms because it's a poor value proposition and I'm not going to buy overpriced anime for the same reason. It's a crappy situation, but hey, that's life. Then there's accessibility, I might hear about a great new upcoming (or old) anime through word of mouth and then the hassle of finding it online begins, some things don't exist on Crunchyroll or any other media site, I can't find any place where I can buy it, so I have no choice but to make do without that content or find some other means of obtaining it. I'd also like to harp on about the lack of information on Crunchyroll (and to some extent the microcosm that is anime) even if you're on Crunchyroll it's hard to find quality content that floats your specific, peculiar and individual boat. When you're trying to find something worth investing your time in, you need information and oftentimes anime is niche, so much that it can be difficult to describe in words, even the best content-marketing AI in the world can't help you find it, and Crunchyroll doesn't have enough information on their site to efficiently inform their users of the qualities of the content they provide. I'm not saying it's a bad service, but it could be better (and by a large margin).

I had no idea I could do this, awesome. Thanks guys

I'm using an NVidia card if that's any use.

Is there any way I can specify exactly the resolution I want, like 1440 x 1440 ?

Hey guys I'm wondering if there's any way I can squish my display into a 1:1 or 4:3 aspect ratio so that the edges will just get trimmed away or display in black. Thanks

Are IEM's out of the question?

The precious belongs with me, filthy hobbitses.

Thanks for the advice. I think I'm going to cut down my budget considerably and try to just make the smallest reasonably powerful PC I can, I'm not really looking to make anything high end, my main focus is to just make it small and as good as possible. I've decided I will go with m-ITX, but I won't be going with a full sized card, probably something like this MSI Geforce GTX 760 so I can get a smaller case. I might just end up waiting to see if the GTX 900 series plop out a half sized card. I'm also going to go with a Maximus IV Impact mobo.

Hi guys. I'll start this with a bad joke; I'm a small form factor virgin. I want to build a new PC and I felt like going with a small form factor this time around mostly because I want to do something new and feel clever after doing it and maybe pat myself on the back a little. Are there any common mistakes people make regarding micro-ATX or Mini-ITX? I'm still on the fence about whether to go with M-ATX or M-ITX. I might end up going for a i7 with SLI if I do go for M-ATX (inb4 death by cable mismanagment). So let me help you help me by giving you some information. Location: Norway Budget: Max 2700$ Use (from most to least): Gaming / video / music / internet browsing / Photoshop / Zbrush / 3Ds Max Peripherals/Monitor: not needed OS: Undecided on if I want to go with something other than Windows this time around, consider OS price excluded from the budget. Personal bias: intel CPU, Nvidia card, case with subtle design (preferably black).

This is kind of the dealbreaker for me. The way things are now I would probably need to get a whole.. like.. arm thingy (don't know what they're called) to hold the microphone somewhere infront/above my face which will take up even more space . I'm assuming if I plop it down infront of my screen and behind my keyboard people I'm communicating with will pick up on that keyboard tapping with painful clarity. Or I'd have to put it down between my wrists/arms infront of my keyboard which just isn't right. Or I would have to put it somewhere on my left hand side, a space which is usually occupied with other things.

What's so great about MXL Tempo and/or AT 2020? Also; what's bad about blue?

Budget, well.. as cheap as I can get without my friends complaining about audio quality or noise. I could see myself spending up to 50-70 dollars (300-500 NOK) if I had to. Location; Norway. I'm not a content creator or anything, I'm simply a dude that needs to talk to other dudes with clarity. I'm not exactly going to be recording my voice for my own enjoyment, so spending over 100 dollars on this when I don't have to seems like a bad idea. Just as a point of reference for microphone sound quality, I've been using the G35 headset from Logitech, which I like but it's just getting a bit old and kind-of disgusting (I just don't feel like wearing a headset when I really think about it) The mic quality on the headset was really good but it does pick up on almost everything, so my friends have never complained about not hearing me, but they may have complained about hearing too much of my surroundings. I'm using earbuds, these mod mics probably wouldn't be suitable unless I can clip them to my clothes or something, I wouldn't want that hanging on my earbuds. So far I'm leaning towards the Snowball, why should/shouldn't I go for these? How close to my face does this fairly huge object need to be in order to pick up on my voice? Will it filter out surrounding noise? i.e. stuff mentioned in OP (TV in next room/mechanical KB/neighbors, ect. ect.)

Hello I'm planning on dropping my headset and swapping them out for new earbuds, this means I also need a new microphone. I've got a pair of Shure SE215 on the way and I need a standalone mic which I'll use pretty much exclusively for communicating with my gamer pals (Skype/Mumble ect.). Something that doesn't pick up on too much surround noise (neighbors/TV next door/mechanical keyboard(MX Clear)) would be fantastic.

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. Can you tell me anything about what they sounded like?

I'm just personally assuming that larger driver would be better for a headphone, but there are probably a lot of other factors that contribute to sound quality that I might be completely oblivious to. I can understand the necessity of different elements in a living-room speaker but that kind of layout is, well, not welcome inside a headphone (from what I've experienced(and heard from others regarding headphones with multiple elements)) smaller drivers and diaphragms have a tendency to sound flimsy to me (for a lack of a better word). This leads me to believe that the Strix Pro might have quite decent audio quality (admittedly I'm no expert on the subject) Thanks for the suggestion. The description of the headset seems a bit vague, I find it hard to commit to a purchase when I don't know anything (factual/statistical) about the headset.
